Antiwork

Hi Guys, I live and work in Canada. I visited my parents after 3 years of not seeing them due to Covid. I went down in Dec 2022 for about 3-4 weeks. I used my annual leave entitled to me and did not use any additional grace days or unpaid days. My manager told me that she had to pass through a lot of hoops to grant me this leave. She made me feel very bad during team meetings about how the team will have to cover for me. Now, I am planned to get married in Dec and will need about 8 weeks of leave. I am dreading asking them for this. I feel this is more of a vent/ I just wanted to share my emotions. ​ I wish the labour laws in Canada was so much more towards Employees. My fiancé already has his holiday approved for…

Suddenly as the calendar hit 3/20 the cold winds stopped and it was 50⁰ and the long, cold winter is over. Today will be nicer. And I have a serious case of spring fever.

I worked as an “early childhood instructor” for one day. I worked my scheduled (part time ) 4 hours and told the boss I quit, the job was not a good fit and they oversold it to me, it was basically daycare and I’d have a class of 12+ 2 and 3 year olds with no help. It was pure chaos and I was disappointed in their safety protocols as well. I realized immediately that I didn’t want this type of job.l and physically cannot do it due to a bad neck/back. I was in pain for 4 days after the 2 classes I did. Communication was primarily through email, so I quit via email and in the email I sent notifying the boss of my quitting requested the employer send my check for the 2 classes I did…And… no check and it’s been 3.5 weeks now. Also: There was…

Ok.. I’ve done all that. I worked my way through school for information technology. I took pay cuts for “job experience “ my resume looks super sketch because it red flags as “job hopping “ but only so I can gain worthy skills. Electrical, mechanical, controls, management is all sprinkled on my resume. At over ten years now. Where the hell is this “good job that’ll open up with better skills” ?! I can’t get offered anything over $19 most days! I don’t wanna sound entitled but I did everything I was “supposed “ to do. I invested in, in demand skills. Now what?
