I work in IT and talk on the phone all day and like 70% of end users just hang up at the end of calls. No goodbye or anything. It’s so fucking rude

Bro 9 hour workdays sound like hell. And the fact they want to know if you’re taking a shit is disgusting. I’m so sorry you have a job like that. I hope you’re able to get out of there.

Yo I totally get that time entry shit. I get automatic hate mail from my boss if I don’t hit 6 hrs of billable time. There’s a lot of unbillable duties I do in my position, so a lot of days I don’t hit my 6 and it’s annoying as fuck.

My boss is also a passive aggressive pos that I could rant about all day.

I’m in the easterm part of the country on top of everything else. In a very poor area. I’m looking at a commute if I can’t find a remote position. I currently work fully remote because I am very immunocompromised. I’m terrified of even hybrid positions getting me ill. I caught a cold that’s slowly turning into pneumonia and I just can’t fight it off. I have the feeling I’m going to end up hospitalized from it.

I feel like I could also be on the chopping block if my employer decides that they’re done with me. The only thing going for me is that it’s a small company and our growth in clientele alone is keeping me employed. If we are down by one person, we are absolutely slammed with work. It’s ridiculous.

Damn that really sucks. I’m sorry you aren’t appreciated for your skills and have to take on the role of teacher instead of doing your actual work.

I live outside of a large city and would be commuting into it. Wanting to live kinda rural and work in tech was not a good idea, but I’m in too deep now. -_-

In in the same boat as you, right down to the industry. Except I’m in the US and I’m only experienced enough to be a level 2 tech.

I have a friend tracking down a hybrid position lead at his company, but the commute for the in person days would be 1.5 hrs at least one way. He’s going to be seeing what the pay is and how many days I’d need to be in the office so I know if it’d be worth it. I don’t want to waste my time and the time of his coworkers if the pay and schedule wouldn’t be right.

My workplace had become super toxic and I’m desperate for another job, but the market is abysmal. I’m hoping for a miracle, because I want out of my current job asap

Lme when I go grocery shopping without eating first

My dog is usually what fucks me over financially. She’s a goblin and is always finding ways to injure herself or make her sick. I maxed out two credit cards in two months this year because of her. She ate a toy and had to have it surgically removed. I thought I got rid of the types of toys she liked to eat and she found another one somewhere the next month and had to have surgery again. She almost died but my vet came in on her day off to perform the surgery. I found her stash of the toys in the yard. She buried them. I went through my entire property and got rid of all toys. My dogs only get things they can digest now. My problematic dog is a mini goldendoodle and apparently they’re all goblins and nobody told me before I got her. Love her so much but goddamn.
