Job Interview Feedback
by Blossom92
Last post
 December 5th
...See more Hi everyone, This is my first time posting here so nice to meet you all. I've been applying for several positions in the past couple months after being laid off in a very unprofessional way and so far I've got nothing. I had a job offer popping up a month or so ago but it was a very shady one where they insisted I must commute to their office every day which would mean a 2/3 hour ride there and honestly that's not feasible - I won't spend up to 4/6 hours of my day commuting. Last week on Wednesday I got a final interview of a set of 5 ones and was expecting to hear some positive feedback a week or so after that but it didn't happen. Actually, nothing happened, I emailed the HR team yesterday (past a week) and so far (more than 24 hours afterwards) heard nothing. I've also sent a thank you email right after the interview and didn't hear back which wasn't uncommon given it didn't happen the previous times. Does this mean they don't want me? That I am being rejected and should just quit? The uncertainty is really stressing me out and I can't understand why one would not just spend five minutes sending an email even if it's to say there's no updates... Thank you all once again

...See more I work at a place where I have to take care of young teen girls and boys and I am normally getting screamed at or cussed at every other day and I can’t push out my emotions on how I feel because I would get in trouble, so I push all these emotions down and they all boil up and when I go home to my husband he does just something so little and I blow up on him and I didn’t even mean to but I am just so angry lately on what I have to go through at work and I enjoy it but it’s affecting my mental health more than I ever imagined it would!

Work advice needed - new job struggles
by galfromaway
Last post
 October 11th
...See more Hi there. I have posted this in the ADHD community too, but wanted to ask here since it's very much workplace related. I was diagnosed a year ago with combined ADHD - I'm now 53. The last year and a half has been challenging, with trying to find meds that work for me (on my 5th try now), dealing with a toxic work environment, then having my role eliminated (along with 7 others the same day) in February of this year  (and husband being laid off a week later), and now trying to adapt to a role I've only been in for four months. I'm really struggling to figure out processes and ways to keep myself organized, and am really feeling like I'm letting people down. My boss knows the ADHD thing - I mentioned the side effects from the meds. Add to that husband's aunt passing away, a good friend facing a cancer diagnosis, and there's really a lot happening. I think I'm starting to reach ADHD burnout - I'm letting tasks at work, at home and in volunteer roles slip, I'm not doing the quality work that I normally do, and my anxiety attacks are getting very serious. Everything is simply overwhelming, and I can't tell if I'm projecting onto my boss and colleagues that they're fed up with me and I'm >< this close to being fired, or what. How do you deal with overwhelm at this level? My anxiety has reached the point where I'm not sleeping well, my appetite is lacking, and my inner critic is going crazy, kicking me in the butt. How do you communicate burnout to volunteer colleagues and work colleagues in a way that it doesn't sound like I'm making excuses? And do I disclose the cause of it all? My boss knows the ADHD thing - I mentioned the side effects from the meds. I'm really struggling and don't know how to handle things right now. I am starting counseling again, but wanted to see if there is anything I should do at work to make things a bit better. Thank you

