All i want is a stable seond job that lets me pick hours, is above minimum wage, and doesn't fucking screw me over with bullshit! Im Neurodivergent. I have a modified highschool diploma. (APD)-I have poor hearing when it comes to understanding speech. I have crippling ptsd. I am quite polite but I struggle with social skills. I can only do basic math. I do art very well but its not selling yet! I cant lift more than 30 lbs. I work tending to birds for my elderly landlady but shes probably not going to stay alive within the next 10-20 years. Anything could happen! I feel a lot of pressure on finding a job I can depend on when I loose my current one. As well as a new house that i can afford in this shit economy for my 4 birds, gecko, and I… I cant even function…
A bit unconventional I apologize but I really need advice. I’m not sure if this is the right platform but I an worried about job security and if I will be fired if I press my discomfort with management. This past weekend I was at a bar and was talking to find out this guy that I was talking to was someone I correspond with frequently. We had a laugh, I told him it was nice to put a face to a name and then went about with my friends without a thought. I woke up Sunday to a facebook message telling me he forgot to ask for my number and gave me his. This is when I find out he is nearly 45 years old. (I am in my early twenties). I don’t answer because I keep work separate. I go into the office to see my very first…
Should I get into the job market? If not, what would I do? Any other answers to the title question also welcome.
So I’ve only been working at this place for 3 days and I absolutely despise it compared to my old job. I’ve already contacted my previous employer and they gave me back my job on the spot. It is a very lax job and fits much better with my lifestyle. Is it okay if I call in and resign on a day that I have to work on and just never go back? Tomorrow I’m supposed to go in at 12 pm for a shift is it okay if I just quit before the shift starts? Also does it have to be a call? Could I send a text or email instead? I feel pretty guilty for the short notice but I just don’t want to have to stay there any longer. Besides my previous employer is having me start pretty soon. Any advice or encouragement is appreciated.

How many of you are in trade unions?
If there's one thing everyone here agrees on, it's the need for class solidarity and better conditions. There are a lot of posts about unionization, which is awesome to see. I joined the local carpenters union in 2019, and many trade unions really are having trouble finding people to work, despite good pay and benefits. In my apprentice class there were 120-some to start, and 43 failed the drug test, which we had a month's notice of. My specific class of 12 was down to 7 after six months. I was in Mill/Cabinet, so 1st year apprentice was $19/hour + health, pension, 401k. Journeymen made about double, total package at over $50/hour. But the thing is, I encountered a lot of racism, anti-union sentiment, and overall hardcore conservatism in the shops I worked at. Nobody in any part of leadership spoke Spanish. They literally could not bring people in fast…
I’m so pissed at this right now . Figure better to rant here , then get drunk and have a massive hangover . I do Doordash , Instacart etc to provide for my children and myself . Tonight , I had someone place an order for a 45 dollar pizza thing from Pizza Hut with a 3 dollar tip on a 5 mile trip . I took it as I’m not picky about that stuff . When I arrived at the guy’s house . It smelled like someone took a shit and let it sit for a year . He answered the door and took the pizzas from me . Then the interaction goes something like this Shit guy : You know a pretty girl like you shouldn’t be working Me : I have kids to provide for sir SG : Then maybe you should get a real job .…
