Month: September 2023

Hey everyone, I have been applying to jobs for the past few months and only got radio silence from employers. I worked at Popeyes most of high school and hated every second of it but was raised on the principles of “if you don’t work, you don’t eat”. I worked as a barista for 3 months after Popeyes and then was able to get a seasonal job as a packer in a Amazon warehouse. After they let me go in April of this year, I’ve been living off savings and financial aid from being a full time student. While actively looking into finding employment because I am only in school because I saw it as a way to stall for time till I found a career path that I wouldn’t hate doing for at least 5-10 years but after being told by 214 jobs that I’m not qualified for anything…

So I am a 20 year old college student. I was working at chuckee cheese for my first 2 years of junior college. I’ve never had any problems there or anything I would always stay out of the drama. I also got promoted and a raise while working there. The general manager that hired me was the reason why the store was stable and running good. When he left the store to transfer in another store in Washington. We got a new general manager and that’s when shit went to hell. The new general manager wasn’t horrible she was good at her job but she was also managing 2 stores bu it’s the senior manager that would take advantage and pick and bully other employees. She has had countless HR reports for not showing up to her shift, having us wait outside for an hour because she didn’t show up…

So I have been working at my job for ten years and the environment has become increasingly toxic over time. I am now thinking about jumping ship and finding another job. My boss said he’s gonna give me a bonus and a raise soon. Would it be a jerk move to accept these things and then leave like a month later?

Honestly 100%. Is there anything bad about this? Companies seem to HATE people who are open about it like me. It's a job, I work for money, not because I want to. If I was a multi-millionaire, I definitely wouldn't ever have worked/work. I would focus on living. But I am a slave.

With a week off from work, of course I had to stay busy somehow so I started with becoming fully rested, and when that got old, I started getting productive, so I went to my storage unit and got a couple things I needed then went and paid a bill in person, and what do you suppose was the consequence of this little outing? While I was at my storage unit I ran over a bolt that punctured my tire, I surveyed the damage and realized if I replace that tire I probably should replace all four of them at the same time now, a total of $1,057. and one of my solar panels flew off from the severe wind, crushing my backup cam which is costing me $88 to replace, I'm not even going to replace the solar panel right now because that has fallen down the priority list…

Hey guys! I'm looking to get some other perspectives before I say something. I recently started a new job… during my training, my trainer took the time to “warn” me about a lady who is on maternity leave. He let me know to stay away from her, that she is a feminist, and that we don't need any of that around here (She hasn't been in the place for months, and not expected back anytime soon either) I was shocked, and am more inclined to make an opinion about the woman, after I meet her. About a week later, I heard a group talking about another coworker (a black man, really nice guy) A lady we work with said that he makes her uncomfortable because “it looks like he has a loaf of garlic bread in his pants” A few of the guys in our group started making jokes about…

Hey there – I'm a non-profit office worker and feel like I've hit a hard limit on opportunities. I'm consistently getting passed over or ignored for leadership and funding in favor of nepo babies, Ivy Leaguers and go-along-get-along types who don't really have vision (at least in my opinion). I'm middle aged and don't anticipate having enough capital to start my own thing any time soon. I've experimented with a few other career paths but have had bad luck with partners and bosses who don't follow through on their commitments. I'm feeling beaten down and wondering if anyone has good resources for acceptance? I feel like the Buddhist concept around suffering coming from desire resonates with me. I want to try letting go of the assumptions I have around success and a career. I can keep trying other paths, but I'm asking myself if this is it, can I learn…

idk if this belongs to r/antiwork but here I go. I work as a credit risk analyst at a well known bank in my country and for the most part, I was ok with my job. Thing is, I'm from Myanmar and a quick google search will tell you how much of a shit show the country is in right now. Our currency has depreciated so much over the last 2 years that I get less than $200 (more like 150 really) if we exchange it to USD now. And everything got so expensive that I'm struggling to make ends meet. With the situation the country is in, I see no prospects in the future also. Oh yeah and the power outages are the norm now so I work hard at day, come home and sit in the dark then sleep (which may or may not come), wake up and…

I think after you've made 1 billion dollars, you aren't allowed to make money anymore, and profits from your company from them on should be shared amongst the workers, or funneled into public funds for universal basic income. With a billion dollars, you will never want for anything, and there's no reason to continue accumulating wealth when you could be making the world a dramatically better place