Returning to Work after Grieving
by Jaeteuk
Last post
 August 19th
...See more It was a Tuesday, during my shift when I received a message from my mum that Grandma had passed. (Full post in Grief & Loss). I immediately told my Manager I'll be taking the rest of the week off, and possibly the following week too. This was end of July, so, basically, I was off grieving for the first two weeks of August. I've finally decided to return to work tomorrow. I think I'm more afraid of explaining to colleagues the reason I was off the past 1.5 weeks, than working itself. Someone on my team messaged me last Thursday, asking if I was returning to work next week. I answered, first acknowledging that it must've been difficult for them during my absence, because there are others on vacation. Then, I explained I had been off grieving for the passing of my Grandma. I said I'll return Monday and see how it goes, if I cannot control my emotions at work, it probably means I need more time off. Their reply was, "rest up and see you next week".. I know I might be overthinking it, but for some reason, her response made me angry. To be grieving the time I had been off, and finally decided to try returning to work, telling me to rest up, that sounds like a very inconsiderate response. Resting up and going to work won't help with the grief and the stress I feel, returning to work. She even had a thumbs up emoticon in front. Even if she just replied with an okay, I would've felt neutral about it. Maybe I'm just being sensitive during this time.  Colleagues only seem to care whether or not I can return to work, rather than showing compassion and empathy by asking why I had been off. I just didn't expect that kind of response after saying I lost my Grandma. People are just selfish beings. There I was trying to be apologetic for my absence (because I know that 2 others on my team are on vacation, which means the remaining 2 of 3 staff will need to work overtime. Which I know will be okay, because when I was off sick the beginning of this year, the nurses helped out when possible too). But I feel that I'm not ready to interact with colleagues yet.. I'll take it one day at time.. See how things go tomorrow, and if I'm still overwhelmed with emotions, then, it probably means I'm not ready to return to work yet.. Grandma's funeral/memorial isn't until next weekend.. So, I think until then, my mood will continue to fluctuate. So, I'm not sure if I'm in a stable enough state to be working.. because once I return to work, everyone will expect me to work productively and efficiently and get everything done, leaving no unfinished work for the morning staff.  Hopefully colleagues will be more understanding that I was off grieving and if I need more time off to grieve that they won't make it sound like they're blaming me for their overtime work needs. I think my own mental health is more important than having me worrying if they're needing to work overtime in order to cover my my absence.  To me, it'll be better if I can work normally than having my mind full of grief, which will cause a delay in my productivity and efficiency.. which may lead to complaints from colleagues that I'm lacking communication and productivity in my work.. (happened before, when I worked the week after learning my Grandma had a heart attack). After that week, that was when I colleague complained to me directly, and others must've said something too, because my Supervisor also came to me about not doing some tasks. That week I worked after Grandma's heart attack, I should've taken the week off. But, decided to bulldoze through, knowing that there was someone on vacation, but the whole week, I was on the verge of a breakdown everyday. I didn't speak with anybody, was very sleep deprived, and my mind often zoned-out. Back then, I only told my colleagues that someone back home is very ill, and it has gotten me very worried. Then, the colleague that complained directly to me said, "Everyone has sh*t going on at home, and they still come to work and interact with each other." I was so angry. Thanks for being considerate (sarcasm) of my feelings, after saying that there was someone very ill back home. Then, she goes on and does a personal attack on my work productivity. Saying that I'm lacking in productivity and efficiency because I'm not a permanent staff, unlike the rest of the staff on our team. Mind you, although I'm not a permanent staff (only working as a vacation relief), I've been working in this position 4 years longer than her, while she only started this year. How dare she speak to me like that? I think this type of personal attack is disrespectful and a little discriminating, when comparing me to a regular full-time staff. I planned to give her another chance before reporting her. If she says the same thing a second time, I'll report her. Because I was hurt by her words and it made me angry.

Feeling drained + Victimization
by indigoBranch21
Last post
 July 12th
...See more In my specialization we are two medical residents per year. Unfortunately, my coworker is the absolute worst. I got weird vibes from her at first and then time told. I caught her saying a bunch of lies and making people believe things she is not. But I brushed it off as it was not affecting the work field. Until..we are forced into a master´s degree as part of the specialization and she lied to be telling me we had to partner up. We ended up doing the thesis with other 2 girls..so a group of 4, she didn´t work at all. She would make up lies and excuses not to work, but would post stories about her partying the same moments the rest of us worked. y other 2 teammates wanted to kick her out, including the thesis tutor. We did not, but I went up to my resident tutor (who is also her´s) to get some guidance and help with this. I told my residency tutor about the issue as it was also affecting the ER environment. My coworker would show up 3 hours late to the ER, overloading the rest with work. When she was there she wouldn´t work either. Her answer to my worries about my coworker overloading me and the rest with work was answered with: "sometimes we have to do the work for others". After the 3rd complaint, I told my residency tutor that I was thinking about changing hospitals.And sorry, but I found this unacceptable. Especially coming from the professional..graduate side My first tutor organized a meeting with my service´s boss and with my coworker and I, but separately. Of course they went first and IDK what they said or blamed me for, but when I had the meeting it was the most hostile, passive-aggresive scenario. My boss, who at the time barely new my name, treated me as if I was being charged for some crime. I was basically accused of discrimination and so on and of having some kind of personal gambetta against her. I find it hilarious, because in every single one of my interviews with the tutor I explicitly said it was only a work matter. I do not have any type of relationship with this girl outside the hospital. All this just for asking for help as I believed it was the tutor´s responsability.  I got a tutor change this past January and this new tutor has me under a magnifying glass. It feels like she sets up obstacles to every solution I find to feel more comfortable.Every time she asks me how I feel, I reply as honestly as I can. I tell her that is difficult to work in an environment like the one provoked, that I am taking baby steps, but that I refuse to stay a minute longer than I should and that I am seeking for options not to be for long at the service. When I reply and she sese my worry face, she just clams up and it feels like talking to a wall. She just adopts this *** look like saying: so? what do you want me to do attitude. A lot of little nasty details have occured in the middle: they wanted to deliberately alter my rotation schedule without my consent, I was sent to the psychiatrist because they thought I needed meds (the report basically said I was perfectly fine and all this was due to the work context), they lowered my grade because it was too good.My parents are aware, my dad is a lawyer and he says that there are ilegal things in the way they are treating me. My other rotation tutors have advised me to change hospitals cause they do not think its fair or normal how things are going down. Feeling constantly undervalued, underestimated, annulated and having my feelings invalidated on a constant basis is hard. I have proven and I continue to prove myself professionally. Going to congresses, courses, expositions, having amzing grades, but it seems that any of that counts. It seems that the laziest you are and the less you work, the better. None of my achievements are ever recognized. All my feelings are thrown out the window. The unfairness keeps on going on and the mistreatment thrown under a rug. I am trying so hard to keep myself sane. I just don´t know know what to do. I feel helpless. I feel somewhat desperate. I cannot believe how things like this are actually taking place in such an institution.

