A very positive experience I wanted to snare

So, today this morning I was about to do a trial shift, 13,5 hours but due to circumstances I had to say I can only stay until 3pm. It was Okey. Other than the kitchen looking like one that Gordon Ramsay would shut down immediately, the place was alright. People were suspicious to begin with, about 3 people on shift kind of close to each other and honest. Well they offered me to make myself breakfast, asked me politely always, very kind. Also I was feeling ill and I spent some time in the toilet. They made jokes but nothing serious or anything to accuse me etc. I've talked with 2 different cook that I'm not feeling well, they made joke about it too like hangover and such but they also offered me Medicine and told me they don't mind if I'm basically work 10 minute's sit 10 minutes. I…

I feel stuck.

I have severe social anxiety and depression. Live with my mom and don't work at the moment. I've been thinking of trying to apply for a few jobs as we aren't doing so well financially. We have one car and my mother uses it to get to her job. I feel super guilty constantly because Im not bringing in any money. I get so scared about jobs because I get super scared speaking to people. I really want to get into therapy but we can't afford it right now either. I feel let down by the world and ashamed of myself for having these issues. I guess I'm just kinda venting and kinda asking for ideas on what to do to find a job. I end up thinking of something online but don't even know where to start. Thanks for listening to my small rant.

I’m putting in my two weeks today

I don’t have another job lined up and I’m scared, but I can’t be at this job anymore. We’re completely overworked but what’s really making me leave is a couple of the guys on my work team. I’m one of two women in my warehouse area and they’re misogynistic assholes because they know they can get away with it. Management is completely ineffective at actually managing the team and our morale is at an all time low. I haven’t had to give notice in years (last job ended due to Covid, so no notice was necessary) and I’ve never had so many grievances toward a job. I’m only serving my two weeks because if I do I get any unused PTO with my last paycheck. Any advice on what to tell my managers would be appreciated.
