Antiwork

I’ve been at my current job for 2 years. I started out as an analyst and quickly got promoted within 4 months to be a reviewer of analyst work. The duties changed a lot and I took on many special projects and additional responsibilities. I did not get a raise after my first year despite the change in role. My employer argued that I was not eligible since I did not get a rank change (rank titles are different from role titles — rank titles are uniform across the company and role titles are unique to teams). This year, I did receive a raise of 7%. From what I can tell this is seriously below market, and I have even heard of people on my team who are analysts being paid more than me. I have told my manager I am disappointed in the decision and would like to further…

I just got accepted into the school I want to go to. I should be celebrating but I also did the math today. I work as a waitress and have been spending as little as possible the last couple of months to put some money aside. The school will be full time for 2 years. If I live on just rice and beans I can make it 2 month before hitting zero. This is my chance to not be a waitress for the rest of my life but I can't see how I could make it. I'm panicking.

I want to hand in my two weeks because I am having a good awful relationship with managers and other staff. Little to no actual observations are happening yet the work is “based on performance”….. By who?? I want to give them the notice but I feel like they'll aim to fire me for doing so, out of spite. Edit : I wouldnt mind unemployment but being fired would be a first and doesn't that hinder possible future endeavors?

I work for a consulting firm, as a consultant I have been told we cannot discuss wages with our managers on the client side, I rarely have interactions with consulting firm itself, all they really do is give me the paycheck, can they really have a clause in the contract that states I cannot discuss wages with my direct supervisor from the client side? These are the people that would be hiring me directly if the make me an employee in the future anyways.

Whenever I go to work, I get really bad anxiety because I feel like I owe them a lot for paying me. So I kill myself working ridiculously hard to show what a great worker I am (like I’m some brainwashed product of a capitalist society). It’s damaging me and I need help. I can’t switch off at night because I worry about how I made myself look in front of co-workers that day. It’s why I love being in education (uni) where I’d technically be burdening myself if I failed a task, and not other people. I wish I had the same mindset as you guys

I have been waiting for 20 minutes for the interviewer and I'm just about ready to walk out. For future reference, how long do you normally wait before leaving? -Edit: The next person to be interviewed has arrived and I'm still waiting
