I'm on an emotional rollercoaster and need some advice. For info, I've recently been diagnosed with ADHD and autism, and have ME/CFS from COVID. I accepted my dream job 18 months ago, with a boss I thought was sincerely wanting to improve things within the company, and really let me flourish. I should have spotted the warning signs of how many people resigned after a year of her joining (prior to me starting). There is also a conflict. My family own a business and use this company as a supplier. My job in the company is to service other customers just like my family's business, but that account has been given to someone else. This was known when I interviewed, and I signed all the paperwork to make sure I don't discuss internal stuff, not a problem. However it's now increasingly obvious that my family's business is being penalised because…

Okay, insert some annoying, BS story about your job where management is a pit of snakes and just completely, awfully, unethical and THE WORST. We all been there and are probably still living it. What are some mantra any of you tell yourself to rise above the BS and keep pushing? I need it today.

my boss (not connected) brought in an article about our local hospital that is expanding into this MASSIVE two square block hospital they are building. they are firing workers who have been employed for 20,30 years at the old hospital in order to bring in outside workers. apparently there is a city tax rebate for anyone moving into the area from out of town. they are trying to “bring more money in” but at the expense of people who currently live here.

My old former boss told me she was tired of working like a n***ess the week I lost my mother. She told me this with a demonic smile in front of other people (they laughed wither). My mother was a black woman and she knew I had just lost her. I told her all the bad things I thought of her and I left this thankless job. It was the best decision of my life. I called her boss so she wouldn't get away with it. 4 months later I learned that she had been forced to retire at 60 and that she would lose part of her income. Sorry for my bad english, I'm french.

Need options

I want to move back out to country where my rent was less than $600/month. I want to relax and hike and write stories. I live in the suburbs now and work full time it feels like I’m trading my days for money; 1 day of my life=$100. My parents want me to get a teaching certificate, and if I don’t I’ll probably be poor and frugal forever but I’m just so tired and I want time and energy to live

Hi everyone. I recently left a job (a month ago) at a nursing facility. I left because I was getting false promises about getting a raise or moving to a different position and I brought it up to my boss (he was the one offering it too) but nothing came along. I put my 2 weeks in, maybe a week before leaving, the owner got in contact with me saying that they liked me and offered me position and pay raise that I really liked. I said yes but then my boss (admin) came in and said no and I had enough of the games. I left a bad review on Yelp (1 star) and ever since I left, the owner has trying to get in touch of me (I blocked everyone in management). She’s been asking my old coworkers and even my family (they work there) to please get…

And the owner says I won't get paid for training (illegal much?), but it's okay because I can possibly make more than $9 after my probationary period. I feel so pressured to accept this job, because no matter how many jobs I apply to, I never hear back and I'm late on rent due to my fiancés family since we rent a house from them. It was only pure luck and circumstance that I heard back from this one, because it's a job in the very small town I live in. I'm so sick of this rat race shit.
