Life lightly:
I’m not sure if it’s just me lately but is bad that I miss pandemic (not to be inconsiderate I understand that everyone had different experiences some good and some horrible)? I had free time for once, the things that mattered I had time for, I could spend time with my loved ones again and not feel like every waking minute I have to be somewhere, doing something, or even planning todo something. Ever since going back to a job. I’ve been exhausted every single day, I can barely get a good night worth of sleep, trying to get a job had been more stressful than actually having a job, I had my hours cut, can’t even make rent to the point I work 8 hour day then Uber eats after 4 hours to hopefully make ends meet. I’m 25 and I feel burnt out every single day. Im just…
Title says most of it. But I have 10 more weeks with my 9-5 and I have over 80 hours of sick time that I want to use before I leave. What are some creative ways to use all my sick hours before leaving? My manager is pretty cool and will give me the time off I need but what some of the excuses I should say?!
old bosses reaching out
8 months ago I packed up my life and moved 6 States away for a job opportunity. 8 months later what I do is being closed down and I find myself out of a job again. I have had multiple bosses reach out to me and offer my old jobs in Chicago. I always thought that that meant I was good at my job and they wanted me back. I'm beginning to wonder is it because I'm really good at my job, or I put up with all of their b*******? This sub is really started to make me think it might be the latter
I hate company’s/
I hate the fact that companies play with peoples livelihoods so loosely they will randomly cut hours and randomly demote and still expect employees to give their hundred percent. You pay me lower you will receive a lower standard of work. Fuck you.
Corporate non stop profits
We hear that prices are going up because of supply chain issues and limited availability of raw materials. (Not to mention the blame on “labor shortage” discussed many times here). But not only companies are raising prices way more than their raw materials costs have increased, but they are creating the shortage themselves. Another supplier/competitor to my company (chemicals) just announced that they have no intention on supplying more product to the market to satisfy the demand. They just want to make more money. Here’s the quote from the CEO: “I have no problem with us being essentially sold out. (…) Huntsman needs to have (…) better margins, low costs and be able to take a great business and make it even better.” Published in Rubbernews.com, March 7, 2022 You might thing this is about a small chemical component that doesn’t matter. But many other companies are doing the same.…
Hi everyone, the title sounds a little drastic but I'd be intrigued to know if anybody has took a large sabbatical from their work/career to re-haul their life, health, mental health.. the whole lot. I feel like I need a clean start, the corporate world I've found myself in for work is soul sapping. I'm miserable all the time, I don't have any passions, I don't know what I want.. I'm just lost, I feel like an empty vessel just coasting along, feigning happiness where appropriate. And the temptation is there to use my savings to fund a year perhaps of just re-discovery, therapy, exercise, self-improvement and a real assessment of my work/career. Have any of you actually done this, and how did it end up? It's such a daunting thought, obviously it could lead down a steeper decline of misery and frustration. And from a financial perspective it's obviously…
