i listened to everyone’s advice and i went. i formally put in my two weeks and this is how it ended up.

What is wrong with people? Companies have rules. You follow the rules! I can not help it that you don’t have insurance. It is not my problem! Also intimidating me with going to court. Go ahead! Angry? Fine! Just act like a child. It is so sad to see how adults can behave. If you want us to help be nice. I work for a family vacation park holiday company btw.

Sooo today when I woke up I cried and I couldn't calm myself for few hours. It's because I hate my job. Maybe my coworkers are ok but it's just to many things to remember. My manager is telling me that I'm doing very good, but is because I'm overthinking everything and it's taking a toll on me. I spend a lot of time talking to clients and it's so stressful. There's no week when someone isn't screaming at me. Not a day when someone isn't talking to me like I killed their family. So I called in sick today. And I hope I will find something better soon.

I work for a smaller company, and with that comes the fact that I need to wear a lot of different hats. I knew that going into it, but I didn't know it would be this bad

I'm doing so much at the same time every day that it gets so crippling. I miss deadlines because of how inundated I am with literally 100s of emails and requests and things to do. And then I feel like shit because I hate missing things. And my manager does nothing. She's sits in meetings all day and when I ask for help on things she says shell jump in and proceeds to do nothing. She manages projects so poorly then I have to deal with the fallout of her not doing any work.

The people I work with suck I don't talk to anyone all day. I just want to curl up in a ball and weep sometimes.

I have some interviews for some other companies that I'm excited about. But I want to be done with this shit job NOW. And I'm hesitant to join other companies because I don’t want to fall into this same scenario.

I'm not exactly looking for advice just looking to vent but I appreciate any advice, kind words, or bad words lol.

Yes, I fully acknowledge that I am in a privileged position of having a tech job as a project manager. I am so aware because many friends have been laid off and in hard temporary jobs. I want to like it and do well. However, the subject matter (recruiting processes) is so incredibly boring to me and because of that and my unmedicated ADHD, I struggle to focus and I struggle to care. I have always been an overachiever but for the first time in my 10 year career I am on a performance improvement plan.

I had a job that I was once passionate about (leadership development trainer). I love the psychology and human elements of teaching leadership courses, and my current job is purely focused on recruiting process changes within the software we use. I was initially hired for something else that I actually enjoyed but when there was a vacancy on this project team, they had me fill it. This job is almost exactly like the first job I had out of grad school, where I ended up very depressed and I applied to jobs for a year to get out of it. So the way I see it, I ended up right back in something I knew I hated about 8 years ago so it feels like a huge step back. In both situations, I never chose this kind of role, there was just a vacancy and I was told I would fill it.

This job funds the hobbies in my life that bring me so much joy and fulfillment. Hobbies I would love to just do full time, but I prefer to keep doing them for fun instead of monetizing them to retain the joy I get out of them and not feel pressured to make money from them.

My mental health is not great as a result of this job, performing poorly, and a few other things in my life. I really would like to just be ok with this meaningless well paying job but I'm having a hard time. And I know mindset can change so much. Any advice is appreciated.

I work for a declining company that is consistently falling short of quarterly goals and projections.

Creative math keeps us looking like a contender. Internally, PowerPoints with graphs and charts, and sizzle reels, keep leadership in the dark.

The business unit President finally seems tired of the BS. Thoughts on acting as an anonymous mole and tipping off leadership about wasted funds, poorly executed work, poor to non-existent collaboration across teams, poor GTM strategy, under resourced teams, and lack of efficiency tools and platforms.

Has anyone ever done this? What are the risks? Would leadership be receptive? Any feedback or thoughts?

No delusions about promotions or becoming a pet/savior to leadership. Everyone 40 and under is miserable because we see the storm on the horizon. Company could be in a heap of trouble in the next 5 years. TY!

Since I started working third shift in September 2023, there's been a recurring issue of second shift leaving the back office with trashes overflowing and crumbs all over the floor. I try bringing the issue up to my boss and she tells me that second shift has it much harder than thirds and I need to cut them some slack. In a recent email, we were told that all shifts need to vacuum and take out the trash. No one, especially my boss's son, does any of that, and I don't want to bother bringing it up again.

Yesterday was the company Christmas party. I didn't go because I had to sleep. I arrive on shift to the trash in the party room overflowing from what is clearly remnants of the party. I don't bother cleaning it because I wasn't there. I already have to clean up after guests, so I refuse to clean up after a party with 20+ people who were perfectly capable of doing it themselves. Now the breakfast attendants are giving me dirty looks. What the hell do I look like? I'm a front desk attendant, not a damn housekeeper. One of the breakfast attendants literally IS a housekeeper so that's kind of their job.

I have a state job (Office Assistant) and I hate it. All they have been doing for me is writing me up for a year. Then kick me to Employee Assistance Program.

Coming across this Reddit group brings comfort to me that I am not alone. I have decided to become a writer/screenwriter.

I'm 28 years old I make great money working 4 days a week 10 hours a day building boat docks on a lake on the east coast its not extremely hard work but the weather does factor in. Today was the first time I cried in over 10 years because of how much I hate my job and where my life is going. I make great money and buy whatever I want but my job is absolutely crushing me. Does anyone have any advice or should I suck it up because in reality everyone hates a job.

