Stress is an understatement..

I’ve been at my job for over six years.. small mom and pop warehouse and the past year I’ve been the only employee running all the day to day operations.. two weeks ago I get told they are closing at the start of the year now I’m scrambling trying to find a job because guess what bills just don’t stop. I genuinely can’t believe they couldn’t have given me a longer notice considering the time and effort I’ve put in for over 6 years

My Job continuously disregards my availability.

This is a bit of a rant, a bit of a request for advice. I work at an overstaffed and underfunded clinic that, when I was initially hired and trained back in August, I very specifically and clearly stated my availability as Monday through Thursday. As this is a Monday through Friday job, I didn’t think this would be an issue. At first, thankfully, it wasn’t an issue. The manager at the time said that they would just process Approved Time Off (ATO) requests for my Fridays off until a more permanent change could be made, which was fine at the time. For the first two months, this is what we did. I would submit ATO and would be off that Friday to work my other job, a charity position at a local school I do out of passion rather than pay. However, the next two months, leading us to…

Why do some colleagues love to brown nose

As in “Oh Manager here you go here is everything” We have a colleague on our team. He has been out for 6/7 weeks and his first day back in the office is today. We work on a service desk and we have been busy with issues (As in we have been none stop) so our store room is a little messy, nothing a good sort out won't resolve (We started the other day before the calls come flooding in and got part way through one section) He has now emailed everyone including our director that the room is a mess and complaining. getting director approval for his grassing. Yes I know the room is messy. He might not understand it, we've been exceptionally busy

Scheduled to work all the holidays

I worked thanksgiving and I’m scheduled to work Christmas Eve, Christmas, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day as well. I’m a nurse. I knew that becoming a nurse I would have to work some holidays but it’s not fair that I work all the holidays while other nurses get some holidays off.

So which of your CFOs wrote this article?

Apparently we are less productive and more stressed because we no longer have separation of work and home through commuting. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/12/18/worker-productivity-is-falling-at-the-fastest-rate-in-four-decades.html Worker productivity is falling at the fastest rate in four decades

Boss said I can’t have my camera off

I work remotely for a tech company – the team I mainly work with is a mix of international and US based. We frequently have what are for me 630AM meetings (my other US members are an hour ahead so 730 – which is still too early). This was not something told to me in the interviews and if I had known I probably would not have accepted. I’m a night owl, my job is a lot of independent work so in my previous roles I would work around 9/930-12 then work again around 2/3-6/7. Waking up at 6 for this meetings has been destroying my internal schedule and day to day energy. I frequently can’t sleep for hours the night before these meetings because I’m dreading waking up. This morning I was present for the meeting but had my camera off because it was a particularly rough wake up.…
