Currently on my last day of work in this hellscape. Too many toxic customers who never face consequences and absentee management. Switching to a new job where I work at a bunch of different places for 10-20 days at a time and collect unemployment the rest of the time. I'll be able to spend most of my time this Summer gardening and finishing overdue home improvement projects. Less money overall, but I saved a bit and got my expenses super low.

I work in a store in Texas. A customer literally dropped dead. No exaggeration, he just dropped out of no where, landed on his skull, bled on the floor and paramedics could not save him. (He died almost instantly). I called out the next day because I was traumatized. There were 20 paramedics performing emergency CPR, ripping him clothes off, and the family crying. It still replays in my head!! I have nightmares. I saw a man die.. some of my co workers asked me if I was okay when I came back. But my manager didn't ask me how I was doing. That rubbed me the wrong way. One co worker told me about a program the company offers and it will pay for 3 therapist sessions..but my Manager never mentioned it. I just wish they would have called or texted me. When this all happened, everyone was in…

Current job basically lied about being a remote position. Job application stated after on site training could you work remotely. Come to find out that and a whole host of other things were just a crock of shit from the jump. You have to meet requirements which arent disclosed to you and when you ask questions and want clear answers and goals, you get fed what sounds like excuses. Constantly moving goalposts. Doesnt help that its very obvious that favoritism is abound. Reverse racism. All the black people got to go home. Manager happens to be black. Gee. Coincidence? Today she calls me in to her office to berate me and basically I was sick of her shit and her fucking attitude problem and told her about it. I said im not perceiving anything, the favoritism is blatant. She says Im offended and I said good you should be. She…

Can we start organizing peaceful, armed marches in open carry states and march on large corporations and start demanding livable wages? I feel like we at least have to dip our feet in revolution. If the ultra rich realize there are more than enough guns for all of us, and a lot more of us than them, maybe they’d be more willing to work with us.

Talking with a local union, we have their full support. Just need to convince about five people to sign cards. What are some pro union talking points or ways to approach coworkers about this?

So I applied to an internship that was supposed to be fully remote and at least hybrid. I live more than one hour away from work so it was one of my main criteria. Now that I’ve started my internship I’ve been told that remote won’t be possible as an intern as well as some perks that goes with it, that were in a written offer that I have accepted. Did this happen to anyone ? What did you do ? I feel like I’ve been baited, and they know that I will probably not find any other internships now and took advantage of it by saying last minute that I wouldn’t be remote, which is the main reason why I accepted this job. Edit: The companies still list jobs as being remote. So theirs excuses are lies as well.

Without sharing all the details about why I want to quit working, I will just say this. I am able to make money by doing eBay and it gives me the flexibility to work on my own time and my own terms. I've been at my job for over a year now and my wife just started her job like a couple months ago. I'm not too worried about the instability because we have money saved up and I could always just go find another job. Either in my field or outside of my field. I know that lenders look at employment, but do you think we could still easily get approved for a mortgage even if I don't have a job and my wife has only been at her job for a couple months. We've been consistently paying rent for years. Never late. Our credit scores are around 700.…

It’s 3.15am here. I have been working since 9am yesterday. Now, no one has said “you have to work until 3am”. Everyone says that my company will provide support when it’s needed. But I have been desperately asking for more resource for my project for weeks to no avail. I have said I want to give up the project to someone with more experience to no avail. And there is a huge expectation for the work to just be done. There’s no one else to work on this but me and no one to take the fall but me. And now it’s the deadline (the renegotiated 3 times deadline) for the delivery of my project and I’m here, staring at my screen and the work is still nowhere near done. I feel like a paradox: I fear it’s my fault for not working hard enough before to get it done,…
