TL; DR – My boss sent a manipulative email to me and my recruiter, so I quit on the spot. I have a new job that I'll be starting in a couple weeks anyway so at least I don't have to deal with giving a two-week notice. Once I quit, my boss cried in her car. I don't think she expected me to quit on the spot because she already lost my replacement, who quit on her after 3 weeks. Hey y'all, Just wanted to vent if that's OK. This subreddit really helped me realize professional boundaries and helped me with job searching employers who will compensate me well and aren't toxic. I've been temping for the past 73 days for a a client company with a less than stellar reputation within property management. The company president is almost always absent in the office and has a sink-or-swim style of…

I have put off getting a job for a long time, but I can’t do it anymore. I am miserable unemployed. I have no purpose and get up everyday at 3pm. I’m really scared to work, I think that’s what it comes down to. And it turns into what seems like hatred for working, but that’s not true. There’s been times where I have been very happy at my jobs in the past. I just feel like such a loser and every time I look for a job I say to myself that I can’t do it or it won’t be fun. I know there’s a lot of shitty work environments but there’s also some good ones. My ideal work is to be my own boss and find a way to make my own money, but I have zero initiative so that hasn’t really worked out. I fall into a…

I love when my job assigns me mandatory work trainings when I'm WFH. I turn on autoplay, go to the pool then come back and answer all the super obvious common sense answers for 100%. I don't think there's ever been a single training where I've needed to listen to a even a single second of the information to pass the quizzes at the end. I do get annoyed when they tell us to do the trainings on our own time though when they are “required” for employment.

I have been offered a job for a remote work position with a graphics designer in a different state. She is on LinkedIn, I believe the company is legit, and I have found nothing online to indicate it is not real. This is my first remote position, and I am wondering if there is anything I need to be concerned about. I don't want to get scammed or give any information I shouldn't, but also would like the job as it pays pretty well. Any advice appreciated.

I lost my job on Monday of seven years because of my poor attitude. I worked as an office admin for a doctor’s practice and did their insurance billing. When I started, it was a great environment, with what I thought were caring and sympathetic people. Unfortunately, in 2019, the manager who trained me, and was a wonderful office manager, decided to leave because the owner refused to pay her a salary appropriate to her position. After they left, the admin office feel to two people, myself and a part time employee, who was in school at the time, so she wasn’t around that often, most days not at all. I was not mad about that as there were two things that tempered it; 1. My coworker had been full time until she decided to go back to school and she worked well. 2. The owner said she would have…
