Antiwork

Hi all, Anyone have any suggestions for WFH jobs/gigs that pay well and aren't horrible? Long story but my work history has been a little all over the place since 2020, and after being unemployed for some time, I began to realize how important work life balance is to me. I don't want to work full-time/overtime anymore for unsatisfactory pay just to make ends meet. I quit my most recent job today. Has anyone had any success finding a WFH job that you actually enjoy? One that might be accepting of someone with a more generic, non specific college degree (Psychology and Biology). Thanks everyone.

I recently took up a part time position at a newly opening store part of a corporate coffee branch. At my interview (which I was hired on the spot at which is apparently a red flag) I told them I could do 24, maybe 30 hours per week. Currently we’re wrapping up training with the store opening next week. I was supposed to have tomorrow off but they updated the online rota tonight (without contacting me first) to give me a ten hour shift stating 7am tomorrow. Only found out about this at 1am. No way they can expect me in tomorrow. No respect for my time? Well no respect for theirs either. I’m also scheduled for 53 hours of work next week, with three 12 hour shifts three days in a row. Here in the UK forty hours a week is considered standard full time hours. Even though this…

I was unemployed for a long time and it was really hard. Multiple unsuccessful interviews. Just 2 weeks ago, I accepted a job offer, signed and sent it back to the employer. I accepted the job because I had to live on something and pay bills. Expected start date is 03/23/2022. Yesterday, I received another job offer from a company that I always wanted to work for. I need advice on how to decline the 1st job offer which i already signed. FYI, it is employment at will. Please advise

We are understaffed and overworked. I am riddled with anxiety all day because there's so much work to be done, work is falling behind and I am getting micromanaged and expected to respond to messages/emails asap. Sure I can leave this job, but I don't know how to explain it to a potential employer why I had left, without looking like I couldn't do my job. I already have some big gaps in my resume due to mental health reasons and I couldn't land this one job recently because I couldn't explain the gap (at least without telling them I have anxiety issues) HELP

Since I was at school (diligent top student all that), I knew I would dislike working one day. I would see people in a mall at 11-00 in the morning and thought it seemed like winning the lottery. My job is part-time and freelance and I have a much better balance now. I am now a day mall person, and love being one! what do others think of being in a setting like a mall during the day? I love it.

I work in healthcare, and I actually used to like my job. About a year ago I had to change shifts and now I get to deal with 1 misogynistic, sexist asshole and 1 control freak who thinks she's the boss and has only been there 2 months. Bosses who rug sweep and make empty promises. Btw, I am the Supervisor on our shift, but I cannot fire them. After multiple arguments with these 2 individuals and management not doing a damn thing about them, I started looking for another job. As a single Mom I can't just quit, although I'd love to, I just can't afford to. They don't pay me enough as is. My mental health has taken a nose dive. Everyone dislikes these 2 people and I only get 1 night free from both of them. The stress is taking a toll, I go into work prepared…

I see it a lot here in various comments, people speculating that certain things could be illegal or questionable. But at this point in our society, is there actually any legitimate entities that will go to bat for people who are lower/middle class? Lawyers are insanely expensive and I don't know who to actually turn to for the heavy hitting questions who doesn't charge $500/hr…money which I don't have.

A bit of my background. I work as a cram school teacher in the countryside in Taiwan. It's only been 6 months since I started the job, but I realized early on that this job doesn't suit me, plus my co-worker literally gives me a lot of anxiety every single day. So I put up my 8-week notice, which I thought was ample. Yesterday we had a meeting, me, my co-worker, the receptionist and my boss (we only have 4 people here). And my boss said to everyone during the meeting that my departure was unexpected, he had considered the possibility that students would drop out, leading to the lack of funding to support other co-workers. He is considering firing the receptionist. His wording made the whole thing sound like my fault. I'm not sure if I should feel guilty about it, but that co-worker of mine was seen crying…
