My psychiatrist, therapist and GP all advised me to leave my job because of how bad my mental and physical health had gotten I had been bullied by a very senior member of staff, and anyone I could talk to about it (HR, my manager) wasnt senior enough to actually address the problem Since I left I've felt dramatically better, my stomach pain decreased quickly and I've been able to eat meals again instead of the weight gain shakes I had been on for months. I have the energy to talk to friends and read and play with my cats. I stopped feeling suicidal Yet I still have thoughts about how “my job wasn't as bad as others, I should have just gotten on with it” and I feel tremendously lazy and entitled, despite all the evidence and professional advice that it was harming me and I should have left…

I have been unemployed for over a year and just found out about ATS resume bullsh*t. After fixing my resume and sending out some applications through indeed for remote data entry/customer service, I received an offer through a company called FYLLO. I looked up the company, specifically searching for anything fraudulent or complaints about scams, and it seems legitimate. I just finished a “text interview” where they asked me a series of interview questions via text and claimed they were monitoring how long it took me to respond. After the interview, the hiring manager said I seemed like a perfect candidate but that he needed to speak with the head office, and asked me to remain online. 15 minutes later, they offered me a job. They claim they are going to send me a check to purchase my home office needs (a Mac Desktop, laptop, various software packages, etc.) from…

Not talking about the people in the sub, or the OP’s, I’m talking the managers, bosses, and such that make this dystopia we’re living in a reality. I also don’t think that it should be as simple as being where we are, that’s too easy. Gotta be creative, and I don’t think it’s always a money or luxury thing that drives some. I reckon some sorts just get off on being Grade-A shits on a power trip, money is just a bonus. So hit me with what Hell would look like.

Okay so here's the situation. I accepted a new job offer but I'm debating if I should give a two weeks notice or not. There's a whole lot of reasoning why I'm leaving this job for a different position including in house petty drama, lack of training and coaching, favoritism/nepotism among other things. But I want to do the right thing and give two weeks notice (would have to give by end of the day today) What gives me pause is that currently it's slow at my work. And while they haven't made it a habit, they have in the past cut someone early as opposed to letting them fill out their two weeks. In addition, seeing as how two weeks from now is a holiday in the US (our place is closed Monday and Tuesday for independence day), I don't know if they'll use that as a reason to…

I live in the Netherlands and have been working for my employer for 2 years. I work in logistics and supply chain, but the actual work I do I feel could easily be done by a kid. Sure, the pay is decent – but I am mentally exhausted by the repetitive and manual tasks. My manager is a really nice lady and my colleagues are fun, but the company just announced they won’t be giving any raises for inflation this year and our “Christmas gift” last year was an ugly jacket with the company logo. I just had my first interview for a different position in sustainability (my core interest) but even so potentially leaving my work friends behind feels like betrayal? I know it’s not true but it’s amazing how close you can become to people you work with and it actually makes me wonder if in my next…
