Antiwork

Does everyone feel appreciated?

Just started a role where the pay isn't great and the work kinda sucks, but pretty prestigious company. Should I wait 6 months before leaving or can I leave earlier? And will it look good/bad on my resume?

i work as a teller at a popular west coast bank. i started in november and ever since then the place has had numerous problems. i wanted to stay for 6 months but i could only make it to 5 after last night. the last week we were actually short staffed, not their fault, but also the place has horrible retainment anyway. the longest someone stayed was one year. this time one person moved, the other needed surgery, and one got covid all at the same time. there were 3 tellers plus my AM left since my manager wasn’t there. i had already told them i need part time hours (my contract hours) MANY times and they always tried to talk circles around it, and would often call me everyday asking me to come in early or come in on my day off when i finally got one. the last…

So basically the first movie spider man (with Tobey Maguire) is the story of : Oncle Ben, a 68-year-old worker, fired from his job after 35 years with the same company, who has to work to survive (no retirement) and who can't find a job because the companies have staggering demands (in his case it is imperative to know how to use a computer, we were in 2002, not the bronze age but still) Ben Parker: I'm already on my ass, May. When the plant's senior electrician is laid off after 35 years what would you call it? I am on my ass. Hand me that dish. The green one. The corporation is downsizing the people and upsizing their profits. May Parker: Oh, Ben, you'll get another job somewhere. Ben Parker: Well, let's look in the paper and see. There are the want ads. What do we got here? Computer……
