I work in state government. We already get paid less than any other state workers in the U.S. We were told for months that we were going to get a pay raise from the governor of our state. We followed the news hoping we would get the raise soon because most of us are struggling. Well, the day finally came. We just got a memo saying that they value us but they need to check our budget first. No raise, no bonus, no explanation why. Christ, I want to quit this job so bad.
Started a new job 3 months ago, and pretty much knew right away that it was a bad fit, both for me and the company. I tried to stick with it because it will look good on my resume and hopefully help with future job prospects, but then I found out I was pregnant. Between the morning sickness (in reality all day sickness) and inflation the $20 an hour, next to no benefits, and me being absolutely miserable at the job I wonder if it's really worth sticking it out. However, I'm worried that between a growing family, rising costs, and the possibility of student loan payments coming back that I would be making a huge mistake leaving without having something else lined up. Plus who's going to want to hire a pregnant woman who's just going to have to be out in 7 months. Note: I'm not the breadwinner,…
Like the title says, I was fired. I’ve been out of work since January for an eye surgery. I’ll explain the surgery more at the end. Clearly this is not a normal time frame for eye surgery as I’ve had some complications. I got a letter in the mail letting me know my leave was not covered FMLA and my position was no longer needed. I won’t be getting anymore disability checks, I can’t file for unemployment, and I’m still paying on the surgery. I’m currently not able to work because of my vision. Way to kick a person down who has been loyal for 15 years. I was actually ok yesterday since I was fueled by anger. I guess today is the depression stage. TLDR- eyes bad. Mono vision is crap and my brain can’t figure it out. Now the long part about my eye surgery. My eyes are…
Every time my husband has a doctor's appointment during work hours and I offer to go, he apologizes and says he hopes I won't get in trouble. Bitch, please. Yesterday I left an hour early to get groceries. Who fucking cares? My work gets done. That's what matters. Once, just once, they tried to give me shit for using my phone too much and I basically said, you have an issue with my quality of work, we can talk. Otherwise lay off. Probably some managers would have fired me for that. I probably got lucky it worked. I just can't care anymore. I'm not a child under adult supervision. I refuse to be scolded like one.
