26/M unemployed musician here. I am currently completing a Masters degree in music and I am currently seeking work so I can move out of my parents' place. I have very recently applied for three positions: As assistant library at a local museum. Archivist at a theological library. Production coordinator for my country's national symphony orchestra. While I am not qualified in Museum Studies, Library Science or Archival work, these positions seem more bearable to me than working a demeaning job at a call centre. My sister recently insisted that I get one of these jobs in order to move out of my home in order to allow my parents to reduce their work hours from full time to part time (both are seniors). I have a friend (who studied fine arts) who works at my university's Education and Social Science library and she says she prefers it over working…
I’m debating on Quitting cause it’s like a spit in the face cause there’s a big gap between helper and lead given that now I have to take over jobs and fill paperwork and if it goes bad it’s on me but I really need the money idk what to do
Hi guys! I am a recent grad working in a small healthcare center. I’ve been working here for about 3 months and I really can’t stand to be there any longer. I really want to quit, probably without notice, but I’m really afraid of the backlash/response. To give you an idea of the kind of environment I’m in: my boss is a bit of an ass (shows up an hour or so late every day, disappears and backs us up, rarely lets us have our 15 min breaks, constantly makes fun of me for wearing a mask, didn’t bother to give me any proper training but gets frustrated when I ask how to do something). Has anyone been in a similar situation and has some advice on how I should quit? Or maybe had a similar experience? For context, I don’t plan to stay in this industry, so I’m not…

just realized I shafted myself
After my last job slashed my hours, I started interviewing. I accepted the first interview/offer… oops. My job is a lot harder than what it deserves to be paid for, with much more responsibility than i was led to belive. and guess what? I pulled up the old Indeed app… I'm paid $14 now. Olive garden is hiring starting at $25. (Before tips) With better benefits. I've only been there a month and I'm already thinking of leaving. I feel bad, but I have to do what's best for me! And that's getting paid a shit ton more, even if I'll be on my feet!
I came into a company a little over a year ago with a mandate to revitalize their e-commerce and and digital marketing completely because the existing marketing department could not do anything digital profitably. I did a great job despite constant resistance from my peers and boss who were all threatened by me and unwilling to accept that there was a new manager on the team. My position was forced on them by top management. There was conflict all the time and everything was an uphill battle. My boss was an emotional basket case who had the whole department completely stressed out to the point of being physically ill. One time I was pushing the department to meet a deadline related to some important changes to our service offering, getting that reflected on our website. My CEO heard I was making a big deal about the website being accurate. The…
I'm always working or doing some chores or errands or something. Any little time I do have I feel like I don't make good use of it because I'm so tired from working. I just feel like life is whipping me around from one obligation to the next on autopilot. Despite all this my financial situation still sucks and my job won't give us raises despite record profits every quarter. What is even the point if there's no time for guiltless hobbies or relaxing? Living in america is horrible I hate this dumb fucking country.
There have been a number of posts where people are complaining (sorry no better word) about no breaks, cut lunches, forced to stay late, harassed by managers, sexual assault, ect. It's astonishing that you people allow these things to happen to you and you don't try to use the resources that are legally at your disposal. I'm victim blaming on this one. Get your shit together.
The united states is the one of the only first world counties that do not federally enforce breaks, lunch, sick pay and PTO. Why has no government, democratic or republican not gone in and fixed that? At the minimum, people should be guaranteed sick pay and at least two 10 minute breaks and a 30 minute lunch for an 8 hour shift.
