Mostly a rant, So i work in a field that requires high degrees, in most cases if you don't have a PhD you are doing mostly manual labour and nothing more. In my work place they decided to do the opposite, the founder has no formal education on the subject, and the acting manager with the most seniority (not discounting her at all) has a master's degree, but seems she hasn't had much additional education in the last 10 years. Yesterday they were arguing with me about something basic that i learned in bachelor's. Two processes that have the same name, but they are completely unrelated. (Think or a term like “activation” that can be used in a myriad of unrelated things). Even though i told them it's unrelated and just a waste of time and money, they are doing it anyway. This is akin to painting your car red…

My 3 months notice ends tomorow. To be fair, since they didn't find any replacement, I offer to take the entire week to write a document about how to perform my job, since I'm litterally the only one in the office who currently knows how to do it. My 2 managers agreed, my first one even telling me to stop my other tasks (that I wouldn't have time to finish before tomorrow anyway) and focus on that document. But my director, the higher in the company, is going absolutly nuts. He is constantly coming back and forth, giving me new files to analyse, new clients to phone, new websites to complete, etc… needless to say, he seems to be just realizing the amount of work I was providing, and is really scared about the future potential fallout. I'm really divided between finishing my document and not doing any of the…

I was thinking anitwork would be a good sub to finding this kind of job without any bullshit. I have to best internet I can buy locally, a phone and a high end computer. Is there anything i can do for extra money or is this just wishful thinking? Also, I will have a full time job outside of this FYI.

Just because I hate my boss. That’s really all. I have enough money saved to not work for two months and now I’m just biding my time. I’m a manager at a restaurant. Today we had a manager meeting. The GM praised the other two managers for coming in in their days off, staying late, etc, etc… we all work about 55 hrs a week, sometimes 60. They believe I don’t. My time logs say differently. She told me that I need to “work on coming in early, staying late, and coming in on my days off.” I’ve worked there 6 months. I’m always available. Last week she asked me if I could work Monday. I was annoyed but said okay. Then Sunday night she was like “I know you’re not happy about working Monday so…” “it’s really not a problem!” I said back “No I got it covered!” Okay.…

serious question

They come to work expecting you to be friends. You come to work expecting to be paid. You are not the same.
