I just started working in one and let's just say I'm really adjusting. They want you to talk and be happy all the time. Some lady bought in a lava lamp for her desk and they were offended that I didn't jump for joy. For crying out loud its early in the morning calm down.

I’ll DM you name of place and person. I still am salty about this it happened end of last year and have been waiting to publicly shame old manager by leaving reviews revealing she is racist. This woman excluded me from group photos and events and tried to get me fired cause she was jealous I got a scholarship to get education at job for being a minority. HR did nothing, I was transferred, and they eventually called cops on me after they told me to not come to work to get me to quit which I did. Lawyers won’t touch it cause I quit. Only thing I can do now is leave a few reviews. Please help me Reddit.

So after getting my poor evaluation because I do the jobs of four people. HR decided to update my job description and now made it even longer. So, now I am doing the job of five people and have to help HR out with taska while also doing my own marketing work on top of it. I have been applying to jobs because I am just so emotionally and mentally done with this job. I also have been printing out emails and things like that tp defend myself because I do not trust this company at all. One woman went to speak to HR about her pay and she ended up getting fired immediately. Now, she is not allowed on the building grounds at all. They gave me a correction notice and 30 days to fix the “cracks” but then they keep inviting me to all of these events as…

Let me unpack. Many of the posts in anti-work are about a time where one male breadwinner was able to provide for their whole family, often without a college degree. Part of the reason these systems worked was because companies didn’t expect both men and women to be in the workplace. They expected one person to work, and so wages were commensurate to a time when there was a significantly tighter labor force. One of the many goals of second wave feminism was to bring more women into the workforce, and for equality of opportunity to work. Well that is a windfall for corporations because all of a sudden you’re doubling the labor force, which keeps wages down. There is good evidence that despite a huge increase in productivity in the 1980s and 1990s, wages didn’t rise in large part because there were so many more workers entering the workforce.…

So our team lead comes out of the office and starts calling one of the new employees stupid because she doesn't know the product yet. I said relax, she's new and she's still learning. He tells me to worry about myself(terrible thought process for a team leader). So we go to pull an order and as we are doing so he asks me a question about the product and I respond and call him stupid for asking(giving him a taste of his own medicine). He didn't like me calling him stupid and said he won't tell me again to not talk to him like that and I wouldn't like what happens if I do it again(sounded very physical threatening at the time). And I just told him to stop calling people names and dodging the blame for things that are his fault(he hit a garage door and blamed a guy…

My husband (38M) has been fastidiously looking for work for this past year. He has very little education but a lot of work experience, though mainly in an industry he can no longer work in since we moved. He wanted a part time job at box store or something, but despite having retail experience he could not get one to save his life. Out of around 200 jobs he's applied to, he was only contacted by scams. He has driving experience and the couple jobs that called him back were things that required he use his own car with little or no reimbursment, expected him to be on call 24/7 but only guarenteed 8 hours a week, drug testing, didn't have any benefits, paid minimum wage, etc. Finally he gets a call from YD, who previously interviewed him but didn't hire him, then 8 months later called to offer him…
