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.…

Got egged heading to work, told I should’ve been prepared

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…

Haven’t had my first job, already dreading applications

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.

how to be a drain on resources

Hey guys, so I've recently started a WFH call centre job, and after 3 weeks of utterly useless training and a week on calls (in which I've already took a day off for “WIFI issues”) I've received my first pay check. Its nice, more than I've ever earned before, but for what I'm doing and how little I'm prepared, coupled with the stress and anxiety of customers calling non-stop 8 hours a day, I don't plan on staying. I'm actually praying they let me go, so I can pursue other jobs and in that job hunt period have some time to my self. But while I've got this golden cash cow of an opportunity I may aswell empty their coffers. So for another month (as that should cover my half of bills for around 3 months) I'm looking to absolutely be a complete drain on resources, because at the end…

Quitting Job

Basically, I worked at Sam’s Club as a Cart Pusher for about 2-3 weeks, realized the job is really shit because they expect us to haul ass in really hot/cold Nevada weather, made me open by myself on a Saturday, over expects quite a lot. But I quit the job, didn’t put in the 2 weeks, got my very last paycheck but then they took it back. Pops up as reversal on my bank account. Can they actually do that? Or should I go there and ask why they did it?

Toxic Boss.

Do you also deal with a Toxic Boss and if so how do you deal with it?. When i first started working here i was happy and had no problem with my boss whatsoever. But since time have gone by he has become more toxic to a point which is unacceptable. He is constantly upset where you can almost tell it when he is so i try to avoid talking when i see it. And i feel like im always afraid of doing a misstake which dosen't happen very often but it happens sometimes. I mean im not a robot im a human and we all do misstakes from time to time especially when you are working in a fast pace misstake can occur. I know its bad to do but if we do one small misstake we know he will go up the roof and yell at us and…
