So I just had my year 2022 review with my manager and apparently I'm not living up to the potential he sees for me. Specifically referencing how I managed and was “out in front of things” for a previous application I owned. Not only is the app I manage now infinitely more complex. 1 cloud based application previously to 1 application that requires 60 on prem servers to run. AND I HAVE NO HELP!! How the hell am i supposed to be out in front with something so complex while im managaing the windows servers, sql database, the application, and working with the business on issues and requests?!?! And you know what all that hard work only got me? a 5% raise on a PROMOTION. While the company standard for the previously decade was 15%. Admittedly that wasn't my managers fault our stupid CIO put a 5% raise cap her…

Was this shady activity?
Earlier this year I got employed at a warehouse as soon as I turned 18. I quickly ended up doing the end of day reports. My supervisor would tell me to change numbers on the reports almost daily, and the following day when I’d go into the morning meeting (he didn’t know that I was attending as the lady above me was training me for her job secretly) he would blame it on me and basically call me a dumbass. Shockingly, my supervisor had such a heinous turnover rate that I would’ve been the first new employee in a year that made it 3 months had I not quit. The whole thing was surreal. If I told people I had been working for him for longer than a month they would congratulate me. I did quite right before my 90 days after talking to my mom about it as we…

“Rb’s” fail
Went to lunch today and there was a young gentleman at “Rb's” there for an interview. The pink haired manager came out and they sat adjacent to us. The first question out of her mouth was “how old are you?”. The next two subsequent questions were “Do you have kids, and are you married”? I was in disbelief. I called her out on the legality of the questions she posed. I asked what other illegal practices they have. I asked if they still pissed in milkshakes. I was asked to leave. https://www.koin.com/news/crime/vancouver-arbys-manager-faces-assault-by-milkshake/

I hate it in America
I have stage 3 acute myeloid leukemia. Boss knew I had it when I was hired (it's progressed) and it's been affecting me massively and now I'm thinking about taking a leave of absence for treatment but apparently they don't offer it at all for any reason. I work in fast food. I'm sure I'm being lied to. And honestly I don't even care if I am. It's the fact that one human knows that another may be dieing and all they care about is if they can come in and make fucking wings. I hate it here. Rant over.

I actually love what I do for a living.
I'm a machinist. If I didn't have to work, I would still do this because I enjoy it. However, I still HATE that I have to to survive. I HATE that I'm doing it for some company so that someone else can get paid millions per year; more so, I HATE that someone else gets to dictate when I work, what I make, and how I have to behave. Mostly a rant here, but I'm wondering, does anybody feel the same?
I'm in a wheelchair, but despite this I don't have much flexibility in my income because I have no safety net. My full-time job doesn't pay much, but does pay just a tad above the SGA (Substantial Gainful Activity) line, which is the max you can make in order to get disability benefits, meaning that I can't be approved for disability because apparently my poverty is too rich to get government/state help. So after months of applying for jobs and rising debt, I finally got a job at a retailer for a part-time warehouse position to supplement my income, so I can actually save money and have breathing room. I started on Sunday and everything was fine until Tuesday, when my General Manager stopped by. He demanded I get steel toed boots, his reasoning was since I'm working in a warehouse (minimal moving of items, mostly scanning, organizing, paperwork stuff,…

Tech support site visit needed.
Hello, I have no one else to vent to. Both my mom and my brother think I am immature and irrational for feeling what I feel about my current job. It’s at an outpatient cancer clinic, and I’ve been there for 1 month. The whole time I’ve been there it’s been nothing but snail-pace training, no structured training schedule or established supervisor I can go to for help. The previous supervisor I worked with for a few days in the job left, the current one doesn’t even come out of her office to say hi to me and check in on me. I’ve been getting told by people to enjoy it being slow cause the pace will get busier. The thing is, I love having down time as much as every else does, but when I go to work, I want to work, not to f*** around the whole 8…
