Antiwork

Today I told my boss, through tears, that I was emotionally and physically fatigued from work and you’ll never guess what happened

I was completely and totally dismissed. Full story: I was flagged for being absent 10 days in a 12 month period, a completely separate issue but get this, I work 10 hours overtime a week EVERY WEEK and they’re flagging me for 60 hours of sick leave, okay. Anyway, so company protocol is I have to sit down with the boss and fill out a form basically outlining the issue and he’s supposed to ask me if there’s anything going on that’s preventing my attendance. He does asks, at this point I can’t hold back the stress tears anymore and I break down. I finally get out the words “physically and emotionally fatigued” and he says “you’ve never brought this up to me before blah blah blah” (I don’t remember). After his spiel he turns to this LEGAL document that’s asking for my input: “[my name] thanksfully declines coment” yes,…

After his spiel he turns to this LEGAL document that’s asking for my input: “[my name] thanksfully declines coment” yes, exactly like that. He spelt 2/4 words incorrectly.

For context I’m a woman in a hard physical labour job and that moron makes double my pay.

Edit: my post history is too outside of this sub so I’ll do a quick clarification

On my minimum wage post: I was explicitly talking about Australia and at the prevailing point was “poor people have a fuck ton of problems in this country but raising minimum wage fixes job of them”

On my depression post: if you read it it’s pretty explicitly aimed at young adults who let mum and dad treat them like they’re 12 because “they have anxiety”. They don’t do school, work or anything that isn’t on the internet because it’s too hard with their anxiety.
