i currently work at printdropper in pittsburgh, but i used to work in kitchens and landscaping before i made my home here. i absolutely love this job; very cool staff and coworkers, decent PTO well from covid, coming in less than an hour late isnt an absence, and a bunch of other stuff that it dope as hell. with all good things said, we still have problems and its mostly “mandatory overtime” around chirstmas and mothers day. i also used to regularly work in a recording studio in the south side (upstreet records) but after covid i decided i cant take doing in-person recording sessions so i only do remote mixing and mastering for them sometimes. i had marked friday-sunday as studio days when i first started working at PD but eventually picked up sundays to make some extra cash. any time we get really busy my boss does a…

My last day at work
This is me venting because I’m annoyed. Today’s my last day at work after giving in my two weeks notice. My plan was to call in sick today because I’m a full-time student and have an exam tomorrow. I didn’t mention this plan to anyone but my manager told me she would do a going away thing for me on my last day. I honestly didn’t expect/want that because I hate this place but I thought it was a nice gesture so because of that I came into work today. My shift is almost over and my manager didn’t even show up. I feel dumb because once again, I put this stupid job over myself and I still have an exam to study for when I get home. I know it’s not a huge deal but I’m annoyed.

Started a job, Worked one day, Quit
Title says it all. I recently picked up a job at a local nursery, thinking working with plants cant be to bad even if it is corporate. The day of the interview, I go into the store on time and ask for the manager. They have me sit down and wait as he is busy with other things. Another guy who was there to interview had been waiting for 45 minutes and they had him sit with me. Him and I chit chat for about 15 minutes until the manager finally comes over to interview us. Now it has turned into some sort of group interview because the manager obviously doesn't have time for interviews. He asks both of us the usual questions and then had us answer a “Plant Quiz”. I finish up with this and then leave. I drive myself all the way home, which is about a…

Brooklyn Unite!
Figured I'd share my story since I see a lot of posts about people lamenting their being forced to move back in with their parents. I'm relatively new to this sub, but I figured I'd share my story. Twice in my adult life I've been forced to move back in with my parents. To this day I'm still living with them, with no end in sight. My first career was to be a gigging musician, and to toot my own horn I think I was pretty damn good at it. After getting my associates in science I dropped out of college to pursue playing full time. When I wasn't getting gigs through the local union I was getting studio time all over the place, and while I wasn't getting rich by any stretch of the imagination I was happy because I was independant and doing exactly what I wanted to…
