Antiwork

I had a great job working from home as a recruiter. I learned fast and loved my job. I have a second job as an adjunct medical instructor. I had forgotten to take attendance so I quickly logged in to the school's portal, posted attendance, and logged back out. Took a total of a minute. My computer was audited. I was fired the next day. Did I do something wrong? Yes. Was it in the handbook? Technically no. Did it matter I was outperforming everyone and was bringing the owner money? Absolutely not. All my coworkers fought for me, they tried to change the owners opinion, but to her I stole company time. 1 minute. Sucks. I understand where she is coming from so I'm not mad, but I am disappointed.

His reaction was priceless. Gawfah meets stupefied. I don’t think he really understood how I could be there “with my elite education.” He asked me if I was still trying to make an illustration career work (which I obviously am) and after a painful conversation about how “the class…

Had 2 interviews at a company only to get rejected in the end. Round trip drive is an hour, each interview about an hour (the interview itself wasn't an hour but I had to sit around and wait for them). Plus I would've been working normally during those times and had to take off, so I lost money there too. It's BS out here