One retiring + one new hire
by Jaeteuk
Last post
 July 1st
...See more There are some changes in the staff positions. One colleague who is currently on a relief full-time line, applied to the position of the one who is retiring. So, now she as a permanent full-time position. Which means, her relief line is up for hires. This is where the new hire comes in. If you have been following my previous posts about work, you might remember that this colleague retiring is the problematic one, so, I'm celebrating that she's leaving us soon. The other problem is, the new hire. She and I had a mishap at least 2 years ago. She got me investigated by our Managers. For what I did, I had already apologized through an email I sent out to her and a couple of others. I tried looking past the conflict we've had, but her response gives off the idea that she still holds a gr*dge against me and obviously just doesn't like me. Luckily, the shift she's working, I only have 2.5 hours of overlap shift hours with her, and I could still easily avoid having any interaction with her. Her Relief Line is until end of November though. But to know that she's now on the same team, just thinking about it, makes me feel stressed. I have examples of why I think she holds a gr*dge against me and doesn't like me. There had been times after the incident, when I went down to the department looking for instruments because the staff downstairs couldn't find it. So, the nurses sent me to look for it. When I couldn't find it either, she came back from her dinner break, one of the others asked her. She found it, and I "thanked" her out loud when I walked past her. She totally ignored me and continued a conversation with someone across from the room. Other times, she will call my department asking about questions, whenever I answered the phone, she would ask for others. When I say, they've stepped out or went for break, she's like, can you ask them to call me back or she say's she'll call later. When she asked for another person, and that person is there, I've stuck around just to listen in on what she wanted to ask. And according to what my colleagues answered with, I could've easily told her too. So, that makes it obvious that she doesn't even want to speak to me. So, to know that she's joining the team, I really don't know how that will play out. My Manager knows that we've had some conflict between us, and she told me that she hopes I act professionally and look beyond our differences and work well together. I wanted to tell her, I tried putting it past us ever since the incident happened, but she's the one who isn't forgiving and isn't looking past the incident. Another thing I'm worried about, all the staff on my team, are all buddies-buddies with her, they have all started in the same department downstairs, before coming up to the OR for work. So, I get a feeling that everyone will end up taking her side and I'll be left out. This is a time where I'll feel like I don't want to work this job. Having her on the team just makes the atmosphere give a negative vibe. I have one week of work in April, and by looking at the schedule, she starts on the same day that I have work. Literally, just thinking about it is stressful enough, I know she will eventually apply for a permanent line once the other 2 colleagues retire in the next two years, but hopefully by then, I'll either be gone or maybe I'll try and get my business going again. The one I tried starting last summer, with no income yet.

