I hate my job so bad. Anyone else w similar exp?
Hi. I have been grateful and patient for a long time but I had to call off because I can’t even stand going in. Would like to hear anyone’s experience.

Jobs are hard to come by. Try to hang in there . Do your best even though and perhaps quietly look for another job . If you do leave at some point it is is preferable to leave on a good note and get a good reference.
@777Q They are and trust me I’ve been patient for a year and a half. I was looking for other work. I’m on unemployment and have wiggle room to seek peace from this current job I have. It is toxic and we all have our limits. I’ve been settling.
Hi, I got laid off from my previous job and I miss it dearly. My current job is another interim job until I get a job with my college degree. For the last few weeks I have got 0 hours per week! There is also no union. It's not right to give no hours a week. I didn't do anything wrong besides calling in sick when I was actually sick and I did that only 2 days. I am actively searching for a other job. If your job is toxic, leave. I had experience with that at my first job and it's not good for your mental health. Wish you well :)
@Anonymous I’m so sorry to hear. That’s strange to get 0 hours. You can’t talk to HR? My job is toxic. I’m a lead and all the other leads have permanent stands and make tips. They took me out of mine and have me everywhere. I’m losing money and they are violating my seniority rights. I work at the big bar and do so much for 12 bartenders and they rarely tip. No obligation but a slap to the face. I also have first priority to switch positions and they are making excuses because they are short staffed. I’m losing lots of money and taking crazy advantage of me by moving me everywhere which is more work and later hours.
@Mooooni Do you have a union? I once tried to find HR and I couldn’t. Pathetic company but great to shop at
@Anonymous Yes I went to the union and even followed up. I heard they suck though lol. I’m losing money this weekend but I need a damn break. I’m so sorry again for your experience. Is there anything else you can do?
@Mooooni - Hi, I am just looking for another job. Even my mom said you can't depend on this job. They obviously don't care about us even though they pretend they do. Greedy company. It makes me miss my old job even more which had a union. My current job is so anti-union...gee, I wonder why? If you are looking for jobs even NOCD may be hiring, if you are eligible you can look. I heard government jobs are aplenty too. Best wishes
Yeah my job sucks too. Let’s quick together hahaha
Everyone is frustrating me at work and I’m about to crash out😭!! Maybe it’s how I grew up and have been gaslit a lot but does anyone ever feel like whatever they do they are in the “wrong?” I don’t know …my coworker made me feel like that. What’s wrong to her might not be wrong to me and vise versa. I just wanna scream and throw hands lol. I don’t know if anyone else feels like this. And they wanna have this conversation in front of customers and then I look like the “bad guy” 🙄. So over it. Workplace is toxic asf and I’m trying to find a new job but it seems impossible these days . I feel like I’m not the best at conversations on the spot. That’s why I keep quiet so ion look dumb, but both coworkers came up to me and approach me. I feel like I try and smile and nobody really smiles back. Or when I say thank you and go to places like ulta, all the girls are bitchy. It makes me think am I not smiling enough? Am I doing something wrong? Etc. Maybe it just the people I’m around . I just feel nothing but anger and I’m trying to calm down but I really just wanna go off
(I work at a bank, this is my first full time job. I am in the teller drive through and this is my second week, I am also the youngest and least experienced employee of this branch.) We were extremely busy, there’s only me and one more employee in the drive thru. There’s 3 cars in each line waiting, and I’m overwhelmed and sweating. Spot 4 sends up the tube, and rings for assistance. I speak into the mic to her spot, “I’ll be right with you!”. She begins to demand something but i turn off the speaker because I told her i’d be with her soon and I don’t have time rn. I jokingly say to myself “Girl i said i’d be right with you”. My coworker (who has previously called customers b**ches behind their back) says “that isn’t how we speak about customers, we just remind them again that we will be with them in a minute”. i say “sorry” and speak to Spot 4, “I’m so sorry ma’am there’s a couple ppl ahead of you, I’ll be right with you”, she starts screaming and cussing me out, saying “IF YOUD LISTEN TO ME YOU ****” etc etc “I NEED TO DEPOSIT THIS NOW” i say “okay ma’am”. i’m bad at confrontation, im sweating and on the verge of tears. i finish my transaction and her tube comes back with a 7” stack of u organized and mutilated bills and 3 different deposit slips. I panic, i’m new, the amount is over my drawer limit. i say “i’m not comfortable doing this lady’s transaction, i don’t feel ready, can i watch you do it?” my coworker says “no you can do it”. it’s already 30 min past my shift ending, i haven’t balanced my drawer, i closed last night and opened this morning, im running on 3 hrs of sleep, and i haven’t eaten in 2 days. Spot 4 is ringing again to demand me to hurry up. i start tearing up and looking around for help, i finally grab someone’s attention, and they help me thru the transaction, but it was obvious they were annoyed. i can’t stop rethinking this and thinking i made it all up and im just an idiot. what did i do wrong???? ive been having a panic attack for 2 hours since my shift ended, im in hysterics, it feels like im doing compulsions extra due to the stress
I've been having a really tough time lately with a recent workplace interaction that occurrd today, and my mind just keeps replaying the events over and over. It feels like an endless loop, and I'm finding it incredibly hard to let go. I'm trying to figure out if this intense replaying is more about my OCD, or if it's a typical reaction to a stressful situation that's being amplified by my OCD tendencies. The specific details of the incident involve a colleague engaging in a racially insensitive discussion that I tried to disengage from. Despite my attempts to steer the conversation away and remove myself, the situation escalated with direct confrontation and accusations. This led to significant emotional distress for me. Later in the day, the same colleague misunderstood another conversation, making baseless accusations and publicly confronting me in a very aggressive way. I kept quiet throughout, just a bit of muttering. The emotional toll of these interactions has been immense. Now, my mind is stuck. I can't seem to stop dwelling on every word, every gesture, and every imagined alternative outcome. Hoping I'm not viewed as the "angry black woman" which is such an affair narrative why can't I state grievances of racism, without this narrative. * how do you manage the relentless replaying of stressful workplace interactions? What are your go-to coping mechanisms when your mind gets "stuck" on these loops? * Have you found any specific strategies helpful for navigating interpersonal conflicts at work when your OCD makes it difficult to process and move past them? * When you're feeling emotionally vulnerable due to work stress, what helps you prevent these situations from turning into prolonged rumination cycles? Any advice or shared experiences would be incredibly helpful. I'll be so grateful for any assistance. I just feel like I'm not good at life.
