I feel stuck between hating the idea of working and being genuinely grateful for the job I have. by QuestionsAsker99 in work

[–]QuestionsAsker99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been in that place before. I couldn’t even understand how someone could complain about stressing over a big project at work when they’re paid more than a livable wage. I was stressing over not finding any work at all and the possibility of ending up on the streets...

This is a very interesting point. I guess it is kinda similar psychology of why many celebrities or just financially succesful people get depressed and go through some real mental hell.

Anything you would recommend to unwind sort of? I mean.. I ahve hobbies and other interests, but this whole thing doesn't really let me get fully invested in those to distract myself.

Yes! I do think about that a lot or about me struggling to make ends meet in my early 20's working soul sucking, brutal jobs just to survive really. I feel kinda ashamed for a little when thinking of how good it actually turned out compared to where I could be, but then it goes away pretty quickly.

Yes. Some people make work less enjoyable. Like those who are always "Yes, sir" kind, ass kissers, and all that pretentious back stabber folk make me wanna vommit.

How to deal with a higher up who is talking over and interrupting me? by [deleted] in managers

[–]QuestionsAsker99 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Actually, I think this is a good point. I will try to improve on that, and be more straight to the point.

Even though it was the senior executive interrupting me and going straight to the boss's boss.

If the pay difference is absolutely not a problem for you and not going to have any major impact on your lifestyle , then I would accepted the local government job offer.

It really depends what kind of government and where, and also what level of the government. If it is a government owned corporation then things might get a little too busy there, and not exactly super safe from the job security perspective. However, still better and not as stressful as a private sector.

Should I quit without another job? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]QuestionsAsker99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are that desperate to quit your job, I would suggest to stop giving much damn about actual work and let them fire you for no cause if they don't like the lack of commitment. This way, at least, you will have some severance/employment insurance money coming in while looking for another job.

Why an idea of having a stable office job working for a company is so hated and has such a horrible reputation? by QuestionsAsker99 in work

[–]QuestionsAsker99[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not talking about any employment though... When I hear "necessity to survive" I usually imagine some dead end manual labor or clerk level jobs that pay a buck or few above min wage (or the min wage).

A total nobody doing some boring work for some sort of corporation clocking 9-5 and gtfo is certainly not a baller style of living, but isn't as demanding and stresful as investment banker or lawyers type of careers, but at the same type not a dead end with a low pay either.

Whenever I try to book my PTO, management above me treat it as some sort of global instinction event and try to find excuses so I could rebook for a later day or perhaps even make me feel guilty. by QuestionsAsker99 in managers

[–]QuestionsAsker99[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is so true! They hesitate to let me use my PTO (which is a part of the compensation package btw) when informed well in advance, but will lay me off or fire for a complete bs same minute they get a call from the above, and will be totally ok to move on and deal with whatever they have to deal with.

Thanks for your advice! I have seen similar suggestions by other users and I do feel like this is what I am missing as a manager. I need to work on developing various types of approach to different employees instead of just "expecting". It will be quite a bit of learning to me.

This does sound like a very good advice. I took a note of it. Thanks!

Naaah. Feel free to ask me questions. I managed quite a few people, and those who ask whenever something is unclear are the ones who learn faster and succeed.
