I’m ready to quit after only working at an AH for almost 3 months

When I first started this job was actually fun to come to. Then I started to see the quick turnover rate. And management kind of helping less and caring less. There is no work life balance. A few of the employees constantly message each other through the app that we use to communicate to other team members and I have to put my phone on silent just so I don't get PTSD from hearing my phone go off every 5 seconds. I've never been so stressed in these past couple weeks due to being short staffed and just the crappy attitudes of our staff and being basically promoted to a new position that I have no idea what I'm doing and expect it to know what I'm doing within less than a month just completely over it …I'm more exhausted sitting in front of a computer then doing physical work…

How can a modern corporation be evil? Knowing what we know about human behavior, how can they not be?

Yale University professor Stanley Milgram’s famous shock experiments from the early 1960s on the nature of evil revealed that every day people can be pressured to doing evil. Professor Milgram experiment and the disturbing results have been examined repeatedly and most interpretations over the decades have focused on subjects’ unquestioning adherence to an authority’s commands. The idea that ‘it is not my decision, I am just doing my job’ allowed a lot of people to go all the way through the experiment believing they were causing great pain to others, simply because someone told them they it was required. Corporations are the very embodiment of this social structure. Those who are doing the cutting of benefits for workers, laying off staff, providing a product that is less than it is advertised are doing so at the command of the share holders, who demand they take these actions. The prospect of…

Supervisor said the person in charge didn’t tell me I could go home, but they did tell me that. But I have texts as proof (but not proof of the person duty telling me I could leave).

I had this weird sensation that I’ve never quite experienced before. I took my pills that I took everyday, and the INSTANT I swallowed them, I had a slight almost/weak cough/sneeze feeling, and I started feeling head pain. What’s so strange is that it felt like my entire brain was being stabbed by a ton of needles, best way I can describe it. It was unbearable and I’ve never quite experienced that, the kind of pain that feels way beyond what you can even imagine, you just want it to end but you can’t stop it, you’re forced to endure it. I kept hiccuping, and felt extremely nauseous on the way there, and for some reason, extra aggravated/irritated, and even felt like drinking water would make my stomach feel worse. I was also strangely sweating really bad. I worked for a bit over an hour feeling like this, also kept…

Tired and sick

I’ve been working full time since I was sixteen years old. I got married and bought a house. Hubby and I busted our asses in the early years to make a living. No college education but we sure had heart and a strong work ethic (as it was called.) Hubby got sick. He couldn’t work and even though I tried we lost everything. Got foreclosed on and had to start completely over with one income. I changed careers. Started off in a entry level position making about $12.50 an hour with a possible monthly bonus. With my background I performed extremely well and got promoted. Hubby was approved for Social Security Disability. I wanted to go further so I started college at a for-profit university. It was so fantastic, learning with these smart minds even if I was decades older than my peers. I did well and moved up quickly…

I’m done.

I've been having health problems but I can't just stop working. My boss got mad because she changed the schedule and i was supposed to work today but she didn't tell me and now I have to work an extra long shift tomorrow. Even with this job I can't afford my bills. (No insurance, either.) Customers are fucking bitches and I wish I could tell them off. That's it! I've been an artist for a very long time! I'm drawing furry fetish porn! If kidmo can make 32k a month on patreon I can make that much a year (which would be fucking raise, by almost double!) My boss is on vacation so I work every day this week, but after that when i have a little rest… hoo boy… I'm drawing a shit ton of porn to build my portfolio, getting some commissions, and then making a patreon and…

My boss doesn’t let us nap during out break

We work during night time 12 hour shifts in a super busy warehouse which requires heavy lifting constantly. During our breaks we like to nap 20 minutes out of the 1 hour of our breaks. My manager came to the break room and woke us up saying that we need to be alert at all times. On our own break….

Not surprising, but IBM got caught in age discrimination with their mass layoff a few years ago

It’s called “competitive pay” because with that wage paying the rent competes with buying food.

It's never a decent wage.
