i'm 20 and hate my job already. it's not the worst, but for various reasons, i'm unhappy. it's my first job and i've had a difficult time adjusting to the work environment. it's starting to affect my performance. i work at a library and don't see the point in most things i do. nobody cares about book displays or this or that. people don't show up for our events much anymore – we often have events that no one ends up attending. what's the point when no one cares? besides, i work to live, not live to work. my supervisor talks to me the way she talks to her 9-year-old son. some of us are “afraid” of messing up because she'll use that tone even with coworkers around her age. i had my six month evaluation and the verdict was “work harder – or you're gone in 60-90 days”. one…

Hello there. First time posting, been lurking for awhile now. I’ll keep it short and simple. I am 35 y/o (M) and have bounced around jobs for what feels like forever. Just recently started a non cdl driving job for a large grocery chain. It’s an overnight job but the pay and benefits are ok. I have done everything for this company since starting, work random schedules mon-sun, take on double routes when there’s not enough drivers, take extra stops, have even done all the routes and been to all the stores. Now corporate is changing things up this month and they are calling my position a “floater”, which means on stand by or on call mon-sun. I am hired on full time, show up for every shift, stay all 8 hours, even stay late sometimes. But now I’m getting bumped off routes for temp drivers. The management favors drivers…

I really ask this as a serious question. Have there been any organizations or movements involving large protests over a return to the office? Given how much the past two years have changed everyone’s lives, I can’t imagine millions of people going back to long and expensive commutes, spending less time with kids and family, wasting away under that lousy office lighting, having to use the bathroom next to someone else, the endless flow of office interruptions….not to mention the needless toll on the environment with cars clogging up highways or the cost of gas right now and probably for the foreseeable future. This seems like such a pivotal moment in terms of the way we work and live, there must be some kind of legitimate movement out there, no? If employees across the country decided to all walk out of their offices at the same time on the same…

We all should make 25 an hour minimum and get everything benefit wise free, they should start us with 100k in a 401 k so we can retire by 45 and enjoy life. Screw employers that put in the “hard work” and pay us. Now!

I (20F) have been a car salesman for the past two years and I hate it. I feel sleazy and like I am doing more of a disservice to my customers by selling them heavily overpriced vehicles. Car shortages have only made this worse. I have worked hard to get where I am now with my company, this is a smaller family-run business that does take my opinion into account. I currently work about 32 hours a week and I have hourly pay with commission on top. Due to mental strain, it was lowered from the original 45-50 hours a week with a small salary and commission. I made about $65k last year and for someone without a college degree that's pretty substantial. I grew up with my parents living paycheck to paycheck for the most part and so I am very money-oriented and I like to plan for the…
