I told my boss that’s okay I don’t even knead the dough
If they can't find someone...
They offer full time contacts but we still have 5 full time places not filled 220 hours, from next month it'll be 7 at 300 hours down a week. We've had 9 people leave since new management team came in. It's get to the point of failure.
We had the regional manager come and talk to us indvyto see what can be done.
Me. Better pay.
Her. We've checked the other places around here, the pays fine. (Lie, £1-2 higher)
Me. We don't like the new management team setting up office in our brake room.
Her. We like to keep an eye on you all, it's not moving back.
We. Don't feel listened to because anything we say is ignored.
Her. sorry you feel like that.
Me. Can I have this training, it'll help with my job, you can get a free grant from here .gov to pay for it.
Her. No we are not doing outside training at the moment.
Rant over. In other news I'm 36 today.
I know this may sound a bit cynical but it’s the true. I wish it wasn’t true. Also, don’t let them stop you from being a good person and find fulfillment in everything you do. Best of luck.
I see it suggested a lot to take simple actions of self-care, like brushing your teeth, showering, or feeding yourself when you're having a really tough time. This sort of advice never worked for me. Even if I could actually manage to do the thing, it rarely made me feel much better. Eating and exercise worked some, mostly because they affect me physiologically, but it's getting myself to do it when I'm stuck in a freeze state that is the challenge.
For me, "self-care" was not self-care because it wasn't done lovingly. It wasn't coming from my adult part. It was just another "should" for me. I should take better care of myself, I should fulfill these responsibilities, I should be more perfect, etc. When I would get stuck in a freeze state, it was because I couldn't keep pushing myself like that while neglecting my feelings. My inner child rebelled and refused to do anything. I couldn't keep going through the motions and beating myself into submission. I couldn't take it anymore, but I didn't know how to approach "self-care" any other way, and so I would shut down, dissociate, and get stuck in depression.
What helped me (what I finally learned to do in therapy) was to listen to my inner child and validate her feelings. She needed to cry, to vent, to rest, and to be listened to. She needed me to be present and attentive to her feelings and needs. And then do what she wanted, without feeling guilty about it, without feeling like I "should" be doing something else, something more "productive." And sometimes that was taking a break and watching TV or napping, but because I was doing it to meet my needs, and not as a form of escape, it was true self-care. Sometimes it was feeding myself or showering, but it was coming from a place of "I would like to eat" or "I would like to be clean" and not "I should be feeding myself" or "I should be showering."
Ultimately, self-care isn't specific actions like eating, exercise, or grooming. It's listening to your body, listening to your inner child, and giving yourself what you need. The need comes from within, and when you sense into yourself and really listen and pay attention, it will be clear to you what that need is. Then you do that thing. Because self-care is ultimately about paying attention to your physical and emotional states and being responsive to them. When you grow up neglected, you learn to neglect yourself. Even if you go through the motions of what people call "self-care" it can still be self-neglect if

