Job help?

Hi reddit! I'm still newish to posting but I do want some advice. I am currently working in a healthcare job (like, back office shit, in a lab) and I want to stay to receive the benefits of their education program. But I've only been here for less than 4 months and things are already looking pretty bad (surprise, large corporations!). Very low retention rate, “voluntary” overtime, guilted when leaving after your mandated 9 hours (I clock in earlier to leave earlier), a supervisor who wants to strictly dictate everyone's lunches and breaks, and impossible to meet production per hour rate which most people still can't meet. I am also trusted to do certain tasks that half the people in my dept can't do. This can only lead to every story here where I get fucked massively because I do everything eventually. Also, it is reaggravating my previous job injury,…

Google helps Ukraine…

Google, a company worth 1.7 trillion, offers this much to Ukraine: ​ https://preview.redd.it/xkq9rcwrg8l81.png?width=678&format=png&auto=webp&s=922a5bfaffecda03630e4f715f36c0784739ecf7 $5million, employee matched. A company worth so much gives so little by 'offering' its workers a matching donation.

Workplace culture described as “‘tiger by the tail’ chaotic”

I'm doing interviews for internships (a 5-week internship is required to complete my tech program at school). A lot of internships turn into fulltime positions for students almost immediately, so I've been mindful of where I apply. I interviewed with a place today that is notoriously slow in their communications with incoming employees but tout themselves as an ever-expanding company. I researched the company beforehand to see what kind of work they do and expected them to get into more detail in the interview. They didn't, everything they told me was readable on their website which is already kind of vague. I asked them about their work culture. I've spent the last ten years working in very chaotic and unstructured environments, and I don't want to get involved in another place that is constantly chaotic with no leadership. When I posed this question, one of the people conducting the interview…

Company’s stupid PTO policy

Three weeks ago I turned in my notice after getting a better job offer that pays more and is permanently work from home. I found out after I turned in my notice of resignation that I will not get any sort of PTO payout at the end and once my notice was submitted I was no longer allowed to use any of my accrued PTO. Overall had felt okay about the company I worked for but this just felt like a slap in the face on the way out.

I’m just physically and mentally done

When I say severely ill I mean mentally and physically. I work as a cover guard what means I work multiple different sites throughout the week,and I'm a doormen (what entails it's own problems.) Now,for months I've been on and off with my mental health but it's not been this bad in a while (I do believe it's due to me asking for more hours as I'm wanting to move out of my home city as I've just had enough of city life) but to be honest I've been like this for a while. We have a site we now own security wise in the countryside and I love it due to it being very quiet so I'm able to sort through alot of things mentally and physically down there,but I haven't been down there in a while even when I've asked to be put there permanently,I know why this…

Zoom interviews

Hello, I have an important zoom interview coming up in a few days. I have never done an important interview without shoes on, but I also don't wear shoes in the house. What do most people do during a zoom interview from home, wear shoes or don't wear shoes?
