Company giving me a hard time scheduling 2nd interview, how do I politely gtfo? Anxiety is keeping me up……

Recently got an interview through a third-party recruiter and while he has been incredibly helpful, HR for the company has been making the interview process more difficult than it should be. Had 1st phone interview with her a few days ago but for whatever reason, their company is marked 'Suspected Spam' so I cannot receive any calls from them, it goes straight to voicemail. Called back immediately and interview went well despite that and her off-hand comments about COVID… The next day, HR manager left voicemail at 5:30 pm saying she wants to schedule 2nd interview ASAP but she's already leaving the office so call her the next morning. I call 8:40 am Thurs, it goes to voicemail, I leave a message saying Thurs and Friday are too short notice for me so next Mon or Tues is perfect. I ask for her to email since there's still issues getting…

CNA at a hospital. Our manager asked us to go to HR to tell them how awful everything is because she’s tried and they won’t listen. It backfired and she got in trouble .

Basically what the title says. Healthcare is an absolute mess right now. We are constantly understaffed and it’s starting to get unsafe for the patients. We can’t take care of everyone. Us CNA’s constantly talk to our manager about it and she’s very understanding. She tells us all the time that she tries but no one listens. A group of 3 of us went to HR and had a meeting Wednesday morning. It was a lot of “have you talked to (manager) about this?” “Yes, we have. She encouraged us to come talk to you too so you could hear it from the source and not just hear-say” Backfired hard. Should never have said that. And she got in trouble.

Already Crumbling

After over a year of abuse, 70+ hour work weeks and many sleepless nights due to stress, I have finally set up a meeting with the owners of my firm to put in my notice. It has been 6 months of meetings to express how burnt out I am and how I am at my breaking point, but I don't see any light at the end of the tunnel. I have been pumped and excited at the prospect of finally leaving all week… The issue is I can already feel myself crumbling and talking myself out of this decision. I am not good at quitting and letting people down. I have admittedly moved out of town just for an excuse before out of fear of dissapointing my boss. I need some help and motivation.

What should I do if boss is being dismissive of my W-2???

I moved this year and had sent my boss a message to confirm he knew this and confirm he sent my W-2 to my new address. I’m pretty sure he sent it to my old address and when I asked him about it he just said “I assume you had gotten your mail forwarded this should not be a problem” well dude, obviously the W-2 you sent last month did not get forwarded so resend my fucking W-2??? Any action I can take here? He’s a pretty nice guy but I don’t really feel like asking him again

Advice plz

So I am super anti work and have always been. I will leave a job without finding another when I’m disrespected and now have been doing gig work so I can work my own schedule- until I build something I’m passionate about. My question though is that my partner works an office job and is just absolutely miserable. She’s worked for this company for about 20 years and she’s super depressed and over worked etc but doesn’t know what she’d do if she left. I keep telling her she’ll figure it out and that this job isn’t worth it but she still stays. It’s getting to the point where I really can’t hear about it anymore, or see her this unhappy … but like. What do I do?

I ask my boss for a day off because I’m having PTSD flashbacks and then she tells everyone at work about it in a team meeting. Then gets super passive aggressive when I tell her it made me uncomfortable.
