This is the first “big” job I have had since graduating college. My manager who hired me was an absolute dream to work with. He always made sure our team was okay, never loaded on too much work, and made sure everyone had a great time. Unfortunately, he was forced to leave by our director who refused to promote him out of jealousy because he was so well liked and successful, so he left for a better job. Fast forward to our new manager and the team is in shambles. There is no communication, we are treated as drones, and he has no social awareness. Of course, he is best friends with our director and they make it a priority to make our work environment as miserable as possible. The final straw was when they announced a restructure where everyone in our office who was friends with our director got…

I get the distinct feeling that most of these people supporting remote work are dorito inhaling inсеlz who would spend about one quarter of the time actually working, another playing boomer MMOs like World of Warcraft, and then just half their time jerking off to 12 year old anime girls. This whole trend of trying to dissociate from the real world and live online is giga cringe. My advice to the “wOrK fRoM hOmE” crowd-get up off your ass, take a shower, go to work, then go to a bar-grab a beer, and find a girl and get laid!!!! And again-the crevice of your anime body pillow doesn’t count.

Millenials, I've been on this thread for a while, and all I see is that you don't want to work, jobs are hard to find etc. Aren't your playing a victim here? I live in Russia and we have much more worse economy and level of life, I don't live in Moscow or Saint Petersburg, I live in real Russia, Chelyabinsk. I am 26, my parents gave me nothing except the fact that I lived with them until 19. All money I got was from construction job, later as a salesman and now I work at department of procurement. I started with 1$/hour, I ate the cheapest food I can get, I was stressed and it was physically hard to work ( +35C in summer, -30 in winter) but I kept going and I still am. I think that you are a little carried away and forgot how real life…

I’ve already posted this story before, so if you want to read it, here’s the link. https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/11b5f5z/doing_a_teachers_job_at_ta_wages/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1 The reason I’m talking about this again is because I learned yesterday that one of the assistant principals at the school I work at (who is also the head football coach) has been accused and charged of attempted r*pe. I’m not going to link any articles for fear of retribution, but the school is located in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina (Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill) so you can figure it out on your own if you’re so inclined. What I’m pissed about is the double standard and punishment. I get into one fucking argument with my supervisor and the principal forced me into a demotion and pay cut while this piece of shit (allegedly) tried to force himself on a woman was suspended WITH FULL PAY. Is there something I’m missing…

TLDR: I worked a job selling newspaper ads with an incompetent and mean boss that paid pennies and I'm glad to be gone but I need a job I quit my job over two months ago and am still looking for work (if some needs a “diversity token” bsba in marketing and management with 3 years experience and fantastic writing and people skills) but trying to look for a job is making me wonder if what comes next could be worse. This was my first “real” job out of college, selling ads for a local newspaper. The newspaper is part of a big and obviously very old company, that had recently bought a bunch of local town/city newspapers in my state. And according to quite literally everyone in our maybe 50 person company, this made the job unbearable. Like, people who had been there for 15 – 30+ years quit…

Recently, the company I work for decided to move the time clock to the complete opposite side of the building from our entrance. We work with (packaged) food and drink but must comply with USDA regulations and our own GMPs. This includes donning a smock, hairnet, beardnet, and safety glasses before we can even clock in, since it is located on the production floor. I know nothing about laws, but I do know the DoL gets very upset about working while not on the clock. This is mostly a rant, but advice is welcomed. Legal advice/lawsuit advice also welcomed. Kinda funny this happens soon after being bought out by a larger company with multiple locations, huh? Feel like I’m being nickel and dimed any chance they get. They’ve also so far failed to adhere to their referral program, but that’s another story.

I work for an e-commerce start. Lately their sales is not that good, and the VC review meeting is soon. So the sales team of the firm are playing cheap tactics, like fake reviews: https://preview.redd.it/n3zqit0txy4b1.png?width=1417&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=e627686cf72ecf2c95e73533c82b0276d3f4a216
