Hello!! I’ve lurked here off and on. The subreddit is always recommended to me. I’ve had no reason to post here. Until now. TLDR; my job cuts my hours to part-time to save money making me not be able to pay all my bills. I work at a plasma donation center making $15 an hour. 40 hours a week paid every two weeks. I often get disrespected by coworkers on power trips. Today I learned they are cutting my hours. “Let me rephrase this ,due to cost and production all hourly staff hours will be reduced. I have no end date as of yet,these reduce hours will began tomorrow.” This was said after stating that our hours are 32.5 a week. If I’m not mistaken that part-time. Then the center manager who makes on the high end $90k a year said this “Some hours is better than no hours, we…

i know this is an anti-work sub but i'd like to hear yall's answers since i figure that most of yall hate ur jobs anyways so i figured i'd ask. im looking for a job rn i just need advice on how to deal with with difficult authority figures. honestly i have really bad anxiety and unresolved childhood trauma and with this i realized i am usually scared or intimidated by authority figures. im scared of talking to managers about anything because im afraid they will get mad at me. i know some of yall are gonna say i need to talk to a counselor about this but the counselor i have rn is not very helpful so im working on finding a new one. but anyway if anyone has had this kind of issue and worked through and can give me advice please do? i feel pretty embarrassed talking…

https://www.paychex.com/articles/human-resources/exploring-the-great-regret So there is this article that draws some really fucking bad conclusions about the Great Resignation. It's coming out and saying that 80% of all people who quit their jobs during the Great Resignation regret it. If you read the article it goes on to say that 47 million people quit their jobs during the Great Resignation. First and probably the biggest problem is that 47 million people left their jobs, it does absolutely nothing to find out the number who left their jobs for other work because of hour cuts/ benefits etc. Second. The methodology section is fucking abhorrent. Has roughly 1200 people, a little under 400 of which are employers not employees meaning roughly one third of the participants results are useless. That leaves a little over 800 actual employees. All of which appear to be self report as opposed to a generalized survey which is one…

i worked in a nice kitchen for about a month, was super excited to be there, always on time and in a good mood. but one time i get overstimmed and need to step outside at the end of my shift during cleaning. next morning i get a call saying “this job is too much for you.” when this job is actually all ive ever wanted. i did let my employer know about my meltdowns & panic attacks, and i let her and my other bosses know im autistic, so how the fuck does this even happen??? fuck the work system and fuck eugenics.
