The volunteer group that I left earlier this month is now threatening to harm my future educational or work related prospects

First of all is this legal? They said as per their agreement I have to stay one more month til they find a replacement for me. And that I don’t have a choice in that matter. I have repeatedly asked leave from them and never got a reply back. In a previous post, I explained that I was getting bullied by a senior member of the group and it made me hate the volunteer group so much. I stayed out from most of the online zoom meetings and I didn’t get much support from the so-called team members. Now the HR of this group is threatening me. I hate these people and they can’t believe why I can’t commit to their unreasonable tasks.

Just a reminder that HR is never in your corner as an employee. Don’t

Manager wouldn’t let me leave for a family emergency so I quit :)

I had a pretty bad family emergency today which merited a 10 minute phone call with my mom and another 10 minutes with other family members and the police. I was absolutely sobbing in front of my coworkers and customers and didn’t even ask to go home. My manager made nasty comments and acted like she didn’t believe me and that I can’t leave early because she has problems too. Well, I mulled it over while sob-working, and decided fuck it. I start another job soon, I’m leaving quietly while no one’s looking. There’s was absolutely no reason for my manager to be so cruel to me on a slow day with a strong staff. So? Guess what? I’m leaving now AND you’re down a person on staff completely. Treat your employees with kindness. We are human beings, not robots.

Bosses who say they treat you like family are the biggest red flag.

My father in law has been working for this pond company for some time. Though he isn't their employee because he is working there through a job agency, he has been there for years now. To the point that his peers love him and have given him a nickname. He went from the warehouse to construction crew, in which he doesn't get paid the same or is allowed to get any bonuses for Christmas at the end of year. He has been there for two years and he seen how they treat him and his peers extremely poorly. He loves the job and seeing the finished construction project and they completely abused it. They have him in their youtube channel working and even got facebook post about him saying how great he has been doing. However, they are abusive and he spoke about their racist behavior, over working, and simply…

How the hell does this count as being alive?

I have an ok job in marketing, standard deal here (not in the US) which is 9 to 18. The bosses allow for semi-flex hours meaning if you're late, just make up the difference. But… Almost every day, I got chores to do around the apartment or stuff to pick up. When I'm done, it's around 9pm and I'm already physically and mentally tired that I only want to shower and sleep. No time for hobbies, socializing, or for myself on the weekdays. The weekend is the only time I have to relax and it's still not enough to reduce the piled up “burden”. It's a living alright, but I sure don't feel like I'm alive.

Would you do a two hour interview for a part time job?

I’m gonna withdraw my application but I just thought it was outlandish. I already did one interview now a second round with multiple people for two hours straight for a PART TIME job, not to mention it’s contract till like January….and there will be more rounds! Just crazy for a part time job. The process should reflect the position. Curious if y’all would do it
