makes so much sense instead of having a Monday off, breaks the week up beautifully Mon – Wed Thurs Off Friday – chill as work day, leading to a good weekend, following a refreshing monday. plus it would help stimulate the economy since everyone would spend their paycheques on the Thursdays 😛 nothing gets done but that was the best week ever, didn’t know where else to post my win lol
I’d say it’s safe to assume that these people are responsible for someone’s death nearly every day, the enemy seems a lot less powerful when you consider that there are small midwestern towns with more people, make being rich dangerous again
Hei People of r/antiwork, I would like to ask all of you to share your worst experiences in the workplace related to toxicity in the workplace. The reason for this is my master topic, which is to create a videogame that is set in an office. One of the topics I would like to confront the player with is the topic of toxic workplaces. If you are not comfortable to share your stories in the comments, feel free to DM me. Thank you :)!
I work for a corporation in IT. We had a guy we'll call Milo working for about 5 years as a Linux Engineer. He had a certification from a few years ago that was three Linux versions behind what we are using. At this company, an engineer title makes significantly more money than the rest of us “advisors” or “seniors”. Anyway, I've worked here almost two years on the Linux team. Interacting with this guy about work was difficult. He couldn't stay on work-related subjects. Most answers were how he doesn't know something, then has a story that goes with why or how he doesn't know. Or it was stories about the good old days of floppy drives and DOS, then he would talk about going to Jamaica a few times a year for vacation. Here are some examples of incidents over the last year or so: * He made…
For context, I work a rotating swing shift. Currently I am on day 6 of 7 midnights and we need coverage Thursday/Friday due to vacation scheduled by another coworker. There are 5 of us total. We do not have an alternate to cover. One guy is on his five days off, while the other 3 are working their shifts. If someone takes off, that means someone is either coming in on an off-day, which are rare with swing shift. (7D,2O,5A,5O,7N,2O…repeat. Wkdays are 8hr and weekends are 12s) OR someone is working a 16hr shift. Now, for me, if I work the days needing coverage, I will get a double-time day and will have collectively worked 140hrs straight. The only real saving grace is that I have training classes three days next week that I have to leave work for and will be able to go home immediately after BUT still…
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-b_kMiE6WEM lets say we have an abused, underpaid employee at a big chain like walmart or target. Whats stopping him from playing a prank, going to a customer and saying something incredibly racist or homophobic on camera “sorry you gonna have to leave the store, you are making people uncomfortable”. He gets fired. The people sue the corporation for 1 million dollars and ruin them. how are corporations not afraid that their own abused employees wont get revenge this way and ruin them?
So I am 10 days in from completely stopping my Sertraline. I tapered extremely slowly (according to my GP). I was on 50mg for 4 years. I spent 4 weeks taking 25mg every day, then 4 weeks taking 25mg every other day and then as of Monday the 29th of May I haven't taken anything. I am having awful vertigo, which just seems to be getting worse and no matter how much I sleep I'm absolutely exhausted. Does anyone have any tips on how to ease these symptoms? Or do I just need to grin and bear it. I can't afford to take time off work as I don't get sick pay, hence me looking for tips.
I work at a fairly small food service location. Theres one particular coworker who the vast majority of me and my other coworkers are just… over. Long story short they are a pathological liar who specializes in playing the victim and shirking all responsibility. Recently, they got hurt somehow outside of work and didn’t come in for a few days. We had heard a few different stories, but finally found out that they had an open wound that got pretty seriously infected. They came back for their first shift yesterday. Today while working, I noticed how infected the injury really is. A while after their shift ended, a coworker came up and pointed out to me that they were hanging out in the back and rifling through the medical supply bag. I went to the back and they were sat on the floor right beside our food freezer AND all…
