Antiwork

I was teaching full-time for the last 6 years – 1 year in England and 5 years in Canada. I spent the last decade of my life dedicated to this career, including getting 2 degrees at once in university. The pay and benefits in Canada are not horrible if you can land a full-time permanent position (some teachers are stuck supply teaching for many years). The issue was that the working conditions compared to 10 years ago are much worse with greater expectations and workloads placed on teachers. We also have our provincial leader and Education Minister hellbent on destroying healthcare and education. We had a strike and picketed outside right before lockdowns in -25 degree Celsius weather. When lockdowns started, I started my own art business as a way to escape teaching online with no resources (literally, no laptops no nothing and we had to buy our own things…

Has anyone used a professional service for this effectively when attempting to tailor their resume for a federal position? It seems like someone should be able to hack the USAJOBS process.

Just a quick bit of background, my manager has booked in a review of my training plan. I have been at this company for nearly three months so I am due a 3 month review and am still on probation. I am worried because I am the only earner and have two young kids.

Hey guys, just want to vent a bit I’ll probably get downvoted but whatever. Been a fan of this sub since it came out, I’m a leftist and support everything happening in the labor movement. So I’m a Production manager for a metal fabrication shop, and I have 5 helpers I’m in charge of. I’m known for being the “cool boss” , if you need a day off or want to take a vacation as long as you tell me ahead of time I’m cool with it, I can work around stuff if I know about it. If you call in sick or have car problems, I get it shit happens I don’t trip over that kind of stuff. I try to train everyone to the best of my ability and if they don’t understand something I work with them until they do. I’m out there In the shop doing…

TL;DR: I’m so busy that I sit in my office all day, and another employee thinks that this means I’m lazy and is telling everyone I don’t do anything. I’ve been at my current workplace for almost four years. I’ve hated it more and more which each passing year due to the unmanageable workload. It’s a non-profit, so I’m working two, sometimes three jobs, for the salary of one. (I have been applying to jobs left and right since the start of this year; I’m hoping to land a new one before the year is up). Within the four years I’ve been here, I’ve gotten three promotions. I think the biggest reason for this is because I used to have the mentality that going “above and beyond” would gain me respect and a higher salary. Spoiler alert: all it got me was more work on my plate. Sure, I got…

Finally after one gruelling year, I just quit last night by sending an email. This was the most toxic work environment ever – the trigger started when he basically laughed at me when I said I having personal issues and that I need to change my working hours. Nope. He really did not give a fuck – despite how much work I did. Well then bye!
