Next Sunday is Workers Day

For workers day, I feel like everybody should leave work en masse. It’s time for those cheapskate employers to show them that we are human and we deserve more.

Leaving a job at end of July – how to survive next 3 months?

The environment is toxic, cliquey and I am regularly overworked so it's not sustainable for me anymore. I've come to terms with me just needing to GTFO before I have a breakdown. I'm so burnt out and have no passion for the role anymore. The job's at a school and less messy if I quit at the end of the academic year which is 3 months away. What can I do in the meantime to keep hanging in there? I was thinking to meditate daily and save as much as possible. But I currently spend a huge chunk of my time outside of work consumed by the role. I drafted my resignation letter and it was so liberating. It's the only things that's given me hope at the minute as at least I know there's an end to a terrible experience.

This is the best option for revenge for the worst employers…

Now, only do this if someone has really wronged you as it can become pretty unbearable.. I stumbled across this, by accidentally getting caught out by this scam a while ago. The thing is once you submit a phone number(mobile only) they will continue to ring someone 30+ times a days, which will slowly decline over 3 months at all hours. All you need is someone's name, email and most importantly mobile phone number, with the area code. I'd highly recommend using a VPN service for this as a just in case… This site is a complete scam, looks legit and has been operating for a few years, but is very useful in pissing people off, whilst they will have no idea about who's done this to them… https://yuan-paygroup.com/ Good luck

Should I Sue….honestly

I'll do my best to shorten this because I unfortunately have pages and pages of examples in my phone notes that would read far too long. Let me tell you briefly that I am not someone to accuse of sexual Harrasment and abuse over something let's say sort of typical that may unfortunately be common in the work place. Here are just a few things my boss has said/ done to me. Told me ” I feel like hitting you but I know that's wrong” Say ” picture (Bob) bending you over and raping you, that's what you just did to me” when I reminded him of a call 5 mins before the start time and I also asked 2 other times between 3 and one days out if he wanted this meeting and he ignored the ask so I scheduled it and told him so several times because he's…

Dehumanizing

How much longer do I have to suck up to people that are no better than me until I can have a livable wage? I see myself as less of a human everyday for what I have to put up with just to have somewhere to stay at night.. I’m so lost.

I don’t want to be a manager.

Update: Next week’s schedule has been made and no manager shifts have been snuck in (yet). Temporary relief. I’ve never managed anything before. I’m just a host at a restaurant. And while I appreciate the confidence my boss has on me, it’s misplaced. I had a full-on panic attack after two phone calls when I was still training at a call center earlier this year. My boss is a good man and I’ve known him for years. I have a lot of respect for him, and he’s leaving the job in a month. He and the owner (whom I barely speak to and doesn’t even know my name) are pushing really hard for me to be his replacement. To the point that I’m worried he’s going to schedule me a training shift anyway, despite my repeated and consistent attempts to tell him that I don’t want the job and that…

No amount of bonuses can pay-off this but I think saying a ‘Thank You’ will go a long way.

Why does it seem customer service and white collar managers are so bad at managing?

I'm sure there are manager in the trades that are the same way, but I haven't run in to one yet. If I have to take a day off, or I'm sick, it's just an “okay, see you when you're back”. I always see managers from things like fast food, grocery stores and such telling people they need to find someone to cover. You know what they do where I've worked? The managers rearrange the work and people to cover what needs to get done. Absolutely bamboozles me that the managers for these other jobs get away with doing that.
