Previous post: https://old.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/13r7n7u/my_manager_collected_donations_for_me_but_kept_it/ I just want to clear something up since I've gotten harassed over it. These donations were collected less than a year ago after our whole office had been strictly WFH due to covid. I continued working from home until I couldn’t, which was last week. I wanted to give everyone an update because some were asking for it so I hope this is OK. I used a compilation of some of what you all said and emailed my coworkers from my personal email. I explained the situation and requested they get their money back because none of it was actually donated to me. I also requested they send a screenshot of the donation as proof so I could see what I could do legally like pressing charges or small claims court. Mainly wanting proof this actually happened. So over the weekend 8 of my coworkers responded. They…

A handful of you asked for an update to my post about quitting my job that denied me a raise: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/13ifdn9/deny_me_a_raise_okay_i_quit/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=1&utm_term=1 I put in my 2 weeks notice 15 days ago. My coworkers are scrambling to figure out how the clinic will function without me, as I’ve been the ONLY medical assistant working Sundays for the past few weeks. Our NP and medical director have both joked about everyone else needing to “get it together “ to make up for my absence. After our temp manager put in a request to hire a replacement for me, the hospital announced it would be reassessing our clinic’s staffing budget, so who knows what direction that will go. Earlier today I was officially offered a job as a research associate for a local health department today! Pay is the same but benefits are WAY better, I won’t have to work weekends/holidays, and my…

Had a baby this spring
I had a baby a few months ago. My job, despite being open for 35+ years and being woman-owned and always preaching about woman empowerment, never had a maternity policy before. They “never needed one” – apparently nobody’s ever been pregnant before. My previous manager, who quit 2 months before I gave birth, had informed them I would work full time remote until I was able to obtain full time childcare. There was no issue with this. My new manager, previously my colleague in my department, along with the owner’s husband, called a last minute meeting last month. The owners of my company have rescinded my ability to work full time from home because they’re old fashioned. They included my infant daughters name in this contract I had to sign. I have to start going back hybrid this week. If I’m not back full time 9/1, I can “train my…

Clifton Strengthsfinder
If your employer asks you to take the Clifton Strengthsfinder test what do they use it for? What are the potential implications for this exam? If you or others have taken this at work how have you seen it used?

Was this response appropriate?
My job is a counselor at a college, I help students with their classes and what not. For weeks, the dorm students(we have a small dorm housing here) have been working on getting a garden started and they been building a little greenhouse. Today, a strong severe storm rolled through the area, I was working late, me and couple of students moved the little green house to a safe place but the wind still tossed it around and slightly damaged it. My “boss” blew up at those students blaming them since they properly didn’t secure but it wasn’t their fault so I had to speak out….. This is what I said in our group chat.
Title pretty much says it – I have a hard time understanding the mentality of anti work, but mainly because I chose to work on the things I liked, and found a way to monetize them. Am I the enemy here?
