Antiwork

I just landed what would’ve been my dream job a few years ago. Project admin making 65k with only a few years work experience and a GED, of course I lied about all that! But I hate it I just want to be home or at least flexible. I’m even considering trying to find a lower paying remote job just so I can be home. I feel so lost because this is exactly what I thought I wanted and it’s most definitely not!

So as a preface, I work one on one with kids. Everyday we have a certain number of kids that we bounce around to during our shifts. We know who we have in advance because we are all issued i pads with our roster of kids for the day, this is how we know who we have and when. My job hasn’t always been the best with notifying us the employees when a kid is going to be out, sometimes it’s not their fault cause kids just don’t show up (sometimes it’s parents fault) leading to employees waiting for kids who get cancelled out for the day (we do get paid waiting hours) Recently though I’ve run into a problem, I will know a kids not gonna be there via parents and coworkers telling me they will be out for a bunch of reasons, this has led to me assuming…

It has become harder and harder to take off more than a day here or there, and when I do, it is mostly for appointments or because I’ve been sick (which I rarely get sick). Even when I’m off I get the occasional message to do something. Noah is very nice boss who has helped me a lot. Once in a while noah seems to really not think my personal life is important. Noah does let me have sort of a flexible schedule. I can come in a few minutes late so I drop off kid at school. That’s cool. On very heavy snow days, Noah lets me work from home. As long as it is not more than a couple days. Last year I had a mental health crisis. I was really struggling and asked for time off. Noah connected me with someone and I was out on medication.…

I’ll keep it short since I have a meeting with him soon lmao But essentially, there’s a 3 day conference in December for about 300-400 of our staff. The initial invite was sent back in June and I said I couldn’t go. I said I wasn’t comfortable with attending an indoor conference with multiple hundred people w/ COVID still happening. Nothing was made a big deal until this week. My boss emails me and asks if I changed my mind and how COVID isn’t really a factor anymore (lol). I said I still wasn’t comfortable but I’ll let him know for sure by Friday my final answer. He then schedules a call with me this afternoon called “Conference talk”. So I’m anticipating to be pressured to go when I already said no! I’m worried he & the company can use this against me but the invite DID say attendance wasn’t…

After uploading my resume, if you want me to re-enter the information that I just uploaded, I don't want to work for you. Jumping through hoops so that you can assert dominance is BS.

Hello. I am a lead teacher at a childcare facility (part of the school district so not really a day care, more like school applied to kids birth-4. Still have curriculum, standards, and objectives to grade, etc) and I’m not sure this workplace is right for me. I started here in May 2022. There has been a considerable amount of drama but in summary our room is split in half, infants and toddlers. I was hired as the infant lead but the toddler lead was abandoning the assistant teacher to hold babies. So because I really like the assistant and didn’t like watching her get dumped with all the work I switched sides. Now that lead isn’t lead anymore so really nothing of importance happened but still a headache. Anyway. After having to deal with that was only the beginning. I am beginning to see the unfair treatment that the…
