I'll make this quick. I got the job at a local retail store (Job A) paying $12/H. Couldn't negotiate a higher wage. Just found out today (5 days after getting accepted for $12 job) that the job I originally wanted (job B will pay me $20/H) wants me to start in a week. What do I do? Should I tell job A that I found a better job and that I'm not coming in tomorrow or should I work job A until job B is ready. For more info, I'm good financially right now, mainly just trying to see if it's a good idea to start a job for literally a week then quit and move to the next one.
TLDR; lied to a recruiter and said I wasn't looking for any more jobs after I took the offer, will probably take a different job in a few weeks/a month tops. So I was laid off from my job with no notice (fucking at will employment), and as I moved recently I had very little money and needed a job in a week or less. I applied to several jobs in my field, several basic temp jobs, and several restaurant positions. I got three offers, two for restaurant work and one for a temp-to-perm gig. I told everyone involved I'd take a few days to think about which one I'd go with, and during that time I got a call for an interview in one of the jobs in my field. I decided to take the temp-to-perm gig in the short term while continuing the interview process for the other…
Before working at my current job(which also sucks)I applied to work at a gas station since it's a 10 minute walk away, I went in, asked to apply and they told me to go through their website and all that stuff. Found out the salary was 15$ an hour and thought I could work with it. When the time came to do the interview she mentioned benefits early on and we somehow landed on the topic of salary. Apparently the hourly pay wasn't 15$, but 11. I wasn't happy at the fact that I was lied to and she tried to justify it with “good benefits”. So I purposefully ruined the interview by being as vulgar and passive aggressive as possible. Was it petty? Perhaps, but I didn't appreciate having my time wasted so I decided to waste a bit of theirs. Q:”Where do you see yourself in 5 years?”…
Less productive I wonder why?
I thought I would like this one because there's a lot of downtime but they're rushing my training and the excel spreadsheets confuse the crap out of me and it's only $14 an hour.

Very long story short: my boss’s boss has unrealistic expectations and believes herself to be the absolute queen of expertise for our department. It’s clear with every word she speaks that she has no idea what she’s talking about, and our department consistently performs far and away better than other similar departments at other organizations. Anyway, I’m being written up for poor performance because she doesn’t believe I’m meeting the unrealistic expectations that she’s never communicated to me. I’ve been absolutely riddled with anxiety and paranoia since she’s been clamping down unexpectedly. Friends and family believe it’s insecurity, or maybe the director of the organization is coming down on her so, as they say, shit rolls down hill. Whatever the case may be, the boss’s boss is using really demoralizing and manipulative language and I’m the one in her target. Anything anyone can say to try and alleviate some of…
