What interests you in this role?
So I (24M) used to work for a skilled nursing facility (Snf). Basically an old folks home but with people who are sick or need medical assistance. There I worked as a Nursing assistant (cna) or someone who assists the nurse in caring for the patient (changing them, repositioning, feeding, ambulation, ect.) Anyways as is usual in these places we are way over ratio and understaffed, each cna would typically have 15-19 patients and many incontinent. As you could imagine this is neither safe nor sanitary. With this many patients, it should be that the charge nurse would evenly split up the patients with the cna's so that we all would have relatively equal patients. Unfortunately, this was not the case. In the facility there was alot of workers from one particular ethnicity (I will not specify which one) and they would always stick together. They were a tight knit…
So I’m a kitchen potwash, and the company I work for pays very well. 20k a year is the most I’ve earned in a job and I don’t think I’d be able to get sutch a high paying job again as I’m not very skilled or tallented. So 20k a year for washing pots pans and dishes is alot for that job. So I can only imagine what people earn for jobs better than mine at the same company doing all the inventing and tech jobs… Anyway, the point I wanted to make. I want to leave becuase the job is painfully dull and mindnumbing, I can feel my sanity slipping away doing nothing but wash dishes all day looking into a sink. I’ve been having to get up earlier than Im used to so I can get here on time and wearing gloves so my hands don’t compleatly dry…
I’m not feeling my new job
For a number of reasons. Big reason is I can't stand most of the people who work in this department, especially this arrogant asshole who's been training me and acts like I'm incompetent. This is my 2nd week in and already I kinda dread coming into work. I wish I didn't quit my old job, but returning there isn't gonna happen. I dunno what to do except suck it up, quit, or try to transfer to a different department. I'm not sure if they'd let me since I'm still really new.

My new boss says I’m whining a lot.
Let me vent a little and tell me if I’m really whining. I’m not from the USA and I work at school. When Covid broke, I found out I was pregnunt and we kept the baby. The law in my country is rather nice and I had a year and a half of paid maternity leave (not much money but OK) and I could apply for another year and a half of unpaid leave. I decided to come back to work when my daughter was a year and 8 months old. They didn’t ask me about the schedule, so I assumed it was regular 8-4 working day 5 days a week. Instead they put me for classes which start very late (at 1 p.m.) so I have to stay way later than everybody. They also told me as I have mornings without lessons I can do some extra work (finding…
This is what your American government really thinks about the lower and middle classes. Apparently we are Freddy for wanting living wages. They go on to say the service sector needs to stop hiring, but more importantly, stop “raising wages.”
