Month: June 2022

So I join my best friend company to help start it and honestly had to drop my progress on school for it and I’m not complaining about it cause it was only one semester I started but that being said I join cause I see a great big opportunity and maybe learn the business side of it (since that what I was studying for). Since the beginning I let him know whatever I’ll say when it comes to work it’ll stay as a work relationship and separate our friendship from it and so time fly by and I start to see a bit of unfairness as far as pay and the grunt work me and a few other guys are put in so I let it slide by since work is work but today I found out I was getting 16$ compare to what they told us from the beginning…

Hey antiworkers, I wanted to get some skeptical opinions on this. I'm currently employed as a 911 dispatcher in “P” County (all names abbreviated for privacy). I've been looking to move up to another area of the country to be closer to my aging, retired parents, and since I generally like my job would like to take it with me. I applied for the same position in two (well, three, but only two are relevant to this discussion now) counties up in this area, “C” County and “S” County. S County was offering a higher base starting pay, about $24/hour, but the benefits aren't as good. Meanwhile, C County has amazing benefits but a starting pay of about $21/hour, which is less than I make at my current job in P County (not substantially less, but less). I'd much rather live in C, since it has a big city in…

I just spent so much on medications, and also gave them a medical certificate because I think enough is already stated on it that I'm too sick to function (got diagnosed with Myocarditis & acute kidney infection) Company called this morning to let me know that they need more proof that I am indeed sick, and that if I can go back to work within 30 days. Fuck them lol

For context: I got an earful from my boss today because I asked to take the day off to go to my grandmas funeral. She unfortunately passed away after a long and hard battle with Alzheimer’s. When I asked to take the day off to go to her funeral, my boss told me, “if you wanted today off, you should’ve asked me at LEAST a month prior. So the answer is no, you can’t go”. Wow! Yes because I’m magically supposed to fucking know exactly what time and day an emergency is going to take place in my life that will require me to take the day off right? On top of not being able to attend the funeral because of this bullshit, I’m also being verbally shit and shamed on by my whole family at the moment.

Not to take credit from whoever first found this, just thought it was ironic. Someone should take these and paste them over or next to business' original signs bitching and moaning about the country's current economic state. https://preview.redd.it/ue4xnfekyw291.png?width=518&format=png&auto=webp&s=f94520ea0f7f0325db12fa0df8a6bfd561120c6d

My mother has been looking for work for almost a year now. She is fully vaccinated but she is almost 60 and doesn't have her vaccine records from when she grew up in europe and has no idea how to get them. She didn't finish high-school because she got pregnant with my brother but she took college classes here in America. She almost got hired as a receptionist (a couple times) but she couldn't give them a diploma or her old (from childhood) vaccine record, but she has her covid card. I've never in my life had anyone ask for a high-school diploma from me and I've worked in direct patient care, nor have they asked for my past vaccines, just my covid/tdap Is this a normal thing??? She's had successful jobs for years and never run into this issue. I really wanna help her but this is a huge…

I just wanted to see if anyone else feels similar. I was working a job I loved that was part time, I was really happy there and with my life (except I didn’t have a lot of money or any benefits). I recently got a full time job that is great on paper. Excellent benefits, a pension, pays well, co-workers are mostly cool, my boss seems great, and I’m not overwhelmed with the amount of work I have to do currently. But still I just feel pretty miserable. I spend much of my weekend dreading going back to work. The days seem to drag on for ever when I’m there and then I get home and stress about how I gotta go back there in a few hours. I just think maybe I’m not built to work a full time job and I wonder if people in general aren’t built…
