Im currently carrying out my work placement for college. Its 12 weeks 9-5.30 unpaid. Previous student dropped out and they begged him to stay for another 4 weeks so they could get someone to cover him. I got trained in for a day and now I carry out a department by myself. They get 3/4 students every year and they rely on getting them and use them as free labour. Doesn't really help with experience as I'm carrying out the same experiment all day rather than getting experience with multiple types of lab work.

My contract didn't got extended cause the last month i had a conflict with a co-worker. I forget once to show up at work. While i'm always perfectly on time. My co-workers mostly go away earlier when i have shift. That night i wass late and solved with the working collegeaus. A week later i worked a night. In the morning another co-worker came in and the first thing he said wass. You where to late, you have to show 100% responsibility etc. It pissed me a lil off, cause i'm always on time and with that i mean always. No they dont extend my contract cause my response. Besides at my teamday somebody gave me a plus for always being on time. And a – for looking better at my schedule. Is this normal or just toxic af?

ive edited tons of different things. worked my ass off for the degree n to make my parents happy. cant find work in my field. fml

Just don’t. I just started going to school part-time while working full-time in the music industry (Los Angeles) so that I can enter a new field and get out. Some of the most toxic work cultures I’ve ever experienced. Undervalued, underpaid, and gaslit when complaining about making unlivable wages at 50-60 hours a week by being told that we should be grateful for even having a job in the industry at all. I’ve been working in a half-capacity team and have just been told I’ll only be getting a 2$ raise this year, while my peers in other departments in comparable roles have since had a 7$ per-hour raise. I thought my love for music would counter the sub-or working conditions, but all it did was kill my love for music altogether.

i've been working for 2 years and half in the same position in the same company. of course i took many vacations but didn't enjoy that much because of thinking that i'll be back to work after a couple of days. my job deals with a lot of stress, communication and physical activity sometimes. is it normal to feel this way? and if so what am i supposed to do/understand to stop or suppress that feeling?

Management sucks. Most of the employees kiss ass so bad it makes me sick.
