Antiwork

So I had found a decent place with very good flexibility, decent benefits and a pretty good salary, and I managed to “ruin” my chance because I've become increasingly bitter with anything corporate related – partly because of this sub. I wasn't exploited, I wasn't attacked needlessly, I wasn't mocked. My coworkers are nice, I didn't have to do overtime, my boss is (mostly) nice and knows what he does and what we have to do, yet I approached the place with lots of prejudice and wrong mentality. Now I have to find another place and I have no guarantee to find a better job, a better environment, or even to match this one. I have no energy because I burned myself out with spite and I have no self respect because I truly did nothing out of spite. If you are from another country than the US, take everything…

So, I posted on here about a week ago about me being fired from my job. Idk how to link things so just look on my profile if you want. I really don't know how I'm gonna make it. I don't have my HS diploma or GED, so that takes a ton of jobs out for me. I only really have food service/management experience, & so few places around me are hiring for those. Those that are are paying too little to pay my bills. I'm at risk of losing my place, my life really. I know this isn't really what this sub is for, but I really hate that I have to work in order to live any type of nice life.

Who here has a career/job that: Pays well You enjoy it You don’t have to work lots of hours I love parts of my job. But I work all the time, 60 hour weeks and I’m getting burned out. Parts of it are stressful, but there are enjoyable parts to and I get paid well. So what jobs have people found here that you enjoy, pays well and it’s flexible. I know this is asking a lot for a job but they are out there, I hope

I’ve worked at a few IT places that made me do on-call which is somewhat common in the industry. Place #1 first tried to tell me that’s only for “their” employees since I was doing work for another company but I told them I won’t do it simply, so they said fine I’ll pay you but you have to fill out this form, I fill it out and I don’t get paid I have to hound them for it. Months go on same old song and dance so I let my self get fired. Job 2, no problem paying me the on-call pay but again if any over time or on call is performed we have to fill out a form. This company wanted a printed sheet to be signed by me and the supervisor which was a pain in the ass since neither of us were in the office.…

So as I’m giving my 2 week notice to my bosses boss because my boss said it was respectful. Whatever just get me the eff out of here right? So when I’m giving him notice he tells me my position merits a one month notice not a two week notice. The other thing he said was about how if I wanted to climb the ranks I would eventually have to find a company I can be loyal to. So 1. I know a one month notice is all benefit for the organization and all risk for the employee. 2. If this is true where should loyalty rank when choosing to stay or leave an organization? TLDR: when should loyalty if ever come into consideration when deciding to stay or leave an employer?
