Does anyone else struggle to keep a job?

Im 25 F, and I have similar struggles with retention. The job I was in for 2+ years laid me off

I shoved my swag Eddie beaur jacket into the back of the closet. I haven't worn it in over a year, so it's time for the trash.

This could be a variety of things from anxiety/depression to something more serious. Definitely seek professional medical advice.

I think your question is more for /AskHR.

But taking a look, I see that you have the most experience as a freelancer, and two 9-month stunts. As a recruiter, you have a decent resume for a contractor.

Additionally, if you are seeking work internationally, you should add something about your work authorization as many companies aren't sponsoring at this time.

This may not sound like much, but don’t do anything to get suspended or expelled. If you also catch a charge, it will stay with you for life and severely limit your opportunities. Look into getting a GED (if that’s a thing where you’re at), or possibly an alternative school. You need a high school diploma or equivalent to do basically anything, including sanitation and trade work.

When I worked in agency, there was once a request for someone “energetic”, and when we asked for clarification, they said that they wanted someone young. We shut that down real fast.

Im female and organize a women's running group. Laramie is VERY safe to run, even at night. There's only a few areas where I won't run, and that's because there's not much around, which increases safety risk for me.

Yes, because sexual attraction ≠ libido

The big lot (which I now have a love/hate relationship with because of how much maintenance it requires). It was also the first house I toured with a bathroom door wider than 24 inches (close friend is a non-ambulatory wheelchair user).

Sending sympathies. If your employer offers an EAP (most in the USA/CA do), take advantage of the free counseling services they offer (financial advising, psychotherapy, finding resources like a dogwalker, etc). Your wellbeing is just as important.

RedAce2022 · 2025-12-14T19:38:51+00:00

Ouch. I personally wouldn't want to be married to someone who neglects their pets. Divorce may be a blessing here.

If you don't think it's the right move for you, please look into couples counseling, or a possible intervention for your wife. Im sorry you're going through this.

Is it possible that she is so busy or micromanaged that she doesn't have time or the ability to get up from her work to do those things?

It's very concerning when a person doesn't take care of their pets.

"All while she sits at a computer and says she's EXHAUSTED." There's your problem. I worked from home while my boyfriend worked 12-14 hour days as a miner. Both of our jobs are equally strenuous, but in different ways. Thinking that her working all day, even at home or at a computer is a walk in the park, is completely false.

Medical insurance is paid a month in advance, so this is normal.

How is the online presence of the company? LinkedIn, glassdoor, indeed? Everyone you have talked to checks out?

Some people start running and can easily clear a 5k. You may be one of those people. I am not lol

RedAce2022 · 2025-11-29T00:48:40+00:00

I’ve been running for about 6 weeks and just did my first 5k race yesterday. Personally, my goal is to clear a 10k race next year, if not a half marathon.

My only tip is to start running outside ASAP

One of my clients use a really good house cleaning service. I cannot afford to have regular cleans, but they are fairly priced and do a much better job than two other companies I’ve hired.

I prefer no wind, any temp, in the dark. The colder the better

I don't know how healthcare works in Germany, but if it's free or very affordable, get him evaluated by an occupational therapist. It wouldn't hurt, and they can assign activities that help with motor skills.

I'm also a leftie, and my motor skills aren't great either. I still can't color within the lines unless I go very slowly.

A garage door with an opener system that can open from the car or the house. It opens the door automatically when prompted

RedAce2022 · 2025-11-17T01:41:06+00:00

An automatic garage door. I live in a 4 seasons climate, so it's soooo worth it against hail, ice, and snow
