I quit my job but I requested off from them because I didn't suspect to quot suddenly. I requests all my off days 3 months in advance. Two requests off are in the next coming Monty. Should I go ahead and inform her at the interview I need these days off or wait?

Got fired before my retirement, thinking about investing savings. Need advice

Hello everybody, ​ I've got in a very unpleasant situation. I was tricked by the company's new management, and now I'm unsure what I should do. ​ I worked for the architecture company for 25 years, and I planned to work for 2 more years, then retire and dedicate some time just to myself. I was in charge of checking the calculations to ensure that the building wouldn't crumble down in the event of a natural disaster. As you can imagine, this job requires a lot of expertise and attention to detail. It's also an immense responsibility since so many human lives depend on it. Because of my efforts, my company gained a stellar reputation on the market. ​ My previous management appreciated my skills and my expertise. That was until the company's owner decided to retire and sold it to his friend, who brought his protegee. She found out…

CNN couldn’t be bothered to get a person with even a semblance if impartiality to talk about ‘Quiet quitting’ (aka, doing the job one is paid for)

If you’re running through almost 2 employees every month, it may not be the employees that are the problem

Something positive.

While I have been through all the abuse and bs that most of us share on this sub over my 21 years of working since graduating high school, I am happy to say that I am now working jobs that treat me well, and pay me as well as they can for what they are. I am by no means working a dream job, or earning what I should considering my experience plus inflation, but I feel respected and appreciated. I have been working part time for my local community league for a year now, and working in a small retail shop for almost 6 months. Both pay above minimum wage and actually trust my knowledge and experience. I also don’t have to negotiate hours, and get paid for EVERYTHING I do. They also THANK ME, and tell me I’m doing a good job, which I’m sure many of you…

Do you consider places that have open interviews a red flag?

I fucking hate that little bell (rant).

I work at a deli and there's a little bell for customers to ring if I'm busy and I don't see them. About 50% of the customers just keep slapping the bell until I come over to them. It's such a stupid thing to get pissed about but for some reason it invokes a primal rage within me. I can hear the first ring, you don't need to keep hitting it. But nooo, Mr. Johnny Dumbfuck has to make sure the whole store knows he needs salami. The deli I work at is extremely understaffed and I have to fry chicken, bake chicken, cook rotisserie chicken, slice meats and cheeses, clean all the dishes and the slicer, stock shelves, prepare the chicken for tomorrow, and run the bakery and meat counter next me. I work 5 to 6 days a week. So I'm already tired, the last thing I wanna…
