Vent Your Frustrations • Page 114

Thank you! The websites expanded too fast and with that momentum, I think my bosses wanted to push hard to keep it and forgot that we’re actually a very small team trying to run as a huge one, lol

 

So my dad passed away in Dec and I finally got access to his trust. He unfortunately owes the irs some money so I’m trying to do the right thing and pay it. Though the irs website using direct pay requires me to confirm his identity. I’ve tried many times to no avail. Even calling them multiple times and going over everything I’m putting in and they confirmed it’s all correct. Very frustrating because I’m the executor of his trust and I’m trying to get this done so I can give my sister her half.

 

The job market right now makes you feel so worthless. I've been unemployed for three months now and I've done interviews with four different companies, several rounds each, and keep getting turned down in favor of internal applicants. I totally understand that and I'm not upset about that, just frustrated at how laborious the process is and how few responses you get.

 

This was supposed to be the first time in my entire life that I was going to live somewhere that had AC. I turned it on for the first time today and went into my basement and it is leaking water everywhere. So looks like I'm gonna just spend the summer sweating bc I can't afford to even have it fixed right now. I knew when I bought the house it was a possibility bc the furnace/AC are both like 30 years old but I was hoping I'd get a few years in before the problems started. Can't wait to spend tonight not sleeping and just contemplating my life choices and why I bought a house as a single poor person lmao

 

Getting constantly hassled by management at my job because my production is low despite having one of the best quality stats in my entire department.

It's like sorry I am taking the time to make sure I am doing my job correctly and providing the best service possible. A few times a week I find myself wasting time fixing mistakes of people who get lauded by management and get hundreds of dollars in monthly bonuses for their production.

So today I have decided I am going to stop giving a shit about doing my job well and just be as fast as possible, because apparently that is all they care about.

 

In general annoying/comical work stupidity I had a meeting today with a handful of coworkers and people from leadership because some vague project we’re supposed to be completing this year has everyone stumped on how to do it. So we met today discuss what our goal was for 2023. Today is June fucking 8th and only now do we have a little bit of a clearer idea on what to do, which easily identifies the first six months of this year to being totally wasted and there damn sure ain’t no way I’m going to let this screw with my raise/increase next year.

 

I've been in the hospital all day because for the last week, I've been unable to think, I have tunnel vision, brain fog, losing my ability to type or have conversations, shortness of breath, falling asleep everywhere, sweating profusely, etc. and my fiance spent the ENTIRE day complaining about how long we have had to wait, how uncomfortable she is, and how she just wants to be at home on the couch. When they came in to tell me they have to wait for a medication to come in from their main campus, she got upset, so I finally told her to just go home and I'll call her to pick me up.

I understand it's been a long day (started at 2pm, now it's 9:42pm), but I'm pretty pissed off that she couldn't be more supportive. To her credit, she spent a lot of time in the hospital growing up and she finds being in one to be triggering.

 

So the girl I work with I’ve rented about in another thread, the one I thought was cool then wast, etc. she got hella fucking mad at because the “door was locked and she was waiting outside for 10min”. Like 1, I didn’t hear a knock. 2, I told her to go around to the front and she made a big deal about it. Basically she’s too fucking lazy to walk like 200ft or not even that around the building and said she parks in the back. Like so does everyone else and people don’t complain if they have to walk around. She got snippy and said they door needs to remain unlocked like she’s my boss. I told her no it actually doesn’t- bc it actually doesn’t if there’s no one in the building. For safety reasons. It also frustrates me how she doesn’t listen to any of my instructions (I’m the lead). She’s a lazy worker and I’m not the only one that’s notified certain things she doesn’t pull her weight on.

edit: she’s also one of those young coming off entitled workers- and that’s why I’m in agreement with those that say the younger generation doesn’t listen to authority (I’m the lead) ITS BC THEY (SOME) ACTUALLY DONT LISTEN!!!

