[Molly] McGhee, who was an assistant editor at Tor/Nightfire, writes that after ten years in assisting roles, she requested a promotion when her first acquisition debuted at No. 3 on the New York Times Best Sellers list. She says in her letter that she was told she needed “more training” before being promoted and she could not expect to be relieved of administration duties “any time within the next five years.” https://lunch.publishersmarketplace.com/2022/03/editorial-resignations-at-big-houses-spark-reckoning/

The employer of my disabled of girlfriend and I is about to lie to our faces about not knowing our place of employment will be closed soon for some long amount of time and if i hadnt confronted the guys doing the estimates for renovations with questions he would of likely hid it longer. Dude has violated more laws then i can count but my girlfriend has been niave over the years. If he handles this as poorly as i think he is i want to ruin him. Anybody know any ways withing the law i can torment this man. I know his full name and business title. No i wont be doxing him. But i wouldnt mind letting the world know how much of a selfish jerk he is.

I’m a 22m, currently in college full-time taking 5 classes. But my families financial situation needs me to work a full time job as well. So I started working for my uncle, who works in real estate. On top of classes, I’m expected to work 7 days a week. After classes everyday from 2-8/9pm and 9-6 on the weekends. Honestly I feel like im one day away from just ending it all lol, my mental health deteriorates by the day and I get no time to recover. Just wanted to know if anyone else is feeling a burnout like this and any tips for how to get through it. Thank you!

My workplace offers 10 paid holidays and 15 days of PTO/sick. And it has to accrue. That's not 15 days of sick leave and 15 days of PTO. That's 15 days of sick leave AND PTO. What the FUCK. That's barely 1 day a month. So if I want to do a vacation that is longer than one work day, I have to go months without PTO. If I have to get surgery or get sick for more than 1 consecutive day, I can't use PTO for a month or two. There's a chance I have to get my appendix removed. That's two days, maybe three. I have plans for a vacation in a few months. It'll be about 9 days. My partner's company, on the other hand, has a 2 week MINIMUM PTO. They give them the entire week of Thanksgiving off, plus the week of Christmas through the…

I am going to be starting my career and I'm terrified. I have so many emotions and this will be completely different for me. I'm going to miss having weekdays off and having a life. any words of advice on how to not think negatively about it?

After the verbal abuse this man put me through last week culminating in me taking Friday off to recover (and look for a job) I discover an email from my day off where he requests I keep track of my day. So guess what? He wants to know what I’m doing with my day he can fucking know. 5 minute bathroom break? That’s going in there. Time spent filling out what I’m doing with my day? Fuck yes. Fuck him and he can’t complain as I’m doing what he asked. I spent a solid 30 minutes filling out my timesheet throughout the day.
