thank you for coming to my this

Update 7/12: my wage claim with the department of labor got dropped. since I didn't report it immediately, it looks like it could've been voluntary (it wasn't, I just didn't know there was a way to cross-check time logs until two months in) and of course I'm looking forward to seeing that money (around 35hrs unpaid, if my math is right) but now I'm just furious that it happened and there's probably not going to be a resolution, that workplace will just get away with it. at this point, as dumb as it sounds, I almost regret speaking up about it. it feels like I'm the only one in the situation who cares about rules (or y'know, federal laws) being followed.

“but I stay silly!”

on it boss

Start disappointing people and not backing out of it when they are upset, reject feeling ashamed of everything including of yourself, start saying No to things you do not want to do not just things you're scared of, do more of those things you're scared of but wish you could do, make your own plans and execute them, decide to do or not do something without basing it on who will Dislike it.

Update 7/10: I'm heading out shortly to another interview. I'm paying for the room for another week after I get back, thank you to anyone reading who helped me do that! I still have to pay every week, I'm trying to keep myself fed & housed while looking for a job, so anything helps!

checked my email and found out the dept of labor rejected my wage claim. my last job got almost a full 40hrs of unpaid labor from me, slowly over a couple months. I didn't notice right away, and my case got dropped because I can't prove I didn't know the whole time. why tf would I know something like that is happening and not say something for weeks??
