• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

Today I lost my cool and left 45min early after I was corrected for a woman crying because I spoke too low on the phone.

I helped her and accomplished what she needed and she was fine and never cried or complained once but then she called back crying and complained that she had to ask me to speak louder 4 times even though I did my best to speak up.


I got infuriated because I feel this is rediculous and the woman was out of her antidepressants and her mind so it really wasn't even my fault that she was crying. Crying because someone's voice isn't loud enough like come on seriously.

I'm very fed up because every job I get its like your expected to put up with literally everything and kiss up regardless of how rediculous it gets its never okay to stick up for yourself and i am so tired of biting the bullet for a paycheck the wage is terrible I'm a pharmacy tech and it's only $14.80/hr and minimum wage is soon to be $12/hr where I live and i do almost asamuch as the pharmacist literally the only reason I took this awful job is to accomidate my school schedule but honestly I might get fired for leaving early this one time so there's that.

Is this an American thing like we are just expected to be slaves and kiss the ground people walk on? And always apologize for others bad behavior I don't get paid enough not even for a billion dollars i've been at this job 6 months so far and it still hasn't gotten better in fact there's a hole in the roof where it rains and they won't fix the roof.

It's just is every job completely dumb and unreasonable?

First time I lost my cool like that in 6 months at this job and I've put up with a bit so far. Where can I go or move that I actually have a right to be treated like a human being at work?

Denmark
Iceland
Switzerland
Norway
Antarctica
Canada (rural)

Ironically, these places are very cold. Perhaps, something about the cold making people very nice?

Depression can make things that aren't normally a big deal feel like a big deal. Cut the woman some slack.

All jobs have some aspects about it that you don't like. In all countries. That's just a fact.

Have you ever considered getting a job where you wouldn't have to interact with people?

Yeah but to complain about someone who helped u for having a low voice that's very foolish. And I have suicidal depression and i just have to tolerate my life. I'm on meds too but I don't go getting people in trouble with their job because they don't talk loud enough. She deserves no slack. I really don't feel bad for her at all cause of the trouble she caused.

Also if u can name a job where you don't interact with people that's hiring and has a later shift yeah I'd work there. I don't know I'm really thinking u personally must have something wrong with u too not see how she is outrageous and the job is completely unfair. My mom is schizophrenic and bipolar and she makes more sense than that woman did. I suppose u would think it's fair for that same woman to cry for me having hair that's too curly as well *eye roll*.

If u weren't going to agree with me on this you should have just kept your mouth shut cause I had too bad a day. And all my anger I wanted to take out on that woman u get it now so hush.

And also did u miss the part where I said there is a literal hole in the roof where it rains. My company is so cheap they won't fix it and it could cave in and injure someone. Again please don't comment on any of my posts if u have something ignorant to say all jobs have elements u don't like get out of here with that foolishness really a hole right over the computers where water can leak and you can get electrocuted.

You seriously earned this rant. Don't ever open your mouth on one of my posts again archer_on_fire.

No I did not "earn" this rant. And I won't hush. The minute you think it's ok to take out your anger on someone else then I'll get angry. I am not your punching bag.

You're blocked.
