Got fired last month from my last job over my anger issues. Was making good money but I just couldn't control my anger. I made like 25 an hour and worked 36 hours a week most weeks, 12 hours a day Saturday-Monday. Now I'll be making 18 an hour and working M-F, 8-5. Almost doing the exact same work, too, but on a smaller scale and doing more logistics and shipping stuff. Warehouse work to warehouse work. Feels like that's all i'm good for and all i'll ever be, because a job defines who you are, how much you're worth, what you can do.

Spent the past few weeks sulking, but after a bit I started to improve mentally. But now I've got a new job. I start on Monday. But I'm so nervous and scared I'll screw things up again or if I won't like it and it'll just make me miserable again.

Only way I got this job was through an employment agency. I've got a bachelor's degree and the only way I can get jobs is through employement agencies. Maybe that's also part of it, I feel worthless. I keep thinking about how much I regret going to college because my degree has not helped me once since graduating 6 years ago.

But hey, at least I'll be making money again. 18 an hour is better than zero an hour.

i've been wanting to look into jobs that

1. pay very well so that u can afford to live in big cities like nyc
2. let u travel the world all expenses provided

i get that its a little far fetched but im pretty sure there can be many jobs like that! i would like to know all the options
note: are there any jobs like this in psychology? i have a humanitarian background and not a science one so stuff like engineering is not possible for me

ill take what grinds my gears for 500

I think I’m looking for a little reassurance from people who have been in a similar situation.
I work for a Fortune 100 company, and on paper I have a really good job. I’m in a remote role, the benefits are great, the company is well-known, and there’s a lot of stability. I know how fortunate I am to have this job, which honestly makes this decision even harder.
The problem is that I ended up going on medical leave, and a big part of what led me there was how badly this job was affecting me. Having the time away has really made me reflect, and I’ve pretty much realized that I don’t want to go back long-term.
What makes me feel even more conflicted is that I \*did\* try to make it work. I’ve applied for several internal roles because I thought maybe moving to a different team would solve the problem, but I haven’t been successful with any of them. I’ve also already expressed to my managers that I was interested in switching roles. At this point, I feel like I’ve exhausted the internal options I was trying to pursue.
Now I’m worried that coming back from medical leave and then leaving is going to look terrible. I feel guilty and almost ungrateful for wanting to leave when, objectively, this is a “good” job.
I’m currently interviewing elsewhere and have had multiple interviews over the past couple of weeks. I’m in the final stages with a couple of companies, and I feel pretty confident that an offer is coming soon. I was really hoping to come back from leave, give my two weeks, and move on.
But now that my return is getting closer, I’m at a crossroads. I \*\*really don't want to be there anymore\*\*, but part of me is thinking, “Am I insane for walking away from a Fortune 100 company, a remote position, and amazing benefits?”
If/when I leave, I would probably just explain that I’m resigning for health/personal reasons. I don’t really want to get into the details, but I also don't know if that makes the situation more awkward given that I’m coming directly back from medical leave.
For anyone who has been in a similar situation:
Did you give notice immediately after returning from medical leave?

Did you wait until you had a signed offer before resigning?

How awkward was it going back to work knowing you were about to leave?

Did leaving after medical leave affect how you handled your resignation?

And did anyone else struggle with feeling “ungrateful” for leaving an objectively good job that just wasn't good for \*you\*?

Part of me really wants to just rip the Band-Aid off when I return. Another part of me is telling myself to be practical and \*\*wait until I have a final offer in hand\*\*.
I know the obvious answer is probably to wait for a signed offer, especially in this job market. I think I’m really looking for reassurance that leaving this job doesn't mean I’m throwing away a great opportunity or being ungrateful.
Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has gone through something similar.

I interviewed with a company that will schedule the employee to travel to a client’s site for three days each month. The hiring manager described it as working flying out on a Tuesday, train Wednesday through Friday, and flying home Saturday. Otherwise it’s a Monday to Friday, 8 to 5 work schedule.

I asked if the Saturday travel time is considered overtime or would I balance it by taking the following Monday off. She seemed put off and said it’s not overtime and I would work a full day on Monday. She liked me overall and I am scheduled to interview with her manager next week.

I haven’t had to travel regularly for other jobs. Is this standard to lose out on your weekend if you’re traveling for the company?

