Antiwork

Got fired for the first time today, at almost 36 years old from my job of 11.5 years. My boss did me A FAVOR. I had been planning an escape in the near future, she just jump-started my planning process. Goodbye toxicity, walking on egg shells, hating it every day, stinky clientele I couldn't even take a vacation day without her calling me with a question. I hope she's having a fabulous time without me ️

So where I live, Ministry of Labor have this service where you can submit a complaint against your employer for a myriad of reasons (payment, abuse ..etc) Anyway, I quit my job and served my 1 month notice period, and I'm due my salary and certificate of experience from them, but they keep delaying it with weak excuses that they are busy to do it, even though it doesn't take 5 minutes to whip out one. Like the title, I submitted an official complaint and an inspector will handle the situation.

My main and primary job is very demanding but there are sometimes breaks where we are still expected to do work from home. It’s a considered a “mid-career” job so it’s demanding and the pay is terrible. Today was one of the rare “work from home” days. So naturally I looked to pick up a shift at my second job. My second job pays more. Hour for hour, maybe 6 or 7 times more (but job 1 is not really per hour). But I am subject to finding available shifts to pick up. It is 100% in person. If I wanted more out of this job, I would have to leave my mid-career job (which is shitty now but has a much better outlook). Today, they had a shift available. I picked it up. It’s been a slow shift so I was able to dedicate sometime to my 3rd job…
