Antiwork

I start a new job this evening and I'm new to the company, but coming on in a 'Lead' position. If you were on the team, what would make this new teammate/authority figure seem a good addition to you? I'm not used to starting from the not-bottom.

So I'm thinking about quitting my job. Its keeping me in a depressed state and I keep being put in situations that are not healthy for me when my managers are aware that I cannot be doing certain things due to recovering from surgery just because they want to send people home. I don't want to give two weeks notice to a place that doesn't respect me. How would you do it?

First off, I know this is nothing new to you guys. But I just keep getting frustrated when I apply for a job and go to the interview. And get hit with this, “so the position you applied for is part-time…” Then I respond with that the job post on your website said full time. Then the interviewer says “well our company policy is to start every one out at part time, then they have the chance to get full time status after 6 months. And then other interviews I go to tell me the starting pay is way less than what is posted. It just gets the point where I just tell them, “you know what, this job isn't for me” And just walk out of there

I repair technology, I have my own territory, but then the last 2 months they closed another branch and they put an additional 700 machines or so within my territory. I have been backlogged for the last couple months and anytime compensation comes up for this extra work it always boils down to that quote” we have to prove you could handle the increased work before we can pay you more” Since all of this has started a couple months ago I pulled out my Written Letter agreement and I have been doing my bare minimum of what is expected of me and I do not do any extra work now. All of the soft skills that I was able to do when I had just 700 machines are now gone cuz having 1400 machines over a well-defined area is near impossible to keep up track with I have updated…
