Antiwork

Hello! All this attention to nurses and teachers quitting to find other work has made me question my field. I am in a supervisory position (middle Management) I work in a niche field of people with ID & MH diagnoses. Our pay rate is determined at a state level. My work has always been fair and just gives us the max and says “you won't get a raise unless the rates increase”. The rates have increased over covid and I saw those raises. (Which was eh TBH) I think my work is very fair in that regard compared to other companies who pay less and then give raises. (But this means there is no difference if you've been here 3 or 10 years, and I've been here 7) However, during covid we have been asked to do many “extra things” to meet cdc guidelines and now we are switching over…

Job searching in Arizona where the highest “wage” I can find is $12.80 is honestly making me want to kms. Even jobs asking for degrees or years of experience still only start at $13.50, what a cruel joke. Cost of living here is the exact same as the northeast, where many jobs are starting to pay $15-17 (still exploitation but not as degrading as $12). I’m not asking to be a millionaire, but a fucking living wage would be nice. Is there another country that isn’t as horrible as the US? I know Norwegian countries are pretty ok but they also make it so hard to immigrate to. Mexico?? As a female will I get assaulted there or something?

I've only really worked like a shift for this company but I'm kinda at the start of a pretty intense burnout and so mentally can't work a job. However I'm also really anxious about sending the resignation email and I don't really know what to say in it or how to word the general needing to quit for mental health reasons. I want to try and keep a positive sort of relationship because they have a summer position I'm interested in. But yeah any tips people have on how I could word this, especially with it being required of being two weeks notice but like I mentally can't work more shifts.

I work for a “publicly owned” healthcare system. In early 2020 the company had to file for bankruptcy, I was told it was due to severe mismanagement. We were bought out by a larger health system and there was an overhaul of the whole executive staff, new CEO, COO, CFO, CNO, the works. I was brought on in late 2020, and 2021 seemed to go well. I saw lots of positive changes. Recently stuff has started hitting the fan again. Our Unit Directors are leaving in droves. 1 left last week, 2 more are leaving in March, another’s last day is set for July. Our CNO just resigned today. My boss has been gone most of the week, I saw her leaving in a hurry this morning after being here maybe 2 hours. I’m starting to get really nervous about my job security. Obviously we are a major health system…
