I am out!

I did it, I quit my job! After busting ass in hospitality for 7 years and getting promoted to GM and thinking this was my career path I left. I have been working 70 80 hour weeks for months covering shifts and losing my mind. Begging for help in hiring from corporate , asking for raises for my team and higher starting wages to compete in this crazy job market. Thankfully I was able to get some raises for my team who have been dealing with shit wages through a pandemic but no where near enough they still deserve for all the bs from guests they have to put up with. I am going to miss my team as they are some of the nicest, kindest, and amazing people I have worked with and I hope whoever comes in doesn't try to rock the boat or I will personally help…

So is this a tip or not? Do I need to pay a 22% service fee AND a 20% tip? Because I’m just not going to do that.

Here for my kids

I mostly have a great job. I'm lower-middle-class, money is tight with 5 kids but doable. I have a very in-demand skillset that pays well. Why would I come to r/antiwork for any reasons other than ideology? To be clear, I *do* come here for ideology, because capitalism is bad etc. But the place r/antiwork really hits me in the gut has to do with my kids… When I was a kid, my parents still had a shot. Due to circumstances, my mom had to raise my sister and I as a single mother, and with SS widower pension and a full-time job she afforded a house and a good living for us and is near retiring. I make a lot more money than she ever did, but it's a lot tighter now. I'm nearing 40 at this point, and I really don't think I'll get to retire. I see…

Gave up on an $80,000 a year job, basically doubling my pay. Because they had very poor health insurance.

Title says it all. If these companies aren’t willing to give people decent healthcare, they aren’t worth working for. Edit: I looked into the company more and got more information. Turns out during the busy seasons I would be required to work upwards of 90 hour weeks. This would be operating a spraying rig spraying dangerous chemicals onto crops. For some reason I don’t think that this would be worth it…..
