Antiwork

In recent events, I moved out of the northwest to the southeast of the US; Away from my toxic family in hopes of getting a better future. Fast forward to after the final plane lands and now I'm in the south. One of my closest friend's mother offered us a place to stay as long as we put in applications and interviews for jobs. We have been doing that, at least between 1-4 applications a day. It hasn't even been two weeks since we've arrived and she's already coming at me; “If you waste this opportunity I gave you two, I'll put a time limit over your heads.” She even referred us to her own job (warehouse entry level) and we still haven't received a call or notice for an interview. I'm trying to look for free ways to make a resume for companies to look at, but I might…

This is a bit of a crossover with r/fuckcars and r/epilepsy I guess. I live in Texas. Born and raised here, lived here my whole life. I'm also epileptic and cannot drive and likely will never be able to drive; I've had epilepsy for 17 years now. You can imagine how that affects my job prospects. I have a B.A. and am also almost done with my Paralegal degree. However my job prospects are limited to a 10 mile radius, or remote. Depending on the pay rate and frequency of in-person I can do hybrid. Anything more and I won't be able to afford the uber. I don't have enough confidence to bike for long distances; I never learned as a child, so I'm wobbly when I bike and more likely to accidentally bike into traffic. I've been unemployed for months. My epilepsy was unmedicated at my previous job and…

I’ve had three loved ones pass away in less than a year. So young too. The first two, the grieving process left me broke from time off. So I scheduled grieving time. Had to wait two weeks. Just had to disassociate from the message I read and work. I feel so emotionally constipated and I can’t even grieve properly. Why the fuck do we live this way?

I'm a mature student in college again and I'll be out for the summer soon. It'll be hard to get a job for just 2 months but i do want to make alittle money. Any suggestions? I am open to unconventional things as long as it's legal.

My son is 7 and on Spring Break while I have a half week this week (so all screen time limits are out the window!) and he’s usually really good about knowing when to come into my office. Today I was in a presentation about DE&I with three directors and a vice President with some of my peers, when my son came in to ask for a juice. He noticed I was in a meeting so he wanted to see who I was talking to, waved on camera, and noticed one of my peers had Lego decor on their desk and was excited. No one said anything. So literally two hours later I follow up with my director about a posting for a new role that a colleague sent to me (my director knows I’m looking at exploring career mobility). I asked for their thoughts. And their response was, “We…

I'm currently working as a substitute medical physicist at a medium-sized hospital and I'm likely to be replaced soon. Our workplace is filled with passive-aggressive individuals and there's a severe lack of communication, to the extent where no one knows what each other do. Even our boss doesn't know what we do, instead our boss has to rely on one individual (my mentor) to obtain information. It's a pretty biased source of information, if your mentor doesn't like you, right? A boss that can't form own opinions? That's pretty pathetic. Not even my mentor cares about what we do. He wants us all to work alone, not cooperate. Why am I going to be replaced? Simply because I told my mentor that there's a lack of cooperation between us physicists, a lack of care in the organization. I'm a substitute physicist. When I got the job, I had to clean…
