Antiwork

TLDR: I used to enjoy my job, but being understaffed and overworked has me ready to quit, the only thing keeping me there is the people I work with I absolutely adore most of the people I work with (boss isn’t alone on my DWTS list, there’s a couple coworkers on it). I get along with everyone, even the ones I’m not a fan of (that’s a story for another day). Today, though, I was ready to flip the table and duck when I took my lunch. We had 2 new guys join the crew, Monday, and we were insanely busy all day, but we had the manpower to handle training the new kids, running the registers and taking care of a crowd, today we didn’t. Today was just as insane as yesterday (we’re talking close to $1M in sales, each day), but we did not have the needed manpower…

Every job offer I look at seems to be well above my skill level. Even if I look at fast food restaurants they seem to require much more then the pay is worth and much more then I'm capable of doing. Do they make jobs seem really difficult on purpose or am I just stupid?

This past spring I switched to a new team after realizing there was no growth in my old one. This new team is filled with very nice people and I am learning a lot. However I feel like I don’t fit in with them at all. I sometimes think it is because it takes me a while to warm up to people but whenever I talk I feel awkward and I’ve even lost confidence in my abilities. I have no motivation whatsoever. I think my old team ruined it for me. I went through so much just to be told “it’s just a job, anyone can do it” “you didn’t have to feel this way” now I don’t think it was meant in a harmful way but it made me realized all my hard work was for nothing because when I chose to speak up there’s not much they could…

I worked at a small startup in Texas. Job doesn’t matter. This afternoon, a peer employee who doubles as our HR informed me today was my last day. It was a lay off, not a firing. A severance letter was received of which I would be getting about 2 weeks worth of my salary. However, 3 weeks ago my company restructured the PTO program. (Stay with me) In my severance letter, it stated I would be getting a severance but nothing about the remainder of my PTO. What grounds do I have to ask about my PTO remainder versus severance?
