I [32m] am a CNC machinist for a government contractor. 15 months ago I moved 1700 miles with the idea of “IM GETTING INTO THE MAJOR LEAGUES OF MACHINING”, and instead was welcomed with the most toxic work environment I’ve come across since being a teenager working at a fucking grocery store. While the actually work has been the only reason I’ve stayed (work that gets done with the bare minimum of technology, machining tools, and measurement tools), the past few months I’ve been on such a steady steady decline in mental health. I need out, badly, but in this area there isn’t much game in town and most options are worse in every single way.

New Budget changes.

I'm in school full time, so I really just want work that's extremely flexible with scheduling. Some weeks I get all my school work done quickly, other weeks I'm swamped and work just gets in the way of that. Can anyone point me in the right direction to look for remote work?
How do I know if my prospective employer will call my “former employer” to confirm dates of employment and job title? I never get any calls with my actual resume (and I'm way qualified for everything I apply for) but I was sick of the waiting around and never hearing even a 'fuck you' we hired someone else…. just crickets… for months I added ONE entry level role (that i never had) but got a call immediately from an application, haven't heard from them since maybe 2 weeks ago. I'm guessing they called to verify. HOW DO WE BEAT THIS SHIT?

I am done.
I can't do this anymore, working for someone else. I went for a few interviews to change my jobs. I even have a straight-up offer. But I know for sure it will be bad situations again in a few months. So I have decided to quit and do part-time deliveries to support myself and work on my projects for the whole day.
