i just graduated from a very good and expensive university with a philosophy degree, but i’m currently working about 25-30 hours a week delivering grubhub orders. i actually love the job though. i just get to drive around by myself and i make really good money for the amount of work i do (or the lack thereof). people tip really well in my area and i love not having a boss. i also have chronic health issues and it’s nice not having to actually call in and hinder other peoples lives if i need to take the day off. but: my parents keep sending me jobs to apply for. i’ve gotten a few interviews but i keep cancelling them because i simply don’t want a different job. but i feel like i should have more ambition. i feel stupid for not wanting a different job if it’d pay me more…
I have a 9-5 job that takes at least 10 hours of my day. It mostly involves using excel and ppt (which I hate) so I procrastinate anyway. I also have a side hustle which is doing very well. I am currently not earning from it, but if I keep at it for 1 year, i'll be able to make decent money. The thing is I need to give it more time so that it grows, which my demanding 9-5 job is not allowing me to. So, my main constraint is time. How do I divide the time between my side hustle and my corporate job? I am already doing the bare minimum at work and floating through the system. I am afraid I might get a bad rating which would effect my career progression. Should I just go ahead and pray that they don't fire me within this one…
Messed up my monthly pay
I was being interviewed for a job in n the procurement. Director of the department asks how much i want to be paid. I asked way lower than I should and after some months I realised that I am seriously underpaid among others in the office. The stress is to much to bear and the overtimes are happening every single day, plus that I don't have any free time at all. What could I possibly do without losing my job since it is a well-know civil engineering company? Is there any way I can settle down after 7 months in this position? Infos: I have studied Business Administration and i previously had very little experience.
Help! prepping for my EEO meeting
I need to get the emails, texts, voicemails out of my work computer and iPhone in service of my EEO meeting. The emails on an Outlook account and I exported the information based on Google, but it can only be opened in outlook and I can't be sure I can get it. I also have a work iPhone 7 I need to get voicemail, texts off of. I'm not very tech-savvy so if you can point me in the direction of saving this information so if I'm fired I still have it I appreciate it. All accounts holding this information is based off a work email I won't have access to retrieve. My EEO meeting is in September but I was put on a 30 day probation period yesterday because I have a bad “tone”. I've asked if they can articulate what they mean better a I am autistic and…
I'm not very familiar with all the necessary steps required to create a union. I have seen stories of workers attempting to unionize and then getting shut down as management finds out. Would it be possible to use r/antiwork or create a new subreddit where users could provide their employers' name, location, approximate number of employees and whatever other information may be necessary to help organize a union. We could then keep a tracker of the requests. If we get 80 requests from users at an Amazon warehouse in say Chicago that employs approximately 100 people we could then proceed to help them unionize through reddit making it easier on them and hopefully provide better working conditions and salaries to thousands. I'd need some help and guidance but I'd be willing to do a ton of lifting.
Long story short, I was laid off a couple months ago but am still collecting severance for the next few months. I absolutely loved my job that I got laid off from, but unfortunately it happens in my field. I started a new job a few days after the official layoff that I thought I would enjoy, but I ended up hating it. It actually makes me not want to get up in the morning. I’m not too worried about losing pay since I still have my severance, though I will miss the double income. I was so unhappy I actually took the last 2 weeks off with PTO just to relax and decompress. Am I wrong to show up on Monday to collect my things, email out my resignation, leave my equipment at my desk, and bounce? I just don’t want to deal with the questions and guilt tripping.…
