I live and work in a red state. Let me tell you, it's about as wild as you can imagine. The majority of folks drink, do drugs, and fuck like rabbits, but they're in church on Sunday or adamantly Christian and will absolutely verbally (and sometimes physically) throttle you if you're different in anyway (ie LGBTQ+, atheist or not Christian, from a different background, etc) I spent a lot of time hiding and being quiet but something snapped in me in the last few years and I just can't do that anymore. I don't know if my age has made me cranky and bold or if I finally just broke down and let the lack of fucks I have fester unfettered by criticism. I'm pagan. I'm pro LGBTQ+ and, not that I have to explain myself, I am because Christianity has not been kind to me or anyone, really, and…

So short story, I got a better paying job plus just better in general, I was going to go to casual at my current place, however they want two weeks and I can’t do that with my new schedule with training. I work the next two days and I would absolutely love to on Friday say “ I’m not coming back on Monday”. I’ve never quit a job before but I’m absolutely done with this current place and all the shit that they’ve put me through the last year and a half. So can I email it, do I have to say it in person? Help an anxiety ridden person out, please!

I've been out of work for 2 years. I left to start college. I currently live at home and need a job. I am having a hard time finding a normal retail/fast food job. I only have experience in childcare and need 3 references for the center I'm applying to. One of my old daycare jobs slandered my name because I reported child abuse. This is a center I want to omit from my resume, but people say not to do that. I'm thinking of putting down a fake reference from someone at this center, but don't have a number. What can I do? Should I put down fake references? Maybe 2 fake ones one real one? How bad is it to put down a fake resume? Will I go to jail or something??

For reference, I missed her teams message at 3:40 and got back to her at 5:30, so she very well may have been talking about me. But again she addressed the entire team so I’m not sure.

I'm currently an hour into my shift and already hating it. My job can't offer any more hours here, so I'm limited to 20 a week. The positive is my managers and coworkers are supportive and inclusive, I don't think ill find something like that nearby. I've worked here for 5 months now and just the general annoyance of it hadnt gotten any better. Its retail and I don't like doing this job just to make other people money when I'm getting paid minimum wage. This job is also close to my home, which is a plus since I don't have a car. I really don't want to continue making $140 every two weeks, its not sustainable. Should I try to find another job in conjunction with this or just stick with this.
