Ant-Man ended up being the final straw for me to quit my extremely shitty job today. I've posted the full back story below (previously asked via FB/Reddit) to give more context. It's been an absolute nightmare. Facts as relative to this group: I am a Very Big Fan of Marvel and bought tickets for the 17th the day they released. I mentioned the 17th as being my only required day off for the first half of 2023 in my December 2022 interview, hiring interview, onboarding, several meetings and worked 8 hours overtime to cover the day off in February so that I could afford to take it off without anxiety while also making sure that a day off for myself wouldn't fuck over everyone. It's been approved for weeks. Today, my counterpart admin associate told me that she unapproved it and I would be working it.That's a big fat fuckin…

At the interview, the owner/supervisor and myself talked about the job and what things I would be doing etc. He then told me that he really needed reliable help and nobody wants to work anymore, we both chuckled and I asked if the position is full time because that's what I'm looking for atm. “Yes, not a problem” “we have plenty of work and some overtime” so I'm like great and started the next day. 1st day I only work 4 hours, 2nd day 5 hours, 3rd only 2 hours. Before leaving I spoke to the owner and asked why I'm not working full time and he said “it's slow right now and nobody is working full time.” I said ok, left and never came back. But remember nobody wants to work lol

My boss has a quarterly meeting with each of us to discuss our performance and our goals going forward. I've been in my role for 6 months, which isn't super long, but i have been doing very well so I was hoping to go from level 2 to a level 3, with the only difference being the title and pay (my responsibilities would stay the same, my boss said). Today, I had that meeting. She said I was doing wonderfully, and in the part about what could go better, she said “nothing” and praised the quality of work I've done so far. She then said level 3 is in my future, but they don't do promotions til around your 1 year mark. To me, this feels frustrating. If my work is spot on with its quality speaking for itself, the only thing holding me back is… time? Shouldn't my skills…

Click invite link. Microsoft Teams app opens. “Looks like you're trying to sign into a new organization.” Click Sign In. Sign into Microsoft Teams using my school email. “We are signing you in. Please wait…” “Looks like you're trying to sign into a new organization.” Click Sign In. Repeat.

I think the first thing that needs to be established, before we call anyone to strike, is to start a conversation about specific policy objectives, and have a path forward to achieve them. Otherwise, no one will ever take us seriously.

It was probably the worst lie I could have told anyone but I really felt stuck between a rock and a hard place. I receive an offer 1 months into this already new job and I wasn’t sure if I wanted to take it or not. I didn’t even know until the last moment and I ghosted the place I worked at for 1 months. In the end, it was the right decision. I didn’t felt like I fit into the first job and I often felt isolated. I spent my lunches alone and my colleagues didn’t want much to do with me. I cried a few times on the way home. At the job before this one I worked at for a month, my manager was constantly bullying me and withholding information. She made me feel like I wasn’t enough and I became physically sick from the stress and…
