Got chewed out by my supervisor because grand-boss asked for some good news. And I was like “I've been here for 45 minutes, I got nothing.” I'm being foreclosed on, and probably declaring bankruptcy because my husband was terminated this time last year without warning so we've been struggling and drained all the savings. What bloody POSITIVES am I supposed to find here when asked for “good news” and haven't even finished my tea yet? But ignore all that and be cheerful for Team Morale! I'm also no longer allowed to say “I'm here”, “Living the dream”, “Hanging in there” or other “negative phrasing”

I finally decided to quit my side hustle at a Bulgarian mill 6 months after I started working for them as a freelance contractor. I initially received two full months of paid training that only served to mask what the actual job would be like and then when I was finally “ready” to start, I found out that they expect a team of remote freelancers to churn out complex reports that comply with their crazy criteria in under 5 hours. You actually had to talk to your supervisor if you wanted your lunch break so they would extend the deadline by an hour. I was literally expected to actually work 7 hours a day under a freelance contract when I was offered no perks (plus I had to pay my own tax and bank transfer fee each month). The most ridiculous part is they had an “attractive bonus scheme” where…

Not too thrilled with my current employment, so I applied for a couple jobs. Honestly just seeing if I can find better pay and better work life balance. Is it rude to get the offer letter and reject it if I don’t like what I get from the interviews?

I’m baby sitting my mom’s house while she’s on vacation. There’s a old couple that is renting the basement. I don’t know much about them except they’ve been living there for over 15 years. But yeah, I’m starting to get to know them. They don’t have any kids, and most of their family members are in other countries. The old guy is losing it? Or maybe he’s insane. Or maybe this is the destiny of men who will be a slave worker for 40-50 years and don’t have any legacy to pass on to. So this guy (on his off days) will occasionally walk up to the kitchen and have this coffee for the 100th time. And then will get distracted by one of my mom’s cats. Then proceeds to call my mom’s cat’s name over and over again. This can go on for 2hrs. Add in a couple of…

Hey everyone I’m writing an anthropology essay on quiet quitting and was wondering if people have any good academic sources on this, or related concepts. I’m looking at worker disengagement, worker/employer relationships, WFH, worker dissatisfaction etc Anything helps, thanks!!

I’m currently trying to change fields. I’m halfway through college for my B.S, and have started to apply for entry level jobs that I’m qualified for. I just finished applying for a job that I’m highly qualified for, I even have experience with their exact ERP software, as my current company also uses it. I have all their technical requirements, and even two state licenses. However, after an hour of fiddling with the application. At the very end, it asked if I had a degree. I checked no. I knew they required it, but I’m in progress, and meet all their other requirements so I applied anyway. The application was immediately denied by email. A human never even looked at it. I fucking hate everything.
