You read that right. I had an employer message me on a jobsite for a technical director position at a theatre school for kids. It was a good job, close to home, 30-40 an hour. I was immediately excited because they encouraged me to apply, based on my resume. That last detail is important. I apply within 5 minutes, using the quick application on Indeed. Which, I should stress, is how they handle ALL their job openings. Not an hour later, after I'm dancing giddily imagining my girlfriend and I benefiting from the new income stream, after a long drought of employment on my end, I get an email. It says “we have decided to not move forward with your application.” I contacted the business, concerned it was a robot recruiter or possible scam. The owner just goes “No, we want someone with more teaching experience.” I HAVE teaching experience.…

I don't blame you guys for being anti-work, if You can live a decent life without a job and somehow make ends meet, more power to you. It really sucks people need to burn out and work double and triple jobs just go put food on the table, it shouldn't be this way! I can't wait to retire tbh, this shits for the birds.

I started four months ago running the revenue cycle and billing for a pretty large size medical group. Little did I know when I accepted the job offer that this was cleaning up 8 years of damage. I have a lot of experience in this space but the issues are going to take a long long time to fix. To give you perspective: 1. Our processes and the way we are billing many things can be perceived as fraudulent 2. Our electronic medical record and billing system is completely misconfigured and set up incorrectly from a billing standpoint 3. Our contracts are not loaded in the system at all meaning we have no idea if we are getting under or overpaid by insurance companies 4. The vendor responsible for all of the billing functions (it was outsourced two years ago) this has completely fucked up everythjng they have rolled out…

German film called Metropolis released in 1927 (mind you that WWI was only officially over around a decade at this point and WWII was on the horizon) A wealthy young man, son of an influential politician, ventures down into the underbelly of his city trying to track down a woman he met briefly. What he finds is the absolute slave conditions of the workers keeping the city powered, and a terrible explosion occurs, killing many of the workers. He has a vision of the city officials feeding the workers into a massive god-like mask as sacrifices for the power of the city. He goes on to try and make conditions better for the workers, but is constantly being undermined and thwarted by his social equals. The scene of even rows of workers essentially doing a goose march into the abyss for the company just sums up what corporate America expects…

This is kind of just a rant… So, I’ve been working for a small business for the past 8 months now as my first job, and it has been a rollercoaster. I used to make $17-$20 an hour, which for a first job is pretty great, but out of the blue they start hiring new people and now I’m lucky to make over minimum wage ($13.25). I’ve been working at this place for the longest out of everyone here besides the two founders. I used to be working for 3 days a week at one point, but they had so many new workers that they limited me to one day a week, which means I made about $65 a week. I’m working 2 days a week now but they gave me less hours so I’m still not making over $90. Not to mention, my bosses who have yelled at me…

Hey r/antiwork, I've been dealing with depression, anxiety, and PTSD for over two decades, and things have taken a turn for the worse since I joined a consultancy last November. It's been a rollercoaster ride, and I need to vent and seek advice from those who understand my antiwork sentiments. Firstly, the consultancy job I'm in pays well below average, and to make matters worse, the company announced no pay raises or promotions this year. It's demoralizing, to say the least, and the work itself is frustrating and tedious. I've been quiet quitting for the past 6 weeks because my efforts seem to go unnoticed and I’m honestly mentally and emotionally drained. The thought of working for someone else until I'm too old to continue depresses me deeply. I worked for my family's business (a small motel) for a few years, where I had autonomy, could introduce ideas, and had…

Mods here would rather remove posts that have screenshots of SMS or social media now. How many posts over the last year alone have been screenshots of a conversation from an employeer to an employee? Good job mods!
