Antiwork

…just reinforcing it. Something is wrong when I'm fucking ecstatic to have two hours at the end of the day to sort of relax. Two hours…yup. Fucking ecstatic. I shouldn't get this excited over two hours. Broken system

I'm sitting here so upset and frustrated. I serve in the military and pass these pee tests all the time. I do fitness and drink gallons of water a day, so my pee is always clear. I do not drink alcohol, smoke or take any drugs. Why on earth would they make such a big deal out of it, considering it is a free labor application. I hate America sometimes!

Basically the title. This summer I started working at a small company in the US because I thought a smaller company would treat me better. I told one of my coworkers I was getting my PhD applications together. I kind of took this job right out of college because I wanted to see how I felt about a 9-5 before committing to grad school. The other day my boss calls me into his office and said he heard from someone in the office that I was applying to other jobs and leaving early to apply to other jobs. This isn’t true, I am applying to grad school and didn’t know that wasn’t allowed. He said this isn’t something I can just do in the meantime and I need to consider a 3-4 year commitment to the company. He said I’m making the company waste money to train me. This isn’t…

I am a part-time CSR for a small but growing insurance agency and have planned to switch departments to another department. The main reason I want to switch is due to the manager, she makes the job unbearable and I no longer feel comfortable there. Thus, I spoke to HR around the middle of SEPT about being able to transfer and the current manager was upset I wanted to leave. After some time she finally calmed down and decided to continue with the transfer and gave me the final date of OCT 31st. At first, I was not happy with the given date because I wanted to leave as soon as possible, but ultimately I decided to wait it out. ​ Fast forwarding to today we are just 2 weeks away from the end of OCT and I have received the worst news that the CEO does not want me…
