Antiwork

I might have had the worst job ever. I was a security officer at an impound lot where they brought all the repo'd vehicles. I processed all incoming cars and processed all outgoing cars while dealing with the “customers” face to face. I was attacked on multiple occasions verbally and physically, had guns pulled on me and was followed home by whole families of enraged lunatics for $11hr I am prepared to share these stories, just ask.

This has been the worst year of my life. Lost my job in January after believing in the lies from a start up company. After 8 months and well over 1000 applications later I finally found an ok temp job. I've become depressed and angry over this year.

Also, the current boss goes to her church which she feels like things would get awkward there, but I told her that feelings have the potential to be hurt somewhere so to just do her, but she wants to kindly let them know. Thoughts?

I moved cross country for my husbands work in jan 2019 and applied as a “property manager” at a real estate company. The ad read more as a regional/ asset manager so the job title alone was a bit confusing. When I met with the owner of the company he pivoted and described a new position as a community manager for 3 buildings for a new portfolio they were about to get. Since the position and portfolio were new I didn’t entirely understand the position as he didn’t have it fully fleshed out but accepted it. A couple days in I figure out this position is in no way right for me since I has always worked more in a back of the house capacity, this was face to face interactions and leasing etc. I convinced the guy who was basically the owners right hand man to let me have…
