r/Antiwork opposes ableism (as codified in Rule 1) but that is not enough. We call on Reddit to provide accessibility to all. We support the accessibility efforts of r/transcribersofreddit to make a form of it immediately available to our community. We request your cooperation when their volunteers work here. Now, an important message: Excellent subscribers of r/antiwork, hello from the mods over at r/transcribersofreddit! We just wanted to pop in and share a few things with you. You’ve probably seen us around the sub quite a bit by now, we’ve really enjoyed transcribing for you these past few months; you were voted one of our favorite subreddits to transcribe in our end-of-year volunteer poll! We’ve watched your sub grow substantially in this time, it’s great to see so many people rallying behind a cause! What’s less great is that a number of our volunteers have received aggressive messages questioning why…

I’m slavering over the clock right now. Hometime so close and yet so far

Starting a new job soon and want to start off on the right foot. This will be the first place I've worked that has one pool of PTO for everything – holidays, vacation, and sick days. They are offering fewer days overall than I've had in the past (3 weeks vacation & sick, 2 weeks holidays), but if I'm not sick very much I could have more vacation days than I've had before. If you have one pool of days, do you like it? How many days would you ask for? Info: based in USA, PTO days accrue semimonthly, earn one extra day per year based on years of service

Looking to hear about peoples experience of working in Hello Fresh warehouses/distribution centres in the UK. I know in the States the working conditions have been reported to be pretty bad, and want to know if that's the same in the UK.

I see a lot of “xyz company did a bad thing, here’s how we boycott.” I’m curious how effective this is. The Kellogg’s boycott seems like it might have helped negotiations maybe? I often see the “xyz date is don’t buy from Walmart day” or something like that. Curious if these boycotts actually work and what some examples are.

Last week I was directly contacted thru Upwork, which I'm on, about services needed. I interviewed on MS Teams, and it seems a previous employee quit or got fired. They asked me about my skill sets, I'm fairly local which helps, and it seemed a fit. I asked about timelines and they wanted things pretty quick. So, the next day, Friday, I log on, awaiting insight. I also did research into the platform they used since I wasn't very familiar with. Kinda like asking an accountant who uses Quickbooks to learn Freshbooks, or Wordpress to learn Squarespace. (Personally, I think I should bill for that). I sent an email off saying I'll do my research, and send along any info & details as they come. I get a response saying they're working on it. 2pm comes, and I was done awaiting. I sent a nice email, saying I'll likely step…

Ohio unemployment compensation has been restructured to make it insanely hard to get benefits. I believe they are doing this to discourage people from obtaining benefits. As a union construction worker I have used ohio unemployment for the last 20 years while between projects. I have never had the issues that I have experienced over the last 15 weeks. First off was a extremely hard Identity verification process. If requiring a ID to vote is voter suppression then requiring a certified birth certificate, drivers license, w2s, proof off address and bank account verification is most definitely unemployment suppression. The second issue is supposedly the claims analyst are working from home so they have no access to any of your information they basically only have the ability to read to your unemployment correspondences not to help you address them. Then when you finally after several hours waiting on the phone they…
