This one time I worked at a tiny furniture outlet. I was homeless at the time, living out of my car because of stalking. It's a lot to explain. My boss took me to lunch and then took me to a really fancy hotel. He literally booked a suite and took me up there alone and I told him to fuck off. Lol e_e

>>65975While it's nice to be financially independent and not worry too much about finances, my job takes a huge physical and mental toll on me. The con about having disposable income and no one to hold me accountable is a succumb to my vices on too many occasions. Therapy helped but I had stopped seeing my therapist when I relapsed because of shame and now I can't find a new one. I know I'd be happier if I switched specialties but fat chance of that happening with covid right now.
Honestly, sometimes I miss my old job as a barista. I made fraction of the amount I make now, but it was an inconsequential job and the tasks were monotonous but kept me busy without being stressed.

>>65868My work is changing a large portion of my job because they're buying a program that will automate the largest and most time-consuming task that we do, so they're replacing that by giving us tasks that are currently done by another department to lighten their load. However, the task they're automating was one I was super fast and efficient at, so while it took everyone else on my team ~4 hours a day, I was done in 1. Now I'm sad that I might actually gonna have to do work during my workday. Sucks.

When I got hired I thought my boss was gay (he's in a relationship with a man who also works here, it's an open secret in our company) but now I found out that both him and his partner are bisexual. The two have been weirdly friendly towards me and I've even caught both of them checking me out before but I dismissed it as my paranoid imagination. Now I'm pretty sure it was real and they're actually attracted to me. They're not a bad looking couple, but they're both in their mid 40s while I'm 23. I've only been here for a few months and I don't dislike the work I'm doing, but this makes me want to quit so it doesn't escalate.

I'm a freelancer and I'm tired of it.

I'm fully remote so it's even worse. Today I spent time talking to my supervisor about an IRL not work issue I was freaking out about even though she doesn't really "know" me well and it felt kind of embarassing, but she was sweet about it and was asking me to update her and everything.
One of my current coworkers will go out of her way to call and talk on the phone more sometimes and I can tell that's when she's feeling lonely. She's older and lives alone and doesn't have family around so I try to be really social with her

I work nights at a warehouse. The warehouse gets goods. Those goods are put in their marked spot. Selectors are given orders which guide them on what to put in their pallets. The pallets and made and put onto trucks. Its kinda interesting to see how it works, but its a very poor work environment. I sit in a little command station where I coordinate pallets and give the "selectors" there orders to fill out. Past HR, I'm the only women in the building at ant point, and HR is only there in the day. The job itself isn't too hard, just make sure the moids get their orders and don't put their pallets in the wrong spots. I have a big glass panel I interact with the selectors through, and I like to pretend I'm looking into a moid encloser at the zoo. Generally the are indifferent with a few nice ones who sya please and thank you, but some get angry at me because I don't give them easy jobs. It is all supposed to be random, so I can't do anyone favors. When they get to rough I get to call over the manager. If it didn't pay good I would have left months ago…

This will sound weird but I hate that I don't work all week. I have free weekends and I hate it. I thought having an income would allow me to enjoy more things, but it has been pointless because I have no friends or close relatives.
I've tried going out alone but I don't enjoy it at all, if anything it makes me feel worse.
Tried signing to some classes on the weekends to see if I could make some friends but I didn't achieve anything.
At least i feel appreciated at work. My coworkers are nice to me and I have my mind busy. Anywhere else I feel miserable.
Still, I know my coworkers aren't my friends, they make plans together and I'm never invited, so I know they see me just as a coworker and nothing more. But I won't complain about them because they are the first group of people that makes me feel appreciated since I was a preteen

i hate remote work. I am the only person in my office who works in-person (because of my junior contract) and i fucking despise that my coworkers (as much as i like them) feel some sort of entitlement to me doing everything by myself in person all the goddamn time.
They are always on vacation or business trips or working from home. I bust my ass to get to work every goddamn day with a 13 mile, 1 and a half hour commute total back and forth and god forbid im slightly late to an appointment and they just take a different meeting and have to reschedule with me.
as soon as i get into graduate school I'm going back to my home country for a long needed break for at least a month (and hopefully find a moid to spend the rest of my life with in that time) before I start school again

Why oh why did I get invited to an interview that I’m clearly not going to get the job in the end? I’m qualified on paper but there are many more qualified people vying for this job. Plus I have to do a test and I forgot everything since graduate school … I’m going to fail the test for sure.

same. i think this applies to some of the other ladies in my work place, one of my older colleagues would call up everytime i asked her a simple question like "which address should i be putting for this order" which can be answered in basically 2 seconds on teams but instead she wants to call me up and have a 1/2 hr conversation :/ im now afraid of asking her questions.
id also like to speak more but i think my sense of humour is kind of different from theirs.
i just need friends who are aspie like me but dont show it but only a little bit and we laugh at the same stupid things. i tried bumble before but it's all dog and wine girls. i hate dogs.

I'm graduating this semester and looking for jobs. Looking at all of the job postings in my city makes me genuinely depressed. There's nothing that's interesting, and my degree didn't make me qualified for anything worthwhile. I don't want to have to work so hard just to make rent but everywhere that's hiring looks like a scam to overwork and overpay me. how am I supposed to be happy about graduating when I have nothing to look forward to?? How do I even find work?
Anonymous 98617
>>97781in a similar situation, i recently quit my job because i couldn't handle the pressures of my other responsibilities including uni and work. My manager would emotionally manipulate me and made me stay for closing so that he could harass me while working and some of the customers would harass me as well. One time this guy took a sauce bottle from my apron and used that as an opportunity to grab my crotch, I didn't even complete the 2 weeks notice as a result of this and just stopped showing up. I feel like it is not worth working for minimum wage when you get harassed on the daily and are feeling constantly drained.

I interviewed for a new job where I already work. I didn't do terribly, but I have a feeling I'm going to be passed over for an external candidate. I have a really good reputation and people praise me all the time, but I bet they'll somehow use that as a reason not to hire me. Looking forward to having embarrassed myself in front of dozens of people I see every day who preferred some stranger to me and decided I didn't deserve a higher-paying job.

I hate it with a burning passion - having to type out the same information on the same form twice because job application sites suck and their AutoFill never even works properly, having to state I'm not a disabled gay veteran 10+ times a day, having to carry myself as superfluously as possible during interviews like by trying to make some stuff up you know about a company you can't even actually know that much about and gain a sense of until you actually start working at it…The fear that I'm going to get filtered by an ARS 200+ times just because I didn't have enough buzzwords or made a single type on my resume. It's all clown world.
I reached out to a place I worked at last year and even a friend that offerred to refer me to his company, but they're not hiring either at the moment.
I actually don't even seem to be getting interviews at the moment, but I usually always have. So I'm worried I'm sending out either a worse resume now or really battling with a fucked entry-level job market now. lul

I work at a shitty dollar store adjacent store. The store is always a fucking mess because people love to leave shit literally anywhere other than the place it goes. I’m autistic and my face is always very neutral. Im too tired to green text so I’m just going to explain what happened. I was putting stuff back in a very messy aisle and these two ugly moids came down the aisle and one of them started dancing like a retard to get a reaction out of me and I tried to ignore it but I just looked out of instinct and realized his fat friend was filming me and my reaction to him, and of course they were laughing at me. I said to myself fuck that and walked to the back room and just sat on my phone for awhile, and I didn’t care if the cameras saw me. My manager had gone home thankfully, if she was still there I would’ve just went to the bathroom instead.

Instead of spending their budget on funny little videos and advertisements, as well as opening new stores every fucking where, maybe this company should use it on increasing the wages so they can find new employees.