I Don't Know If I'll Make It Through This Month
by Shyness98
Last post
 May 7th
...See more For the past two years I've been working at an after school program as a paraprofessional. I have a very intimidating supervisor and I felt that I kept making mistakes and I was too scared to confront her outright with them. She's a perfectionist and from the get go I knew that I wouldn't be able to live up to her expectations. We are dealing with 108 kids and we have some of the most defiant sixth graders. We were under pressure to implement these online programs, keep the kids under control, make sure they're doing their homework, and pay attention to the walkie talkies when they are communicating with us. I guess overtime I just started to get overwhelmed with the job. There was so much going on and eventually I started burning out. I wasn't performing the job as well as my coworkers. Overtime my boss and her second in charge started casting me out from the group and treating me like crap when it was just me alone. They would intimidate me and I would be frozen in shock. I didn't know how to react when they would belittle me and throw passive aggressive remarks. I feel so weak and incompetent. People tell me to stick up for myself and I feel that I have but I truly feel that I'm dealing with two narcissists. Two people who will do anything to "win" even though I don't care to win. Thankfully by the grace of God I found a new job but I still have to finish up my contract with this toxic job. My last day working this job is June 6 and I have this month left. I'm praying, and hoping that I make through it. I'm still casted out and the women don't talk to me and are still passive aggressive. People say that I shouldn't let it get to me but this environment is so toxic. It's worse than highschool. I would rather go back to highschool twice over than to work this job. I just want to know that I'm not the only one that's going through this and that this boss doesn't define who I am and that there is an end to all this. I pray that I never have to see these women again. I hate them so much and I'm going to need therapy after this is all said and done.

More of the Same

...See more I don't now how many people know the 90's show "The New Red Green Show" but in one segment the local forest ranger called Ranger Gord explains how to leave a campsite. "You take the ashes from the campfire, put them back together, and rebuild the tree." This is what I have to deal with at work. I was glad that I got all my reports done early even with having the quarterly report to do, a new state to look at on my dailies, and over 65 more people to look up backround information on as opposed to the previous month. But, one person I reported on had the activity already placed on the governmental form. One supervisor asked if I was looking at previous forms. Supervisors add and extend activity at random intervals. They don't tell us peons when changes are made and the main spreadsheet they use is locked and the normal people can only look at it for a few minutes or else the supervisors get mad. I have now 140 reports to look at every day and then 23 states every month that can have no information on the reports or 40 names that need background checks plus whatever they randomly throw at me AND the quarterly reports that usually have at least a hundred names on them and all the little things they want me to remember (like saving background reports in three places) and now they want me to go back and check something I did that was altered by someone else at a random point in time. Is this not just a little unreasonable? However, I can't say anything because then I'm argumentative and after the email I got today, I wanted to. But I agreed that they were right and deleted the file in question. I sometimes get the feeling that not only am I always getting criticized for everything I do but I am also being treated like I'm inferior. It's nothing vocal but how things are phrased in emails or in Teams. But as I said, I can't say anything even if I had the time to say something otherwise I'm looking at another write-up and I have at least six classes left to do before I finish my online degree program. A coworker today said she feels like they want the staff to be robots too so it's not centralized to just me.

Workplace hardships - Glad it is over now
by sky2Ocean20
Last post
 March 19th
...See more I come from a family full of teachers, and educators. And it seems like destiny pushed me to pursue this career too. I thought I had an awareness of possible obstacles. I have access and immunity to turn for guidance if I need it. I would be able to handle it well enough. But only a month into the job I realized how I have to portray a personality even outside college premises as a faculty. I had this pressure to “act in a particular manner in public places too” so that if any student saw me outside of college hanging out with my friends, shopping, and things like that.. they would not be able to take me lightly later. Because according to me, if they perceive me as a light-hearted kind person it won’t be easy for me to set boundaries and decorum in the classroom. I started to become so conscious of my appearance and actions that it felt too heavy on my shoulders. Very soon I realized, I am not built to put up an act for a job. I felt suffocated and under too much pressure. I was too hard on myself. Having money because of the job became secondary which I thought was impossible for me to say before joining the job. I was off from the 7-cups at those times (wish I stayed). Also, I could not reach and talk about it with anyone. Actually, I tried my best but did not find any comfort anywhere. Well, a few months later I ended up leaving that job and in hindsight only realized these things. Today I thought, I should share this here. If anyone is going through the same they might be able to cope more systematically. I am Showing the cards that I had to deal with during my first job with the purpose of letting people know about one of the unpleasant possible scenarios. Now I know how important it is to talk through. Suppressing, brushing it off, and pretending everyone has a rough job doesn’t make our situation better. Being aware and looking for support only helps in the long run.

