you are not anti-work

You are not anti-work, you are anti-abuse. The shitty employers and the shittier owners of jobs are indeed a bunch of scumbags using you to generate wealth to them. You are not someone that doesn't want to work, you are someone that doesn't want to be abused. And you need to make that clear every moment you have, wither it be at work, with your friends, fam, whoever else. Say you leave your shit-eating job. Whats you next move to fullfill your life and earn a living? It either get a more decent job or creating your own thing. Both ways, the main aim is that you don't wanna live jobless or workless, you just dont want to be abused. And that is what these crap-heads are not getting.

I started out in retail 9 months ago with an attitude of wanting to help. Now the industry has made me bitter, jaded, and depressed.

This work environment is toxic. It’s a horrible system that exploits and takes advantage of your kindness and breaks you, all for 15 dollars an hour, and that’s better than a lot of people have it. I feel so overworked and under appreciated. Everyday I leave work broken, stressed, and exhausted (I walk about 8 miles a day for my job). Some weeks I’m on the clock for more than 50 hours. I’m so beaten I don’t have the energy to better myself. I have no time or motivation to apply for jobs. The nights before I often struggle to sleep because I’m having anxiety about the next day. I’m starting to realize this job has made me depressed. I am such a positive person, but I can feel the negativity building up in me. Just a few things I have had to deal with: After 9 months, I have…

Would requesting ADA accommodation have any effect on slowing a PIP?

I'm applying for other jobs but need 2-3 weeks extra time at the current one. Current job put me on a 10 day PIP for slowness. On Weds boss called me at 5:05pm. I said I couldn't speak, he said it was time sensitive and immediately put me on a 10 day PIP ending next Friday. Appears to me to be a greased chute to a Friday firing with legal protection. Today is my first check in. I plan to show boss how I've been trying to improve, and also mention my ADHD. I had mentioned it to him before but said I would try to work through it without making a fuss. I plan to tell him today that was a mistake and now I will go to HR (I'll say this in soft, non-combative terms). Do you guys think this will help me or just hurt even more?…
