I’m a physical therapist and had my first day in an acute care setting. I took a pay cut due to it being a non profit. Orientation today revealed all these dress code policies involving no unnatural hair colors, absolutely no facial piercings (even if you put in a skin color one) visible tattoos etc). Also had some very cringe rhetoric that seemed geared towards women. And very cringe stuff about the corporation being “a family.” I feel like I’m a competent professional that cares about their job. I also have burgundy red hair and a small nose stud. I even offered to wear a mask to cover the already clear stud. I quit. And I don’t regret it. If I’d been told this was the policy at any point during the process I would not have proceeded. I’m not going to take a pay cut and then be told…

So back in 2019 I was offered a job and a place in the back room of a convenience store by the owner. I was living at a shelter and working door to door asking for charity before this. So I was grateful for the opportunity. Just had to work nights and weekends. Not bad considering where I was coming from. But after a couple of bad incidents last one being where I was attacked by a crazy guy that outweighed me by 80 pounds, I stopped wanting to work there. So I left and quit the job. Fast forward to just two months ago I’m renewing my food stamps for my now growing family. And the agent that is working on our case is asking me if I still work at that convenience store, actually took me a second to register what she was asking. I said no cause…

49 and have hated work for 25 years. I make ok money, but I’m either very bored or overwhelmed with my job. Previous to what I do now, I had the same line of work for 25+ years and was going crazy. Left banking for software (now wfh and good benefits) but still miserable. I don’t think I’ll like any job. Still have a long way to go until retirement is reality. It’s making me depressed and I hate everything. Help me

I already posted about this shit today, but I’m just that much more angry now that I know that the person who reports to both of us was subject to our boss’s bitching about stuff he made up about me. I don’t want to throw this other person under the bus for telling me what he said to them, but this shit is so unprofessional and toxic. I have a feeling he already told our district manager. I shouldn’t have to defend what I did, there was nothing wrong with it. Now I feel like I’m being undermined and criticized unfairly. My partner suggested last night that I start looking for a new job. I think they’re right.

So I just made this cool tool that automatically generates emails for you. It's super easy to use and saves a ton of time. I'm really excited about it and think it could be really useful for a lot of people. You just answer the prompts and it writes a well made email in seconds. It would be awesome to get some feedback from you guys and see how you like it! Auto Email Writer: https://autoemailwriter.com/

I have a job interview I am preparing for in the early morning. The location is a minimum 2hr drive from my home, probably more with the snow storm blowing outside. The position is temporary/seasonal, and I have an option/opportunity to live on site during my stay. The position is in the outdoors/winter sports tour industry in a high elevation canyon. The employer is a private resort owner seeking experienced outdoors guides. The location is extremely remote. I am unsure of internet capabilities. I spoke with the hiring manager on the telephone (he called me for an interview and wanted me to pack my trailer and head up for the season immediately. I told him I need time for making personal arrangements before leaving the valley for several weeks). According to the hiring manager, he has had several guides quit the season and head back to the valley. The season…
