Antiwork

I've worked in-person jobs before, back when I lived with my parents and hadn't moved out yet and had little responsibilities. The day I moved out was the day I got my fully-remote position so I've never had to be a full-fledged adult while working in-person. Sure, it's not all it's cracked up to be and I do suffer from a lack of sunlight and social interaction, but my god, I think I'd move back in with my parents before I worked an in-person job.. How do commuters get chores done? How do you work if your car breaks down? How do you go to doctors appointments, get your haircut, go to the post office..? All these things are closed on Saturday/Sunday. How do you sign for packages or take delivery of furniture? How do you get utilities/appliances repaired? Just let repairmen into your home without you present? It blows…

Conversation With Now EX- Boss Boss- Hey (My Name) everything okay? (Teacher) just mentioned that you had to leave? Me- Yes I did. Today is my last day. I thought I could deal with working the next three weeks and act normal and not completely gutted. It felt like you were really leaning into the idea of me being asked back. We've had so many conversations over the last couple of months and never did you tell me it wasn't looking good or anything like that. the only input I've gotten is amazing at doing my job everyone loves working with me even you. The kids love me so to me it made me think things were going in a positive way career wise for me there. I feel like I was misled I should've known how much of an “if” my position was. then we even discussed will there…

I work at a specialty outpatient clinic at a hospital. I work front desk. We have RNs, MAs and MDs working here. One MD is retiring after decades of working at the hospital. Our clinic supervisor is putting it on us, the overworked staff, to plan a “potluck” and pitch in for a gift. Nothing has been planned or will be paid for by the hospital. I'm not pitching in a single cent of my money to buy a gift for a doctor. But it's kind of sad, isn't it. The MD put in decades of work and now not even receiving so much as a going away party by the hospital. I hope she likes the deviled eggs(and whatever home made monstrosity that people will bring) and the $10 gift card to starbucks that our clinic will give her.
