Let’s face it, if you can do your job at home, the only reason they want you there is so their expensive buildings don’t stay empty.
Trying to escape my current minimum wage job because it feels like a dead-end. I've applied to at least four other positions where I'd need some form of training, even though I'm in my fifth year of university (got a BA, and I'm pursuing an MSW) but it seems I'd be better off straight out of high school with just a GED at this point. I don't know whether to laugh or cry. By the time I get my MSW, I'll have a better shot, thankfully, because I've got a resource lined up for licensure and supervision but every day I keep getting texts from my current boss about how “sorry, I need people from XX shifts” and it just reminds me how I need an out but no one will let me for the pay I deserve. I just can't see how my applications keep getting rejected when I've…

I’m at a crossroads at my job and I’m afraid either decision I make is the wrong decision. We just got told they need to lay 150 people off and have asked people to voluntarily resign. If you voluntarily resign, you have to tell them by June 9th and you get a month of severance after your last day on July 1st. If not enough people voluntarily resign to hit the 150 requirement, they will lay people off on June 29th without severance. I have been unhappy here for a long time, but the job pays well and I’ve been here a while now that I feel comfortable. Spiritually, I would like to take the month long severance and use it to look for jobs, but I have been applying for other jobs for months now without luck. I don’t think my performance will help me, even though I’ve scored…
my PIP ends in 2 weeks and i can feel they are getting ready to fire me, i am beyond ready to leave, it’s ok. it’s taking a huge toll on my health. they are having me train others on some of my accounts, they rejected my PTO request (trying to get rid of it) and they gave me $0 on my Q3 bonus. am i just at a loss here? my company doesn’t pay out my PTO and i have 100 hours racked up. If i quit i still have to give my 2 weeks and nothing of this process is gonna change.
As a woman, I’ve learned that the moment I interact with another woman in the office environment and disagree with what they suggest, I become their enemy. It’s wild. I handle criticism well and I’m comfortable with conflict. I know that it’s work and not personal but I feel like 1/4 of the women I work with take disagreement as a personal vendetta, and they will carry that with them for their whole career. People say women are overly emotional, which some absolutely are, personally if you disagree with me I’ll take your opinion and roll with it. Disagreeing shouldn’t always lead to conflict, but with women I feel like it does. Men are never argumentative toward me. Do men deal with this with other men? Is it me personally? It’s exhausting.
Less than 20 USD an hour, wants “fluency” proven with a written and oral exam along with two interviews. The language I would translate is in high demand, but uncommonly taught/studied in the US. I make more now at a retail job that I hate, but at least pays the bills. I feel so discouraged, and feel that my years at college were really for nothing.
