Hey. Basically, I need at least advice, but likely a lot more in that general vein. I'll try to keep this as short as i can, because all the baggage could fill several commercial airplanes. Me : Autistic but IT-gifted and *not* socially inept, always loved video games, computer stuff, mid-thirties white male from Europe, currently living on that tiny joke of an island that did a Brexit. Also have Aphantasia (Literal lack of visual imagination) Problems : Totally ruined education that was never steered back on track when parents were around, leading to basically no jobs, leading to crap barren CV, leading to *less* jobs because I look lazy and stupid. I'm only one of those, your choice which :-P. Learning disability where bad explanations severely confuse me and tangle my brain up and give me anxiety – slow learner but monstrously streamlined when I do learn something.…
Best way to quit my job?
I work at a cinema and my boss has been requiring employees to come in after hours and do the janitors job because all of the janitors keep quitting. We dont receive extra pay for this. Ive outright refused to do this and its gotten by but im tired of the borderline threats to come in off hours for “experience” with cleaning. Whats the best way to quit my job? Is there anything legal I have to do, or can I just say I quit and not show?
Doesn’t make any sense
It truly doesn’t. I’m the only person in my department. I’m the maintenance crew for my company. I have maintenance jobs that I need to be doing, but my manager sends me out with a road cutting crew.. meanwhile my maintenance projects start falling behind. So what does my manager do? He gives my projects to the construction crew, which is at least 6 other guys…. Rather than sending them with the road cutting crew and getting all of THAT shit done quicker… I understand the whole “your job is your job plus anything we tell you we need”, but at this point I’m getting so tired of being basically “forced” into a different position than what I applied, interviewed, and got hired on to do.
I am at a point where I don't care to tailor to a specific job application but rather applying to multiple jobs each day without even looking at job descriptions and requirements. We are already expected to work before actual work in the form of payless personal projects and earning certificates. It is only a waste of time for me to perfect my resume/cv only to do it again on LinkedIn only to apply for a job through LinkedIn only for them to send me an email telling me to applying using some job posting site that I never heard off only for it to have “Apply with LinkedIn” button that doesn't do anything only for me to add and write everything from my resume/CV again. And after all that work, either I will never hear from the company I applied at or get rejected. And employers act all surprised…
Obey the machine
Due to some circumstances I've had to start looking for waitressing jobs to pay the bills. I've had a bunch of bad experiences so far but the worst has been about 30 minutes ago when I was told I'm too old for the job, the owner said he's looking for a “girl between 18-25 tops but you know, can't say things like that on a job ad these days hurr durr”. He continued by asking me if I was married, I said I'm engaged. He said “well you're engaged and in your 30s even if I wanted to I can't hire you because you should be focusing on having kids and if you get pregnant I'm gonna have to pay your maternity leave. Why should the government punish me for you having a kid? I'm doing you a favor really” Ok you mofo piece of sh1t. You're in a position…
