I know I'm in the mad minority, but I like working, I like seeing fruits of my labour. I managed to get into industry of commercial art and my work directly ensures what people enjoy in their leisure (myself included) has the least issues it can. But I'm so fucking miserable, because of how I have to work with people outside of what my job actually entails. I'm on the spectrum, I'm diagnosed with ADHD and I might have autism (can't afford insurance as I was born sick and they don't even cover preexisting conditions usually for years and even later only partially, so I'd pay more and not have the money to actually pay for my treatment, but that's beside the point, but the point for that is: I cannot afford diagnosis for that, so I won't know for sure). I struggle. As high functioning as I always thought…

I work at a small 200 person company. Tomorrow is payday, but they “didn’t process payroll in time”. Since Monday is a holiday, paychecks won’t be deposited till Tuesday. I’m fortunate enough for this to be very part time for me and I don’t rely on the income. But I’m so angry for my coworkers, this is absolutely ridiculous. Did I mention this happened last month too? Except it didn’t fall on a Holiday so it wasn’t as bad.

So basically the managers at my job likes to promise pay incentives for every day that we train new hires but they never do it. I don't mind training new hires but it's a lot of work and slows me down. They typically don't listen or pay attention and then they lie and say we're being mean to them. They also quit within a month because apparently it's too much work. Eventually me and my coworkers began to refuse to train new hires because it honestly wasn't worth the mental headache, so management decided to pay us an incentive everytime we train someone. For about the past year they haven't paid us any incentive eventhough they keep saying they're going to give us one. They will literally say I need you to train so and so and I am putting your training pay in the system right now but we…

I'm 34, I've never held had a job longer than 6 months or so. I feel like I've had hundreds of jobs at this point. Every employer says they will work with me but never do. I feel like just giving up and starving to death instead. I can't get insurance to treat my disability and I can't get/keep a job with out treatment. I got put on a PIP plan today at my job. It devastated me. There is no point to this post other than to at least scream into the void.

I am a independent contractor and for the past few months i have been working on a project that my older brother is in charge of. First few months were smooth, pay was good. Everything has gone down since. I get no help at the job site and work till 9pm 5-6 days a week. Last week my check was a late. No biggie my brother was out of town with his boyfriend celebrating 2 years. Wasnt gknna bother him. He gets back and my check is a third of what it should be. I was the only one on the jobsite working Saturday and sunday. Im supposed to get a check today and nothing. What should I do? Quit on my own brother?

Longtime lurker first time poster. To start off, I work in the food industry and have been here for 2.5 years. Currently in college but it pays my bills so I’m cool with it. We had a new guy start the other day and his first shift was with me. I won’t say everything that happened because it was so bizarre and way too much to reiterate but long story short I was threatened. The entire night he was on tangents about murdering women due to his hatred for them and gave me a detailed story of how he wanted to kill his ex girlfriend for leaving him. He made some innuendoes about raping me due to us being by ourselves on the shift and a whole plethora of other shit. By the end of the night I had made up a story saying my boss told me to send…
