Antiwork

I feel very down and out with my job situation. I'm working a relatively easy job (Sterile Processing) for a hospital making slightly above $17/hr. I have health insursnce and dental insurance, which is great, but I can't help but feel dissatisfaction and frustration. I will be getting married in a month and will be adding my spouse and two kids to the insurance. When I do that my checks will be significantly smaller than they are now. Again, grateful for the insurance, but the pay is upsetting. I obtained my Master's in Public Health almost a year ago now and have been applying to jobs like crazy – probably 4 or 5 a month. I've been endlessly rejected but have got a few interviews. No luck. I honestly have no idea what is going wrong. I've got the qualifications for the jobs I'm applying to, but I definitely feel…

So begining of this year I changed employer and they were breathtakingly shit. So my probationary period was six months and a weeks notice either side. So I got to five months and three weeks and gave my 1 weeks notice. The HR person did try to BS me with its a week on our side month on your side I had the section of my contract that said weeks termination for either party highlighted and screenshared it with him, cheeky bastard trying it on like that. Thing is I don't what my name associated with this outfit but I need a job to pay the bills I do not want to put them on my resume I do not want a reference from them I don't want anyone ever knowing that I worked for this money grubbing shit heap of an outfit, fortunately they aren't that well known but…

I’ve worked in a few kitchens in my life. Worked as an apprentice chef and failed miserably at it, got treated terribly by the head chef and my colleagues. Now I’m working in another one as a kp. The chefs don’t give me any grief but they give front of house no chance whatsoever. Their mentality is kill or be killed. idk maybe they’ve got a point but I don’t care anymore I’m tired of the toxicity. This Is the last time I ever work in a kitchen in my life, even with my qualification. in fact other jobs with people can be just as bad. perhaps I will just resign myself as a non people person. retire Myself to the funds of the hardworking taxpayers

I work in a wear house and last night a guy died of a heart attack at work. He was only 45 yo. We are very short staffed because nobody wants to work for us and the pay is bad. The management asked him to help out with the night shift while also doing the day shift. I talked with him the night he died and he said he was exhausted doing 80 hours and was going quit next week because he couldn’t take it anymore. What really pushed him over the top was,during the night shift, one of the most experienced drivers in the shop up and quit, so he had to take on all the extra work. He died 2 hours later. The shop have us 2 days off, and now we are so far behind that they are making everyone work harder to make up for it.…

Got t-boned today. My first thought as soon as I felt impact was “damn my insurance is going up; how am I going to afford this.” My LITERAL FIRST thought Not “I can feel glass raining down on my face and hair, am I okay?!?” but “My insurance is going to go up and I can’t afford this.” This cannot be all we humans are destined for.
