I found a new job but have to wait a month to go there and I am still employed at a shitty company, how can I survive?

Long story short, I am employed at a very shitty company, thay treated me poorly. They push harsh targets on us and since I know I won't be staying I can't give a fuck about meeting the targets. Unfortunately I do need money so I can't quit on the spot or put my 2 weeks notice in just yet, I also don't want to be punished by being forced to come back to the office or having daily talks with the higher ups, so I am kinda forced to do the tasks I no longer care to complete. What to do? :C

Got offered a part time job when I applied for fulltime

I work as a teacher and currently have a fulltime job but don't get paid as much as I should be making with my years of experience since I'm like a fulltime sub. I saw a job posting at a school I really liked advertising fulltime for a few months with opportunity to continue. Applied and got the interview plus a callback but was told the fulltime was offered to an “internal applicant” but a partime job opened up. This told me right away that they probably 99% already knew this was going to happen before the interview. They offered me the “new” part time position but again I have a fulltime job right now with benefits which THEY KNEW. However if the part time job got close to offering me as much as fulltime heck I'd take it. They gave me a number for what I would make and…

I absolutely bombed my interview

I just completely fucked it. I believe in myself. I know I could do the job but it just feels like every interviewer wants perfection. How would you go about letting this go and keeing your spirits up?

Last year around Christmas, I got a pretty disgusted response from co-workers and middle management after refusing to chip in money for the department head’s Christmas gift

For context, I work at the in-house bank of a pretty successful local car dealership, and the department head in question runs two Buy-Here-Pay-Here lots along with the bank which I work for that finances all of the deals for said BHPH lots. Granted, he is a pretty nice guy. Easy to work with, pretty smart and practical, and I like working with him quite a bit. He's genuinely a good dude to work for, so I can understand people wanting to get him something nice come Christmas. I was in a bit of a financial bind at the time, my wife was student teaching to finish her degree, which is an unpaid internship. We were able to borrow enough from a 3rd-party student loan company to cover her half of the bills while she worked almost 60 hours a week between meetings, lesson planning, grading, etc. literally for free,…

My girlfriend was let go for “legitimate reasons”. The “tasks” in question were not even brought up in the interview or in the contract. She doesn’t work in sales or finance. This is a small company who doesn’t have those departments and wanted her to do 3-4 jobs at the pay of one.

No motivation to wanna work

I work as a water technician – kind of like servpro, except the company is smaller (7 employees). My job is pretty much dealing with mold and water in peoples houses and i make $16 an hour, my boss has us doing houses that pay him $40k+ meanwhile my paychecks are barely passing $1000 every 2 weeks of work. Why am i helping this guy get richer while im doing the work for him getting paid like dogshit?? My coworkers can’t wrap their head around this concept and apparently like bending over and taking cock in their ass for a guy who doesn’t give a fuck about them.

Name and Shame. I will go first: Elements Brands (Charlotte, NC)

They are small E-Commerce company that buys small consumer brands and scales them. The majority of employees (sales, marketing, and accounting) work from home. They have a warehouse that fulfills all their orders and that is where I worked. The warehouse logistics team has been hemorrhaging talent throughout the year. Leadership does provide folks with the space to grow and make improvements to their departments. The downside is that starting pay isn’t terribly competitive and when you take on more responsibility and expand your role (something they explicitly state as an expectation in their job posts) they do not compensate for that. Executive leadership empowers toxic directors. Purchasing comes to mind, specifically. There is a great deal of manipulation and deception. Senior leadership will lie and gaslight people to get what they want. They will ask people to take on more responsibilities, promise a promotion “soon” and then fire them…
