Antiwork

Asking for a friend (no really!) my friend got a job with a nonprofit a few months ago. They have a HUGE annual event critical to the nonprofit’s mission and my friend has been one of only two people on staff making it happen. She’s been hustling hard but her boss is non-communicative and scattered so it’s been tough. This organization and position in general has had a ton of turnover in the last few years. So a few weeks ago, after a great performance review, he called her into his office and said she wasn’t doing a good job and asks too many questions and he needed to see improvement pronto. She was confused and asked for clarification and he said “why do you always get defensive?” A couple days later he randomly brought her in again and said “I’m about to kick you out the door” and told…

I have a year's experience with cleaning and desinfection at a healthcare facility. 5 hours a day, small collective, good pay, boss was very helpful and human to everyone. I had to quit this job because of moving across the country (family reasons). Since then i've been jobless for almost 5 months. I applied to over 20 places since.
