Antiwork

So I've been at my current job for about 11 years. I started making a salary of $1000 per week once covid and things hit, and my hours all went crazy. I work a lot of hours, usually I'm in the office by 7am and don't leave until 5pm. Then, when I'm home, I'm still checking emails , scheduling, and answering texts. I also get 2 weeks paid vacation, and everyone does after 5 years. There are no other benefits whatsoever. Since it is salary pay, there is no overtime, and I wonder if I'd be better off being paid hourly. Only 3 people get paid salary and one requested to be paid hourly, so she gave him almost no work to make a point like look you don't make anything now. Now, if there's ever a slow week or I need to cut out early for kids, she tells…

I need some advice as far as how to handle a workplace situation. Long story short, I no longer feel welcome around a certain person. We never had a beef, as far as I know, but they react kindly around other people, talk to other people. But when I'm around, I'm excluded, talked over or ignored. The one time they acknowledged me was when I asked a question and they asked “what” in a way that told me to shut up because no one cares. So I shut down, said “nevermind” and left. Other than that, it's not malicious. It's just a feeling like I don't belong, or that they don't want me there. I told my higher up and that's about it. Is this something serious?

Paid disability insurance for 10+ years in a career I gave everything to, simultaneously keeping up with psychotherapy and psychiatrists. Used every resource they theoretically provide career professionals in service of wellness; I did yoga, y’all. I changed my diet. I kept journals, notes, mood logs. I studied everything you can study in the American workplace without making yourself fringe. I was rotting from the inside but still did the timesheets, reported to my desk, tried to solve unsolvable problems and waited for payday to come and give me two more weeks on earth. Finally I said uncle last summer and filed for disability. My short term claim went through after the company combed a decade of my intimate notes and feelings— but I had checked every single box you could check. Relieved and grateful for a tenuous relief, I laid out plans to spend two years recovering, rebuilding, and…

Had a great interview to escape my toxic job. Should know by FRIDAY. Think of me please. ️️️️

How do you handle an office bully saleperson when your manager says that's how all sales people treat your department? I don't want to go to HR. I love the job, love the company, don't love putting up with this bully who tears me apart over things that are not my fault? For reference,the salesperson (we will call her Sarah) didn't give wording she wanted to be changed on the contract from the start. She asked for a word change… on a word that was mentioned multiple times in the paragraph in question. I made an educated guess, and she responded in the same 10 seconds I sent my edit suggestion with what she wanted. Ok cool, that's what she meant? No problem, I will get right on that. Unfortunately, because she clarified RIGHT after I made my guess, she responded lashing out complaining how she told me what she…
