Manager told me I made her hire me.

Yes, the title is correct. No. I obviously didn't. Honestly, I'm kind of pissed, but that's because the situation was so recent. Today I went to put in my two weeks. The work culture was absolutely horrible at that place. I'm talking about yelling at employees, public shaming, and 1-day brain mesh training. (plus much more) I just couldn't take it anymore, and I worked 5 hours a week, once a week, at minimum wage. It just wasn't worth it. I had multiple people telling me to quit. I waited until the end of my shift and asked her to come to the back with me because, even though the managers at that job seemed to be into exhibition, I wanted to be professional and keep it cool. I told her I was putting in my two weeks. And before I even got to the why (which was going to…

Sussy TED talk shared more than once…

I'm suspecting the sharing of this TED talk is not organic and is part of some kind of pysop. Maybe I'm crazy, but it's kind of odd that more than one person has shared the same centrist trash on here. Am I crazy?

Voting pro-worker: third parties and the Electoral College

Without addressing the pros or cons of lesser-of-two-evils voting, I'd like to point out that if you vote in a solidly red or solidly blue state, your presidential vote might as well be for the best candidate – because your vote won't change how your state's electoral votes are allocated. One place to check is https://www.realclearpolling.com/latest-polls/president/general-election. If your state isn't there, it probably means RCP reckons the winner of your state is a given – but by all means Google to verify. EDIT: Or check https://projects.fivethirtyeight.com/polls/president-general/2024/ – state filter at the bottom of the page on mobile.

What time does the dread set in for you on Sundays?

For me it’s about midday on Sunday that the sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach begins for the week ahead. Anyone else?

I JUST READ MY NEW COLLEAGUE TALKING SH!T ABOUT ME IN A PRIVATE CHAT WITH ANOTHER COLLEAGUE.

So this happened a few minutes ago and I literally have no Idea what to do about it. I (24M) started this new job last week with another newbie (24F) and we are currently undergoing training. So the newbie and our trainer (30+F) have become really good friends since they are from the same country and they’ve been chatting in private messages. This morning I come to work and the newbie left her laptop open and I could see chats about the trainer talking shit about me to her and saying she can’t wait for the training to be done so I can move to another department. How I am bothering them and how annoying I am. I’ve been nothing but nice and polite to these ladies and I genuinely don’t know how to go about this. Could you please advise ? Thank you.
