Why did my former boss dislike when I did the same exact did she did for my work? She said I’m not doing enough or wasting time doing too much.

For my previous job, we had to report infection cases to the county. This is basically just copying and pasting all the required information from a patient’s informational chart and filling out the form required by the county. Not ALL the lines need to be filled out. When I first started, I looked at the previous cases that she reported. She didn’t fill out everything. I filled out as much as she did. She told me that I didn’t fill out enough and even accused me of not doing the job before, which I had one year of experience doing it at a different organization. Then I filled everything in detail and she accused me of wasting too much time and not focusing on our priorities. I’ve moved to a good job with a good boss, but I still can’t get over why she did this to me. Did she…

Ive become an ageist because of work/economy

Being in my early 30s i cant help but finding myself automatically hating the older generation people, especially after having worked along side them for many years. These people who took everything from our generation. These people who ruined our futures and our planet. Then they expect us to treat them with respect because we treat “elders with respect”. I cant do it anymore. I know its not every older individual that has that boomer mindset. I know many people probably struggle during that time as well. But i just cant do it. Instead of seeing an older individual and thinking “they must be a wealth of experience and wisdom”. I instead just think “wow there is another idiot boomer who drank to much lead water and now cant tie their shoes correctly let alone understand or care about anything that actually matters”. Does anyone else feel this way or…

Work is forcing people to go back into the office. Options?

My company has mostly been work from home since the pandemic started and we do go into the office once a day per person to go ahead and ship out hardware and the like. They're starting to ramp up to getting us all to go into the office more and I was curious if anyone has any ideas as to how I could push back without losing my job

Company says they provide the legal minimum as a “benefit” I figured I’ll let the recruiter know that this isn’t something that sparks confidence. They were recruiting for a field engineer where a company car is a necessity
