What’s the easiest job you ever had to do?

I work as a security guard and my post is easy as fuck. I work at a utilities site and my orders are to check for locked doors. The task take me 10 minutes to do and when I am done I just go back to my shack and wait for 2 hours until I have to patrol again. Every now and then I will open the gate to let a worker vehicle in but that's about it. I usually use my phone or play on my gaming handhelds in between patrols. In a full 8 hour day I probably only do 30 minuites of real actual work. I am also looking for a new job that pays a better wage and hopefully the same amount of work load. What's the easiest job you had to do?

Thoughts about quitting current job during the interview process?

A few months ago, I was at my company's annual conference. I am a female and work in a predominantly male-dominated industry. At this particular conference, two male colleagues sexually harassed me, one attempted to follow me around the hotel/up to my room/tried to get me to leave the hotel with him, and the other called me hot in front of my boss (who stood there and did nothing). After this happened, I reported the issues to my boss. He ended up blaming me and said the guy following me around must have been doing it out of chivalry because I must have been drunk (I wasn't) and the other guy was just paying me a compliment and I was rude for not accepting it. Boss made me sit down with another employee (totally unrelated to the incident) after the conference and reamed me out for being too sensitive and…

I am so fucking angry at how many jobs I’ve applied to, followed up with regarding my applications, receive ZERO replies from, and all I get is scam emails from Indian people for false job offers.

They call me incessantly. They crowd my email and I block every fucking one of them, but they just. Keep. Coming. I'm so tired of this capitalist horse shit. And all the BS about “employers LOVE to hire military veterans.” My ASS, bro. I wish I was a lizard. You know what my daily requirements would be? Bake on hot rock. Lick eyeball. Eat bug.

Stuck in my dead end job, can’t even leave to the military.

I’m currently a father of multiple children. I’ve been working in transportation for the past couple years. I attempted to this year enlist into the military only to have a nurse who saw me for 30 minutes in 2018 and a doctor see me for 5; ruin my chances at ever being able to serve my country and get a better way of life than I currently have or can have where I live. I’m at a point where the only thing that keeps me going are my children. I wish there was something I could do. I’ll never be able to own a home or go to college. I feel defeated and don’t even want to seek mental health support as that is what landed me in this mess.

Road Closures

So last month my area got hit with a Decent Blizzard, we ended up with about a foot of snow in 24 hours. My dad called in due to the Highway Patrol closing the roads within 200 miles of us. So I just found out his job wrote him up for not coming in any way because he drives a 4X4 vehicle so “he should have been able to get to work”. Hell the snow plows didn't come through my area till the day after he had called in. I know he works for a hospital, but when even ambulances are unable to get through the snow; why should someone who lives 32 miles away be required to drive it by some pencil pusher who lives 2 blocks from work. Yes I was serious that around 50-60% of the roads in my state were closed by the highway patrol and…
