PROBLEM: I'm desperately just trying to Deal, but I've only been here three weeks and payroll continues to be a huge issue. Ever since day one I've had issues with how things seem to be run.

The management is bonkers about how they do things, such as having a system that allows you to receipt stock but never receipting stock so absolutely everything is out, and insisting that and orders are filed physically despite an electronic inventory that would trigger backorder notifications in the system they used to process it if that stock were recepited in! I feel like I know their system better than they do, but despite pointing out my issues, they keep shifting the blame for these methods onto someone else within the company and refusing to allow anyone to do them.

I had to go pressing and asking to find out simple things like my retail level so I can find out my pay grade, shit that I should have been told when signing on. I recieved no formal training for how their systems are run (I know their program, but it's laid out and named differently and some processes are wildly different for no reason), and I'm being expected to do tasks outside of my pay grade, something now ex-staff had warned me early about.

I didn't even know they'd officially hired me! They told me to come in for a trial shift and then I was rostered on for the rest of the month! I was asked for my bank details but the employer/payroll officer provided none of the finer paperwork for my payroll to be processed for tax, and didn't bring it up until a solid two weeks later.

I'm only a casual but I'm working near full-time hours when I was promised lunch cover shifts, and any request to have a day off has been met with being given a full day shift on the one day off I had. Maybe a few months from now I wouldn't mind, but at this point in time I physically cannot handle so many long shifts when I was initially promised 'maybe up to 17 hours a week'. Later on it wouldn't be so bad, but right now it's a struggle.

My last job only lasted seven weeks (fulltime, emotional breakdown due to stress, thus me wanting the casual position). I feel like that experience could be making me take all of this out of proportion. I want to at least try and find a new job this time before cutting ties but I actually do not know if I'll be fired before then thanks to some staff who told me their experiences.

Would I be the asshole if I quit?

SOLUTION: HYPOTHETICAL

PROBLEM: In high school I had a friend that we'll call Alice. At the start, we were somewhat of an item, but I said something stupid and we had a minor falling out.

&amp;#x200B;

Months pass and we are on great terms again. She got a boyfriend we'll call Chad, her dream lad. He was a hopeless romantic and super good to her at first. About a month later, Chad dumped her when she didn't say that she loved him. He started dating some chick the very next day that he had wanted (and probably been cheating with). This entire debacle sparked Alice's downward spiral into a deeper depression than she had been in from bulimia (which I found out about later), and she called bawling because she was contemplating suicide.

&amp;#x200B;

Over time, Alice started to drift. She stopped responding to me - she was 'fine' and just 'busy'; her Snapchat story showed her at parties. She'd make plans, only to never show, and later I'd see that she had gone to some other thing. I tried to help her out on this for two years instead of just leaving.

&amp;#x200B;

She joined the robotics team with me and some other friends. Another person on this team, Rachel, was an absolute nutcase. Hated me for calling her out on letting my friend sing soprano but not me. Supposedly, this incident was extreme enough to make Rachel contemplate suicide that night.

&amp;#x200B;

During a robotics meeting it came up about myself and the other captain's college choices. I had said that I was accepted to school in Florida and, without missing a beat, Rachel fires out "Make sure you don't remake Parkland!" days after the massacre. I stormed out and found out that Alice ended up comforting Rachel. She constantly referred to me as her best friend to everyone under the sun, but she never acted like it.

&amp;#x200B;

The straw that broke the camel's back was in the middle of packing to move. My family had decided that they were also going to move, with me, 2 weeks before the date I was planning to leave for school, on top of me working full-time, and insulted me for 'not packing enough', when I packed half the house. One day I snapped from all the pressure and went into my room with a blade. Nobody was answering my frantic messages or pleas for help, except Alice. I called her about twenty minutes later, in tears, and begged for help. She laughed and hung up the phone.

&amp;#x200B;

The other day, I'm talking to one of my robotics buddies. Talk turns to the roster. Alice quit. Turns out she's drinking, smoking, and bulimic again as a type-1 diabetic - essentially a death sentence. After thinking about it, all I could say was, "good riddance", in the hopes that she could never hurt someone again like she hurt me.

&amp;#x200B;

TL;DR - My 'best friend' from high school whose life I saved multiple times laughed at me when I called her - suicidal - and hung up to leave me to die. I found out that she is a smoking, bulimic, alcoholic diabetic, and said "good riddance."

SOLUTION: HISTORICAL

PROBLEM: So my brother in law is a piece of work. First of all he’s been to jail multiple times in his life for things that are definitely his fault. He is a strain on society. He doesn’t work and stays at home because he’s lazy and legitimately doesn’t keep a job for more than 3 months at a time. 
He lost his license, and has no desire to work to get it back.
My sister is the sole breadwinner and they’re broke all the time because all he collects is  government assistance. My sister doesn’t leave him because they have a child and she can’t afford to live alone.
So, while sitting home all day he posts multiple things against our political leader (our leader is a decent person and everyone is kinda split half half with liking him). 
He constantly posts against the government and just stupid click bait posts against people who like our leader, and pushes his agenda 24/7. His is the more unpopular opinion, and it’s very backwards.
Finally, I snapped. My BIL doesn’t contribute to our society and he shouldn’t even be allowed to have an opinion against our government because he doesn’t help or pay taxes. He lives off the government. So I let him know that on one of his posts. I’m sick of him pushing his political agenda when he doesn’t even do anything to help out in society. 
Now my family are mad at me, my sister doesn’t speak to me and I look like an asshole to them.