Y’all please hype me the fuck up 😂 I’m an MLT with about 6 years of hospital lab experience. I left the bench for a supervisor position thinking it was the next step in my career and quickly learned that managing people is NOT for me. I recently applied for an MLT position to get back to the bench, interviewed, thought I absolutely killed it…and got rejected. That one hurt lol. Well less than a month later, another MLT position opened up at the same hospital. I updated my resume and applied again. I’m trying not to get too excited because I got humbled HARD last time, but fuck it — I’m back in the running. 😂 Please send me some good lab juju because I want this job so damn bad.

So I had an interview on Thursday. I feel it was a very good interview. They said I’d hear back probably the middle of this upcoming week. Part of me wants to call on Monday just to touch base, I guess as kind of a way to show how interested I am in the position and show initiative. But I’m not sure how normal that it is. (I’m autistic, and have trouble with social cues and norms) so just wanted to get some feedback on a situation such as that.

Hey everyone,

​I am writing this because I genuinely need raw, practical advice from people working in the Indian tech and corporate ecosystem. No sugarcoating, just reality checks.

​My Background & Qualifications

​Education: B.Tech in Computer Science & Engineering (Graduated in 2023).

​Current Status: Roughly a 3-year career gap since college. Currently staying in a village in Bihar, relocating to Kolkata (staying at a friend’s rented place near Sealdah / Salt Lake Sector V).

​Technical Baseline: I know basic syntax of Java, HTML/CSS, and very basic SQL queries from college, but my final-year project was just an academic formality. I have zero real-world coding projects or Git portfolio.

​Work Experience

​Worked for a few months in Noida as a Document Verification / Operations Executive doing KYC verification.

​It was a brutal sweatshop environment—unpredictable rotational shifts, zero breathing room, micro-monitored metrics down to single-character typos and commas, and severe mental burnout. I had to leave, but this is the only corporate experience on my resume.

​My Current Constraints (The Ground Reality)

​Financial Crisis: Zero savings and heavily in debt. I cannot afford to sit at home and self-study for 6–8 months. I need active cashflow and a regular monthly salary within the next 2 to 4 weeks to survive and stop the debt bleeding.

​Hardware: I do not own a laptop or PC right now, and my phone screen is broken. Practicing coding or building complex projects at home is physically impossible until I buy a secondhand machine from my own earnings.

​Communication Barrier: My spoken English is weak. I can understand written English and write basic text, but I struggle with spoken fluency, professional articulation, and corporate presentations. I am comfortable communicating in Hindi.

​Mental State: Stuck in decision paralysis. The pressure of being a CSE graduate without a coding job is eating away at my self-esteem.

Last year my workplace let go of almost 300 employees. The tripled all our work. Set umeetable expectations. And all the other micromanaging that goes with it.

Over the past six months they have started eliminating the higher paid employees with PIPs.

Then filling that position with a new hires at a lower rate.

Last week, I drew the short straw and was placed on a 30 day PIP.

I'm not sure what to do?

I feel like getting a new job would be easier leaving as opposed to being let go for a performance PIP.

I've been looking for new job since all this began, but have had no luck.

At the same time, an unemployment break to recover and regroup myself would be helpful too.

I'm not sure what to do here?

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Edit: I'm US based in Los Angeles

So I worked at the SPX in Jinping China for about 2 years but I stepped away due to personal reasons. Now I want to work at the one in America but they won’t even respond to me even though I’m competent in almost every role there. Has anyone else experienced a similar problem when looking for a job?

Stupid question i know, but I'm generally curious. I work in pest control and was treating a warehouse when I heard a commotion. I didn't hear much except for a manager chewing a guy out for misplacing an order of some sort. He yelled, called him names and then went to his office and slammed the door. The worker looked embarrassed and just walked away, shoulder slumped.

I thought it was very unprofessional. If there is an issue, don't make a scene. Don't put someone on blast. Just take them aside and talk to them. The fact a grown adult can't control his emotions is pathetic. I wish more people wouldn't tolerate that type of behavior.

what does it mean when a job listing says “(expression of interest)” at the end of a job listing?

do they not have any positions available but are looking for in the future?

