I need to quit. I’m going to quit!

Today I was a work (F23). I’m part time and I’m finishing up college right now. I’m seriously going to quit. A lady was given a horribly made burrito by someone who should’ve been fired a while ago for many things that we won’t get into right now. Anyways, my boss comes out while she’s explaining her issue to me and I agreed to remake her order. He tells her that it’s fine and she should stick with what she has because he doesn’t see the problem. The woman may have blown up in his face after that but he didn’t have to call her names. I didn’t know what to do in that moment and now I feel like shit about it. I would hate for someone to treat me like that in a restaurant. I’ve written a report and contacted higher-ups. I’ve also discussed my idea of quitting…

I am so frustrated and angry at the drought of positions for people with a Bachelor’s degree

I (23 NB) have a bachelors degree in psychology and I currently make $18.50 an hour as a patient care technician in a psychiatric hospital. While the job doesn’t require a bachelors degree, it is is encouraged for people to have one (people with a bachelor’s degree will get a $1 raise to their base pay, which is uneven throughout my department). I am barely making ends meet with the amount of hours I work. It is physically and emotionally draining and I have no energy to do anything like have a social life after I clock out. I have been looking for other positions but there are almost none for someone with a bachelors degree that make a decent salary. All of the positions I find on sites like indeed and glassdoor are only offering positions with the minimum requirement of a high school diploma/GED and offering $17/hr, or…

I feel like a fraud even being on an office job.

my job sucks. the company is ass. We get no paid holidays. everyone is either fucking everyone (especially managers) and if I have to pretend like I give a shit about my coworkers family issues I’m gonna shoot my brains out. I wanna make music with my bros and travel :/ I fucking hate work and I fucking hate our higher ups ( not my team lead. He’s actually a pretty chill dude tbh). Everything sucks

Take on 3x the work at the same pay… no thanks!

About this time two years ago, I was working for a large multi-national firm doing technical support for specific companies (ie: a company buys an annual contract for my services and my salary is paid by that contract — At this point, I had three open contracts). I had been in that role for about three years-plus, but I'd been supporting the product for over a decade, through an acquisition and a divestiture and another acquisition. I knew where all the bodies were buried (ie: major bugs, etc). Earlier in the year, we changed up managers for some of the teams, including mine and the manager of the tier 3 support team (for the worse; both guys were super-political, zero-technical skill, personnel managers). Of course, within months, people were resigning left and right until the tier 3 team dropped to zero members and on my team I was the last…

Anti-work for the Holidays

The only holiday song that I've been able to find that is anti-work themed: Elf's Lament by the Barenaked Ladies. Anyone know another?