 

I heard that my dad is apparently getting released from federal prison next June. I personally would have preferred if he just fucking died there instead, and no, I don't feel even remotely bad for saying that

 

Someone around me is fucking drilling something and it’s fucking 3am. The disrespect. I know if I complain to the office nothing will happen

 

I’m starting a new job a week from Monday and I still haven’t received a written offer. I got a verbal offer two and a half weeks ago, agreed on the salary and start date, and have been completing all the employment forms. They sent over health insurance forms to make my selections as well but still not written offer or contract. The HR person I’ve been working with said I will receive a written offer, they just need the president of the company to sign it. This was about a week ago. I’m not really concerned about the offer being revoked but I’d really like it in writing so there’s no uncertainty or chance of anything changing.

 

got back from vacation and found a BIG roach in my house. ready to burn the place down

 

Yesterday was a shit show at work. I’m the lead and NO BODY listens. My manger is aware because I told her this before. She’s out for the week so I have to talk to her again and say that I feel like nothing is being done about people not listening to their lead. I can’t do some or my duties because others can’t work independently. I don’t get paid nearly enough to deal with this bs. It’s shit like this where i keep says are one of the reasons why I want to leave

 

My apartment pool keeps closing due to people throwing rocks and furniture in it. I don't even use it but like why?? It's a heat wave like let kids have somewhere to play. I don't get why people feel like they have to ruin it for everyone. And if the cost of something is built into my rent I at least want the option of using it

 

My work will fall apart without me. The fact that I’m not confidant in my team to handle things when I’m not there is really sad. I see how they work when the manager isn’t there (not listening to me, again I’m the lead and I’m responsible for running the back office so it’s not like I’m acting like a boss). I’m constantly feeling like I’m picking up peoples slack. My manager is already aware of one girl who has trouble listening. Let me add some of these people have been here for over a year. I feel like they don’t take me seriously or respect me. I also cant complete my duties bc i feel like i have to babysit everyone watching if they’re actually getting things done.

To make matters worse the front desk girl doesn’t know anything. Like she’s not properly trained in a lot of basic areas she should already know for the amount of time she’s been there. I know more than her and I don’t even work the front (and of course I don’t get paid extra for it (: ) I tell her “this is what is needed…” only for her to say “idk how to do that”. Not sure how to bring that to my manager bc she’ll just make me learn how to do it so the girl who’s job it actually is doesn’t have to do it. ON TOP IF ALL MY OVERWHELMING DUTIES I ALREADY HAVE

It shit like this that makes me depressed bc I have no one to talk to about my day when I had a bad day like this.

 

A lil townhouse I like has gone up in price 202% since it was sold last

 

when nobody fucking covers for you at work so you can’t even take your birthday off

 

I’m taking Christmas leave though

 

Has anyone dealt with a neighbors barking dog in an apartment and how did your leasing office handle it

 

I owe $250 for a 15 minute doctor appt where I talked to them about the pros/cons of a specific treatment that wasn't even done at that appt. That'll be another charge I'm sure. US Healthcare continues to be a scam

They let me select an interest free payment plan but like whhhhy is that the total after insurance

 

Ask for an itemized bill and dispute any charges that didn’t happen. I hear of people doing this and got their bill lowered

 

Basically getting told at work that raises will be coming in a few months, but then when those few months roll around, it’s going to be another few months… it’s happened 2 or 3 times now.

Just feels like when you look around, the whole world is breaking down and I’m sick of it. Tired of busting my ass for nothing.

 

Things were okay at work for a bit before that new person hired ended up working in a different department and therefore not helping me anymore, then I had a good week after telling my boss it was getting too much for me again, and now it’s been two weeks of stress and exhaustion and me telling him three times in two weeks that something has to change or I’m going to burn out. They’ve made me into a content mill and the only time I can do fun stuff, like write features - the entire reason I became a music writer - is after work rhours, sacrificing my little free time. This week, I’m the sole staff writer while most of my colleagues are off at a big fuck-off conference. Yeah, they’ll be around in the mornings, but they’re not going to help me. I don’t know how I’ll make it through this week and whatever comes next without support.

 

My bottle of coffee creamer fell out of my lunch bag, opened, and spilled all over the underneath of the passenger seat. Tried to clean as much as I can with a damp cloth. Next is to attempt to carpet extract before I have to get it detailed (it needs a full detail I just don’t have full detail money)

 

I absolutely LOATH that. It happened to me last month and it’s such a hard area to clean