Mental Load
by HidaYasu
Last post
 January 27th
...See more I'm not sure if this technically counts as "work stress", but I didn't know where else to post this.  Last couple years was really bad for me mentally, and I just didn't have the capacity to do a lot (both in work AND house chores and the like) so I didn't actually manage to do a lot. Recently I've felt like I've gotten my energy back, but now something feels like it's "looming" over me. What I'm THINKING is happening is that I've had these "goals" in my head for a while, and have a strong drive to "finish" and come to completion. Now anything I don't have "finished" sort of weighs me down. Like if I finish something small I do feel better, but if it's a long term project, I just can't relax until I'm done. And even things I haven't started yet, I try to sit and relax it's like "I've got to do this later I CAN'T forget" and then keep reworking that project in my head. Which doesn't help when I'm trying to sleep since, you know, sleep is important lol. I've already started using a planner and it does help to get things out of my head and put them down. But this only helps with basic household tasks and stuff, because those don't take mental space. But like when I'm thinking "I want to finish this overarching goal this year" I can't seem to just let it go for even a few hours because it's something that will take consistent planning, work, and effort. I try to think "you don't have to do this now, just relax", but a part of me is like "but I can't let it go completely because then I'll forget, I have to make sure I get this right". Did any of that make sense? Has anyone experienced something similar? And if so what did you do to help?

...See more Good afternoon,  I have been struggling for the past five years to get into a job that is aligned with my skillset.  I had the opportunity to go back to school, pick up a basic degree and a couple of certifications in my field.  I graduated with a high GPA and thought that I could quickly advance into a specific role in my field that fit my character and personality.  Needless to say, the past five years have not gone the way that I had hoped. More about me, I am very introverted, a recluse, have a lot of trust issues with people; random people on the street, professionals, those in the medical community, all with valid reasons.  It is these reasons that indicate that I will never be a member of management, CEO, or succeed in business; ultimately in a real job.  There are no illusions or delusions regarding what I am.  I get it.  I love who I am and how I think and function.   I applied for jobs to go into my field.  I was very tactical, trustworthy, and honest about my resume and work that I wanted to do.  I followed the advice of experts and has thus let me down.  I got into Job 1 where it was not as described.  I was never assigned any work from Day 1 and literally sat in office doing nothing all day every day for over a year. I moved onto Job 2, had very little to do and what little I had to do, I had automated.  The business had no idea and they indicated through positive verbal communication that they liked my work because I always remembered to get things done and this included things that my lead had admitted, "forgot needed to be done."  Suffice to say, I was doing very little work on a day to day basis. With these two jobs in mind, I was grateful to be employed and to have income, but the question that I asked myself as I paced through my condo, "aside from a paycheck, what experience is this getting me?  How can I put this on my resume and move forward?"  The answer was, aside from a paycheck, nothing.  As a matter of fact, if I truthfully put my resume out there, it would continue landing me dead end jobs that I mentally and emotionally can no longer do. I have picked up additional education and certifications.  I have updated my work profiles and resumes accordingly but regardless of what I do, I cannot escape the bad work environments and bad jobs that I am repeatedly shoved into. I moved into Job 3 in five years in November 2022 and I have been outright lied to from Day 1 by a manager who continuously lies.  I have coworkers who are just absolutely evil and for over a year now, I have absolutely no idea as to what I am supposed to do for work.   I originally had been applying to jobs that I want for about 6 or so months but now I am beyond desperate just to get out of this line of work as the toll that this kind of work is taking on my mental health has reached very critical levels. Again, I have been changing my online presence, resumes, appearance, jobs applied to, and nothing.  I do not want to move job to job every couple of years.  I want to be with one company for the remainder of my life.  I just want a normal job but nothing is giving.  I have gone to each job board, company website, contacted recruiters (which I cannot even be civil with anymore) and I am just beyond hopeless and fed up.  Everyone else that I know has moved on in their lives to great high paying careers and here I am, still grateful for pennies.

Arbitrary Changes

 January 4th
...See more I don't know if anyone else has this problem. You do something the way you were told to and then for some reason, you have to go back to a document or spreadsheet only to find that everything has been changed by someone else with no explanation.  I just made this discovery about half an hour ago. Why am I wasting my time collecting data, sorting, and formatting it if someone else after the fact is going to come by and change everything? If there's supposed to be some sort of standard to present information, make a template or something and inform everyone that this is the way you want things presented--don't just arbitrarily change it and not say anything. I have so much to do on a normal basis that I don't have time to check and see if any procedures have changed. And, I'm pretty sure that falls under the duties of a supervisor. I'm currently doing a project management course for school and while I don't understand allthe aspects of it, I can see the relevance of consistent communication between all parties (as well as understanding). I wish my current job utilized methods like that.
