So I recently quit my job due to coworkers being disrespectful even after confronting them about it, it just got worse. I have files in my google docs that they use daily but only I have access to them and are shared w them. Would it be wrong of me to delete them? Am I being petty? I have no use for them now, and they would literally need to make these files all over again.

punished for wanting more
I've worked at my company for over 3 years as a service desk analyst. The position was an entry level position into IT and was advertised as 1st line role. However the amount of work were doing as first line was different than I imagined, we did computer builds, application support, network configuring, engineer assigning, AD management, Azure management,VPN and MFA setups. That only scratches the surface of what we did all whilst supporting 100 sites and 3 main offices and over 1000 head office users. I thought to myself this is going to do me wonders getting to know these systems but through out the years more and more work got dropped on our heads to take over and when covid hit our 2nd line team got made redundant. The vast majority of their work got placed on us with very little training or knowledge articles that had the…
I am feeling extremely overworked.
For the past few months, it feels like every time I get one thing done, I have five more things added on my to-do list. It’s like I get a little bit of each assignment done, but nothing is ever completed. I have so much to do that I don’t even have time to look at my emails during the day. I literally just ignore it them entirely and wait until the next day to skim through what I’ve missed. It is so frustrating. I have other thing I need to do, but I’m am also being asked to complete other time sensitive assignments. It doesn’t help that one of our teammates just put in their two weeks. I’m planning to ask for a 15k raise in my next review…. but I’m starting to feel like maybe I should ask for more. I’m already looking for other positions.
Requesting a raise
Hello r/antiwork. My place of employment changed the pay scale a couple different times in the last several years. I ran the numbers and with exact same progression and yearly (percentage based) raises, I should be making $1.60/hour more than I am. It may not be much but I feel like deserve it, considering I've been with the company for several years and am currently only making $.38/hour more than the minimum for my position after 3 years of annual raises and promotions. I'm in the process of writing up an email to my HR rep about my concerns with all the math and numbers (double and triple checked), and would love to know if anyone has any tips or advice about how to approach things
Well, when life gives you lemons…
I live in the UK, so some parts might sound unfamiliar to many of you. I work in hospitality and I applied to this job with an average pay, I did my trial shift and received an offer the day after. I was happy until I found out that it was a zero-hour contract (which means that there are no minimum hours guaranteed by contract), which is not what I am looking for because I want to find a safe job during the pandemic. Also, it was never mentioned, neither on the job advertisement or the interview or the trial shift… literally found out at the bottom of the contract. HR assistant tells me to trust him, he assures me that I will get 35h/w no matter what and shows me my future colleagues' timetables to prove that. I don't care, I want something written on paper and I finally…
its not what you know its who you know
Apologize for the ranty nature of this post, but in the wake of 'get ur fkn ass up and work' everyone is talking about how having wealthy parents gets u ahead, but I wanted to highlight that having well connected parents also gives u a head start in my experience. Here are some examples I have encountered: 2 of my good friends from college are from one of the wealthiest zip codes in the country. While their parents aren't the richest in town, they rub elbows with like high profile manhattan socialites. My friends, god love 'em, spent the better part of four years getting stoned on their parents' dime. Somehow they both ended up with six-figure positions at like renowned media companies right out of graduation. I am not saying they didn't do any hard work to earn those accomplishments, but you have to have connections to even get…
Why would I ever imagine it would be different. But I was “allowed” to use PTO to leave early instead of sitting in the dark since I couldn't do any work. If it weren't for insurance…..
…what amounts to 8 days a week as on 2 of those days they are 20 hours each. …just to TRY to make a living wage for my family. I’m about ready to say “screw this” but not sure how we’d survive. Meanwhile, I see people sitting around at home all day every day doing nothing and they seem comfortable. What am I missing? I mean, I know what’s going on but it sure is disheartening to live at work. And, one of my two employers just don’t care. Just work work work yourself beyond exhaustion. The other employer not sure yet as I just started with them.
