My metrics have improved by at least 100% so I am no longer at risk of being fired. I got a Dr's note for my intestinal issues (apparently not ibs, we don't know what's wrong. many tests ahead of me). For the part about how my husband attempted to get a job with my company under a different campaign. The trainer for that campaign is homophobic. We are gay. (Ftm and mtx nonbinary, we both present as male) My friend who is ftm joined the campaign, the trainer specifically asked for preferred names and pronouns, and never called my friend by them. The trainer also showed extreme distaste for the community with some comments and jokes between herself and another trainee. My husband remembered that the trainer started treating him with less respect and the random removal happened shortly after he referred to me as…

Half of my coworkers are highschool kids working their first or second job. I consider them my friends, as most of us don’t take our job seriously (fast food). At least three put in their two weeks notice on Halloween, and two more are planning on leaving in December. We are paid minimum wage, have had understaffing issues for months, and are over worked. I’m waiting on my drivers license at the end of the year, and then I’ll be joining them. Something to finally look forward to at work. P.S.: My manager has been on thin ice for a while due to his inability to hire and keep employees. His supervisor has told multiple employees at our store that she might have to fire him 🙂

My manager is the type to make you walk on eggshells. Asking them a basic question like, “how do I do this?” or “would you like some help with that”. Or even something on the level of small talk. You’ll get attitude for it and a disgusted/angry look. Even if I’m doing my job right and going above and beyond; I’ll still get pressure and anger about it. It never feels like enough even though other people are always cheering me on or complimenting me; to my manager it seems to always be the opposite Other coworkers always hint at the same thing happening towards them and the manager will even be disrespectful to customers and new coworkers (scaring them off) then they pull that whole “no one wants to work anymore” BS. I love my job and enjoy it very much but the manager is horrendous and has no…

So yeah… I work at a Starbucks and have increased my hours, but still have to have multiple side gigs to even pay my bills. I just got cut off of food stamps because I got a raise at work. It's just a lot of stress everyday for every little thing. I think I handle it well, but I don't always want to handle it. I don't know if I see myself living like this for too much longer because burnout keeps creeping up on me. I love my coworkers and I do have fun, but wonder if it's worth the money and what my time is worth etc… idk just a rant, I know a lot of others around me feel the same way and I just feel stuck.

Salt Lake Red Cross staff unionized! Yay! My husband is even considering moving his “home base” to join if he can't get the local one unionized. (which could be difficult to get locals on board, because Utah…)

So, I currently work part time in an opticians, and while I love what I do it just isn't what I want to do forever. I've always been artistic and for 6 years I've dreamed of making a career from my art. I'm planning on applying to university to do Illustration so that there's some structure to my development and so I can meet more people who share my passion (thankfully I love in a country where student loans are available, repayments don't start until you're earning significantly more than the equivalent of full time work at minimum wage, and the debt is wiped if not repaid after 30 years) In December, I will (hopefully) be hosting a table at a local makers market, I'm just waiting on confirmation that I will have a table. I'm making designs for stickers, creating original artworks, and getting pieces ready to have prints…
