Dear employer, just because I’m a man does not mean it’s okay to ask me to move heavy furniture to the curb. It’s heavy and I don’t feel like burning those calories. I wear pressed dress shirts and tuck them into khaki pants. The requests are sexist and not within my job description. Thx!!
I work in a high school special education room as a paraprofessional. I just received my “Letter of Intent” from the superintendent's office about whether I want to be re-considered for my position or not. There's an option stating that I'm undecided and would like a conference, however, I'm scared to choose that one. My reasoning behind picking that choice is because of my pay. I make $1155 a month, which after deductions, my bring home is $939. I'm fortunate enough, at the moment, to only have electric and internet that I really have to pay, as well as normal household and pet expenses. But, by next school year I will most likely have rent or a mortgage to pay and it scares me to death because I am a single mother trying to make it on less than slave wages. I feel very stuck between a rock and hard…
There is a yearly local festival coming up next month in the little town I work in. It’s during the weekend. I found out my office props up a tent and hands out stuff to passerby’s at the festival. I really, REALLY do not want to attend this. I know for certain they attend on that Saturday. Not sure if they also attend on that Sunday. Anyway, I work 5 days a week, 8 hours a day. I am salary which means I probably will not even get paid extra for attending. Even if I do, I am not in the mood to drive into town, fight festival traffic, and hand out flyers and hot dogs to strangers all day on my day off. And I HATE festivals anyway. I cannot stand crowds. Unless I am at a concert I try to avoid crowds as much as possible. I wouldn’t…
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?!
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
