My job has me questioning the intelligence of the avg American daily
I’m just tired of working. That’s it. 40 hours a week is way too much. I wish we could hibernate like bears for months at a time.
I've been working at my job for 10yrs. Literally been working there longer than EVERYONE minus the bosses. Over that time I've seen multiple managers come and go. The last manager was a narcissist and she antagonized me for 2 years. She would make derogatory remarks to me in front of customers and other employees not to mention she was a racist that made racist remarks to me in front of coworkers. She would get into shouting matches with me. Crazy b!tch even held me in a room against my will because she wanted to know why i don't talk to her anymore. The bosses would do nothing about it. That was my cue to leave but stupid me stuck it out. She eventually got fired right before covid but not because of anything she did to me or other employees. They decided to hire a manager from within the company so naturally being a senior employee ,having years of experience , never been written up ,and always commened on my performance i applied. Went through the interview process and was told i was the best bar none. Those MF'rs went with someone else. Mind you I'm the one everyone asks how to do something. Im the one that was acting manager when the manager was out for several months milking disability. Im the one that built the majority of the team we have now. And the person who got promoted over me is my close friend who i got the interview at my place. When i asked what i was lacking as an employee to not get the promotion they told me i wasn't lacking anything
I know....I'm seriously looking elsewhere now. The only thing is other places aren't paying anywhere near what I get now . Honestly they just soured me from even wanting to continue in the same line of work.You should’ve left this job a long time ago.
Feeling unappreciated and overlooked yet again as another coworker gets recognized over me (and I do really like her, she does a good job at what she does but I get more volume and just generally have more responsibilities than her). I work hard, get complimented on the work that I do and how reliable I am, so much so that my managers have increased my workload the last few months and put more on my plate bc they know I can handle it. Never late, never call out, I've even made myself available on days we're short staffed and many ppl call out, including weekends, holidays, still no official recognition.
My birthday is next month and I most likely would've showed up like the good little soldier I always am but nah, after this latest slap, I think I'll take my whole birthday weekend plus a few more days off with all the vacation I've accumulated. I deserve it and I'm tired of always putting this job first with nothing to show for it. Maybe when I'm not there to pick up the slack like always, just maybe then will my fµck!ng supervisors will recognize my efforts.
I would also start applying for a new job.
This is why it's better to be average at jobs. The moment you start being exceptional, they don't want you to leave your position. It's rare that you will promoted if you are a hard worker.

I‘m glad to have a job despite all my posts...I don’t see the anonymous button but doesn’t matter; I swear my coworker keeps mentioning my screen name...I only wish I did not have a white female boss but I will survive like I usually do...
People just don’t understand. It take money to make money….Most of my growth came from being uncomfortable, maybe this is happening so you can reinvent your career down a different path.
Wow they sound like slaves for real.So I resigned from my job in the federal government. It was a temp job and would end in a couple of months. They might have extended us again but I chose to resign ahead of time.
I heard favoritism was rampant in the government, but my mind is blown at how extreme it is. There’s this white guy we’ll call “Jake” who was treated as if he was superhuman. He got promoted twice in 7 months. The first promotion was for lead, the second promotion was for supervisor. 2 black female managers promoted him. I have never seen one person’s ass kissed so much at a job before. “Jake is awesome at everything.” “Jake is so great.” Jake Jake Jake. You could mention the sky is blue and they would find a way to make it about Jake and mention him. He wouldn’t even be on the daily conference calls we had and they would still mention him. “If you have any questions, ask Jake!” And think it was hilarious.
There’s no receptionist there so the most junior people had to provide reception desk coverage. Before Jake got promoted, they would make a reception desk schedule and he would be left off because the coordinator didn’t want him up there. Why can’t he be up there? He had the same job title as me and I had to do it. He got out of doing most of the stuff the clerical staff had to do because he was working on special projects for management.
Jake ended up getting a job at the regional office and they were still kissing his ass at my office. “Jake is going to be sitting on a throne over there!” Someone sat at his old desk and they were pissed and said they could at least wait til his seat got cold. Smh.
I found a new job as a HR Coordinator and as I turned in my resignation, my supervisor asked me were there any more HR jobs because she has an HR certification. Lemme get this straight. You promote Jake twice over me and want me to get you an HR job at my new gig? Get real. Find out if Jake has any HR jobs at his new place of work. She was trying to get the most information out of me about my new job and started kissing my ass as if I was going to get her in. Hell no. We were going over my performance review and she had to nerve to mention Jake. Is this my performance review or his? I have never seen some blatant favoritism on any job as I did at that job. I’m glad I’m out of there.
I've 85% decided that my last day will be June 30th. I'm planning on enjoying July and August off and hitting the job search after that. I'm prepared to live off my savings for up to a year if needed but hopefully it won't come to that. I'm hoping to secure a new job by September/October.
I'm scared but I've prayed about it and all the signs and messages I've been receiving in the past week is indicating that this is the path I should follow. Even random IG posts I've been seeing seem to serve as a confirmation:
Me too!! Good luck to us!Tomorrow is my last day! Glad I went with my gut.
