Antiwork

What she doesn't realize is that I took it well because I don't give a shit. I don't care. Oh I'm also on probation I guess? Idk I am already getting interview requests from indeed, and it hasn't even been a full 24 hours.

I was helping a friend of mine with some remodeling work, his dad owned the house. I came in to help demolish and then pull wire for the electrician and do some plumbing. His dad was impressed by how many skills I have and asked what i do for a living. I started talking about my various jobs, starting with my primary gig. He was like “I thought you did this” I was like yeah but I also do, this, this, and this. He got so confused that I do so many unrelated things for money. I’m just like how TF do you think I gained all these skills?

I just want to get a general sense of how people feel about working for the government. Not necessarily in the traditional sense of bureaucracy, but in the public service sense, like the National Park Service. I see a lot of people on here talking about how expensive housing is, how they aren’t getting paid enough, how they don’t have benefits, etc. I also struggled with those issues for SO long when I was working in the hospitality industry.

Just wow It's incredibly painful as a manager to hear this. Not just myself but all of my team members have been contacted by recruiters, some have left for over 50% of a bump. For him to come out and say this is basically a nail in the coffin of anyone currently at the company. We already have huge turnover rates and more than 45% of people have been with the company for less than 1 year. When will these…

I work in a big IT company in my country, and started working there about 3 months ago in HD position, I was hired as an ERP specialist. This month (February) was the end of my internship and start of my actual work Leaving aside the fact I was in the air with half the tools I needed and was in the grace of my other coworkers for most of the tickets I'm getting today was the icing on the cake. I live about two town away which is normal here, but considering I have to rely on a bus that comes every 30 minutes means that I have to “choose” either to be in work in 7:30 am or 8:00 am (the moment work start, which doesn't give me time to boot up all the systems I need to start working with) so of course, I chose getting to…
