Month: May 2022

So I left an independent auto company a few weeks ago. Often, they'd talk nonstop about one location like they're the shit. Which they apparently are. They had the highest gross profits constantly. Every month within the company. But the GM and everyone else would always talk about how they have the worst of the worst equipment in the company. The technicians don't even have a roof to work under. Majority of the lifts are outside. Meanwhile, my location was one of the middle earners yet we had the nicest equipment in the company. They'd talk about how if any of us went to the other location we'd come back changed men, like we're going off to war lmao How common is this? I really feel for those guys at the other location.

These companies have no respect for our time and lack professionalism in the way they treat new candidates. Lets stay away from these companies so they will finally learn their lesson.

As the title mentions I work the online store of a brand, have my own online Manager superior, (Context; my work location is inside on of the stores) and my job consists of keeping up daily inventory, adding merchandise, while taking the photography and all that info. I also am the one that handled the orders received. I do all these in the back of the store. Some days are slow, some aren’t. These last few weeks been a lil slow and out of nowhere the store’s manager comes up to me and tells me that the higher ups approve of me now doing associates work, setting displays, fixing up the store, etc… I’m sorry but is that even fair? I’ve always been told and my contract says i work ONLINE STORE, nothing to do with the physical one i simply reside in. To me it seems they lack workers…

I'm not sure if this belongs here or not, but just wanted to rant a bit. I've been on Indeed for a few weeks, tired of my current place and looking for new opportunities. Since I am working have been more selective in what I'm looking for. However ever since I updated my resume, I've kept getting messages from companies. Along the lines of “Hello, _____ saw your resume on Indeed and think you would be a great fit at our company. Please apply for for this job posting.” So if the job looks interesting I do. And never hear back or even have my application viewed. Do places just spam everyone on Indeed that looks like they might have even the slightest connection to their job? How am I supposed to follow through with them when they still haven't viewed my application two weeks after they messaged me? It's…

Just learned of a secret C level meeting where the CEO bragged about rapid expansion being fueled by labor cost savings. A coworker brought this up to our supervisor and the response they got was “the ceo was only talking about the product packaging team” Our product packing team is entirely spanish speaking/hispanic. Our farm operations personnel are 90-95% white. I don't know for certain but I believe the starting pay/pay scale for the product packing team is lower than the farm operations group. still, positions in our farm operations are paid at nearly half the rate of our closest competitors. Correct me if I am off base: it sounds like the white CEO takes pride in overworking and underpaying his employees but especially his non-white employees. I have had my suspicions of these types of shenanigans but to learn that the CEO literally said the words gleefully in a…

In my current position, I work 5 days a week, M-F 9am-5pm remotely. I thought that getting a standard schedule and remote position would really improve my mental health, and it has, but only to a limited degree. I used to work 50hr-70hr weeks in person, in a past role, and when I transitioned to this one it was great at first, but ultimately it still lead to the same pit of despair & regular overwhelming suicidal ideation. Yes, I have more time, but still feel as if the majority of my week revolves around my heartless occupation, rather than enjoying life, because it actually does. I'm living to work, rather than working to live. I want to move from working 5 days a week 8hrs a day to working 3 days a week 10hrs a day without a pay cut, which means my employer would lose out on 10hrs…

A supervisor in my chaotic organization with multiple supervisors keeps dragging me into “lunch meetings” whenever she’s irritated about things I can’t actually fix. I was clocking out on these but it’s really getting to be an irritant – 90 minutes of her rambling, me late to leave usually on a Friday. So in California, can I just not clock out? Organization is overtime tolerant and doesn’t seem overtly sympathetic to this behavior- they just don’t actively stop it.

Longtime lurker, first time poster on this sub. I have been working in health insurance for a long time primarily in the private sector. Thanks to this sub I have decided to implement a policy of doing as much damage from the inside as possible, whereas before I followed the book of rules very closely I know help the members I interact with get exactly what they want and if I can't do that I try my best to get them to annoy the right people. I was wondering if there where any similar sentiments people in the Antiwork sub share ? I tell members often I dont like working for privatized healthcare and I wish the reforms would put me out of work or at least change us into a body that actually helps people. Realistically I can't quit or change jobs as I live in a high cost…
