Antiwork

Where do I start? Working as a kennel assistant is not as grand as people may think it is. I’ve been working at my place of work for 2 1/2 years now and a year and a half ago…I loved it. However, the work has caught up to me. Being pulled hard by dogs, constantly bending squatting, help everyone else in the hospital, all the cleaning. I’m so tired for the the amount I get paid for, burnt out. I make $13.50 and today I just found out a coworker of mine who has only been workin leg here for 9 months makes more than me, only by 50 cents but still. I don’t feel appreciated, I keep getting blown off from getting a raise because they want to see improvement but how do I put my 100% in when I don’t want to work here anymore? I don’t have…

So to preface I guess. I had been working at a gas station kiosk for about 8 months. I was praised for my work by the previous operations manager. I really tried hard and exceeded expectations for this job. I was promised promotions and never had a single complaint about my performance. When we lost employees from that store, I got my girlfriend a job there and her performance was the same. With the exception of her not being able to do the outside trash because of her OCD, something I had discussed with the manager and was deemed okay. And then that manager quit and everything went to shit. A regular employee who was not fit to be a manager took over this position. I knew him from when I first started working there and he would always be there when I came in for my afternoon shift with…

Pretty sure I'll get my first union job offer this Friday, what difference can I expect coming for 12 year non union ?

So I'm currently between jobs as I transition from radio to marketing. At the moment, I'm taking care of my disabled mother, so I'm not even able to work full time, as she needs a 24/7 caregiver pretty much for the next few months. So, I figured this was a perfect time to take a few shots at these shitty job posters on Indeed. So, I applied to every horrible, soul crushing job listing in my area. I got an interview with one that posted a $12/hour job that had ridiculous requirements, so my plan went into full effect. I went dressed in a suit and tie, looking exactly the part. However, in my briefcase, I had a foot long meatball sub with extra marinara. I waited until I was called into the guy office, then proceeded with the plan. I walked right past the guy, ignoring his handshake attempt.…

I've always had a difficult time at work, and in my relationships. I always had references, always managed to get around, but I've overused them this year, after trying to look for a job for the first time in 3 years due to depression and a burnout. I need to work for myself and am working on that, but need a job now, not a permanent one, a short contract would be fine. I know not all employers will call references, but I can't expect that. I'm thinking I'll have to be honest from the start… Any experience with that? Please, be nice if you reply. I know this is an antiwork group, but I also know that some people are quick to judge… especially when it comes to mental health. Thank you!
