Graduation Day

I started a new job 11/2021 that required me to get a specific license. This consisted of 2 weeks of studying and a 3 day virtual class of teaching the material. In order to keep the position I had to pass the test. It was a stressful process but me and 20 other employees passed. The next day we immediately went into learning our role. So from 12/2021 until the end of January we’d be on zoom for 8 hours a day discussing policies and procedures. Fast forward to February we start the job with a lot of help and support. All of this is leading up to us “graduating” from training which means we won’t have the help and support moving forward. So today was graduation day and there was a brief PowerPoint of pictures we submitted and inspirational quotes. We got 45 minutes off the job to attend…

An employer’s failure to plan is not your fault. Before hiring someone, or when onboarding a new hire, they need to oversee appropriate workflows.

I’ve seen it too many times- Hiring Managers or Business Owners turning a blind eye towards who is going to take responsibility for ensuring projects run smoothly.

The U.S. as a Systopia

It would be a good idea to go on different business’ subreddits and bring up the topic of unions.

Think of a business; perhaps one you used to work for. Go to their subreddit and make a topic about unions. Bring up the fact that it's federally illegal to punish/fire you for unionizing or just talking about unionizing. Talk about how even if it's company policy to not talk about unionizing, it's still illegal. Discuss strategies to prevent retaliation. Discuss what to do in case of retaliation or imminent retaliation. People everywhere are still woefully uninformed about their right. This is an opportunity to accelerate the movement.

Life is depressing.

I love my job as a school bus driver but I’m constantly living paycheck to paycheck. I hate going to the doctor because my issues are never treated so it’s a waste of money. Every time I feel like I’m starting to get ahead a set back puts me back in the never ending hole of debt. I have many other issues w life rn but the biggest one is feeling insignificant to anyone and everyone around. I just feel like I’m at my breaking point n no one seems to care because everyone is on the same level.

Post Office Nightmare.

I just started at the local post office and it is a hell beyond comprehension. Yesterday me and my co worker were out in 30 below zero windchill weather shoveling snow for an hour and a half. I went home, cranked up the heat in my place. It took two hours of huddling under three blankets to warm up and stop shivering, I think I may have had hypothermia. My supervisor then proceeded to call me THREE TIMES that same day after I got home about an issue he could have easily solved himself. He also texted me multiple times. Today I literally had three people come at me at the same time about the same issue. I was completely overwhelmed. I don't know how much more of this I can take. I walked out with my supervisor shouting the same question at me over and over. I just ignored…

I think I caused the newest email at work to be sent out and I’m pissed

I’m sorry this is long and if this is the wrong place for this please go ahead and delete. It get like it fit here because I thought I was working for a good company but now I’m seeing flaws and not sure what to do. So I work for a tax and consulting company that specializes in independent contractors. I’m in the consulting department. Most days I love my job but days like today make my job frustrating and I honestly sometimes just want to walk out. I answered a queue call today (23rd) and spoke to a client who was just checking to see where his taxes were in the process as he’s trying to get a house and they’ve (his lender) been calling him to find out an ETA on when they’ll be done. So I pull up his account see that it’s been sitting in a…

I feel like I was set up to fail

Growing up I took for granted that I was supposed to move out after high school and go to a 4-year college. I didn’t matter if I didn’t have a clear picture of what I wanted to do with my life, I was just supposed to graduate high school and go to college. Community college? No, you won’t get out of your hometown that way. Work for a bit and then choose? No, you won’t get anywhere in life doing that. Trade schools? Nope. That’s not a way to make a living. So I moved across the state to go to a 4-year state school. I got a lot of grants but I also had to take out loans because the college fund my parents told me to rely on instead of getting a job to set up didn’t actually exist. It’s so easy just to take federal loans. I…
