Antiwork

I had been in food service my whole life unable to afford to continue schooling. I just got a job as a medical intake rep. I thought having an office job with a set schedule would decrease my amount of mental breakdowns, but it has just managed to make me angry at how the corporate world is not much better than food service. I'm convinced now that I will die cold and dead inside without having lived my life.

my manager asked my friends cousin (her friend) and then my friends cousin asked my friends mom about me missing 3 shifts (for a broken car) because she knew i am close with them and didn’t believe me. can i do something about this? it turned into an entire thing and i feel it was unethical of my manager to do this even if she felt i was lying. she could’ve asked me for some document. is this something worthy of reporting?

Seriously, this has been dragging on for a year. My company makes us jump through all of these hoops, like play the role for a minimum of 6 months. And then once you are 'deemed fit' you spend 6 months interviewing with various managers at various levels to get them to sign off on your promotion. Once that promotion is approved, they won't announce it for another 2 months or even tell you what your new compensation will be. They don't give you anything in writing until a day before your promotion goes into effect. It's all verbal promises up until then. I'm so exhausted by this whole process, and of having to wait in a state of suspense for them to give me the paperwork and announce it. I only feel apathy now. It doesn't feel 'real' and I resent the whole process. What is the point of this…
