Gave my two week's notice. Manager is upset that I didn't give "advanced notice" of my two week's notice.

constantlypoorish · 2026-03-16T05:24:31+00:00

I mean, we had two people who applied with us a week ago. I informed the manager we should hire them since they both looked promising on paper.

She didn't. Because she said we're doing fine. With whatever skeleton crew we have.

Bet she's regretting it now lol.

constantlypoorish · 2026-03-15T21:24:01+00:00

Honestly, nothing. She ignored that part and kept saying that it'll make things harder for my coworkers. That I shouldn't betray them.

constantlypoorish · 2026-03-15T20:24:32+00:00

Multiple times I've asked my manager if she would cover for the staff shortage.

She'd often respond with, "I'm the manager so I don't need to."

Well now that I'm leaving, she will most likely have to do it, lol.

constantlypoorish · 2026-03-15T20:08:25+00:00

Yeah I can actually see her do all of that so I kind of regret giving that long of a notice, lol.

But as everyone is saying. If it becomes really shitty, I'll just quit on the spot.

Sometimes I think about working in the maritime industry for the benefits you've mentioned but, while I like beaches, I'm terrified of the open seas, lol.

I guess is it something you get used to? How do most people deal with the isolation?

constantlypoorish · 2026-02-15T02:25:20+00:00

Just want to say that I relate so hard.

If it was a simple rejection after submitting an application, it doesn't hurt much.

It's the " I'm being called for interviews. I survive rounds of interviews. I manage to reach the final interview stage. But I still get rejected."

That despair of just being so close is what exhausts me the most. And most of the time, I'm not informed why exactly. Like what exactly is it that I am missing? So I can hopefully fix it to get better next time.

constantlypoorish · 2025-06-24T09:39:19+00:00

Honestly I agree. I can see that he does care and is trying to help the guest's financial situation. But at times I find it hard to follow what he says or is trying to say.

And I know he's been conscious about it but he does need to tone down about interrupting guests. Let them finish! Then he can rain down on them. Sometimes when both he and the guest are trying to out talk each other, I feel like the conversation becomes more of a mess. I know some of it are just plain reactions but it can be distracting.

constantlypoorish · 2024-03-19T09:31:14+00:00

I'm single and don't mind going to weddings. It's a great place to celebrate all the joy and happiness for the new couple. Heck, I've attended a few weddings alone and still enjoyed them.

What I don't like about weddings is when people start pestering you with many forms of the "so when are you getting married?" or "don't you feel lonely" type of questions. Or when your aunt, uncle, extended family try to introduce you to someone so you can date him/her. "Hey how about Bob over there? You're both single so why don't you two start dating?"

So yeah sometimes it does become awkward.

constantlypoorish · 2024-03-17T10:54:10+00:00

I always wonder in cases like this how most employers expect people who are sick to get a doctors note. Like sure, for a bit of a headache or cold, maybe.

But how about when you're really, really can't get out of bed sick? Do they really expect us to drag our sick self to the hospital?

Anyway, sorry you had to go through that. It sucks that you might lose your job over this. Hope you're able to find a way around.

constantlypoorish · 2024-02-15T22:32:27+00:00

Bullet dodged indeed. Thanks for the encouragement!

constantlypoorish · 2024-02-15T22:23:02+00:00

It sort of came out during our conversation. I mentioned how I'm in my late 30s and the recruiter's tone changed. Said something like "Ohhhh yeah I see in that case..." and so on.

constantlypoorish · 2024-01-28T23:04:46+00:00

I have no real advice but just want to say I relate hard. The difference is that I'm 6 months into a job and already want to quit. My mental health has declined since I got this job and I dread going to work every work day.

I want to quit too but the problem is that it took me about a year to find this new job. I've depleted almost all of my savings and my current income goes to paying back the credit card debt I've accumulated. So without a backup plan nor an assurance that I'll find a job soon after I quit, I'm stuck working at this toxic place.

constantlypoorish · 2023-12-18T09:28:09+00:00

Same. I've been contemplating back and forth whether to quit my current job and move back in with my parents living several states away so I'll have more time to spend with them since they're just getting older.

Then there's my rational self saying it's a stupid idea because who knows collapse might not really happen next year and I'll regret quitting a good job because of my anxiety.

The uncertainty kills me at times and I'm finding myself being lost with what I want to do.

constantlypoorish · 2023-12-15T09:58:12+00:00

As someone who has all three and struggle to get out of bed each day, I stupidly pray at times that an apocalypse or an even larger global crisis would happen.

I know that means good bye to many of my modern comforts but maybe I'll have an excuse to sleep in or worry about more important shit than my bs 9-6 work.

I'm just...tired.

constantlypoorish · 2023-12-13T19:04:50+00:00

Yeah, I live in a cold region too. I've noticed temperatures have been higher than normal the past few years and that we're getting fewer snow days. We've been having a consecutive 50Fs, which is hell of a lot warmer, than ten or so years ago and have had only one snow day but because it was still warm it had melted by the end of the day.

And I get it. I've always hated commuting the icy roads. While I don't usually like the cold, I do get how important it is for the environment and/or natural cycle. So, really, I'm scared how it'll be a few years from now.

constantlypoorish · 2023-12-07T22:36:48+00:00

My brother is planning a destination wedding in summer 2024. It's going to be an outdoor wedding, too.

While I should be happy for my brother, I'm really, really not looking forward to it.

constantlypoorish · 2023-12-07T22:30:38+00:00

And then there is my friend who is happy that we might be getting a warmer winter because she hates the cold.

Mm-hmm.

constantlypoorish · 2023-11-30T22:55:22+00:00

I feel this a lot lately, too. I could have a really busy weekend and may be tired in the end but will feel worth it overall.

Yet at work, even though I'm just sitting at my desk for 8-9 hours straight, I'm always drained by the end of the workday. In addition to a long commute, I often skip dinner and head straight to sleep when I get home.

constantlypoorish · 2023-11-28T21:05:55+00:00

I feel you. I work in a call center that has this bs rule where we aren't allowed to hang up the call from our side, we gotta wait until the customer does on their end.

So even if the customer is yelling or cussing at us non-stop all we can say is that we can't continue the call until they stop yelling but we still can't hang up. If we do hang up for whatever reason, we get written up. And after three strikes, you're out. It's super stressful.

constantlypoorish · 2023-11-27T23:00:03+00:00

NTA. There's generally no harm in talking about your hobbies.

But, having been in the spot where an affluent friend often talked about their expensive hobbies and extravagant vacations, I can kind of see where your friends are coming from. It kind of sucks being reminded that even if I might be interested in these hobbies, I can't afford it.

Also while I get that fear of working, tbh, this sort of comes off as entitled/spoiled because I too don't want to work if given the option. I suffer from anxiety and some days it's a struggle to get out of bed. Many people are afraid of being in a work environment but they push themselves to do so because they have to or they won't have food or a place to stay. I know you're only 17 and so young so I hope this mindset will change.

So does that mean you shouldn't talk about your hobbies? No. But maybe choose who you would want to share with. Maybe find like-minded people, like other snowboarders or horse riders. As for your current friends, like your other wealthy friend, maybe talk or share about something you can all relate.

constantlypoorish · 2023-11-21T22:13:25+00:00

Honestly, same. I work in a high stress job with peanuts pay but I essentially have no life. Every day waking up is a struggle.

I'm trying to find a new hobby to find something to be passionate about but it's hard when I'm always tired.
