Antiwork

I went from one job where I wasn't trained and then got screamed at for fucking up while not having a lunch break for over 6 months. Then I went to a job where we had monthly pizza parties and snacks in the break room. I was so grateful they actually considered our need for food that the stale donuts were like heaven.

So Friday I told my boss that I had finished everything, she has to download some archives so I upload them to the software, she told me that she would download them in a bit, she didn't and now it's Monday and I have nothing else to do, I could remind her that she didn't download them, I could ask her if I can help in something else, but I'm not doing it and I feel bad lol. I don't know how to feel about this, I feel bad but I at the same time I'm thinking that I finished what I was supposed to do which is not much, I'm hired full time but I'm pretty sure I would have everything done the same way if I was hired part time.

Hi all, new here, so hope this post is relevant. I really need some advice. I’m struggling in work at the moment! I keep being blamed for things, that I didn’t do. When they realise it wasn’t my fault, they acknowledge it, but never apologise. I get blamed for making mistakes made on the days I wasn’t even in work! Today I was blamed for something and the person who was to blame, let me take the flack! Then when work realised it wasn’t me, they said nothing to the person who had made the mistake. I really love where I work, but I’m starting to dread going in, as I’m always in trouble for something I haven’t even done. Please help, I do not know how to deal with this.

I noticed on here that candidates are being asked in interviews if they’ve been on food stamps recently. Has anyone turned the tables on the interviewer? If so, how did that go?

To start off, I work for myself. I'm self-employed and I make enough money scheduling myself, but I do worry about income flow. It's never steady and I currently don't have anything put aside for retirement and insurance is hella expensive, not to mention self-employment taxes. So I started looking for a job where I can put my skills to work, with benefits and full-time hours. I was offered a salary that I was a bit unsure of, but accepted. After thinking about the salary over the weekend and doing some budget calculations, I need more. I sent an email today asking for an increase in salary before I've started my job. I read online this is considered unprofessional and can ruin my reputation. But guess what? I normally work for myself anyway. I don't need a good reputation at this hospital- and they can afford a salary increase anyway.…

I hate my job. My boss doesn’t listen or care about any concerns that the employees have. She just sends self help bullshit and thinks we’re just being negative. I started looking for work which is stressful enough without having to deal with all the bullshit I’ve been going through at my current job. We were laying in bed last night & my wife looked at me earnestly & said that if I was going to kill myself to just quit instead. We have a son, a house payment, & her student loans so we need the two incomes. I was blown away by this. I’m not suicidal but my wife thinks I am because of how miserable I am.
