If you are not willing to work 10-16 hours a day you are WEAK!

This is why we will never have worker rights. As long as the Boomer generation continues to vote we are doomed….

What would you do? Stay or leave for old job?

I currently work at a YMCA, while I do love my job, the customers make my day (shocking I know) I'm having a lot of issues with inconsistencies regarding rules around vacation time, my manager being hands off, my facility manager not seeming to care and me not even being able to get a second job without loosing my full-time even though I'd be working literally 7 days a week. I left my old job as a baker due to an injury, baking is a huge passion for me and I even considered going away to school for culinary while working there. The only issue I had was with one guy who was on a power trip, he made everyone's life hell and 4 people who've been there since the stores opening left due to him. I currently work with a co-op student here at the Y and we worked…

Work Related Struggle: Spending my own Money

I work for an organization that houses and cares for people with developmental disabilities. My job there is entertainment, basically. We have recreational outings, events, and have a classroom where I go if we arent having one of those events or outings. When I first started this position, it was ran by another person in a different department, and I was mostly in class. Last year, about this time, they made a new team for just recreational type people. It's been great, lots of outings, events, even more than before. Problem is, my boss is more and more wanting to get things out of our own pockets. Never anything huge, but if you want to go all out, it's highly encouraged and the boss often goes all out themselves. It started with some cupcakes here… Something for a cookout here… I started off not wanting to, knowing if I started…

The Joker’s Worst Nightmare?

New boss has me on FaceTime all day everyday as she “trains me” aka, does 1 hour of actual work and talks about nothing the other 8, how should I handle this?

I work for the federal government, and recently was promoted. I WFH 4 days a week. At my old job, I’ll be honest, the work was pretty nonexistent on days I didn’t go into the office, I had maybe an average of 1 hour of work per day. And then when I did go in I just sat there. This new position isn’t that that much more labor intensive, but the issue is, my boss has me on FaceTime all day everyday. This wouldn’t be a problem if I was actually being shown things, but it’s a lot of babbling about nothing mixed in there. And to be frank, my boss is an idiot. There are ways to complete tasks in 5 minutes that take her well over an hour to do. I don’t want to tell her his, as I want her to think it took me an hour…
