Antiwork

I’ve only been in this position for a day and I’m already dreading it. I took the job because I was desperate to start working again and realized that it’s 30 minutes away from my home, it’s not in the field I even want to be in, and It’s more of a labor intensive job then what was advertised. I feel bad but I feel it’s better to quit before I get trained for no reason. Has anyone here ever quit within their first couple days/weeks? Not sure what to tell them either. I don’t know why I feel bad maybe because I wasted their and my time…. I feel sad like I’m just wandering anyone have any positive words?

title typo *Employer throwaway for personal reasons I moved states on Feb 2nd and was hired as a cashier selling donated goods at a store I won't name (rhymes with woodmill) – started working on Thurs Feb 17th. There's no insurance or benefits that I've been informed of or offered. I received a text from my boss this morning that she's requiring a doctor's note for my callout today. I've had two callouts – one because my roommates tested COVID positive and I had to go and get tested and unfortunately was only able to get it done during an hour I would have otherwise been at work mon-sat (9:30am-6pm shift). I take the bus to and from work so I leave at around 8:30am and get home after 7pm. The second time is today, I've felt nauseous and overall unwell since yesterday likely due to lack of food and…

Meanwhile my supervisor gets to walk a dog around the office and laugh around with other supervisors. I also asked for 30 hours instead of 40 to take care of a family member. they told me they CAN'T lower my quota and that it would be impossible. I offered to work from home part of the day, they told me they CAN'T have me working from home because it wouldn't be fair to everyone else. They wanna work something out but I have no idea what would work. These guys have also made me work in the office with a covid cough after I was working from home no issues hitting quota. That week, I had to go out to my car on break and cough for an hour nearly vomiting. I was waking up those mornings dryheaving. No reason for me to even be there. Another thing, there's a…

Long story short, I’ve had 3 jobs in the past 2 years. It was 11 months, then 7 months because company relocated, took 3 months off because I was so disheartened and burned out, then current I’m 7 months in but it’s toxic, management is shitty, and training is mediocre like bad. 90% of the time I don’t know what’s happening and I’m faking it til I make it. Honestly, some of the coworkers are assholes like condescending and smartass es. Example, I asked this department manager about one of his subordinates status because I needed a sign off to start my report and he replies “I’m sure you can ping him yourself.” Like fuck you dude why do you think I’m asking you for?? He’s fucking gone and you’re his boss. And another time when our director tells me and my direct boss that we need to figure it…

So I work at fast food and today I had multiple managers tell me different things. We had a sale for hot dogs today and one manager said we can do it at the location and showed me how to do it on the computer system ((No one has told us about the sale untill people were asking.)) But as soon as a co worker asked for help and I helped him the other manager said we are making the sale online only. And this isn't the only time. I am in collage right now and have to leave early. So yesterday it was close to my time to leave but I still had work to be done. My manager ((Who I shall call M)) told me not to worry about it and to go. I come in today and the other two managers ((The ones who don't know what…

I posted recently as my health tanked since working at my current company. Please be kind as I am mentally fragile. My employer refuse to pay or delay payment as I am on Medical Leave of Absence, my STD claim has been approved by my doctor and 3rd party company. What action I can take to get them to give me the pay? I dont want interruption to my insurance so I can still access my doctors. I am in WA state (at will). Can i report this to Department of Labor? Any advice appreciated.

My last job, I quit because they changed my job duties entirely 75% of the way through training from desk work to physical work. The job before that, I practically lived at work and was on call 24/7. I was essentially their work slave. I now look at Indeed and there is really nothing I really love or like. The benefits are bad, the pay isn't up to par, and they want you to live and give your soul to your workplace. How do you find something that doesn't make you cringe? A job that is withstandable? or something you love? I'd love to work for myself in time, but don't exactly have the means for that as of now.

I don't know why but my previous mentor/manager was extremely rude to me and had a very short temper. I ended up leaving the job when my contract ended trying to be on good terms, and when I said my good byes to her, she gave me a very rude and sarcastic response for no reason and I just ignored it (remote position by the way, so since we were not face to face her responses may have been more bold). Everyone else on the team was nice and seemed to like me except for her and to this day I don't know why because I've never had this issue at any other job. She basically made me feel incompetent for asking questions and scared to ask because she could easily get mad over nothing. Fortunately I wasn't unemployed for too long because I just accepted a job offer and…

I guess I’m posting here because I already know the answer. There’s a company that wants to interview me and it’s in a city 3 hours away, I asked if they could do the interview over zoom or something but they insisted of wanting it in person. Meanwhile I’m interviewing at companies 8 hours away and they’re all happy to do technical interviews over zoom. Is this a red flag for this company ? FYI, I’m a student with 2 years of internship experience and who’s graduating from an engineering program in May.

So I've been working as an administrator in some capacity since I was 18 and I'm just fucking sick of helping people, if the makes sense? Like, I'm always doing things for people that make way more money than me with baaaaasic shit and getting zero credit, I'm fucking done. I also can't help but thinking I get stuck with these roles always because I don't have a penis. Sick of watching dudes with no experience and all verbrado get promotions and raises and stepping all over the women who help them
