I’m so done…

What does everyone do? I'm tired of what I do and I'm looking for something new. I want to make over 25.00 USD, if not more but I know that's a big ask right now, but that's what I need to be making right now. Anything that feels worth doing pays pennies, and things that make me hate myself seem to pay decent.

I was asked about psychiatric history as part of an interview.

After the initial interview, which I thought went well, I was asked to fill out a packet. It asked for psychiatric illnesses, if I'd ever left a job due to psychiatric illnesses, and what medications I take. I'm schizophrenic and am on several meds to help me. I left a lot of it blank so that I'm omitting the truth rather than outright lying. But is it really any of their damned business? It's for a dietary aide at a nursing home.

HELP! 18F first job is a 9-6 office job! – advice pls

Hi all, as the title states I've just started my job and am 4 months in. I'm incredibly exhausted with little time to relax. Commuting takes over 1 hour. I currently live in an abusive household, have C-PTSD and I'm trying to save enough to rent comfortably. How do people do this? My co-workers come in early and leave late. How is anyone truly living like this? Are we bots? Why am I to feel lucky to have 25 days of holiday, how is that a blessing? (Not to mention you can buy holiday at my company) I've done exceptional so far but I feel like that means my exceptional work is expected as a standard so I'm expected to do more and more. I'm also nuerodivegent so it's incredibly exhausting keeping up with social cues/ I get over stimulated easily. This is the first work environment I've been in,…

I think I’m overpunished

Hello everyone I joined a new company a year ago, and for a while things were going fine, but due to some personal issue, my sleeping schedule got messed up. So I started waking up a bit late for work every once in a while, not by much but enough to much but enough to miss the daily meetings. And although missing it, they would know what I’m working on since we have a ticketing system. The management did say that I should try to attend them but never on, what seemed to me, a serious note. And even though this was happening for a while, the feedback I got from them las summer was good, this being the only thing they pointed out as an issue. Fast forward a few months, my mental health hadn’t improve, and during a period I was supposed to change apartments I messed up…

Getting job interview rejections bc I look and sound young?

Interviewing for tech jobs (I’m 23 female) and I feel like a lot of them view me as incompetent bc I sound and look young. People often say I look and sound like an 18 year old. I have a child-like voice too thats higher pitched. And I’m an Asian girl. Does this make me seem inexperienced and incompetent? Is this why I keep getting rejected? I’m getting really upset lol
