When I first accepted the job that I had, I was told the work life balance is terrific, it's a corporate office job 9:00 to 5:00, very relaxed even pace job. Okay, sounds terrific. Well fast forward to this week we got a random project that was a pretty urgent project we have to work on. Informed my manager that I had something else going on in my personal life and I would need a little bit extra time, it was like that was completely ignored and I was expected to work all throughout the personal time that I needed. Pounding me every single day calling my cell phone. I missed a work call at 5:50 p.m. that lasted 1 and 1/2 hours until 7:30 at night… I log in this morning she had sent me several emails one at 7:00 p.m. another at 12:00 a.m. who in the fuck…

I can’t fit into this society
And that's fucking okay, I'm breaking the mold of what's normal, I'm doing whatever tf I want. And if that's fucking around or making art then so be it If that's building Lego for a date then imma do it If it's spontaneous going on a wilderness survival trip for a week then fuck it, imma do it I cant fit into this society, minimum wage ain't shit, people here are in it for themselves, no one here seeks higher pleasures in life (which I have a great video for you all) https://youtu.be/GxZSpsaTL2c Anyways, sorry, I know none of you care about me either, and that's fine, but I bring a gift of wisdom and that is the link I just sent. I hope it helps you in your quest within life, as it did for me.
Quit my job and I want to thank you all
Title says it all. I worked for almost 19 years at a major home improvement retailer. There were ups and downs, some great managers and some human trash fires. My particular position was so stressful it was killing me, just leaving me a husk of a human being. I’d thought about quitting hundreds…maybe thousands of times. Considered suicide over quitting at points, believe it or not. Well…the great resignation came along and I found r/antiwork. You guys gave me enough stories about sticking it to shitty jobs, walking, and getting something better that it gave me hope. So…I did that. Got a job at a local competitor. More pay, better benefits, kinder company culture, more company dedication to excellence. I know someone who works there who verifies that these things aren’t just hiring manager BS. I start in a week, and I’m excited. I wanted to take a minute to…
I’m not gonna do a fake employee voice
You saw the title, I'm not doing it, I legit would rather talk normally and besides people like it better. Imma be real, imma talk to you normally. Trust me customers hate the fake voice too “HAI, WELCOME TO STORE PLACE, I DEEPLY CARE ABOUT YOUR SHOPPING EXPERIENCE, ITS MY LIFES DREAM TO WORK AT WALMART!!! how Oh how can I serve you today? c- customer chan? OwO? Y- you're just looking?! Well of course uuh- nice to see you today NYA!”
![img](xo3lasj3m9s81 ” Scabs are downvoting my comment everywhere. Only antiwork can answer this honestly. Please help. They don't understand our sentiments. They make fun of those who give fake answers in interviews. These are the questions which I have to write in cover letter for a developer role. 1. What motivates me: 2. How I maintain energy, recharge, and/or stay motivated: 3. What people often misunderstand about me: 4. How to best communicate with me: 5. What I don’t have patience for: Please give me some answer. The company is more interested in attitude and willingness to learn unfamiliar tech. rather than the previous experience. How should I fool them? “)
Wage negotiation
I worked for a company last year and asked for a raise when I had a offer from another company. They didn't reply to my email and after three days and I pushed a little more to get a response they basically said “I have read the e-mail”. This is after getting a raise that same year so I accepted staying and not getting a raise. Que, this year. They call me back and apolagize that they hadn't been able to reach me. I thought they had just ghosted (I put myself on the list I want to work again next year). So on Wednesday we had the conversation and they sent me work agreement papers. The pay on theese are 14 dollar per hour. Last year i was making 15 dollars. They have not responded to my e-mail from wednesday, from the text message I sent to the person…
Why do I have to work?
It’s too hard and I don’t wanna do it and stuff. Yep. No work anymore and stuff!
