Money is the real problem

Money is an illusion created to control and limit human potential. Energy is the real currency and those who can manipulate and use it has the real power. Countries are just created to harvest and contain human energy and we are all under different forms of subconscious mind control. There ends my Ted Talk

Its all about numbers.

Call centers are all about metrics, unable to meet it means you're out. And it keeps on increasing, imagine solving a complicated issue within 7-10 minutes. Imagine replacing 1 detractor with 5 promoters, i feel like a machine a very inefficient machine for not meeting the metrics.

My boss “forgot” my availability and scheduled me overlapping a shift with my other job.

I work at 2 bars. At the tiki bar, I'm a bartender. The bar is new (opened in October of 2021) and is still catching its sea legs, but promising and fun. The cocktails are super creative and intricate. I'm pretty well-respected and am often delegated the responsibility by my boss and other bartenders of coming up with custom requests on the fly. I worked pretty hard over the pandemic lockdown to learn everything I could about mixology and cocktail crafting to raise my financial floor and get a job as a bartender.

Above and beyond effort to make significant improvements that benefit the entire department go unappreciated (underappreciated)

I graduated from University around 5 years ago with degree in Mechanical Engineering. Ever since I've been working in an engineering position for a supplier within the automotive industry. When I started the compensation seemed fair for a new graduate (~$63k/year + benefits). In my time there I've made significant contributions and some huge improvements in my department. The most significant being developing a software application to improve the way we process test data. This massively reduced the time and effort needed to process and summarize the data as well as made it possible to view and present data in ways that weren't possible before with the outdated application in use when I started. Meanwhile I have a coworker who started earlier in the same year (also right out of the same University, same degree, and working in the same department). I learned early on from him that his starting…
