We now have to learn to define our lives where work is no longer the center and no longer defines our identity and self-worth. What is your purpose in life now?

I work at a hotel. The job itself is easy, the pay is mediocre at best (doesn’t even cover my rent most months. I make more money delivering food but keep this job because it’s generally easy-going and the owners are awesome. There’s only one employee in the building per shift (because we don’t really need more to answer phones and do check-ins). But the CUSTOMERS are the absolute worst part of the job, without question. This is a busy season where I am especially with traveling volleyball and dance teams. They’ve been in and out for the past month or so and will be for the next few months. In short, they’re mean. Ridiculously mean. I’ve been sitting here getting screamed at, spit on, and degraded every shift. I can’t take it anymore. So my question is this: what happens if I just… walk out during my shift? I…
r/fuckcars is a subreddit dedicated to bringing awareness to how shitty commuting and cars are. They promote things like better public trans, improving infrastructure in more creative ways than “AdD mOrE laNeS To DA hiways,” etc. and they have an awesome plot on r/place It's the r/fuckcars logo with a giant parking lot full of empty cars as the background. they've also built highways congested with cars all over r/place (with permission/alliances with other builders). the whole thing is hugely impressive, to be honest. I figured a lot of people here would like to know about it. They have the best stuff on r/place , imo. they also have a discord channel. there's a link in their subs FAQ. https://preview.redd.it/514ei33dg7r81.png?width=1635&format=png&auto=webp&s=589e06cbdff30935083fea68f91e3d919794d53d
So I had an interview scheduled on Friday. I spent time preparing for it that I could have used for finding other jobs, so I am a bit annoyed. The hiring manager cancelled an hour before saying that the position was fulfilled. It was quite discouraging to have it cancelled an hour before. Is this normal? Or is the company just unprofessional?
I'm working on getting disability and I cannot find anyone who will hire someone for 8 hours a week within a reasonable distance. It's so frustrating because I have things I need to pay for but if I make too much or work too much I have to start this whole 9 month process over again. Not to mention the US doesn't take mental disabilities like Bipolar disorder seriously so chances are I'm going to have to go to court over this. My therapist says that I'm a shoe in after the fact, but I'm so nervous and money troubles are getting to me stress wise. Sorry, just venting, I guess.
I work for a large library system in Canada as a Public Service Assistant (I'm those people behind the front desk who help you find that book about dinosaurs you've been wanting to read). I was working the front desk today when my Supervisor (one tier right below the Branch Head) pulled me into the staff workroom. Supervisor is in charge of making sure all our staffing hours work with each other (no gaps in the staffing schedule, etc.), then Branch Head signs off on it. Supervisor mentioned that Branch Head scheduled me to work extra hours from 12:30 to 8:30 on the 13th. Supervisor: “Did she ask you to work these hours?” Me: “No, she never asked if I could work those hours.” “Are you able to work those hours?” “No, sorry, I won't be able to.” “Oh okay, I will remove where it says you will work extra…
Tipping is horrible for employees in most cases and is generally a stupid and oppressive idea special to the US https://www.eater.com/a/case-against-tipping DoorDash is a particularly aggressive with their tipping using it to subsidize the workers so they can justify not paying them a decent wage, and DoorDash was even caught stealing those tips https://www.classlawgroup.com/doordash-stole-drivers-to-mount-a-30-million-campaign-to-crush-workers-rights/ It's a tough situation they put a user in: – Do I not tip and hope to force DoorDash to pay their employees a livable wage for their work? Downside is that the driver gets shafted in the short term. OR – Do I tip DoorDash's recommended tip so that the driver gets paid a decent amount, but DoorDash is allowed to continue this nasty practice. The dumbest part is your forced to choose the tip before the service is rendered! Zero logic to this scam. And further, they're just gunna batch up my order with…
I work for a well known and lucrative company. A cram school.So I know they have money. But they are constantly using the “corona” excuse not to give employees certain benefits Some examples 1. we have to bring our own soap and toilet paper for the bathroom. The one that in the bathroom is for the clients/students only. 2. No matter the weather we can’t use the heat or air unless a client is in the room 3. No charging your phones but the client have a charging area in the waiting room 4. I have to buy supplies FROM the school. They will no longer provide markers, crayons etc Anyway, a coworker returned back to their home country last month. So I’ve been working overtime teaching extra classes. Today my boss said that she appreciated my hard work and asked if I could work two hours more a day…
I work at a trader joes where I was first hired at $13, had to fight to get $15. And now people are starting at $16. I'm training people who make a dollar more than me. My boyfriend has been working here a year longer than ME and he makes less than I do. The veterans here are also severely underpaid as well. I want to talk to my managers but I don't know where to start. I need some key words/anything that would help fluff my conversation. This is fucking serious and I want to be the change for this company. When chicago made the minimum wage $15, shouldn't those veterans have been compensated/ had a wage change as well since they were fired at probably 8 dollars an hour? Anyway, anything will help, let's change this bullshit together. Thanks!
