Paid one extra month and not going back to work

Started a job a few months back; didn’t get the proper training and didn’t really fit the ultra corporate world. I agreed that it wasn’t a good fit; I was the person who voice it first. Main reason was productivity, workload, terrible leadership waiting for me in 2023. Funny enough they were happy for me to stay another extra month « to finish up projects ». Well you may think, how generous. How generous to give me another pay check while I work around people that decided they didn’t want me there no longer either. That training was a hassle. How funny that it’s a productivity issue for them but I’m still trusted for another 30 days budgeting advertising. How funny. I refused. The manager didn’t tell me their policy was to pay the next month regardless of me going or not. They were banking on me being desperate. I refused and…

I want a raise and think I deserve one

I am getting an evaluation on Monday and during the past year+ my department has been short staffed. At one point it was just me. Can I reasonably make the argument that I've been saving the place money by being the only one/working short staffed and therefore deserve a raise? I haven't always done the work of multiple people, but many times I have.

Employer Played Dirty

I asked for a raise because I am grossly underpaid and its extremely hard to make ends meet. IMMEDIATELY after sending the email to the employer, they suddenly gathered everyone for a short meeting about our FIRST performance review. One hour later, I received an extremely low performance review and that's right after I asked for a raise. What's worse is the people you think you can trust are the one that backstab you. I HATE corporate America.

I was blind to the red flags

TLDR at the bottom Yesterday ended the saga of my first job away from food service and into administration. Accepting their job offer was the decision I ever made, and I wish I had prior knowledge of the red flags these people were practically waving in my face. They brought me in to cover for their office manager while she was on maternity leave. They liked that I had no prior experience because it meant they could assimilate me into their way of doing things. What followed was three months of half-assed training where the office manager was only in three days of the week and spent half of that time training someone else as well. Fair to say that when she left to have her baby, I barely knew what I was doing and there was still a large portion of the job I had no knowledge of. I…

I think I just hate working

Im a 19m and literally have hated every form of working I’ve done in my life besides high school and college. I worked 2 jobs in fast food in high school at like 35 hours a week and saved something like $15k and thought i was so productive but honestly I regret doing that and wasting my weekends commuting working 12 hour days washing fucking dishes Last week I started working at Lowes and i thought it might be better than fast food but I hate it just as much if not even worse. I hate customer service and having to deal with these peoples problems and them yelling at me about this and that it’s honestly just degrading for me and so awful I hate doing physical labor I had a lawn mowing business that was successful but dealing with all the problems with the weed wacker and all…
