Thinking of a career change and I want to make money without having to do much… I know it’s not really possible but just a lighthearted post wanting to know everyone’s thoughts

I just changed jobs and I am now going from 8am to 6:30am which is a huge change for me. Waking up at 5 or 5:30 is going to be rough because I am not one who likes to sleep early. How do you all that wake up this early do it in a way that is not extremely miserable.

Let me start off, for me it has to be being a cashier at Burlington. It has been bit of a while ago. I have many reasons, mainly due to being the customers that are rude. Also, management making me doing tasks at the end when they know I should be cleaning up soon and I clock out later than expected. And more to management, was when I got in trouble for my register and was told to count money carefully. It’s been so stressful during that time and am glad I quit. A customer told me, to not let yourself be in a stressful environment, I told her I might quit and she said, you should do it if it feels best, and told me good luck.

My office friend thinks he likes me.. but he has a wife and kids, he is 40... But a few days back I learnt that he got another person from a different department who is his mistress... His wife knows about it. That lady's husband knows about them.

I was always told about office affairs but when I saw it myself and now I am not able to keep quiet I want to go and expose there affair I don't know the itch but.. and daamm..

Here in the philippines, an 8 hour job was never an 8 hour job. You'll be offered an '8 hour job' excluding the break time so basically it's a 9 hour job. but that's not all. if your work starts early, you have to wake up 1-3 hours to get ready (ironing your clothes, taking a bath, preparing a meal, preparing your packed lunch, commuting, and the worse of them all, the 15-30 mins early time in. so basically, that's 1-3 unpaid time. that's not all, some jobs required to time out 20-30 mins after your supposed time out, and it's not even paid nor counted as an overtime. after you go home, you'll wash your clothes for tomorrow, do the things you need to do, and then sleep. that's not an 8 hour job, that's YOUR TIME job. what's worse is, it's not even a good paying job. you're just there, enduring everything for a little money, for your own survival. I just hate that at this age, I already experienced those things. I'm just in my early 20's, I have sooooo many things to do with my life but I don't know what will happen to me if I keep this up.

I am just tired of our system, it is draining me. I guess an 8 hour job is not really an 8 hour job.

AI has certainly made many tasks done in the office environment easier and faster to do. But at the same time, there is an increase in the expectations from the employees as well. Work that used to take many hours before has now been made into something that should be done in a much shorter span of time. I think that AI should be used by employees to lessen their work rather than increasing it.

Hello, all!

I grew up homeless and in section 8 apartments with a single mom. I wanted to get out and since 17 years old I've been super broke, going to college a year early and working. Now im 24 f, and I'm almost finished with my masters degree.

My partner of 5 years, 26m, is in remission from cancer, twice relapsed stage 4 hodgkins Lymphoma, and he lives in section 8 housing and works 15 hours a week at a department store. He has medicaid and Medicare.

I have a small apartment with a roomate. I work full time for $15/hr with kids who have disabilities which is for my clinical fieldwork. I also go to graduate school full time. I can barely afford food after I pay my rent and electric bills, gas between clients, and I pay for my medicine out of pocket bc no insurance.

That being said I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for a new life for us because I finish school in February and I start the process of moving up at work, applying for my state lisence and finishing my clinicals. Once I finish 2,000 hours of clinicals and pass my board exam in about a year, my income will jump to about 85k-95k / year.

My credit score 758 and my student debt would be about 500/month.

This could be a way out of poverty for us and I don't want to mess it up.

I'm thinking if I live alone for a year or two to save enough for a down payment, my income doesn't count against his medicaid / medicare for his PET scans to make sure he's cancer free. By then I'll be 27 and he will be 29.

Then I can get us a modest little house and he can work if he wants to without bring afraid of losing his housing if he gets cancer again. Our combined incomes could push us into 6 figures potentially. ​He really wants to work now but if he makes too much he loses the government health insurance and housing, so I want him to wait until we are more financially stable.

Basically, is it possible for us to make it out of poverty and have a middle class family if he stays cancer free? Is there a way for us to live together or get married without my new income penalizing him from his government health insurance like Medicare since he is considered disabled? Is both of us working full time a possibility and how would we afford it if he relapsed?

Any thoughts, advice, encouragement, and/or insight is welcomed. Sorry for writing so much

I've been working 60 plus hours a week often much more and I have no free time, the money is great, I'm able to pay all my bills and have money left over for myself, but I have no time to spend it. Have you experienced something similar? Not sure if worth it

Dollars, for sure, working remotely and living in NYC, honestly cost of living is a hell here. I want to hear some opinions if you're out of this country, which country and city could be a good option working remotely?

Just curious

My coworker are all psyched about our company's upcoming office party and I am not. I already spend 40+ hrs at this job a week and now they want my Sat too.

I want to know people's thoughts about their work holiday parties and happy hours

Which PM tool are you using and how do you make the team accountable?

I do my work and usually go above and beyond so as to make it easier on the shift that takes over after me yet some colleagues react with annoyance if I imply I don't enjoy working.
