I've noticed on the job hunt that the expectations outlined on job postings have gotten even more obscene since covid. It'll say something like “office coordinator, $15/hr” but then they'll outline they want you to maintain their social media, update their websites, HR tasks, events coordinator, data entry, customer service outreach, email campaigns and marketing, logistics and office supplies. Overall tasks that easily could be 3 people's jobs wrapped up into one low paying job. Deadass had the interviewer say “we like for everyone to wear many hats!” Edit: Bachelor's degree with 5 years experience preferred, of course.

“NoBoDy WaNtS tO wOrK.” MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE YOU ALMOST GO OUT OF YOUR WAY TO GET PEOPLE NOT TO WORK FOR YOU. Literally just had the rudest interview of my life with a lady who basically told me that they are “hiring” but not really (and even though it said “some nights” she basically said all nights) and got scolded like she was my mother over me wanting $13 per hour (mind you I said I was fine with $11 per hour because I need the money and I've made over $20 per hour so it's not like I was really exaggerating)… anyway I know some people don't like their job but GEEZ lady, she asks me more questions (and mind you this is just the phone interview and I did this first thing this morning so clearly she knows I was looking forward to the interview/prepared and basically rubs…

Lost my shit on my now former boss two weeks ago. I mean, all but beat his ass, lost my shit. Told him none of his employees respect him at all and no one wants to work for him, and we all know he doesnt do a fucking thing in his office all day but sit on his fat ass. HR heard about the argument and started reviewing cameras. He was terminated last Friday for watching porn in his office all day everyday. Fucker.

I really don’t want to live a majority of my life from behind a desk. Or be judged for not wanting that. Regardless of whether or not I like my job, I’d rather not put all this time to something that’s meant to run us ragged. I don’t want the people I spend my waking life with to be my coworkers. And I sure as shit won’t call them family so my company can make us feel better about taking 60+ hours a week from our lives. I want to do something. Make an impact with my company, or field, or something so that not just mine, but others work-life balance is improved. I don’t know how to get started or feel like I have much time between work and personal obligations. But I know I can’t do this long term. What can I do?

Just need to rant a little I'm sorry. I'm currently at work now on the shitter bracing for the full day ahead. I'm an autopsy technician, I work for the government, and haven't had a day off in six months. We're supposed to have two teams of 4 techs, and one photographer so that each team can alternate weeks of having four days off, then working a full 7 days. Not a bad schedule imo, but we have only 4 techs and one photographer and the two techs are fairly new, and we haven't been able to effectively train them to cut yet as the caseload is high (our office services half of our state) and taking the time to do so only puts us back farther than we already are. It has gotten so bad that me and my lead tech have threatened to quit from pure exhaustion but…
