My last place of business closed permanently and I was toying with the idea of changing my job title to something with more weight and to tack on additional duties to make myself look more qualified. The jobs I'm applying for are in the same field, but I want to use it as leverage to ask for more money. Has anyone done this? Advice?

I am actually surprised by how i kind of agree with this. Thought for sure it would be another Millennials are the cause of all our problems type article.
I’m just a really pissed off American and we’re slipping further into dystopia. Thought I would highlight how far we’ve come in 300 years since Swift wrote his.
I’m thinking about having a conversation with my boss and telling her that my work load is way too much for one person. I need to know if my work load is as heavy as I think or if it’s all in my head. I work for my county and I’m part of a union so asking for more money to make the work worth it isn’t really possible since we have a union contract. Adding on a second person to help me is a super complicated and time consuming process so also probably not likely to happen. I’m not really sure what my solution is, but more looking to see if my overwhelming-ness is appropriate. I do monthly stats for my work and on average I currently get 140 phone calls (each phone call time ranges from 10-30mins per call), 88 emails, and 25 appointments that I deal with…
My partner (NB 27) recently moved to a different area in the same city. They do not drive, and their commute is 1.5-2 hours each way by bus now, even though a drive would be 20 min. They do plan to get their license, but even if they had it they can't really afford a car right now. They have been looking for a new job for months now, since the commute sucks, but their full time job and commute on top of their disabilities (bipolar disorder, celiac disease) and major depression have made that search quite difficult. To give you a sense of how bad their mental health gets, it's important to know that they missed 1.5 months of their job last fall (unpaid), because they were voluntarily hospitalized twice for being suicidal. They aren't applying to as many jobs as they should because they are exhausted and depressed…
So I work at a tennis club part time as a receptionist. They expect you to be constantly working even when it’s not busy and for not enough pay. Therefore, I have been kind of intentionally doing a shit job and they have noticed. I received an email saying that I will no longer be working the front desk. They are instead having me clean off courts and string tennis rackets. I don’t wanna do that lol. How do I tell them no fairly nicely in an email?
Here is the original thread after it was resolved, or that's what I thought but turn out I was wrong: My boss fired me because he found out I was attempting to help my daughter with an abortion after she was abused, now I'm not sure how how to proceed : antiwork (reddit.com) I figured that hopefully before running out of money and resources I could quickly get a new job and save (and hopefully move out of this state) for a rainy day, and was happy that my daughters pregnancy was stopped. However, I have found out through a redditor also in my state, that the discrimination and lack of approval for abortions is likely a lot more common and widespread than I expected. At work while going over applications for a position, this person overheard their boss talk about similar story about my daughter and me trying…
