Antiwork

I have been a bartender and a bar manager for the majority of my life. I was cutting dinner for the night ( veggies, garlic etc .) And I sliced my finger wide open. It took about 5 hours for it to stop bleeding. My partner was rather concerned but I just kept telling him it's cool it's a bartenders cut. It dawned on me how normalized it was to acknowledge I'm wounded and I just keep working. How many people out there have normalized being wounded on a job and just keep working?

Title explains a lot. After my second interview for a company I was told I didn't get a position due to lack of experience and “not seeing projects through.” All the examples I gave of projects, which were all the projects I worked on, were cut due to funding and the resolution was that the project wasn't implemented. I'm just frustrated because before I went to school I was told I didn't have the experience and now I'm being told the same thing.

I’m an anesthesia tech at a hospital. I make significantly less than the certified techs (i am not) despite doing 99% the same job. I’m talking 10-15$ less. Most places there is a pay difference but not a massive one, sometimes not one at all from what I hear. Whatever. They decided to increase the minimum wage to $x at the hospital. They said “anyone already making above that will be given an ‘equitable’ raise” so I found out today my “equitable” raise was 6 cents. I’m so insulted. I’m now making $1 more than people who clean the hospital and stock the warehouse. Those people were given multi dollar raises but I wasn’t even given 50 cents? I take part in codes and emergency airways. You’d think my skill set is more valuable than a dollar above the new minimum wage. Anyway, i’m livid. Is there anything I can…

As many already know, teachers everywhere are looking to leave the field. I questioned if I wanted to be a teacher while still in college, now 2 years later I’m finding it incredibly difficult to leave the profession. I’m looking into jobs like curriculum development, eLearning, instructional design, instructional facilitators etc… but I’m getting nothing back. I need some motivation to keep trying, are there any teachers out there that have made it out?

Yes you can discuss pay. Anybody who doesn't like it will get a letter from Dewey,Cheatham,& Howe LLP.
