Month: April 2022

I just discovered this today after working two years at my current job with an On-Call system in place. I am a Utility Locator who is on Mandatory 6 day weeks, 10 hour work days. On top of that I am on Mandatory On-calls every 3 to 4 days. From 4pm to 6am or even worse if my oncall is on a weekend then 24 hours. For example if I am on-call on Thursday then I will be on Call on Sunday but I will also have to work that Mandatory Saturday essentially working 7 days a week that week losing my day off all together. I live in the USA if this helps. Essentially my on call can consist of many things. For example if a drunk driver hits a telephone pole, a gas main breaks or water main breaks shooting water every where, ect. I must respond to…

I was recently fired and am trying to claim unemployment. My contract states that I am a salary position and my job is supposed to pay x amount. My last paycheck after I was fired they gave me $400 less. They also docked salary once before because they shut down for covid but the job wanted me to come in and clean and plan which I refuesed to do because covid…. I only missed 5 days of the last month cause they fired me on March 26th, is this legal?

Hi Antiwork!!! This is a very long resignation letter, but it was sent to my now old boss on Monday Night after starting my new Job. After working my first day at my new job, I got to my now old job at 6:15 PM and realized that I wouldn’t be home to see my wife and son till probably 9pm. They would both be asleep and I realized that this wouldn’t be sustainable for even another day even though I thought I could play it out for a month. I decided to type up this letter and copy the entire accounting department. My boss was able to contact IT to delete it from everyone’s email, but I had also sent it to the accounting department’s Christmas text chat to make sure that everyone did see it. For background, I am an AP manager and am always here for my…

Really trying to get out of retail but dont know where to start. I want to start working out of home (my car took a shit a while back and I've been screwed since) so I can have less stress and whatnot. Any suggestions position or company wise?

I have been working a call center customer service representative position for only a month now after two months of training, and my god, I already want to put a bullet through my skull. I thought it would be cool working from home but this job is horrendous. It's not the actual work that sucks, although it is indeed a very mind-numbing job that just has the same exact work process over and over again, it's dealing with pissy and unpleasant customers who treat you like shit which is made even worse from the fact that I couldn't give less of a fuck about helping people with their credit card accounts. I took the job because I was financially strapped, needed income, and have already been getting money from my dear mother, so I guess having SOME employment is good, but jesus christ do I need to get out of…

I got a new job and am quitting this week, and the three other servers are also planning to leave within the month. This leaves the deepnight crew with one manager (the only reason hrs staying is because he isnt qualified to work anywhere elae) one brand new server who has no idea what shes doing. And one host/busser who is a methhead.

My employer is offering compressed work schedules. This is an option to work longer days (9 hours shifts) and get 1-day off every two weeks. In contract I currently work 8 hours shifts and work Mon-Fri every day. I am debating a three day weekend every two weeks, but the longer days seems…rough. It will be an earlier morning and also later nights which will cut back on after work errands and activities. I'd go from working 8;30-5pm, to 8-5:30pm. The daily grind of that seems to outweigh getting a day off every two weeks. I work from home most days so the commute will not change to/from work. I am curious what other people think.

We negotiated a wage increase from minimum wage to 16.00 flat for new hires. On 2/20. The contract states they have 45 days to enact the new wage change and also ammend any retro pay required to be paid. I've been plenty patient, and I know for a fact it does not take 45+ days to adjust payroll for an entire district of employees. It just doesn't. We were just told today by the steward it will be two more weeks until the raise is in effect, and another 30 days until the retro pay is calculated. This is unacceptable, and not what the agreed contract states. I have bills to pay and the only reasons I stayed in this job is for one, because it was literally the only thing here besides McDonald's, and two, because negotiations were under way when I hired on and I knew I wouldn't…
