I've been working 70 hour weeks for two months and the journeymen I work under has me running a crew of three (I'm an apprentice) to get this big project done. To be fair this isn't a hard job if you have any kind of common sense and can work a tape and have tools but I'm tired of getting bitched at every day to hurry up while they watch me and my crew work. Like I was sick as fuck yesterday and I had to come in to get our man holes put in for this new electrical service at an industrial site. Literally every 15 minutes I was puking my guts up and climbing ladders, working a jumping jack to pack the dirt and clay, signaling our crane operator and getting everything ready. We didn't get a break for 8 hours or lunch and we worked 12. So…

Small vent: I've been job hunting for months now. I have 3 years of experience in customer service and 3 in childcare. I'm also 3 years into a degree in elementary education (I'm taking a break to save money before student teaching). I've tried Indeed, advertising myself on neighborhood apps, and even emailing and calling jobs in my area to no avail.

I just can't believe that this is all I'm getting after so long. I had to accept the job (I need SOMETHING to cover rent), but I hate that I'll have to give up every…

So i’m thinking of giving my 2 weeks notice tomorrow and I want some options. Sorry for the long post, but i need to get this off my chest. For context I am a dental assistant and work for a small private dental office with one dentist, one other assistant besides myself (hired a month after me), one hygienist and one front desk person. I am also 30 weeks pregnant currently. I’ve been working for this office since the end of February of this year. Ever since I started working there i’ve gotten weird/bad vibes about the office and the dentist. When I had my working interview he offered me the job in the middle of the work day which i felt was a bit rushed. I didn’t even have time to think the position over. I accepted the position because I was really needing a job at the time.…
