So we all tend to hate working for shitty companies, no fucking question, but generally speaking if we get a chance to improve our finances we take the opportunity. Hopefully we screw the bosses in the process. So here's my questions, have you managed to do it recently, how did you do it, and how much did your finances improve? If not, what's something that people here could potentially do to help you do so? My story is that last year I got a much better paying job, $11,300ish more, plus benefits in the form of health insurance that cost far less than the amount I had been paying for it, plus a much shorter daily commute. This was after struggling to stay afloat for more than a year and a half, and dealing financial stress that often made me break down and cry at the end of the day.

Hey, Antiworkers. I have been following you folk for a while now and I finally feel comfortable enough to speak openly here. On the outset of my journey following this group I felt you all were just a bunch of complainers, but I can say after reading a lot of you perspectives that you have changed how I view work. I’m still coming to terms with the ideas one this sub, but I’m enjoying the exposure to different perspectives. The amount of indoctrination corporations push is intense, but once you see the other side life makes more sense. I don’t think we were meant to toil our lives away working for someone else just to bring home a few measly dollars. However, as an individual I do value work to a degree. I would much rather be working on things I care about, but a certain side of me sees…

I've been here for a moment. Reading post after post, some of you have to deal with bad bosses and that's completely understood. I've had some management that took the power trip too hard! Then I see other posts where your boss is simply just following legal guidelines. Don't get me wrong, I understand many of your frustrations but I feel like this community has a general goal! Simply to be paid a proper wage and have the reality of surviving without fear of living paycheck to paycheck. The ability to have enough money left over after our bills are paid for repairs and a few luxuries, the ability to buy a house without all these ridiculous price gouging hikes, the ability to buy food and not have to worry wether we should starve or keep a roof over our head. We've lost the most valuable thing too us and…

My wife works for a coffee shop in the middle of a downtown area where cost of living is high. She is paid 12 an hour plus tips. Her manager is the nicest person. The manager defends my wife’s time and energy so incredibly well. The issue is with the business owner. The business has employees that all seem to be worked to the bone, the coffee shop side of things is micromanaged by the owner to the point where it takes 3 months to hire anyone. I just don’t think that my wife is treated well as a worker. The owner has managers working open to close with no breaks, and today was just frustrating as the owner walked into the shop saying that their event next door is going on and they have to stay extra and also cannot pre-close anything. I feel frustrated because as her spouse…

I went to a business as an outside worker today. I went into a room that they use as an office meeting area with a tv and a massive camera under it. I went into the back of the room and somehow the camera under it was connected to the tv and I watched the camera in the TV pan up and zoom in on me. I then freaked out and walked out of the room. New workers going back into the office, beware.
