I lost my job on Monday of seven years because of my poor attitude. I worked as an office admin for a doctor’s practice and did their insurance billing. When I started, it was a great environment, with what I thought were caring and sympathetic people. Unfortunately, in 2019, the manager who trained me, and was a wonderful office manager, decided to leave because the owner refused to pay her a salary appropriate to her position. After they left, the admin office feel to two people, myself and a part time employee, who was in school at the time, so she wasn’t around that often, most days not at all. I was not mad about that as there were two things that tempered it; 1. My coworker had been full time until she decided to go back to school and she worked well. 2. The owner said she would have…
Time to Move on I think
I started a new job at a small animal hospital. My job is pretty demanding as I handle finances and paperwork, which I don't have an issue with, but it can be stressful. Combine that with higher staff that don't know how to communicate, A bad HR system, getting sick with COVID-19 again, and someone who thinks that you're a creep and boom… Long story short about the last part… A former romantic interest works where I work, and I only say hello to them in passing. Apparently they didn't like it because their father saw me in the parking lot at work and confronted me about it. When I told my boss about it, she was furious. The only outcome we could muster was that the guy was trespassed and to just avoid the girl. A night or so later, I get a call from police saying “A third…
I quit my internship
I was doing an unpaid internship. I wasn’t enjoying it. I’d have anxiety. So today I quit. I was called immature for having accepted if i was gonna quit after only a couple months. Hopefully future employers don’t contact my boss because he will probably give me a bad review.
Rant- They don’t care about you
Just a bit of a rant here guys. On mobile. I changed jobs last year to work for an Ombudsman Service/deposit scheme (I'm based in scotland). It was better pay, work from home hybrid and seemed like a good step because I was bored and drained of what I was doing and I wanted a challenge and to lead a team again. I start, in a manager/team leader role, I loved my team and I dove in doing work for my job as well as the deposits side, I helped do projects and create processes for the business, I did tech support and testing for their new system, I worked overtime and busted a gut when their new system launch was a disaster (they data wasn't cleaned before migration). I created processes, spreadsheets, data recording for my team when our work started kicking off and was constantly praised about how…
First, what is a Third Place? A location of leisure that is not work or home, with regular patrons (to the point they have friendly rapport), no clear social tiers, and where people come to chill and chat but can leave at will. Often regular artistic performance is a part of the environment. (Think the bar on Cheers or Friends' Central Perk. For further reading see here at page 163.) In the West, this idea really started with the Ottoman's Turkic coffee houses, and the concept spread quickly across the rest of Europe, leading to social movements that eventually turned into full-blown revolutions. It seemed that having an IRL safe place to talk shit about your local trashlord was vital to actually overthrowing said trashlord. What I'm asking r/antiwork is: Do you have any place like this in your regular life? How has it survived? For myself, I've been a…
