Antiwork

I had a tragedy occur in my family Wednesday. The 7 month old baby of a close family member suffocated in his sleep. I notified my boss of what was going on and she said she'd touch base with me on Sunday. Sunday rolls around and she hadn't contacted me, so I tagged her in the work chat, telling her the date of the funeral. Today I get my schedule for this week and she scheduled me to work during the funeral, I addressed her in a private text and asked if it was an oversight and it very clearly wasn't. She started claiming I never got back to her on it and that she assumed on heresay (the information was incredibly misconstrued) that I'd be fine to work that evening. But instead of owning up, she wants me to switch shifts with someone, meaning I now have to work…

I (20F) just quit my minimum wage job I'd been at a month. It was taking a huge toll on my mental and physical health and so I quit effective immediately. I still stay with my parents who expect me to pay rent money and they keep telling me I won't get another job and I will end up homeless and it has caused countless arguments. I am scared for the future but feel better after taking that step!

I get told by employers ”hey no one is perfect. We all make mistakes.” But it is starting to feel like that counts for everyone but me. I try SO hard to make sure all my t’s are crossed and i’s are dotted. I try not to ask for coworker’s help unless I absolutely have to because I know they’re busy too. Even though I am an introvert I try to make sure I am being approachable and keep things balanced. I may not want to be involved in random office chit chat, I may keep to myself most of the day. But I am sure to smile and say “good morning” to everyone and “enjoy your evening, drive safe” in the evening when everyone goes home. I am friendly with customers and have even been told I am good with people on the phone. I am careful to not…

Out of curiosity, what are the red flags you have experienced during an interview/interview process? I’m going through an interview phase coming out of school and I just want to make sure I’m taking note of these things!

There was a particularly messy close at the bar kitchen I work at, it was such a busy night and we were all dead from the night and closed as best we could. One of my coworkers clocked out early before we closed which I thought was premature but considering the day we had I didn't care I let him go, I'm not his higher up and I didn't mind staying back to sweep and what not. There had been a crawfish boil that day before our shift, we were told to move the equipment for the boil inside before close which we had done. The remaining crawfish my coworker said he would take home for his family, he filled three boxes of the stuff to take home which I figured was all of it. I'm allergic to crawfish and the sheer smell makes me almost vomit so I didn't…

I honestly have never been this depressed before and it is killing me. Litterally.

I went across the street to an Aldi's where the cashier was sitting while working, and it seemed the other employees weren't being driven like at other places. I just want to know if there is anything about it I don't know about, like they are run by vampires or something, before I go saying they're so great.