I ended up going through a mental battle and thought I hated my job and everything about it, there felt no point really. Nothing stuck in my mind and I couldn't get processes in my head, none of the work was enjoyable and it all irritated me. To the point I was really questioning what was the point of it. I dreaded waking up in the morning and just felt like work was a time to do anything but work.
After a few conversations and dr's visits. It turns out I had ADHD, and a quite obvious case of it. It just got skipped in school because I wasn't disruptive and was dismissed elsewhere for being lazy and not bothered.
2 months ago I started on medication, took a while to get used to... but now the difference is ridiculous. I find myself researching stuff to build up my knowledge, not getting distracted by Reddit as much, pretty much doing anything but work had been reduced massively. To the point where my performance had shot up nearly 500% in the metrics after getting used to the treatment plan and it has sparked my interest in IT again really.
So just as a quick tip, if you're struggling with focusing, getting engaged or finding it difficult to stick to scheduled tasks, resorting to alcohol, getting irrationally angry at minor things etc... then maybe it's worth a quick look. I went undiagnosed for 23 years so it's possible it may help others too and I hope this achieves that.
We're not like surgery, we won't get spinal, plastic or GS money and we can finish our requirements in 50-60 hours max leave us alone.
Don't tell me "if you love what you do you will be okay working 80 hours" BS, I love video games but I'm not gonna play it for 80 hours a week.
Vent ended.
I get 2 hours back in my life when I work from home as opposed to going into the office. I currently work 2 days in the office. The added benefit of working from home 3 days a week for me is 2 hours x 3 days x 47 weeks x $40 per hour = $11,280. If I were to switch to a fully on site job, I’d effectively lose $11k worth of my time.
This is one major factor I think we should all consider when factoring a job change. And it’s why I value work from home so much — I get more of my time back, and we all have only so much time on this planet.
Operator : Thanks for calling Jio Fiber support, how can I help you?
Me : I'm getting massive ping spikes in my multiplayer game.
Operator : I'm sorry for the problem you're facing. We understand your problem.
Me : Yeah?
Operator : So your problem is the pink light.
Me : What? No. Not 'pink light', my problem is high ping.
Operator :Sorry for the inconvenience. So your router is blinking the pink light, right?
Me : Dude no, I'm playing a multiplayer game and getting high ping. PING. Latency. Lag. In a multiplayer game.
Operator : Please give me some time.
Me : Sure.
Operator :Are you using any third party router?
Me : Nope.
Operator : Are you connected to the internet through a VPN?
Me : Nope.
Operator : Did you change the DNS address?
Me : Nope.
Operator : Give me some time.
Operator : Are you playing this game individually or is it a multi people game?
(Yep, he did say 'Multi people')
Me : Multiplayer, yes.
Operator : Sir, I would like to tell you that if you disconnect everyone else, your problem will be solved.
(My man asking me to disconnect everyone else, on the server, in a multiplayer game. A round of fucking applause)
Me : I what?
Operator : When you'll play this game individually, your problem with ping will be automatically resolved.
Me : How is it even going to be a multiplayer game if I start playing it on my own?
Operator : Yes, sir. If you start playing a single game, you won't be facing high ping issues.
Me : I don't want to play a single player game. Don't tell me what I should be doing instead of fixing your stuff.
Operator :I would like to tell you that in Jio Fiber you do not get the ping issue in the single game.
(You see, this blithering idiot is literally reading it off some screen or something and is too braindead to even grasp my point about one of the most basic things to exist out there, and he is actually saying the word 'single game')
Me : How can I even disconnect everyone else on a goddamn server? It's not some family tie that I can sever off, it's a damn server.
Operator : Your issue will be completely resolved if you start playing the single game.
(This is his pathetic solution for the problem)
Me : Do you have anyone on your side who knows a thing or two about the internet?
Operator : Sir, the ping problem will be resolved if you play the individual game.
Me : You do not know jackshit about anything.
This is by far my worst experience with any o

Is it forbidden for me to want to look cute or to want to be beautiful? Is it forbidden for me if I'm not happy how I look to try to change that? People tell me I should be happy about what I have, cause I'm lucky how I look. I WORKED FOR THIS, I WORKED REAL HARD, don't you dare call this luck and I'm not even done yet. Vent over.

I work exclusively on contracts and a lot of the time I don't renew contracts and prefer to take extended breaks when I travel or sleep or just play videogames. Sometimes I'll write short stories even.
Just a month before COVID I concluded a contract and when they wanted to retain me, I declined. Honestly, I had done as much as I wanted to at the company. There was nothing taking me forward and they didn't hold up some aspects of their promises which pissed me off.
Overall, it was a dumb company with outdated techniques and I wanted to do some dumb shit by myself. On my last day my employer got angry and commented verbatim, "you would stay on if you had a family. That's the thing, you are not desperate."
I was like, "umm... Okay."
I currently live with my girlfriend who is a Nurse and i am very sick with covid and she was pretty sick a couple days ago. She had a shift today so she called in and told them she has been in direct contact with me 24/7 and that i have covid. But her supervisor told her its up to her discretion and can come into work and work with patients whom are much older and weaker than i am but just to stay away from other nurses. She also told me that Nurses have a code of ethics that are supposed to be set in stone but this violates one of the most important ones called "patient safety"
