Leaving a job I've had for over 4 years because recently it's been nothing but a stress inducing nuisance in my life. Have a much more agreeable job I already work alongside it but back to the main point, I did the professional thing and gave them my two weeks. But I can't stand the thought of showing up even one more day. Is there ANY conceivable reason I should force myself to stay? It's the kind of low paying physical labor job people just walk out on constantly and I don't know if there's any sort of repercussion for me making today my last day, outside of maybe them being pissed at me for it (not that I really give a shit about them). Thoughts?

so first off I work in the funeral industry, I'm a licensed funeral director and embalmer but mainly a embalmer, my funeral director license is mostly for show, strictly I'm a embalmer(BOH) ​ I work for a local funeral home and we recently got bought out by a corporation, the owners were just tired of running the business, wanted out, kids didn't want to take over, so had no choice to sell. one day we had a meeting and I honestly thought we fu**ed up somehow and just didn't know, we went into the chapel and all of a sudden were informed of the takeover by our new corporate overlords. at first everything seemed fine, but more and more of their corporate goons lurking around like occupied france and keep showing up, things have been feeling different and the incentives we've been getting for 1. first call removals after hours,…

I seriously can't fathom all of this nonsense. I am only 20 years old and I am not having kids. But with this I realize what is the point of living, if we are essentially just working to survive as well? Why work towards our financial freedom just to get thrown out of society with a whole bunch of money, but as an old geezer with barely any life left? Why is the education system so useless and doesn't teach anything of actual value to society like money management, relationships, taxes, debts, loans and other important stuff? I would care about school if they actually made about 95% of it actually useful. Why are we indoctrinated since birth to always play by the rules as a kind person, respect our elders and to always put society above ourselves only to realize it isn't going to matter regardless? I feel like…

I JUST found this sub, and this was the first thing to pop into my head. Back in March of 2021 I returned home from another state (moved there because of my now ex gf) and was looking for some quick work because I can't live off savings and my credit card forever. Just kind of applied for anything and everything I could. In July I was contacted by a company that assembled display items for stores. Things like grills, bikes, chairs ETC. Interview was over the phone, and I was told I'd be making 500-700 a week, basepay plus commission. I thought it sketchy but needed a job so i took it thinking i could just find something else later. First week: Training, which means no commisions and I get a nice check of 440 (Min wage here is 11$ an hour and I only worked 40 hrs so…

So here's my story everyone. I'm high af right now and just winging it lol. My friend told me to post here. ​ Since 2017 I have been heavily involved in Twitch communities and made many connections. I have streamed on and off since 2017, sometimes for a year at a decent schedule, sometimes nothing at all. I absolutely love the being online, the networking, the content creation, the live streaming. It's something I've been extremely passionate about. I only have a HS Diploma, only worked blue collar manufacturing jobs. The job I have now, I make almost $35/hr. However I work midnight to 8am, have to sleep during the day, and i'm just extremely tired all the time. I've worked there for 5 years. Within the last year I've been strongly considering leaving and going headfirst into content creation and live streaming with the small community I have now…

I'm a pilot. Specifically a charter pilot for a company doing a whole heap of medical evacuations all over my country. I havent had a full day off in months and I life in fear of checking my phone for calls from boss because I know I'm being stretched to my limit. Now I'm absolutely ok with all of this. These are trying times, I'm happy to he working… If I was being paid the correct amount. I started at this company 3 years ago, very junior but eager. Over those 3 years I've increased my qualifications and experience ten fold, to a point where I have become an integral part of the company, and alot of flights would not be able to go ahead without me. Naturally I assumed my qualifications would come with a pay rise, and according to the law, it should raise my pay by about…
