Fired After Major Surgery—Restaurant Betrayal in Ohio! 😢

I’m honestly at a loss and need some advice. I was hired as a manager at a restaurant in Ohio, and after just two weeks, I was hospitalized with serious health issues. I had to have my spleen, gall bladder, and half my pancreas removed due to bilateral pleural effusion. The restaurant assured me they’d support me through my recovery. After a month in the hospital, I was finally ready to return. On my first day back, I asked my boss for a day off because my power had been shut off and I needed to be home to get it turned back on. Instead of understanding, my boss told me we needed to part ways. I’m so confused and hurt—why keep me on the books through my illness just to fire me when I’m ready to work again? Has anyone else been through something like this? I’m desperate for advice or any insight into whether this is even legal. Please help! 😔 #JobCareer #Workplace rights #WorkplaceProblems

My Boss Takes Credit for My Work - Am I Crazy to Quit? 😤

Hey everyone, I desperately need your advice right now! 😩 I've been working at this marketing firm for two years, and my manager consistently steals credit for my projects. Last week, I presented a campaign that boosted client engagement by 40%, and she told the executives it was "her vision" while I sat there speechless. This isn't the first time either. She's done this with at least five major projects I've led. I'm losing sleep over this and honestly considering quitting, but everyone keeps telling me I'm overreacting. 😔 Am I being too sensitive? Should I confront her directly or just find another job? I'm so frustrated and don't know what to do anymore. Has anyone else dealt with a credit-stealing boss? How did you handle it? Please help me figure this out! 🙏 #WorkplaceProblems #CareerAdvice #ToxicBoss #JobCareer

Getting Paid to Do Nothing? Or Am I Missing Something Here? 🤔

So, here's my dilemma: I have a coworker, Sarah, who joined our tech team in Chicago about a year ago as a Software Developer. She confided in me that, in all this time, she's written maybe 50 lines of code—total. Most days, she's just sitting in endless meetings, barely saying a word. It blows my mind that someone can earn a $70,000 salary for what feels like, well, not much at all. Is this just bad management, or is it normal to feel so unproductive in your first couple of years? I can't help but wonder if this is a common experience, or if something's seriously off here. Honestly, it's stressing me out. Have you ever been in a similar situation? I could really use some advice or perspective on whether this is just how things go sometimes, or if we should be worried. 😅 #WorkplaceProblems #CareerAdvice #OfficeLife #JobCareer

Is It Normal to Get Paid for Doing Nothing?

I just landed a six-figure job in a shiny new office, and honestly, I thought my life was about to change. But here I am, a month in, and I barely have five hours of work to do each week. My boss keeps telling me not to bother with the details—"That document is too long, you don’t need to read all of it." Is this a dream job or a setup for disaster? Every day, I sit at my desk, waiting for something—anything—to land in my inbox. I’m starting to feel anxious, like I’m missing some secret rule everyone else knows. Should I be grateful for the easy money, or is this a sign I should start looking for something more meaningful? Has anyone else been in this weird limbo? I could really use some advice on whether to stick it out or jump ship before it’s too late. 🤔💼 #CareerAdvice #WorkplaceProblems #JobSearch #JobCareer

Why Is My Boss Upset When I Leave On Time?

I'm a graphic designer at a tiny startup—just five of us, so you’d think things would be chill. I work my 9-6, finish my tasks, and clock out right on time. But lately, my boss has been giving me the cold shoulder every time I say goodbye. Instead of a friendly reply, I get a grumpy “mhm” or just silence. Last week, she told me to redo a project and hinted I should stay late if I cared enough. I didn’t—because I finished everything before the deadline. Now she says I’m not putting in enough effort and makes me redo my work again. Today, she even ignored me as I left. Is it wrong to leave on time if my work is done? Am I missing something about workplace expectations? I’m honestly stressed and could really use some advice. 😕 #workplaceproblems #careeradvice #officelife #JobCareer

I was caught looking for a job while working at my current company.

Ever feel like updating your resume is a secret mission? I work at a tech firm in Austin, and last year, I made the mistake of adding new certifications to my LinkedIn. Within days, HR and my boss called me in, grilling me about my loyalty. Since then, the office vibe has tanked, and now I’m desperate to move on. But here’s the catch: our HR team stalks job sites like hawks. I’m terrified that if I update my profiles again, I’ll be out the door before I can even say "two weeks’ notice." How do people even look for new jobs without setting off alarms at their current company? I need to make a change, but I can’t afford to get caught. Any advice, or am I just doomed to stay stuck? 😬 #jobsearch #workplaceproblems #careerchange #JobCareer