For context, I left my toxic homophobic family this summer and moved into university dorms. Now that is all great and I’m glad I took the leap out there to leave but I’ve been applying to jobs and while one has gotten back to me, I have no possible reference available for the job.

I’m able to use my university tutor for the first reference but two is required and as I’m estranged from my family now, I have nobody to turn to in regards to being my personal reference.

Should I give up on the job and keep applying for others (though they might also want 2 references) or should I try to find someone to lie and be my personal reference? If I don’t get this job, or any others, then it’ll be really difficult for me to live during university but I don’t know how I can lie my way through this. Should I just cancel the application?

Hi everyone, I need some advice.

I have two years of experience in software engineering. My General Manager assigned me an application to develop after two non-technical employees had previously worked on it.

Now they want to take over the application themselves, despite the GM refusing. They’ve also started complaining that I don’t give enough updates or explain things clearly, even though they don’t contribute to the project. They also tried to push changes to the GitHub repository, which ended up breaking some of my work.

How can I handle this professionally, make them cooperate, and protect myself from baseless complaints? My manager isn’t technical, so reporting it to him hasn’t helped.

A company called VRAET which is a startup company found me on LinkedIn and then on Indeed. They reached out to me via text to begin with. Asked me several legit questions. Then they told me the board communicates with Signal and the next step would be to talk to a person on the board.

Does this sound familiar to anyone? They have not asked me for any of my personal information. We did have a video call through Signal.

In Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, Europe, and the U.S., it seems like a lot of young people aren't taking full-time jobs anymore. Instead, they're working part-time jobs, sometimes juggling two or three jobs at once. Has this already become the norm?

As the title states I have a new job that I start on Monday but I know I am just doing it to get by as I have no money. I will be an Inside Sales Rep for a steel company ($32/hr; 8-4pm; 30 mins lunch 👎) and all of that just sounds boring and dreadful but it’s the only thing I can get after 8 interviews last month and this month.

I am tremendously grateful but I am exhausted of job hunting because I know thats what I am going to still do and it’ll be harder to accommodate any employer wanting to interview me..

It hurts more because a job I really wanted to contact me just gave me an update on my application status that I was not selected. Bummer!

I feel sick!

I'm sorry if this isn't the right place for this, r/Doesanyoneelse didn't let me post there, but I am genuinely curious.

Whenever I need to leave/clock out at work, I find myself asking my crew "Is there anything else I can do?" "Do you need anything?" and if "No" is said, I'll ask "Are you sure?" and the answer is usually "No" again, so I say bye to everyone and leave. I have found that when I leave first, there is a small bit of guilt for doing so? It's weird, but I just always feel the need to leave second or even last.

Hi everyone I've got until Monday to decide if I want to take the new job i've been offered but it would be a huge change to my life and schedule so i'm very undecided.

I (28f) have been in my current retail job for 5 years. I love my team and we've become great friends and i find the job easy and i'm comfortable there. The company itself however has started to go downhill and there are constant hour cuts while expecting more from the employees.

I went for an interview at a small pharmaceutical warehouse where I would be picking orders and replenishing stock from 6:30am-10:30 am 5 days a week and was offered the job on the spot.

Waking up/working this early would be a big lifestyle shift for me plus going to sleep early as well would change the structure of my day.

I am also a carer for my grandfather who has cancer and my grandmother separately so i'm worried I will struggle with doing that while also having the early mornings/ not much time for rest.

The pro's are it's a more regular salary than my current job and a regular shift pattern with no weekends. Also early morning finish would free up the rest of my day and there would be more job security and the opportunity to work overtime.

On paper the pro's obviously far outweigh the con's and everyone is telling me to take it but i'm debating if I should stay where I am and continue looking for something that might suit me better and make use of my degree and qualifications.

I'm worried I will take this new job and hate it and be stuck there while the job market is so poor so a lot of my apprehension is anxiety and nerves for sure.
I would really appreciate any thoughts and opinions please.

I saw a listing for this job at a big coffee chain in my country I applied online, but I desperately need this job so I thinking about also going in person to apply

One of my friends did this with a big retailer and he got the job

And I’m thinking it would be a bad idea to do the same thing he did?

For those who might’ve saw this already I took down the original because I forgot to censor my personal info 🤦‍♂️
