Antiwork

When I joined my current company, everything was perfect. However, three colleagues left us, and I had to take over all their tasks and projects. It happened three or four months ago. Now I work up to 14 hours a day for the same salary because I’m the only professional who doesn’t have family and children, so I can dedicate 100% of my time for work. I was okay at first, because I didn’t have anything to lose. But shit happens, and I fell in love with a guy (the mutual feeling is the best!). Unfortunately, we cannot see each other often because of my job… I applied for a similar role, but with better conditions and salary (80% raise!). Today I received the answer that only one interview is left and I’m hired. I feel like an asshole (a little), but life is too short to die alone and…

I worked as a paramedic for a local hospital and there has been positions opened since last year. My friend just passed the licensing examination and I told her to apply to the hospital. She applied and they really liked her. My friend has never gotten into any kind of trouble, has her degree and overall, a wonderful person. They offered her the job and she did all the HR paperwork that was needed. She was contacted by the background company and gave them the information that was needed. Everything looked great and she was very excited to start the job. Her father passed away and she asked HR if she could move her start date. HR had no issue with moving the start date. She was supposed to start yesterday and when she didn't show up for the shift, I found out that HR had called and told her…

And there's no info about it as usual. What on earth is going on here now?

Both my wife and I work. Pretty good paying jobs. She is a school psychologist and I am shop manager. But we will now be totally fucked. Rent is $2700 a month and child care is 4k. Just those 2 things is going to bankrupt me. I am trapped. Can't quit to stay home almost not worth it to stay. I want to have them in a good daycare instead of having some rando watch my baby and toddler and that is just the going rate around here. I already have picked myself up by the bootstraps and the system has crushed me.
