Antiwork

I'm trying to find ways to work for myself and have been looking at these as possible opportunities. I know they take a portion of what you earn and you have to be on the lookout for clients trying to game the system but it seems like some people do alright on it. This is likely going to require therapy but I just can't stand the thought of working for someone right now. I've been in toxic environments. I'm the introvert who has been passively-aggressively put down for not being a team player because I don't like office parties, celebrating MY birthday at work, and having anything to do with coworkers who don't want to have anything to do with me. Thank you for reading.

I'm posting this here because I think you guys will give me the most realistic and harsh advice/criticism. I'm being offered my first salaried position. 23 employees, Commercial linen so we wash hotel sheets and the linen from restaurants. 2-8 employees during my shift. Up until now I've just been the afternoon/evening washer+ 6 days a week (the plus is because I'll handle small things the regular manager would normally do if he was here like occasionally getting small orders together and keeping certain areas on the up and up. Recently I've started to do a bit extra stuff like building certain storage cubes so we can get things more organized). Now I've been offered a position where on top of normal washing, I'll be in charge of the employees working during my shift in an attempt to keep things moving as it's the kind of place where once “the…

Before anyone says that I’m lazy or anything hurtful.. please don’t say it, because I’m already beating myself up mentally over this. I’ve tried working full time many times.. currently, I’ve been at my full time job for exactly one year. I feel like I’m going to die. Yes that’s dramatic, but the amount of anxiety, exhaustion, depression, sadness, worthlessness is just overwhelming. I’ve tried using PTO, therapy, medication, just “sucking it up”, making sure I’m eating enough, sleeping enough, doing things I enjoy (which I can’t do often because I’m so exhausted that all I want to do is lay down)… I don’t know what to do at this point and I just want to break down and cry. I can’t afford to work part time, and I’ve already tried working from home as a full time employee and that didn’t work either. My quality of life is severely…

Howdy all! To the point: I'm pretty sure I'm close to a two-week notice with my current employer. I have an inkling they'll want an “exit interview.” I have no desire to grant them the privilege. It's an extremely small organization. I'm person #8 they've hired in the last 6 years. Very small group and I definitely feel like an outsider and have been torn to shreds over incredibly small instances, like using a prepositional phrase. Yes, a prep phrase. Micromanagement specifically around me is the norm. I had a rough onboarding as well that the president had the door open for (I have a rough past but have proven my skills and she spoke loud enough for everyone to hear. It was incredibly embarrassing and was the equivalent of my dirty laundry out for everyone to hear) Anyway, if they want the exit interview, I'm planning to tell them…
