I wish I could just stay at home and pursue my passions, without having to attend seminars and lectures. Every time people talk about commercialising my video games, or ask what games company I want to work for, I just want to scream. Maybe it’s because video games aren’t my passion, but ever since I joined college I have hated the prospect of ‘the industry’ and ‘having a career’. I just wish I could do what I wanted, when I wanted. Because right now, I feel hopeless ️.
I am tired of waking up every damn day to go to a job and to still not be able to afford a roof over my head and food in my mouth. I am so fucking sick of being homeless on and off to the point where I’m severely depressed and full of anxiety due to a basic need not being met. I am so sick of living to paycheck to paycheck. I am so sick of working for businesses that treat me like shit, cut my hours, and yet I’m supposed to endure all of that and not quit because if I do I won’t get any public assistance. I feel like the difference between working and slavery is we are paid and we are granted two days out of the week to relax if you work full time. Slaves were told what to do, when to wake up,…
I’ve worked there for too long and he is far too comfortable with me he says himself he sees me more than his wife. But he’s soo contradictive in the shit he says. For instance he will tell me off for getting rid of something if I think it’s in too bad condition, but he will also tell me off if something in bad condition is kept. And he also only says this shit to me as if I’m the only one putting everything back. Thankfully it’s almost over and I’m pretty certain I can’t afford to do another year but now he’s even stealing my limelight and acting as if he won’t come back like everyone else has let him down haha
You probably heard about Tim Gurner, who said “unemployment should jump to remind arrogant workers of their place” Well after a global scandal he has to apologize. Worldwide workers have seen the true face of capitalism and it's ugly. I think we all agree that work is hurting people all around the World and that the best way of protecting ourselves is to unite and think together on how to fight them back. I think this event is a great occasion to talk about how to have more solidarity between workers around the world. I personnaly don't have a solution for this but I think there is strength in number, we must discuss about this. What do you think ? What are your ideas on how to unite workers around the world ?
I’m in my 40s. I’ve been working since I was 13. I worked right out of high school, didn’t go to college until my 30s, worked all through school, and have always struggled to make ends meet, despite working 40-60+ hour weeks. I bought a house in 2021 with very low interest and although the monthly payments were more than I could afford, I made them diligently for 2 years now. I moved for a job that I thought would be better and it ended up being worse. I couldn’t find a renter so I’m selling the house to take some time off; and between the rise in home prices and my invested principal I’m about to get a check for like 70k. Im thinking of quitting my new current job due to toxic chemical exposure. And I’m having a really hard time reconciling the fact that the first time…
Honestly I’m really pissed. I came on here a couple of weeks ago and took the advice of fellow redditors. My employer treated me like shit and cut my hours all the way down to 9 when I was originally scheduled for 40 hours a week. Once I confronted management they said the most they can give me was 25 hours. Which is still BS and not livable and that’s when I decided to tell them I quit. I filed for unemployment and let them know my hours were cut down to 9 with no valid reason. 9 a week which isn’t livable on top of letting them know management stole from me, lied, threatened, and harassed me so the conditions were genuinely shit there. And I got a letter saying I’m denied unemployment… wtf is that?!?!? Because I “quit of due to working conditions”…. How is it MY FAULT…
Okay so slight exaggeration. I work at a heavily unionised workplace as a casual. Lay-offs are expected very soon due to emergent technology making many positions redundant. Due to this unions are prioritising permanent staff and ensuring they are crosstrained to perform my role. Because of this im being offered less and less shifts eventually none. While i know many people here are gonna point out that management is making the decision towards layoffs but i cant help but feel this is inevitable when the new technology requires significantly less man-power to operate.
So rn I’m working at construction site, I’m preparing myself to get to the job today but this week has been pretty bad for me, I feel so tired and I want to take this Saturday so I can rest Saturday and Sunday but I know my family will be against and they’ll think that I’m lazy and my others coworkers will think the same fucking shit, what should I do?
I brought up some security issues at work to the security group. Boss demanded to see me to ask me questions because my email ‘concerned’ him. I do not trust this boss. He’s already told me things to make me not trust him. He’s dont like him and I do not want to be in a room alone being interrogated. He invited another boss. Nope. Dont trust them either. I feel like I am on trial here. I said I do not feel comfortable. His response. Too bad. Sometimes we have to do things we don’t want to. I looped in my union rep. I will not go without representation because now it’s getting hostile. I said that too Looking for a new gig. This place sucks. But right now all places suck
Currently have a job as a leasing agent and have enjoyed touring apartments, marketing the property, and talking with potential residents. For the first 6 months I was here the property was under renovation so we had no residents and it was chill working there but the past month we’ve had over 500 tenants on the property and we get sooo many people bitching to us on the phone and in person every single day and in all honesty the property is a dump. Seemed like it was moving in the right direction during renovation and I was happy selling it but all of the renovations have been half assed and corners have been cut in every area way possible so it’s hard to defend the company and is also annoying to hear people complain every day so kind of sucks now.
