On a Quora thread asking about what to do when you need to change your available hours due to mental health. As if changing your availability *isn’t* an attempt to take responsibility for your own happiness. This is a manager btw.

Trying to break into the IT field, haven’t had money to go to school, but I definitely know enough about computers to fake it through an entry level job. How exactly can I make a fake degree and credentials look believable on my resume?

No internet on work computer?!?

I started a new job today so I don't know the circumstances if there are any. We don't have internet at our workstation. We have a central computer to use if we need to get on the internet. We have email but can't even check the weather. I can't get on a suppliers website from my desk to check stock or download models…wtf. I'm glad I have my audiobooks on my phone. I work in engineering.

Highly toxic boss! Should I quit or stay?

This is my first job as project manager at a software company. It's been 3 months I joined the job and I found my boss is highly toxic. Every now and then, he enters the devs room, picks someone and shouts at him. Besides there are no breaks, no any motivation, no appreciation, no celebration, no extra activities. Just work, work and work even during holidays and festivals. This is the second time he shouted at me in front of all for no valid reason, for a project task i wasn't meant to be looking after. Last time he blamed me for the mistakes I didn't commit, I countered him back in front of all and he didn't enter the room for next 2 days. This time I didn't speak a word, stayed silent, thinking about quitting this toxic job place in few days. I have always thought of quiting…

Not sure if this is the right place. But will FMLA cover absents to care for my daughter for 3 days when she gets surgery? If I don’t get FMLA my jobs threatening to fire me over her having surgery and having no PTO.

Jobs for the anti-work philosophy?

Apologies if this goes against the theme of the group but I need some advice here. Been going through a rough patch in terms of mental health and money. Been pretty badly depressed, anxious, and unemployed for over 6 months now due to how things ended with my last job. I basically do not have the mental fortitude to deal with being humiliated by management the way my last job did. Do you folks have any job recommendations that go along with this ideology? Is there such an industry that one could apply to with no college where I could just keep my head down in a safe, clean environment and just save some money for a while? My faith in the working world is already at an all time low, but any advice would be appreciated.

Advice on how to avoid a meaningless task

I apologize for how long/vague this is, I want to keep a little anonymous. I work in medicine, and the issues I’m referring to are within our hospital’s computer system. Additional issues are that I’m on the grave shift, so communication between me and management is minimal. Last week there was a procedure change implemented (I had very little notice of this change), the goal of which was to correct a problem that our sister hospital was encountering. Their workload was deemed heavier than ours, so we’re taking preventative measures to help them instead of implementing the fix on their end. The fix almost triples the time it takes to perform the task, taking it from ~30 seconds to over a minute, which doesn’t sound like a lot but it clogs things up. I’m hit especially hard with this because my procedures on nights are already different, and I work…
