Antiwork

I'll put a TL;DR at the end of this. Just need some insight because it's stressing me out. Back story: I got referred to a corporate job by a relative, saying it's work within the field I studied in. Gave me their friend's email and asked me to send a resume over. I'm not actively job searching at the moment but said okay, why not. —– Company's a 2hr travel each way to and from where I live, so I was already iffy about that. Either a looong commute or I'd have to relocate which isn't ideal. My current job is literally around the corner. But under pressure from my relative constantly going “Just try it!” I've been trying to see if it's worth it I email my resume and the conversation with the friend moves to text/call. He tells me more about the company but also tells me half-jokingly…

I loved my ex-job for the first six months when I had formal training. They added on an entire account management position on top of my purchasing manager duties a year in with ZERO extra pay, benefits, or acknowledgement. My performance for the past year and a half meant zilch when the CEO who drives a different sports car to work each day of the week was looking for someone to blame lower sales on after half his original team quit and he refused to provide me any real account management training besides a 1 hour Fred Pryor conference. I used to pride myself on my loyalty and now I am so bitter to know how foolish that is. I memorized hundreds of item numbers to ease the account advocate duties. I adapted to double my workload within a month on a system that hasn’t been updated since 1997 (cheapskate…

I attempted to leave a review on Indeed, but was told it was rejected. Has anyone else run into this problem? I thought about glassdoor but the bad reviews seem to be hidden and most of the time you need an account. My next step is google review but then I’d have to make a fake account.. anyways just wanted to vent fuck these corporations that want you to be a robot!

My favorite thing is filling out an online application (which is just “copy paste my entire resume again despite them asking me to upload my resume”) and then hitting submit just to watch it go ErROr. FaiLeD tO sUmBit. PlEasE tRy AgAiN lAtEr. And then everyone and their mother requires you to apply online. Nothing quite fills me with such a violent urge.

I'm going to quit my current job without having anything new. It stresses me out, but still makes me happy. It stresses me out because I don't know what I want to do. My current job makes me unhappy, but when I read all the job descriptions, there is not a single job that I think I'm interested in. I don't want to sell my soul again and be another screw in the machine that is so easy to replace. The problem I run into is that I don't have a driver's license at the moment and therefore don't have my own transport. And depend on public transport. I am currently taking driving lessons, and as it stands I should get my driver's license before the contract expires in June. I am, however, doing volunteer days in care for the disabled and youth care to see if this is something…
