So I am 25 and just trying to get by in life and get on my feet in a new city a few hours away. Everything seems perfect I stay in a local company and I actually move up positions (just from a server to a main bartender). Unfortunately the city wasn’t ready for me because the previous tenet wouldn’t move out of the property my friends and I put money down for. So our set date changed from the 6 of February to the 26. Only 20 days no big deal. The only issue is that a couple weeks ago I told my boss that I was putting in my two weeks so I was leaving by the 4th. He then took me off the schedule immediately. I didn’t work at all coming up to the 4th because of that. So I only worked 1 in the past 2…

I worked for this small business. I quit back in December 2022. Prior, that it happened in October 2022. I had to call my boss (owner of the business) that I can't come to work that day as I have to go to the police station to relort an incident. I'm not in mental state of mind because I almost got abducted upon commuting to work. I didn't want to tell her what happened but I was crying and panicking. She insisted to know what happened so I shared her I almost got abducted. She let me not come to work that day. After few days, my work had a dinner night, ironically to celebrate me and my manager's birthday. In the conversation, my boss was making me uncomfortable. She showing favoritism to that one co-worker I have, how they should be besties, how my boss looks at her Instagram…

I am seriously at the end of my rope. Every day is a chore, nothing brings me joy anymore. What's the point? I work to earn money to live but I'm not living just surviving. My health keeps getting worse, the stress is literally going to kill me. I just want to live. I want to make things and garden and relax and rehab animals, not spend my days staring at a computer and getting told I'm not working hard enough. Is there a way to escape the 8 to 5? If not I'm sure I won't make it to 40. I'm only 27 and taking more meds than my 80 yr old grandma. This isn't sustainable, I need to escape. I feel so trapped, even if I quit I still need medical insurance. All of my safety nets are tied to my job, my student loans are crushing me.…

I work at a grocery store and I’m the opener. Part of what I have to do is the bathrooms. I always do the women’s since I’m a woman and can go in there but when I try to knock on the man’s bathroom door, someone is always in there. Yesterday, a manager came up to me and complained that it wasn’t being done. I explained how someone’s always in there but he wasn’t having it and told me to “follow up”. So, I’m just expected to walk into a man’s bathroom and walk in on someone? Really don’t want to see men taking a piss while I’m trying to look at the bathroom. I’m sure the men wouldn’t appreciate being walked in on either. Plus I’m usually scheduled alone even tho I’m brand new (5th week at this job) because the person who was supposed to come in after…
