Antiwork

It’s that saying that you need experience for a job but you need a job for experience. How are you supposed to get experience in a field if you have to have experience to be hired? This isn’t even like I have zero experience. I work in a different but similar department. The posting said they will train. But I take off my current job to interview and was told they didn’t mean train from nothing. Just because I don’t have department specific training doesn’t mean I know nothing. I’m tired of jobs not being specific up front. My workplace only allows you to apply to transfer so many times so this is one wasted. Not to mention I was kept waiting outside the building for about 7 minutes before my interview which lasted less than 5 minutes total. The supervisor didn’t even apologize for making me wait. Just getting…

I’m in college and working towards having a job in the medical industry. Sometimes I wonder if I’m wasting my time and money, and should just get into Data entry or something in IT or social media. I’ve been a bartender and waitress since I was 14 and I am in my late twenties. Sometimes the posts make me realize I might just be getting a pay cut to be able to never tell my boss to fuck off. I work in an industry where jobs are a dime a dozen, so if I don’t like my boss I can silly tell them to get fucked and have a full time job by tomorrow. I guess location helps. But I make easily $27 per hour and sometimes far more than that. Did anyone leave the service industry for a pay cut, an attitude adjustment, and regrets?

First day worked 2 hours of training the last day of the pay period and then 40 hours a week for one year. Benefits kick in after one year of 40 hours a week averaged out benefits don't kick in for six more months to get rid of that one week of 2 hours messing up the average.

Why recruiters are sometimes taking so long to answer? I did my final stage of interview with the client (out of 4 stages in total) last Thursday. Client came back with positive feedback at Monday at the end of workday. Today is Tuesday and internal recruiter was supposed to call me to make an offer and discuss starting date. Now again workday is nearly over and no contact from her. Tomorrow is a national holiday so she will get back to me at best on Thursday. Goddamnit why it takes so long, if Im starting next Monday I need to prepare myself. Im seriously getting second thoughts such as even about declining the offer if they will try to lowball me. Previous week they really rushed the process and I had to do 4 stages of interviews and this week they are wasting my time. Am I being impatient or…

So I work in amazon for nearly 2 years. The pay is good. One of the pa’s said that I should apply to the pg role. And I asked my manager he said okay. But I never got trained. One person said that they are not training anyone. This is before peak season hit. And right before peak season came. They trained a person who by that time only worked for 3 months. The manager is a lying git. Now I’m sad. I keep asking them and they are saying there is no more training.

I (28M) am an Account Manager for a Technology company, I over see a major company that has multiple brands working with us. As of recently management has decided to also add in an additional brands under me to manage and the stress of the existing brand and the new brand has me at my whits end. I am struggling in my day to day to get things done between emails and questions from clients, the actual work load and then trying to progress new process efficiencies documentation. As of now the one singular company with multiple brands that I handle consumes the full 40 Hr work week, adding in extra work and brands has me working extra hours every night just to keep up. I'm extremely burntout, frustrated and dreading each day of work. I really don't know what to do, I've spoke with my manager and higher ups,…

I work six days a week packaging baked goods, dealing with pushy customers, and basically being on my feet the entire time. To be fair… some days are pretty chill, barely bothered by anyone, but still: six days is six goddamn days. Leaving one day to get errands done is just draining me. Even post-work, no matter how chill the work day was, I feel so empty, I've only just enough energy to scroll thru tiktok or reddit in the hopes of finding something interesting. Or playing Tetris. Any “triple A” massive world game (ie, Far Cry 6) just seems so overwhelming and mentally exhausting. I used to write fanfics but, now, I can't even muster the energy for that. TL;DR experiencing some serious burn-out symptoms, need advise on managing them.
