Are there any good jobs for people who aren’t in tech?

So I have worked for many years in retail, then different positions in clinics like surgery coordinator, and now I work in what is supposed to be logistics but is really a lot of customer service. I change jobs fairly often because it is the only way to get a pay increase. I’ve gone from making $11 something six years ago to making $22 an hour now. The thing is all of these jobs are insanely stressful. My newest position is awesome in that I get to work from home and have flexible hours. However the stress is getting to me. I have worked overtime almost every day for the last few weeks and I am still behind. The place is a god damn dumpster fire. But…every place I have worked for the last six years has been the same. Horribly disorganized and you are expected to do the work…

Boss is Selling the Company. Could Use Advice

Soo I work in a small company in a conservative area of Washington State. We used to have about 10 employees here and despite my boss's terrible marketing strategies we've been moving and growing after about 5 years of me working there. I definitely recognize that I have been a major part of the company's success and ability to hire on more employees. Boss bought a new house in Bumfuck, Idaho and says that he likes the area but we all know that he is really moving because he's terrified the government is going to hold him down and vaccinate him. I digress. ANYway…he is selling the company to a competitor in the industry and retiring. Good riddance. I have been ready to ask for another raise since I got bumped up (+$3.00) from minimum raise a year ago. I'm aware that inflation keeps rising and I need a raise…

Why does an employee who is rude, demanding and makes a fuss when they don’t get their way are always the ones who end up getting their way?

I’ve noticed that it’s always the rudest people who always get their way. Example, an employee could be scheduled to work a 12hr shift that day but since they don’t like it they’ll just pitch a fit, complain and just be all around rude and end up getting out of it with 0 consequences. What ends up happening is that the person who is calm, respectful and tries to stay drama free ends up getting stuck with the shift. Why is this? Like will being a demanding bitch just help my life become easier? You’d think this type of behavior would more often than not backfire but instead it is rewarded by management by giving them their way. I see this type of stuff happen in and outside of the workplace. I’m not good with conflict and I don’t know at what age I became terrified of it but for…

Old life insurance employer says I owe them money.

Do they have a case do I need to pay a former insurance brokerage that employed me and now wants money from me that they say I “owe” them for a policy that was charged back? This is also a lesson to people looking to get into the life insurance industry. Many of these employers are also predatory towards their employees not just their customers. Make sure if you get into this industry you are clear on their policies before you do anything!

The worst thing about trying to find a job that will actually pay what you’re worth is that now in the year 2022, among all the other scams that exist, there are also JOB scams. This is the first time I encountered this and I was so desperate for it to be real that I almost fell for it.
