Antiwork

I'm 28 and I am currently living in Nevada. I work security and I am only making $10hr. I have been working here for almost 4 years now and I'm underpaid and burnt out already. Even if my job fired me or I quit it won't be a huge loss since I still live with my dad and he is OK with me living with him. I am tired of waking up early, working 8 1/2 hour days, doing overtime(there were weeks where I did 12 hour shifts 5 days in a row sometimes for 2 weeks), only having 5 hours to myself in the evening. The only reason why I have not quit is because I worry about the backlash from my dad. My dad has a boomer mentality of work where he wants me to show strong corporate loyalty. I've already been applying to other jobs and I've…

I am honestly losing motivation whilst applying to jobs.My backgroundBiology degree ( specialized in Fungal and Microbiology) ….. 2.5 years of Undergraduate Research experience….. 1.5 years of experience in industry doing QC……… 2.5 years as a Research Assistant at a top Research Univ……. I apply to 10 to 20 jobs a day……. only thing I hear back is the auto reply of ” We have received your application”…….. No REJECTION NO UPDATES NOTHING AT ALL for weeks or months…. TELL ME SOMETHING.

I work entirely from home. Does anyone have tips/tricks/hacks that make working from home a better experience? I have multiple zoom meetings every day, so I can't totally disappear.

So after Newsweek ran an article about it I decided it may be worth following up on. I went and chatted up the front desk lady who clarified it was 'a joke' and that the supplier is just out of stock. HOWEVER! I'm not so sure. You see the brand is Biglow, and the tea I like is English Tea Time. And guess what I can find, literally anywhere? You gussed it! English Tea Time! It's been 2 weeks, and I'm sick of lemon. What I did discover is that they sell variety packs, which are one of the cheapest options, and when looking through the cupboards I find a ton of the less than desirable flavors IMO (proof below) Now call me a conspiracy theorist but I think they are WANTING me too go through the overstock of other flavors before they order more. To save literal pennies vs…

I am hoping to hear the perspective of people who have either imagrated there from the United States or even people who have moved from NZ to the US. I know they have better social programs and from my general opinion it seems like the tax money people pay actually go to said programs instead of the US war infrastructure used to bomb brown kids overseas for oil. Currently I'm working as an electrical helper making $15 an hour in the South. Was also wondering if the traders are a big thing overseas and pay decently.

I am looking to resign very soon, but have a 1 week vacation to go on, then look to give my 2 weeks notice. So 1st day back, I will resign. Just want to check, is there any reason to resign before my vacation? Obviously my employer would prefer that, but I dont GAF about that. I guess i am just antsy to resign, but part of me thinks if resign before holiday, they will prorate my leave pay, or since Im in an at will state, just fire me immediately.

I moved from California to Texas and ever since then I don't know if it's been me or my managers that have driven me out of my jobs. In California, i had very professional respectful managers that wouldn't micromanage and they were respectively at a retail setting and a community health center setting. The two worst managers I've experienced were here in Texas when I started working in doctor's offices and I guess it's due to the demand and stress but it's been really weird to see such a disconnect between what I had and what I'm experiencing now. I'm not by any means a lazy worker I really don't like to leave any work on my desk at the end of the day I try to help out as much as I can I've been cross trained and I apply my skills so I'm just wondering does long-term employment…
