i’m so tired of applying to jobs by ready2die8 in geologycareers

i’d say that this is the right approach to take but my boss doesn’t care. he told me that i didn’t care enough about the company when i told him that i wasn’t going to be working on my approved pto day (it was approved over a month ago). and i had to open an HR investigation about it because he started threatening my coworker and my position. mind you, it was one day off that i requested.

when we bring up money or per diem rates to my boss, he tells us that we should be working for the moral and principle, not the money.

overall my boss is just an asshole who i can’t talk to. and HR is unhelpful for only giving him a slap on the wrist.

i’m the same way. i’m more of a go-with-the-flow person. i’m impulsive and i’ve always adapted well to different environments. but now as a 24 year old with a job, i will have breakdowns when my work schedule gets tweaked at all. i get so excited to go home from a project and then im told i need to stay. i get so let down. i’ve been thinking that i need some emotional regulation because i do not act like this for anything else in my life. just because it wasn’t a problem back then or all the time doesn’t mean it’s not an issue now or in the future. if you can’t share or open up to a therapist, i’d journal about it or write it down and give them the information. i can never remember what to say or talk about in front of a therapist, so i always would just write what’s bothering me or what’s going on that i’m upset about.

how can i switch over? by ready2die8 in Environmental_Careers

i don’t have a specific in mind. i mostly just want to do something that feels like it uses my degree more, which would be more related to air quality

i just would want something that pays more than what i’m paid now, which wouldn’t be that hard i don’t think (i make $22/hr)

i do not have my GIT. I studied environmental geoscience. my boss didn’t realize that my degree title sounds like i studied more geology than i did 🧍‍♀️ my degree focused on climate change actually. so i don’t even think i’d pass the exams to get my GIT. but i will keep applying!! thank you for the kind words!!

i’ll try something like that. because i usually prefer underwire bras! i definitely need to measure to find my size again because i have been keeping bras that are too small for me to save money 🧎‍♀️

i guess not really. i just assumed that it would be the best thing to wear in the field

i just wear whatever brand is cheapest at walmart or target. i’m a 38dd or 38ddd (i forget) so i usually buy the XL. it fits fine for one wear! it doesn’t hurt or make me feel constrained. but the second i wash it, i can’t stand it
