Employers today would probably pay us $8/hr to risk our lives like this, but no complaining, because we give you annual pizza

Nobody is even hiring

I've submitted probably 100+ applications for part-time jobs and have only heard back from 1 company. Heard that companies are just posting jobs but not even hiring. Something has to do with the PPP loans a lot of businesses got. Anyways, it's fucked that I even have to get a second job, seeing as I work full-time for a huge company based in the U.S. that's been around for 150 years smh

Graduated college during the housing recession. Wanted to share this message that I’ll never forget. I was an UNPAID intern. Boss threatened my reference, because I needed to come in 1-2 hours later, and was on standby for adding/dropping classes.

Can you get in trouble at work for being sick?

My boss said we are not allowed to get sick for the rest of November/December because it’s a busy period. That’s right not “allowed”. I felt really shaky unwell and it was really hard to even get out of bed but I felt like they would not have accepted a phone call and made me come in. So I went into work so they could see that I’m sick, they just told me to eat something and work the whole day regardless. I went to get food and threw it up straight away. I called them up again to let them know. Next minute 3 missed calls from my boss and a threatening text about how I’ve left work without notifying and I have a “duty of commitment to work today”. Other people were sick during the week and got time off but I feel like I’m going to have…

Spirited Away is probably my favorite antiwork movie. Anyone else a fan?

Job Creators Network is the one suing to block Biden’s student loan forgiveness. These are all the ‘partners’ they list on their website. They claim to be nonpartisan. They are lying.

You'll notice a few obvious conservative links. One such example, the 'Jesse Helms Center Foundation' is particularly interesting considering that man was one of the biggest sacks of shit to ever become a politician. “On domestic social issues, Helms opposed civil rights, disability rights, environmentalism, feminism, gay rights, affirmative action, access to abortions, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA), and the National Endowment for the Arts. Helms brought an “aggressiveness” to his conservatism, as in his rhetoric against homosexuality.” If they are willing to openly admit partnerships with businesses/foundations/organizations that have these type of values, they have absolutely zero right to claim to be nonpartisan. They are conservative pieces of shit trying to block aid to help those in need. Period.

My boss has become abusive. I have some higher ups in the company on my side, but I fear they won’t do much about my boss.

Boss has started saying that I am responsible for finding my own work. I work for a large government contractor, so it’s not like it’s commission based. My boss is supposed to find work for me to do. Boss has also started implying that my position is at stake if I can’t find more work. Boss has implied that I’m a space-cadet dumbass who probably will drive anyone willing to give me work away because of said dumbass-ness. Additionally, boss has straight up told a coworker of mine that everybody hates them and that they are the laziest of all the employees, which just isn’t true. I have some higher ups who care about what happens to me, but I just don’t see anything happening to my boss. At this point I’m looking to work in a different group because I cannot stand being in this group any longer. The…
