  • How to continue trying to find a job when you have lost hope?

    I really hate my job and don't want to work there anymore but can't quit without finding another one because I got bills to pay. The problem is I applied for 25 jobs in the past 2 weeks and got rejected 25 times. Not after being interviewed but being denied to be interviewed. I feel really hopeless about my current situation.

  • How to go about asking my boss for a letter of recommendation?

    I have been working at my current job for a little over a year and I want to move on to something better. I found a place currently hiring and if I get the job I will be making twice as much money, weekends off, and better benefits but the competition is super stiff and a letter of recommendation can really help my chances. I am worried about how he will react because he has no idea I want to leave and because we get along well I am worried he might take my leaving personally. How do I go about asking for a letter of recommendation?

  • Would this be a good idea to get weekends off?

    Every job I had included working weekends but I was thinking about lying to get weekends off when I get a new job. The lie is I can't work Saturday because it's Shabbat and can't work Sunday because I am a big brother. Would that get me weekends off?

  • Employers would you hire someone like me?

    I am not going to mention any companies or industries but this is my situation. I spent 7 years in one industry with an impeccable record and all my references are from top level managers in that company speak incredibly highly of me but then I wanted to take a different path and have been in the different industry for a year but want to return to my original industry. But the kicker is the commute would be 2 hours and I would have to sort everything out with my current job for a few weeks. Would you hire me?

  • Would it be a good idea to talk to my boss about this?

    It's always been a dream of mine to work in New York but I live out of state. So I want to ask my boss if there is anything I can do to help increase my chances of getting a job or at least get my foot in the door. But people I know are warning me against it because they think my boss will get angry at me for wanting to leave the company and fire me on the spot but me and my boss have a good working relationship built on respect so I don't see an issue. Should I ask my boss for advice?

  • Is what I am doing normal?

    I have had a wide variety of jobs and each one I hated. I hate them to the point where I have intentionally made myself violently ill or hurt just so I have a reason not to go in. It's cold and flu season and I do what I can to get the flu because that guarantees me a week off from work. I got food poisoning from pizza once accidentally but kept eating so I can remain sick and get out of work. And sometimes I will intentionally hurt myself in the gym so I can get some time off. Is this normal.

  • I have two questions about etiquette?

    Question 1: How do I repay this woman's kindness?

    Scenario: I collect shopping carts at a major supermarket and there is this one regular who always asks me to get her an electric cart and when she is done I am always there to load her car with her groceries. Yesterday the same situation went down but this time she gave me a Christmas card with 10 bucks in it. How can I repay her kindness.

    Question 2: Is what I am doing bad?

    Scenario: Despite liking my customers I really hate my job to the point where several times a day I go to the bathroom to avoid work. I just sit on the toilet and play games on my phone. One time my boss confronted me about my frequent bathroom habits so I lied and said I suffer from Crohn's disease. Was I wrong to do that.

What can I do to work faster through my pain? I have tried everything over the counter for my pain and nothing is working. I went to the doctor and because there is no injuries they just tell me to take advil or aleve. I currently use custom made orthotodics, good work shoes, and knee braces but they don't do anything to help. what should I do.
