Antiwork

So I’ve worked in the company for a while and I worked at a different branch life was good there never had any issues. But at this other branch left right centre there’s an issue I’m so confused. Sometimes I think I can be a bit blunt but I’ve never had issues to this extent. So last week at work I was looking for something and this other lady who’s not a manager just likes to do their work for them asked me what I was looking for….I said “it doesn’t matter” because I could not find it. Then she asked me again I said “nothing” then she asked again….I repeated and said nothing. The issue here is she’s a bit extreme and people have quit because of this person because she’s very condescending and low-key she scares me so I’d rather die than ask her for anything lol. She…

Now they are complaining that they thought I could do a better job:-) Little more details: Had to change jobs for health reasons and decided to take a temporary, low-stress job My health got better, company discovered that I was way better than they had assumed from the interview (I was struggling with anxiety and burnout during that time, so yeah) Soon got more responsibilities and I went a bit above and beyond Requested a raise to reflect the quality of my work Was told, that the payment is tight to my role and that my Role and that I might be overqualified for the Role I told them: Fine. But this role doesn't include X and Y and I don't want to hear complaints if I don't deliver X and Y (X and Y are basically all senior tasks and more stressful stuff with higher responsibility). They agreed So…

Every day I wake up and come to work, I try and see how much longer I have to work. How many years before I can retire. Every. Day! I like to work. I am decent at my job and I have a good career. I am working the top position in my company and my company is very good with good owner who is kind to us (even though I don't make enough as other companies, it's still good and I am satisfied). But my God I am done. I literally just want to sleep. Last week I took a 5 days vacation after 2 years and when I realized that half of my vacation was over, I almost wanted to cry. Like I said, I am the top earner in the company and they're good company with low stress which is what I want in my company. I…

I did for the first time today. It was for a restaurant. When I got in, an employee walked me over to the hiring manager, a lady who was having some kind of meeting with another manager. I introduced myself and extended my hand, but she made a “shoo” motion with her hand and said, “Have a seat over there. I'll be over there in a minute.” First of all, don't shoo me. I'm not a housefly. Second of all, don't treat me like a bother when you're trying to get me to work for you. But I obliged and took a seat in the dining room. She walked up to the table and I got out of my seat to introduce myself again and offer another handshake. This lady walked by me and said me, “I'll be right back,” without even mentioning her name or anything. I don't know…

Hey everybody I wrote this and thought it belonged here. TLDR: Just scroll to the last paragraph and you'll miss my rant. So next year I turn thirty and I have been thinking a lot about the past and the future. I remember 9/11 and how everything changed after that. I remember 2008 when the bankers broke the system, though I don’t remember anyone going to jail for that one though. I remember my generation’s war, a war we were told was important. I remember ‘two weeks to slow the curve’ and the panic that ensued afterwards. I remember masks, uncertainty, isolation, and shortages. I remember the good years and the bad, the years of plenty and the years of want. Now what I see is their Great Reset. I don’t see what’s so great about it. They say all of us will “own nothing and be happy”. Well, they…

I am just curious if you all were looking for work how much more would you have to be offered to accept a new job? Good benefits are a thing but most employers don't provide information on benefits before you accept a job offer. I am currently looking at a job that only pays 1$ an hour more than I currently make though is much closer to where I live, current job is known for having really good benefits though.
