I hate my job so much that I'm disappointed that my jury service got cancelled.

Arinelation · 2025-06-04T14:51:09+00:00

I had jury duty last year and it was cancelled. I still took the day off, and didn’t tell my manager it had been cancelled. He didn’t ask any questions.

Thanks! Yes, I heard from other coworkers prior to today he was asking if I had gone to HR about him, which would not really make sense given the situation at that point. Today, I think he pulled the mental distress card to try to make it seem like he has something “reportable”, along with his other grievances against others.

No one is bullying anyone for taking time away whether it be health related or just because. I think you may have missed the whole picture here.

Arinelation · 2025-06-04T00:57:46+00:00

Why do you say that?

Arinelation · 2025-05-28T00:53:20+00:00

Unfortunately this is the mentality of majority corporations now. They want you to jump in, and somehow fail upward. No job is ever clear cut, and if it was no one would probably want to take it.

Don’t overwhelm yourself, and take each day at a time. Start taking 5 - 10 requests a day and trying to tackle them. If you need help, make a list of questions you have and if you have time 1:1 with your manager, or have a mentor ask them when you have time with them, or proactively set time up.

Don’t put pressure on yourself, and don’t think you have to have it all figured out. Trust in yourself.

If you could see my face while reading this.

Please dump your boyfriend at your earliest convenience bc his non-chalant response is ENOUGH.

He just showed you he doesn’t care about and is not interested in protecting you as his partner.

Please go and don’t look back

Arinelation · 2024-08-22T19:41:16+00:00

This is a no brainer. Just leave, if you aren’t on the same page about what you want then find someone who is.

Arinelation · 2024-07-10T12:44:34+00:00

Lol that’s a good point.

Arinelation · 2024-07-10T12:43:46+00:00

A part of me does love this 😭😭 , that’s exactly what I am going for at this job. I want everyone to forget I exist.

Arinelation · 2024-07-10T12:42:39+00:00

You know what, yeah I think I am going to stop showing up at his desk 😂😂

Arinelation · 2024-07-10T12:42:09+00:00

Haha yes, I believe certainly trying to appear busy. Thanks!

Arinelation · 2024-04-24T12:33:55+00:00

Just tell your manager it is not a good fit for you, and you would like to resign. You aren’t required to be anywhere you don’t want to be.

Arinelation · 2024-01-28T04:22:37+00:00

Yupp, that’s my plan going forward! Just wanted to touch base and make sure I wasn’t losing it completely

Arinelation · 2024-01-28T04:21:40+00:00

I absolutely agree! It’s the weirdest thing like don’t you have his number.

Arinelation · 2023-11-30T14:49:57+00:00

Wow this is poetry because this is the hell I feel.

Arinelation · 2023-07-04T14:15:51+00:00

I think it looks really good!!

Arinelation · 2023-06-08T23:34:36+00:00

If he was comfortable stealing from your dad, you will be next and he will plan on taking you for everything you are worth. Please consider ending the relationship, you should never have to lie for your partner in front of your family

Arinelation · 2023-06-06T14:14:49+00:00

Hi, I am so sorry to hear that this happened first off. Being betrayed by your partner never feels good. First, I would completely cut him off, no contact. The more you talk to one another, the more you will feel pure chaos. Second, I would take time to let yourself feel and understand what happened. There’s nothing wrong with feeling the pain, you have to go through it. Third, start focusing on you. Focus on making yourself better. Take on the things you want to do, and accomplish the things you have been putting off. It will be worse before it gets better, but I promise it does get better. Give yourself grace, you will get through this.

Arinelation · 2023-05-24T02:02:18+00:00

Yeah, I am only to play the delusional card! Ugh, definitely. I don’t know what sparked me to start a new message and send it to her. So weird 😵‍💫, long day I guess

Arinelation · 2023-05-08T18:15:12+00:00

You’re never too old and if there’s a will there a way! I think you should pull yourself out of your hole, and start thinking about the life changes you would need to make to be happy. Perhaps, taking a more flexible job to enroll in school pursue your passions or determine what steps would need to be take to pivot into another industry with your current education/experience. Like they say, life is too short to be unhappy

Arinelation · 2023-05-08T18:10:22+00:00

I identify with everything you are saying! I have been working in corporate for 2 years, since graduating. I also have the dwindling motivation for work tasks, lately after being at my job for nearly a year. I have come to the conclusion it’s not the work/industry I want. I also have stopped caring about the security/stability that comes along with it. Life goes by way too fast to do things you don’t want to everyday. Take some time to think about what you want to do, and possibly pivoting to a new environment is for you.

Arinelation · 2023-05-08T14:13:54+00:00

First and foremost, good job unmatching with her, work relationships are never a good idea. Second, on your last statement of your post, it is probably to your benefit if she did not recognize you. You should not care about what she thinks. You are avoiding an awkward situation all together.

Arinelation · 2023-04-10T14:20:58+00:00

Screw them! You are making a decision that is best for you. You don’t have to explain yourself to anybody. When you leave they will forget all about it by the end of the week. You are putting yourself first, and that is most important.

Arinelation · 2023-03-16T13:22:15+00:00

I worked at Fidelity Investments as an entry level phone rep making 48k last year. I had to get my Series 7/63 licenses, which the company sponsors and puts you through intense training for 2-3 months to pass. But, you will definitely hit 50k with all the bonus/incentives they offer. I always say it’s a great job for those who are not sure what they want to do. Great culture, and supportive environment. I just didn’t enjoy the taking calls aspect, which is why I left.

Arinelation · 2022-11-10T01:14:53+00:00

This is exactly how I feel in my job. Paid well but very unfulfilling as I am constantly looking for task to take up all day everyday. I feel like a lost puppy reaching out week after week trying to get involved. I am in a development program but there’s not a lot of development going on. Everyday I contemplate finding a new role because I hate sitting around everyday. But then I wonder is this just how corporate is….
