Government assistance, because of my Asperger Syndrome, depression and anxiety is near impossible for me to find and keep work of any sort, so I am on disability support pension

i work at Walmart pushing carts full time. I make 8 bucks an hour. And I work every shift. It sucks.

   I was a corpsman in the U.S. Navy, as hard as that was, I at least had people my age and with the same experience, so talking and working together made the military bearable. Now, I work with my father installing tile on a sample board, sounds easy, but the patterns are challenging and working conditions are intolerable, but my father is the most difficult obstacle, he is a lousy boss. poor communicator, workaholic and perfectionist, he would sacrifice me, my life and my time to the altar of ceramic tile if it meant finishing this slavish labour. I would love to earn enough money to start my own work in another region, and free myself from the toil and pollution of my native land, I have been all over the country, so I have a few good idea what to do, if only my family would just leave me be.

I work as a distribution/mail room assistant in a newspaper factory. Mostly inserting ads, though I do go on deliveries occasionally.  I'd like a full time driving job.

Most of my work is overnight or late evening.

I'm the night time dishwasher trainer, and one of the lead dishwashers at the restaurant I work at. Thinking of getting my guard's card and working as unarmed security somewhere, being a dishwasher sucks and I've been there too long.

working is for mortals

I get a lesser form of disability due to autism and crippling anxiety. My life isn't exactly worth much.

I'm unemployed. I have dyslexia, concentration issues, had ADD when I was little and I have been under extreme amounts of stress in the past few years (both my dad and dog died, my mom left me for a few years,...etc) and I really feel incapable of working. btw at present I don't get any government support.

I am very fortunate to have government assistance. Without it I would be dead--let's hope Trump doesn't feck everything up. 

[Dreambiscuit 10,472]

I work at a well-known amusement park in Southern California (the name begins with 'D' and ends with 'land'). I'm not allowed to go into much detail, and that includes compensation, but I do love what I do and it's not really about the money anyway. I consider myself a collector of happy faces and maker of memories. 

I work a morning shift most of the time (unfortunately, since I am NOT a morning person), but it has it's perks. I get to meet the guests bright and early, before they're too tired to see straight.

I have an erratic schedule, so sometimes I work mornings and others I work afternoon, or evening. I work retail, which means minimum wage, so I use the opportunity to its full comedic potential.

Currently a baker for a supermarket, working from 3am to around 12 lunch. It's not a bad job, pays the bills with money to spare, but doesn't give me a sense of achievement. Plus the hours are starting to drive my girlfriend nuts.

[StormBlaze 992]

your poll options annoy me, there is no full time work option (full day 9am-5pm) as that's what I do. I finally got a full time job after 8 years of crappy part time jobs. And its so much better. I have a routine now and I have free weekends to do things instead of worry about which weekend im gonna be called in to work extra hours. 

[nolongerabout 403]

I work for my local council, watering their hanging baskets and flower beds. Normally 5AM to 1/2PM. It's not too bad. I tend to hope for dry weather, because I don't get paid if it rains...

Pay's not too bad either. £7.80 an hour! Enough to survive on, even if the hours are dependent on weather.

Just hope there's not a few weeks of rain like there was a few years back, or I'm buggered.

[EpicEnergy 23,238]

I'm working a job on the assembly line on first shift, and I'm getting paid a decent amount of money.

[Splashee 28,577]

I work from home. I am a Consultant Programmer for various companies.

[Pandora 38,101]

I have different shifts  I can work till late or be home very early lol

[Lucky Bolt 35,097]

I get very random shifts with my job. I work closing, and mid-afternoon hours. I've only worked opening hours once and I honestly liked working those hours the most.

[Jon the VGNerd 887]

To put it simply I'm not employed. Was initially hired to work at an office job but turned it down due to depressing conditions, along with long, erratic work hours (even have to work on holidays too, which makes it less fair). It seems majority of office jobs care more about productivity and less on their own employees' well-being. Truth to be told, even if I'm able-bodied, I wouldn't last a whole week, maybe a month or two, just work at a dead-end job when I know it's seriously going to affect my health, both physically and mentally.

[Dreambiscuit 10,472]

I still work at the same place I’ve been since my previous post here a few years ago, but my duties have changed because of a mandatory age limit on certain aspects of the work. It was heartbreaking to make the change and have to start working behind the scenes, but at least I enjoy working with the younger people there who are still in the thick of things, so I can still keep a hand in the game, in a sense. And I still work a morning shift most of the time, unfortunately. 

[Oblivion 20,275]

I'm currently a security guard at a colledge campus! 

[AriaTheLovely 586]

I work as a PCA so my hours can vary greatly. But one week I work the morning shift and the week after that it's the  graveyard shift along with my usual time in the morning.

[Denim&Venöm 19,667]

Just started a new job actually. 

I now work as a material handler/ route runner. I restock and deliver parts for assembly lines at my local industrial plant from 5am-1:30pm. 

Everyone's taken notice that I've transferred jobs and are surprised I moved after working the last job for so long and are congratulating me on finally moving up, saying I'll probably do real well at this. 

It certainly pays more, is less physical, has less safety regulations attached and now gives me options for promotion and branching out into other jobs. But it's more mentally taxing than the last. Can't just work off muscle memory and be left to my thoughts. I have to actively focus more, be more attentive and memorize little details to get orders accurate, and it wears down on you after a bit. Hopefully after a few months I can get a handle on it and working through this job will be a breeze again. 

Through I do feel bad for everyone at the last department. We were already working as a skeleton crew. I was the only employee on my line. The person I worked with was usually on loan from another department. And we didn't have a third guy hired to help due to it being a slow period. Now I leave and they get to be really short handed. they're nice guys and all but i wasn't gonna tolerate the low pay and us being a low priority forever. Things weren't changing so I took the opportunity to move up. They knew it was gonna suck, but they didn't blame me for leaving. Hopefully they can finally get the help they need to sort things out before things get busy again.

Well, congrats.

Experience has taught me that if you get the job done by working hard despite the low pay and understaffing - the management will give themselves a bonus for keeping expenses low, then look to see how they can get even more work for less money next year.
