Antiwork

I interviewed for an internal position 3 weeks ago. In the interview I was told I’d hear back the week of 10/3. I was out that week on vacation. I came back to work yesterday and checked out the internal careers site, to find the job was reposted the week of 10/3. I still have not received word I didn’t get the job or any feedback whatsoever. I contacted the recruiter via email yesterday. Have heard nothing, despite this person being active on IM all day. Like, am I overreacting here? You’d think you would treat the internal candidates a little better than an external one…

I didn't expect to post here one day but I need to vent. Sorry for my broken english. I started a new job a few months ago. I was recruited when I had been working elsewhere for 3 years. Given the better salary and more interesting work, I accepted despite the fact that it was quite far from my home (between 30 and 1 hour drive depending on traffic) and the relatively heavy schedules. During the interview, they asked me if I was planning to have children soon. It was already a bad sign but I had just bought a house and I needed the money. Now jumping to this morning. My bosses call me in their office to ask me why I don't smile when I say hello in the morning. They tell me that I look “in a bad mood” when I arrive. I tell them it's just…

I am the Head of my department of a company handling 60 Million in Annual revenue. I hate being the head because all the problems become my problem. I try to be a good manager because previously I had a good manager and I learned from him that my problems are mine and that I must not transfer to my co-workers and anyone who is working under me and that THEIR problems are mine too to handle. “The buck stops here” applies to this situation to a certain degree (English is my 4th language so please excuse if wrong saying). I see here constantly that managers do not know how to manage. A good manager knows how to… MANAGE. It's literally in the title. And it's always in benefit of the manager to be a good boss. I, as a manager, have to work 8 AM till 10 PM and…

My boss had her administrative assistant remind staff that National Bosses Day was the 16th and to make sure to take up a collection for a gift. The admin and I had never scene this level of tacky before. Boss has only been on the job a little over 3 months.

I work the night audit at a hotel and I've managed to more or less not work for 4-5 hours on a 10 hour shift each night doing the bare essentials to not get fired. My longest period without working is between 7-8 hours with only a memo to “remember to do “blank” tomorrow”. What's the longest period of time you've gone to work without actually working?

Don't text me about anything work related. Even if you did, a group text isn't a professional substitute for a message board, physical or digital.

Writing this as I take a dump. I spend 20-30 mins everyday taking a shit at work. That's 20-30 extra mins for me at home living my life.

“The president’s administration will defend the legality of up to $20,000 per borrower in student loan forgiveness in oral arguments in federal court on Oct. 12. The lawsuit is known as Nebraska v. Biden, filed by six conservative state attorneys general. The states—Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and South Carolina—argue that debt cancellation would hurt their revenues as well as the revenues of MOHELA, a student loan servicer based in Missouri. They also say the administration does not have authority under the HEROES Act to forgive the debt, which is the law they are using.” ​ I've paid off 30k on the debt, and this last bit would wipe it out. I only had 40k in loan. And with a degree, have only ever made poverty wages. I am disabled.
