Antiwork

I have been working a year and a half in this organization, I am really passionate about education and I put my heart on it. My manager left last week and he offered me his job, since I have been basically his shadow and a great team, would cover for him every time he was out of office. I was basically the assistant manager, So naturally I said yes. I was waiting for the offer, just to find out our director gave it to someone else from another department in our organizations great worker but never worked our field and has no idea how to manage our programs, classes, etc. There is no one else to train him other than me. Today I talked to the director and asked why he had gotten the job and not me and really never gave me a valid reason other than “he has…

Begin replying to “thank you” with one of the two phrases, as appropriate “From each according to their ability!” (if you helped with something you are particularly good at) “To each according to their needs!” (you are doing something that would be condescending to say the other person couldn't do, but you still helped anyway. customer service reps and cashiers can say this instead of “have it your way”) I genuinely do not mean this as a joke. If you are already willing to fall on your sword, I propose this.

a couple of years ago, i quit a job after my contract for the season was up. quitting jobs has never been a big deal for me because my jobs are shit. as soon as it doesn't work for me anymore, i'm out. i thought everyone was this way but, leaving, i was so surprised that other coworkers seemed to believe this was all they could ever do. the common belief was that maybe one day they'd be manager or something and this shit would all be worth it. manager or not, as long as you stay, all it's going to be is more of the same. i recently left another job i'd been working for a year now. telling this to acquaintances when they ask how work is going, i honestly feel like i'm some kind of criminal now. what it comes down to for me is that i…

Currently I’m working at a large urgent care chain in NJ as an X-ray/ med tech I can’t name it but there buying up everything they started in NY. I received a job offer from another urgent care but it’s a national franchise it owns around 7 centers. Currently I make 37 an hour with a differential and it comes out to around 85k a year. The new job offered me a better work schedule at 40 an hour this would come to 82k a year. 3k loss a year right now soon to be 5k after my annual raise. I make more at my job now because of a differential and bonus.The thing is this new job offered me a lead position. My job title would be lead x ray as opposed to regular x ray. It seems this title is meaningless because only 1 other x ray tech…

Disclaimer: my gf (21f) did this, I (19m) am writing this. I had been sick last week and got a positive covid test. Fast forward to the start of my girlfriends work week this past Saturday, she started off with the same symptoms as me and it progressed even further into a pretty severe fever for two days, to the point she couldn't even hold down water. She obviously thought she had covid and works in food service so didn't want to get others sick. I should mention this puts her at 3 points (out of 4 available yearly) and she just started 3 months ago. She loves this job and had a hard time getting one, what can we do?

I know it's unprofessional, but this job is destroying my mental health. My biggest dilemma is do I include my reasons for quitting? Or just say “I quit” and then ghost them?