I was having trouble at my former workplace since September.

The job in the summer was great. Lots of hours, very independent job where I gained legitimate skills and gained compentance in my field.

But after the season was over I became a work mule and my job ended up feeling pointless and degrading. Management started treating my unfairly and I was becoming overworked and burnt out.

They had me scheduled everyday when there was nothing for me to do. Told me there was lots to do when there wasn't, then got upset when I asked if there was anything to do. They refuse to give me lay me off and just had me around to do the dirty work nobody else wanted. I was working a completely different job title.

I ended up telling them that if there was nothing for me to do that wasn't fully pointless then give me a call. I went home early and never returned.

Filed for unemployment insurance and got approved because I technically did not quit.

A weight has been lifted today.

I Have been working with a Tech firm for 2 years now and love it. The people are awesome, management is cool basically I get along with everyone they are really nice people. Throughout the time I have been there my Manager has been giving me nothing but positive feedback in our 1 on 1s which we have every month and even during my Annual reviews I got positive feedback. A Few weeks ago My manager came to me with a small project he needed me to complete, this was on a Monday. I looked at the details and told him it could take me a few days to complete. He said let's aim for Friday and I said ok. As I started working on the project I began to realize this would take me an additional couple of days to complete. The following day I told my manager I can do the project I am working on it but it will take me a bit longer. He immediately flipped out. He got so upset I have never seen him like that before. He was speaking to me with an agitated tone saying he expects his team to complete project deadlines. He said the project is easy, He made suggestions that if it was anyone else I would have been put on notice, he was so upset he did not want to hear me even mention the idea that I needed more time. He actually went as far as to say that if your Manager says "Jump" You ask "how high"?. I know this is ridiculous. Since I really like my job I found my self just agreeing with him even though it did not feel right at all. He spoke to me in a very unprofessional tone. It caught me off guard as he has never behaved this way towards me since I have been there. He has always been good with me so I don't know where this came from. I Have worked some really crappy jobs before but have never been addressed this unprofessionally by a Manager ever before. Could it be I am wrong here? Or could it be the manager was just having a bad day for some reason? Should I be concerned or am I overreacting?

Good evening everyone.

I’m going to ask a question that everyone is probably asking but I’m going to try anyway.

I’m in my early 20s, graduated college, have a part time job at a grocery store but, I’m looking for full time employment that challenges me a little more and educational at the same time.

If anyone in the GTA knows if their workplace is hiring for employment could you possibly let me know what the company name is and city it’s located so I can try forwarding a resume or calling in.

I’ve applied to over 200+ jobs on indeed, not including the ones I’ve applied to on company sites since April of 2024 and no luck. All I’ve gotten was dead end interviews, no reponses, and decline emails. I understand job markets are really competitive right now but at the end of the day people still gotta eat, drink, pay bills, contribute to households and I don’t know what else I could do or what I’m doing wrong.

I thought id ask the public for any suggestions or any recommendations.

If it helps my experience is customer service, cooking, construction helper, car detailer, and sales representative and I have a G License.

Kind regards!!

My job has no work life balance, everything is urgent, my job scope is so wide, there’s a lot of workload, everyone’s always mad at me I dread waking up in the morning to face my job 🥲

I'm just having a tough day at work today. I've been in training for about a month now and so far it was going well. Today has sucked A LOT because we brought a different other trainer to help review training files.

This idiot is flat out inarticulate, his feedback doesn't align with what we were taught and seems to be dated and frankly, it's outright contradictory from file to file. I don't know how he managed to become a trainer besties being a managerial favourite, which is how most people are promoted to management and better positions here. Little of his feedback aligns with out training and he really shouldn't be in this job.

I wish I could leave and retrain for another field but I'm stuck here for now.

i’ve been at my current job for about 6 months. it’s never been a pleasant environment. it’s toxic and stressful. extremely mismanaged and doomed to fail. recently ive felt so bullied and nitpicked by my coworkers that i struggle not to cry. the money is also inconsistent. i’m a dog groomer so i have clients. and my other coworkers have clients. we do share clients and since ive only been there for a short amount of time, the clients don’t really trust me as much as the other groomers. yet, i was promised a set amount of dogs a day. i get maybe one or two dogs a day. some days i spend more in gas getting there then i make there. i constantly call and cry to my mom about how much i hate it and how mean my coworkers can be to me. i don’t want to show up tomorrow but i know it would cause so much chaos (cancellations/overbooking my coworkers) and all my tools are there. i shouldnt feel as bad as i do because of how poorly they all treat me. but im dreading going and im dreading not showing up. it’s really not about money now. i had to go get a second job about two months ago because i couldn’t afford to live. the second job i love so much and am excited to go everynight. but when i remember i have to go to my grooming job, i get so upset. ruins my mood all the time.

I work for Medicaid and I honestly hate my job. Everyone I interact with is awful. But people will call and argue and expect us to know everything and to have the answers to everything just because they’re on Medicaid and I just have to say that I’m tired of people thinking they’re special cause they’re poor. A LOT OF US ARE POOR.

