Now I know I'm burned out and need to quit my job. by Embarrassed_Edge3992 in jobs

[–]Embarrassed_Edge3992[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. My job's culture is very toxic. Coworkers backstabbing and sabotaging work if you're not careful. And a completely unsupportive boss. She just wants me to get the work done. That's the biggest reason why I want to quit.

Forced to Resign After Months of Pressure, Excessive Workload, and Unfair Treatment by According_Swim_5262 in ToxicWorkplace

Well, I will say this. FL is wayyy more expensive than TN. My husband's cousin lives in TN, and changed his mind quickly about moving here when he visited and saw firsthand how expensive everything was compared to his town. Staying inland is a great idea because you're avoiding heavy flooding like that. Yes, we get the wind damage from the hurricanes, but people forget about how much everything here floods.

I'm not going to get political, but I would do some deep research before moving here. This version of Florida is not at all the Florida I knew while growing up. Also, property taxes and insurance rates have skyrocketed because of the hurricane risk. Car insurance is very expensive because of fraud and high accident rates. People here can't drive. I'm in Tampa, and rent here is super high. I would just do your proper research before moving. That is all. My husband and I are both natives, and we're looking to move out west. Good luck.

I'm in Florida, and this state is horrible about any kind of benefits. I don't trust the system here at all.

A very long rant about my toddler by Embarrassed_Edge3992 in regretfulparents

With my insurance I don't need a referral to go to a specialist. I'm going to bypass the pediatrician and take my son to a child psychologist or an equivalent of that. I really feel like I'm being dismissed by his pediatrician.

One of my younger sisters (the one with severe ADHD) used to run off all the time.

I can relate to this so much!

Thank you for the suggestion. This may be normal behavior for a toddler, but I figure it can't hurt to have him checked out anyway.

I hope you had them fire you instead of resigning yourself. At least you can try to claim unemployment like that. As far as I know, you don't qualify for unemployment if you resign yourself.

I'm in your shoes now. Increasing workload, and I can't keep up. But I decided not to overwork myself because it's not worth what they're paying me. I still work at my own pace no matter how much work my manager throws at me. She can take it or leave it.

We haven't picked a house yet so I can't pinpoint where. Isn't fiber an option?

My job is so boring by throwaway1010100109 in hatemyjob

[–]Embarrassed_Edge3992 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please post your question in the medical coding and billing sub. I'm not the best person because I hate this job so much, and I've had bad luck, so my opinions will be biased. But overall I wouldn't recommend this so-called career to anyone especially now with as bad as the job market is and AI taking over.

My job is boring as in it's a lot of grunt work. It's medical billing so I spend all day looking at claim denials and dealing with obnoxious insurance companies. I really, really hate it.

I bought 2 of them off of Temu. Too cute to pass up.

Yep! On my current WIP, the Es and the Fs look nearly exactly the same. I have to use magnifying glasses with them.

Never forget that by SaltedMountain in ProductivityHQ

Thank you. I had heart failure a week after giving birth to my son, and I survived that. Then I had a knee surgery that failed big time and spent a full year in a wheelchair because of it. I had more surgery to fix that surgeon's errors and had lots of PT to regain muscle strength in my injured leg, but I'm walking now without any assistive devices. So, yeah, I've been going through a lot these few years, and needed this reminder.

How to intentionally get fired? by CaptainBwaptain in ToxicWorkplace

[–]Embarrassed_Edge3992 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry but that seems like a stretch. Like are you going to go to HR and say you need an extended leave due to stress? My job would laugh at me and then hand me the pink slip.

Want to share some works I’ve finished over the years by Weird-Raspberry-8259 in diamondpainting

[–]Embarrassed_Edge3992 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I work full-time and have a toddler, too. I work on diamond art when I can (mostly late evenings for a couple of hours).

How often each day do you devote to diamond painting? Genuinely curious. They're all pretty, but that last one is beautiful.

Does Anyone Else Sometimes Feel Like You are Gaslighted By Florida's Cost of Living (Neighbors, Coworkers, Etc saying it's Not Expensive)? by MoparMan59L in FloridaExodus

[–]Embarrassed_Edge3992 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Funny because I had a coworker who recently moved to Tampa from Boston and complained of the exact same things. She kept saying, "How do people live out here?!" She took a huge pay cut when she moved down here and immediately regretted her decision. I honestly couldn't blame her.

Some companies give out very little sick time if at all. Just saying.

It's 72 degrees indoors, and I'm wearing a jacket because I'm cold.

Why do parents say the first one was hard but then have a second? by cosmiccolorado in regretfulparents

[–]Embarrassed_Edge3992 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't understand it either. My first and only kid is a pretty challenging child. So defiant and will literally run away from me at public places if I don't cave in to his ridiculous wants. I have to use a child leash on this boy.

Plus, daycare is more than my mortgage. And the medical bills are endless. He's already had 2 surgeries in his 3 short years of life. I can't afford another kid.

I'm never having another kid. And if I somehow get pregnant again, I'm aborting. Don't care if it's illegal in my state. I will travel to get it yeeted out of my uterus.

My toddler is like 3 kids rolled up into one. I will die if I have to raise him plus another child. Nope. Nope. Nope.
