Hi everyone, I… Really need help. I started working as a reconciliation specialist with a small mortgaging company around 1 year ago, and the urge to quit has been overwhelming me for almost 6 months now. I'm getting paid dirt compared to my coworkers because I'm younger, and the workload is intense. Especially since in the year I've been here, I've seen about 5-7 people leave/quit our department. Recently, they sold off the majority of my department to a larger corporation, and they're planning on leaving me behind with the original company to keep up with the loans they couldn't sell. I'm terrified that they're going to keep piling more and more work on me, even though my current boss keeps saying it will be easier on me since “there's only going to be about 16,000″ loans left behind”. This job is genuinely making me want to die and I've…
The bathroom’s at the company I work for has moving detectors for the lights and enclosed stalls. The detectors are only outside of the stalls which means that if you take longer than 5 minutes seated on the toilet, the lights are going to go off and there’s NOTHING you can do about it but finish your business in the dark. There aren’t any windows either so it’s PITCH dark. My “low-in-fiber, dehydrated, takes me at least 20min to poop” body is hating this. Thank you to whomever added flashlights to phones. Greetings from this tomb
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/fort-mcmurray-bus-driver-shortage-program-sparksman-transportation-1.6401980 The news says nothing that bus drivers make 34/hour in Fort McMurray. There would be no shortage of bus drivers if they paid a higher wage then 12-14/hour.
I called off today for no reason
It felt really good too. No reason in particular. Well maybe… I get paid $12 an hour to build and lift extremely heavy furniture at HomeGoods. We have this thing called “team lift” where u can call someone to help if it's too heavy. Problem is, hours are cut so bad and we are all spread so thin that u are looked at as an asshole or am nuisance if u use it other than the most extreme circumstances. It's weird because it's not just by management but other male employees will judge u or make a dig or pull some macho bullshit comment. On top of that I have to deal with entitled customers and a management team that cracks the whip CONSTANTLY without lifting so much as a finger to help. One person unloading a 1500 to 1800 piece semi into an already overcrowded and understaffed back room.…
Bob makes $20 million a year
I don't have a car, so I walk to work (roughly 30-40min walk) today while I was standing waiting for a crosswalk a car pulled up and a group of kids threw about a dozen eggs at me and took off. Freak prank, kids will be kids, annoying but not the biggest of deals for me, plus id rather it be me than like a homeless person. Fortunately I was wearing a puffy jacket so very few eggs exploded on impact, they mostly blew up around my feet, from about knee down I had egg all over me. I I was about 10min from work, I don't see any customers and just sit at a desk so I figured I'd go in try wet paper towel what I could and just be kinda ew for one day, vs walk back home change, then leave again and be late. After about…
I’m a 19 year old business student and know that experience is very important because I have to interact with a lot of people. I’m likely not going to be hired strictly based on GPA and formal achievements. However, I’m also open to other jobs not related to my top interests as long as the pay is good and I know it won’t be a significant burden. Unless conditions improve, I literally won’t feel interested in a job. Maybe that’s just me, though I really need to find employment.
