They expect so much of me, they asked me what equipment I owe them, to write a job listing describing my job along with my duties, availability for an exit interview. And they want me to do a sheet up to hand off to the next person cuz apparently they don't even know what I'm doing. Why is even quitting at this place annoying as fuck?

Anyone else? I know this won’t happen for a good 20 years. But I can’t wait to see how office culture and work culture in general changes. I see tik toks of generation Z essentially stating that they are only looking to work the hours they need in order to get stuff done, (but for the same amount of pay), mental health days, etc. Now, I know it could take a while. But it makes me hopeful that people are catching on to this “work yourself to death” mentality being completely out of style. I will never work an abusive job. I would quite literally rather be homeless. I absolutely love listening to boomers complain about the following generations being lazy, unorganized, etc. it ignites something inside of me. This is more of a satire-ish post. Obviously I’m not expecting them to change everything. But very interesting to think what…

This really is just a rant. My bosses, also the owners of the company, didn’t give me the decency of a face to face meeting so I had to resign via email which I really didn’t want to do. They then told me who I would start training but gave me no direction other than “teach her everything”. In the last 7 days, that “direction” was the only thing that was said to me. Now it’s Wednesday afternoon and they are sending me email after email about things they need me to do. There’s literally no one else in this company that can do my job. I’ve done everything I can to set whoever comes in next up for success but honestly, I’m struggling to make it until Friday. AITA if I just stop preparing stuff? At this point I really don’t care anymore, especially when they couldn’t make the…

I am starting a new job as a lead preschool teacher next week, in Minnesota. Today I went in for some paperwork (unpaid) and she said I will be paid at a lower rate my first week since I won't be in the classroom. She claimed to not know what that rate would be, however. There is a bunch of onboarding paperwork and the reading of the employee handbook that I am supposed to do before starting- unpaid. At all of my previous jobs, this was paid since it was done in person at the office. I also have to do a fingerprint background check before I can start, and I pay for that — this one I'm pretty sure is legal in MN for teachers, it's just frustrating. $45 My first aid and CPR have expired, so I also have to take those classes. When I asked about that,…

i’m 19 and started working at a grocery store about 6 months ago. i’ve been told that i’m a very hard worker and my manager even got me flowers and cheesecake for valentine’s day for how much i do, which of course i appreciate. but this job has me constantly burnt out and i feel stuck. recently i’ve been scheduled more, generally 5 days in a row, one day off, then repeat. i asked for 4 days a week a few months ago, which i got for maybe 3 weeks. i also now have to do some closing shifts, which i was able to negotiate leaving at 6:30 since biking home at night as a woman scares me. hopefully within the next few weeks/months i will have a car. but i think until then im just stuck.
