So my kid just dropped a community college class. We were talking about the teacher. For reference it was a business class. This jack ass is literally teaching kids that monopolies should be legal and that they make things better for the consumer. She then started talking about how unions hold back corporations. That's just the short version. Our country is so fucked that the people teaching our kids can't even agree that a company controlling the whole market is not a good thing. This is why we are moving backwards. Half the country are idiot and a large percentage of the people trying to better themselves are being shoveled this bullshit. And I live in the SF Bay area. If this is the shit they are teaching kids in a very liberal area of a very liberal state Jesus Christ wtf they must be teaching these kids in “right…

It sure is. I need more money for childcare and to house/feed my family. You haven’t given it to me, so I found it elsewhere. Not sure if you've seen the inflation/cost of living lately, but it's no joke. I’ve been at my company for 5.5 years and if somebody else is gonna come in and pay me a lot more to do a similar job, I’m gonna take it. I’m not here because “we’re a family” or because “I LOVE health tech platforms and it’s always been my dream to work here.” Lol. Pay me what I'm worth.

I'm at my wit's end here with trying to find steady, reliable income. About 2 years ago, I applied for one out of hundreds of jobs that I am perfectly qualified for, but this was the only one at my dream nonprofit. I was ghosted as a way to tell me I didn't get the job. Today, my partner was highly encouraged to apply despite having absolutely NO fucking experience, training, education or qualifications in this field. It's my field, not theirs. Literally the only difference is our personalities. My partner is a very attractive, outgoing person and I hate, hate hate talking to people. I never make friends or smile. I can sometimes interact when I feel energized and I have my “comfort” people around, but for the most part I am extremely introverted. Because of this, I was snubbed for my dream job and my partner was encouraged…

I’ve been having so many frustrating thoughts lately about my relationship to work. Im 24, and I haven’t been employed since 2020. I’m a college dropout and until then I would be considered “high performing”- def the straight A type. However, I’m very much of the attitude that I have to like the day to day of what I do. That’s why I dropped my interest in a stem career. During college I really fell in love with teaching yoga and I managed a studio full time for about 3 years. That’s the only real work experience I have. All the other jobs I had I left within a few months because I just don’t get paid enough. I made the decision not to go back to work and instead focus on creating my own yoga studio. Minimum wage jobs don’t pay the bills and the last time I worked…

So I started this job as an accounts payable a month ago as. I'm the only one in the department and after a month I can fairly saying I'm starting to ease in the work load, the different vendors that we get and figuring out the new system. I also have to mention that the first week I started there was someone else with me in the department but she quit – she was a no show, no call and when they contacted her she said she's not coming in anymore – so ofc all her work load which was hundred something invoices was handed out to me. Also my manager has been pretty chill so far, and I've had no issues with him. That's just a little context. So now for what happened today. I went to my manager to ask him about an invoice I was struggling with.…
