I hate how I'm expected to come in whenever my bosses need someone to cover or they just got confirmed for extra hours in the middle of the week. Like my time isn't valuable because I'm not on the schedule ? If I'm playing video games, watching anime or walking my dog, then that's part of my day and it shouldn't be my personal responsibility to come in on my day off for your sake. If we ever make it country wide in the U.S. to ban employers from contacting employees when they're clocked out, I'm turning into a fucking rat.

I love school, always have. Special interest in math and science. I wish i was privileged enough to become a physician or maybe an anatomy or some type of stem professor. I’ve had to take two semesters off university now to focus on making money and I miss it. Just wonder what you all wished you could work doing instead?

I live in canada. I work as a barista. I want to send my boss a text saying “please accept this as my official resignation” or something along those lines. I get my pay checks at the end of the month, so basically soon. Can they withhold my final paycheck from me if I quit this way? Can they sue me for not giving two weeks notice? Shitty management is the reason and recently I had my final straw I can’t take it anymore, advice would be greatly appreciated

I resigned last week. My last day will be around mid-July. I'm in Asia so we don't have the 2-weeks' notice culture, and I don't intend to burn my bridges by walking out. But my mental health was already suffering prior to my resignation. After I tendered my notice, I realized that I still have tons of work and deadlines pending. It doesn't seem like I can slack off or chill at work. Today, I was extremely depressed at work. I quite simply couldn't give a damn about my work at all. I really don't care. But I have to force myself to care because work is basically a dumpster fire, and we're putting out fires all day. The happier I am during my weekends, the more severe my Monday blues. I honestly don't know how I can keep going until July.

I just had an incredibly eye-opening job interview experience that I just had to share with all of you. So here's the deal: I walked into the interview feeling optimistic because the job was advertised as a fully remote position. But boy, was I in for a surprise. What unfolded during the interview left me feeling shocked and disappointed. As soon as I arrived, the interviewer dropped a bombshell on me—turns out, the role wasn't actually fully remote as they had advertised. It was a hybrid position, requiring three days a week in the office. Can you believe it? They deliberately made it seem remote to attract more applicants. It's safe to say I was taken aback by their lack of transparency. But here's the interesting part. Rather than losing my cool, I decided to handle the situation with composure. I calmly expressed my concerns to the interviewer, letting them…

I’ve been put on a PIP with no documentation. I’ve busted my ass for this job and a lot of “numbers” don’t add up. How do I protect myself?

Been at my job for a couple months now, and I get the Sunday scaries because of my micromanaging boss. They are a nice person, but in everything I do, they find something “wrong”, no matter how small. From nitpicking language in emails to constantly calling me if I did this or that. He even said I have to learn how to read his mind lol (yes, really). My last manager was super chill, and I perform well under management that gives me space. Don’t know if I’m just a wuss or if anyone else has similar experiences they want to share, as well as how to deal with bosses like these.
