I'm in a unique situation atm. Someone at my office filed a wage claim and suddenly everyone in the office received back pay. It equaled out to about a full paycheck for everyone in the office. Not really sure why it happened the bossed framed it as a bonus……. come to find out somone filed a wage claim and it was backpay we were all owed. How do I know this? I was called into a meeting with my boss, and thanks to all of you I recorded it. He basically said he knows it was me who filed the claim and this is a sign of someone not being a team player. At first i was confused and let him know I did not file the claim, and if I did this conversation would be considered retaliation in which case, if I did file, he'd get a massive fine…

All my life I have been antiwork and to this day I still am. Last year I became a manager at a branch of a global multi billion dollar company and have carried over my antiwork habits with me. As a result employee retention is at first place for north America and efficency has dramatically increased and profits have gone up substantially as a result. What am I doing that's antiwork you may ask? Well I've increased the length of breaks, do rotating paid days off and at the start of the day the employees know what they need to accomplish and once they accomplish said tasks they get to leave for the day and still get the full days pay. Since implementing these changes people choose to work through breaks to finish their day early and as a result more gets done. For any managers reading this you really…

So I need to vent. I had put in my resignation notice at work yesterday that went to my VP and Director. My Director is currently on vacation so my VP set up a meeting with me this morning. She said that she was shocked by the notice, that it was impersonal (all i said was my last date, ill be closing open tasks, and i wish the company success), and that she thought we had a connection unlike other people in the org where I can come talk to her. I told her that with the offshore project that I fear that I won't have a job after this and I'd rather have a job then be let go. She said she had “plans” for me. She then repeated the connection part multiple times. I'm just like 🤷‍️ ok… on this call. What do I even say to that?…

Hey everyone, I’m new here. A buddy of mine is getting married this weekend. He’s had a really rough life, but he found a good woman and we’re all super happy for him. Anyways, he’s a middle manager at his company and had his leave approved for this week and next weekend since February, six months ahead. Yesterday, he was informed that due to another middle manager getting injured off duty, he will need to come in this weekend and at least half of next week (his scheduled honeymoon). Obviously, he pushed back on his boss and explained (though he shouldn’t need to) that this is his wedding day and honeymoon, the leave was approved half a year ago, there are people from all over the country who cleared their schedules to be here, and thousands of dollars were invested in this. He was simply told that he’s a manager,…

I was told to come in to work today because it would be “business as usual” but zero out of four managers came in to the office. Happy 4th of July.

My life is going to be SO MUCH EASIER. I’m not even afraid the new one will be worse, cause she was honestly hard to beat. My anxiety just lowered by one million.
