I'm 27. I work 6 Days a week 10 hours a day with a 1 hour 30 minute drive to and from work. That's 5am-7pm I don't even know why I'm doing it anymore, I am not happy. I've stopped all of my hobbies and get home only with enough time to shower, eat and get ready for bed. I'm lucky enough to be married to a beautiful woman who loves me, but what is the point when all of my time is consumed by work? What should I do? What can I do? I am not living life anymore. This is something else.
I started a new position in Georgia and was a bit taken back by my new director outright telling me she doesn't like masks on her office. I don't particularly like wearing masks, but I do have what I “think” are allergies so I am wearing an N95 to the office until I can be sure. She further said that she wants to see people's facial reaction and she can't tell what they are if everyone is wearing a mask.she further said that masks don't help with Covid and if you are vaccinated you shouldn't have anything to worry about. I told her that I had some allergy symptoms and would rather just keep my mask on around people. She looked annoyed but said fine, but she definitely wants to see my face when I figure it out. I felt irritated because I thought it should still be a choice,…
My employer sent all the women in the company a gift box for women’s day. I hesitated to be critical at first, but fuck that. Women are expected to be gracious all the time and I am tired of it. The box contained some trail mix, a white-noise maker, a tumbler, a notebook, a sleeping mask, and a book on famous women. Questions/comments: – Did they include trans women? – I’d rather have the cash. – Feels performative—many women are taking the bait and posting it on social media (hashtag grateful, lol) – I’d rather they sent to book to the men—I know how awesome women are. – Is the notebook for my kill list? – Why is the only food item made up of … nuts? – I’d rather have equal pay and day off. Especially for my women colleagues in India. (I’m in the US). – All of…
For almost a year, my boss has been constantly letting me know how lucky I am that I have a job at this company. He would have me do tasks way outside of my job description (and comfort zone), tell me to work overtime off the clock, ignore every suggestion I've made, micromanage everything I do, and undermine me at every step. I currently get anxiety attacks every time I see his name on my phone because there's a good chance he's about to yell at me about something that's his fault. I asked them to change the work environment and treat me with respect. He told me “no”. He reemphasized that I should be grateful for this role, I need to try harder, and I won't find a job elsewhere. I just proved him wrong. I've been secretely applying and interviewing for the past 5 weeks and have received…
The tittle says it all. I've trying to find a job for several years and so far no luck The interviewer always ask the same stupid questions; “do you have experience?” “What's your greatest achievement?” “How would you solve this issue?” For the life of me, I've been rejected so many times I may as well call jobless an actual job. Morons believe I can walk through those doors saying I have ten, eight, six or even two years of experience. They don't know what's really like being 29 and never having found a job ONCE! not even burger king would take me because “you don't meet our standards” Mother of God I am ranting because I can't study, can't get a job and worst of all I'm a sack of slap stick comedy, in the form of lacking interesting qualities. I guess what I'm trying to say is, I'm…
Hi there For 8 years I have worked in the same company and since 2 years the boss changed. I hate his way of talking, doing and approaching us employees. For this reason I feel not growing and not enjoying my job (that is actually my passion). I had yesterday a beautiful job interview and they basically told me I can get a full time contract. But why am I scared of quitting? Where I am now I have a lot of work, this is good, but something in my belly tells me that I need to change. Is it maybe because I am soon becoming dad and I am too scared of loosing something that is safe?