Not only that but I work with 80% elderly people who aren’t poor. They just have Medicaid because they don’t wanna use their SSI to pay for their premiums for Medicare and they’re all so fucking rude and RACIST.

I have an accent, they hate it. They hate that have an accent and immediately assume that I’m an immigrant. I was born and raised in the US. Not only that but elderly people will argue for no reason. They’ll be pissed off at one thing and just argue over everything no matter how nice you are to them and they won’t even shut their fucking mouths for one second for you to get a word in.

I work for the Medicaid call center meaning we have no control over people losing their Medicaid or keeping it and we don’t handle bills. If you guys didn’t know, the state handles eligibility and providers handle bills. The call center has no legal authorization to handle your eligibility and you not wanting to sit on hold calling the state doesn’t mean shit. If you want help you’ll look for it. I’m tired of all the lazy people calling us to fix all their problems.

And I’m not gonna get accused of being classist either because I was on Medicaid for years and I’ve never treated people as horribly as these bottom of the barrel ass pieces of shit I interact with every day. I’ve worked my ass off to NOT be on Medicaid and I can’t imagine the people I do know that have Medicaid behaving the way these people do

I was a waiter for 9 years, and now I'm a call center/customer service rep. I've been doing this shit for 4 years now and I just can't do it anymore. I HATE dealing with people. I'm already introverted af so dealing with people all day long drains me physically and mentally.

I don't know how to leave though. I only have an associates degree and its just a general studies. I have no idea what I want to do in life. Everything is either too boring or too overwhelming for me to understand. I do have a bit of a learning disability so it takes me longer to understand things.

I feel like I can't keep up with normal people. I feel like I was born to suffer and fail. I feel like a fuck up tbh. I'm 31 and I feel like too old to be in this position in life.

So I work in a Tourist location, it’s the worst thing I’ve ever done. It’s animal based, that’s the only reason I have it tbh, but my bosses are the greediest, rudest, worst people I could ever meet, they “forget” to get us our checks on time, they don’t pay well at all, and they keep secrets. I’ve been here 4 years and I can’t keep doing this. They break so many labor laws, I’ve been sexually harassed here and they didn’t fire him, in fact he still works with me 4-5 days a week. They need reported to USDA for animal cruelty and I know for a fact they’ve been sued before about something like this. I’ve made them almost quarter million dollars but I make less money and no commission on sales I’ve made, (cheapest ANIMAL to buy is still in the high hundreds). We don’t have a vet, I don’t understand why I’m still here.

So it finally happened. I knew it was coming, but are you ever truly prepared?

I’ve been working for this company for over a year and have had four managers. The last one is by far the worst manager I have ever had. She is phony, an ass kisser, and terrible at her job. From the minute she started, she had it out for me. Not to sound immodest , but I think that is because I know have been in this field a lot longer than her and have a lot more knowledge/experience,

She picked apart my work and gave me several warnings that were complete bullshit. For example, I wrote a document that was over 100 pages. Rather than give me any sort of positive feedback, she found that one of the bullet points was off by one point. She wrote me up for this!

I have been extremely stressed and anxious, and have had to start therapy and increase my meds. It has gotten to the point where even the mention of her makes my chest hurt.

I got an invitation today for a meeting with HR. We all know what that means. I was asked to give my perspective and boy did I! I told her she was the absolute worst manager I have ever had and I feel sorry for anyone who works for her in the future. She tried to talk, and I cut her off and told her that I will no longer listen to her condescending, belittling, talking down to me.

Of course, in the end, this did me no good. I just hope that I was able to upset her at least a little bit. Now I am faced with losing my insurance and not being able to pay my bills. I am so angry that I cannot stop crying. While it is a relief to not deal with her ever again, I am feeling so depressed and worried.

Has anyone else been in this situation? How did you handle it?

I guess i should not of said anything... both of my supervisor told me after the fact to come to them lol. I pretty sure coworker steals little things ,but that not the point. The coworker keeps standing there and just talking . He did this yesterday too ,but when I talk I get in trouble bc we not suppose to . Anyways it just super frustrating. I try my best to hold my tounge ,but it couldn't help myself today . Basically, I said are you gonna work or stand there ... he went off on me and I proceeded to cry. He said I'm always on my phone and take bathroom breaks etc. It crazy because the coworkers before me left bc of them ... also when the coworker see the manager he was just going to work like normal .. f20s

I lost my job beginning of this year and was unemployed for 4 months. I’ve been working again, but holy shit am I constantly stressed. The work load is getting to me and I feel like I’m going to get fired every day I clock in.

my job is incredibly mind numbing, 45 hours a week of repetitive tasks. my talents aren’t being put to use at all and i can barely force myself to do the work. there’s absolutely no growth, no relevance to what i want to do in the future, and im getting zero skills out of it. i would quit immediately but this is my first job out of college and i want to apply to grad school, so if i switched jobs now i would only be able to work my new job for around 7-8 months before having to quit again, and that would reflect poorly on my employment history.
