How did it work? Was it organized? How'd you know what is needed from you? The whole thing.

Why do I ask? I am in my first corporate project, and something tells me that this is not exactly going the way they are really supposed to go.... But I have no reference points. Can anyone share their experiences being an individual contributor to a corporate project?

My job includes some queue work. It's not our only priority, but it is a priority. Me and two coworkers share one queue, we are all expected to be working off of.

We have the queue where the three of us are assigned the task at the same time and a spreadsheet where we mark whos working on what when. We have metrics and a lot of evidence showing who does what.

I have a degree in math and data analysis, so the stats are something I read daily.

The metrics point out that I do 96% of the queue work, I do as many as I can do while keeping up with my other priorities. My two coworkers each do 1%. That puts us at 98% completion every week. That means that every week our backlog grows by 2%.

This is not related to dating in any way. I'm thinking about work mostly.

I remember my first job. It was a community owned business and felt valuable. It taught me how to work hard and have fun while at work. Some of my best memories are there. I was there for years and moved up the ranks. I attribute my work ethic to this job. Everyone there worked hard. I think maybe you can attribute a lot of that to the small community I was raised in. Hard work is super valued in that culture.

My next job had pretty high standards, but instead of community impact, the measurement was product moved in a certain amount of time. It was fast-paced and challenging. And gawd, I loved it. But I also love m

It's grown so slowly and incrementally over 17 months. At first I really liked them. But I didn't know how much of that like was the shallow sociable exterior they present.

17 months in, I feel an intense hatred and anger. I hate these guys. I feel like an outcast, but I'm not. I get invited to all the lunches and socials. I'm well liked, it seems. We have good conversations sometimes. But I am being professional. Personally, I hate them with a fire of 1000 hells. Gawd I hate them.

I understand that this workplace culture is a mega mismatch for my personality and working style. I want to leave. But the job market suuuuuucks so bad right now. I'm still pretty new to the industry, too, so

Look, I get just doing your work and going home. In fact, I support it, and I encourage it. Don't work unpaid overtime for your employer.

That said, though, take some goddamn pride in your work. Don't go above and beyond, they'll make it the expectation. But don't do so little that you make everyone else's job harder.

I work in an essential industry. If my job doesn't exist, you have no electricity. There is no power to run the hospitals or light your house. I went into this industry because I wanted to do work that matters.

But apparently to my coworkers it doesnt fucking matter. Just an example, some of my work is queue work, its just how its organized. Three of us share one queue, w

I thought my responsibility, ownership, passion, and attention to detail would be an asset at work, especially in the field I work in. But no, nope. Apparently, not wanting to talk about football all day is a grave sin. Wanting to get work done is a grave sin. Thinking there should be expectations and that the queue should be 6 months old is a grave sin.

"No one is checking, so why should I care?"

"No one said when we should get it done, so why should I do it?"

What the actual hell have I walked into?

What should entry-level jobs be able to afford?

Housing?

Food?

Medical Care?

Phone?

Car?

Electric?

Gas?

Water?

College?

Imagine a scenario where someone's parents don't pay for all that after you turn 18. Maybe the aged out of the system, their family died, their family is broke. What should an 18 year old "entry-level" person be able to afford with their full-time entry-level job?

I am struggling to wrap my head around it. For background, I am a year into my first corporate job. Some of my chief complaints are a lack of direction and priorities. I am a driven individual and definitely find work for myself to do, but I'm largely confused. Everyone just tells me to "enjoy the autonomy!" So, I'm here to ask about it. Please be kind, I am learning.

My concept of work is that an employer needs a job done, work completed, tasks accomplished that they hire someone to do. Within a role, I expect that there is normally a department required to fulfill the overall goal, whether it be customer service or programming or HR. There is a purpose that that department is supposed to

I am relatively content with my life, graduated college, got the job, got a car, have a bf, and a roof over my head.

But I'm petrified every day. There is nothing that isn't tainted by the anxiety.

I've tried countless meds. I've tried therapy. Nothing changes.

I don't even fight it, I live my life despite being afraid. I go to work. I go out. I do new things. I do old things. I hang out with coworkers and family and my bf. I talk to people. But I am afraid. Always afraid.

I can be having a panic attack and hold a conversation you would never even know, unless I cry, sometimes theres tears involved, but if not, you can't tell. Idk what else to do, I just have to keep going with the a

Graveler is great for rolling through blocks and punching works for so many blocks tall, but above that, how do you break blocks without zapping them one at a time with magnemite?
