Month: July 2022

Saw this in the wild: “I'm hopeful the era of the Robber Barons is coming to an end as more and more workers strike for better working conditions around the world. All of the workers of the world need to come together and go on a coordinated world-wide work strike to show the owners of the world we want more! Let's make the day after Labor Day the World Workers Strike Day, September 6, 2022. Spread the word!”

Typically, during training, you don't get tips. In this case, for the last two days of the five-day training process, I'm “leading,” which means I'm basically serving the tables myself, with the veteran server shadowing me — and then collecting the tips. Which is a bummer, but understandable: the menu's complex, they've got lots of protocol, etc. But now, having neglected to give me study material or explain to me that there's an online module with roughly 10 hours of work/study that goes into it, they want me to do a sixth day of training. Which means a sixth day of working without tips. Also, now that I have the training material, I'm seeing that virtually none of my trainers taught me what they were supposed to (there's a strict curriculum for what you're supposed to review on each day). Should I ask for a percentage of that sixth day's…

I have been following this sub when there was about 500k followers and such. I have seen absurd changes. I just see people complain about a company and not share any relevant details to the company. That’s it… I just see way too much generalization posts. Why can’t we just say “Chic Fila in Houston” or “Amazon in Pittsburgh” It feels like every rant related post is obscure and there’s little to nothing we as a community can do accept grieve and sympathize . Instead these same companies get away with this bs and the original poster goes back to work. This is ridiculous . Antiwork is just turning into a therapy session.

So im 20 and prior to this had no work experience, so a friend got me a factory job (decent) then the factory owner moved me over to a boating goods shop across the road as the sole person in the shop all day, sounds good right? Well turns the shop is a shit heap and my dumbass thought I could fix it and shit but I was a.) not able to do much with certain shit because of red tape and b had to shoulder a bunch of blame for shit, factor in I was given basically task managers would normally do and I thought I could do it so Im partially to blame for jumping into this hole, all this stress for £7.50 an hour and no prior experience whatsoever in any field of work and now im getting hauled into meetings and told off for not doing…

I booked a week off for a vacation next week, as well as a day to go to a wedding last friday. Come this Monday I tested positive for COVID. My symptoms haven’t been great, but far from being crazy sick. I’ve been ruled out of work for this week. My boss is still allowing me to take my vacation next week (as he damn well should). This meaning I will have had 10 days off from work (including weekends). And I could not be happier.
