Antiwork

I just needed to vent somewhere. WTF!!!

It’s legal where I live. The job I was just offered is a desk job. Why do I have to take a drug test for pot? Why can I not partake in my free time like I, and so many others, do with alcohol? This is a good job and I need it. But I might lose it because I smoke weed that I legally bought. This is so stupid. Edit: this was more rhetorical than anything else. The US and employers have too much control over people’s free time. Yes, my employer can revoke the offer if I fail or really for any reason they want. I just think it’s incredibly stupid.

I’m at a small law firm where it’s only my boss, myself and a legal assistant. I’m a young professional starting off my career, and for the first little while, my boss was very attentive to my needs/desire to learn. However, she’s always come to the office sparingly and works remotely otherwise, and since finding out she’ll be going on mat leave later this year, I realize it’s only going to be my colleague and I trying to keep the business afloat for those 3-4 months. As it is, I lack the guidance/mentorship to be able to feel like I’m thriving, and the experience is WAY more important to me than the money. Having said that, I feel like if I’m not going to be learning much and if I will be stressing for her in her absence, I would rather find my exit, whether it’s during her absence or…
