Antiwork

Has anyone else's mental health plummeted going back into the office?

This will be long so I apologize in advance. Last winter I was working 2 hours away from home renting a second apartment because it was the only job I could find at the time. 3 months ago a company offered me a position in the city I originally lived in and more money. So I took it no brainer right. Went back to paying rent in once place made more money everything was fine for a month and a half. Then my foreman says he’s taking a vacation the first week of April and because it’s just him and I in that town I will have to travel an hour away for a week. Sucks but nbd it’s only a week.

i’m (19F) working at a cafe/restaurant (the same one i worked at last summer) just to make some money before i have to start doing internships for what i’m studying at school. i told the managers i would be coming on part time for the summer. one of them even asked me last week if it was okay to schedule me for 25-30 hours a week. i said yes because i think that is a solid amount and enough to make money but not too much where i don’t have a life outside of work. they posted my schedule for this week and i’m scheduled 40 hours, 9-5 wednesday through sunday. 40 hours is basically a full work week. i know i would be making more money, but i also have a decent amount saved from last summer and those are not part time hours. the in between shift times…

I’m glad they approved my accommodation but I feel like a big baby now.
