Senior staff member is inappropriate with me

(I’m not super sure this fits the antiwork sub) I (F, early 20s) work in an office. One of the most senior members of staff (M, around late 50s / early 60s) makes me really uncomfortable. Every time I walk past him, he stares at my breasts. Not just a glance, a glance would be fine, I think it’s normal to have an occasionally glance. He stares for notably longer than is comfortable, and his eyes legitimately widen when he’s staring. However, when I am wearing a thick, oversized jumper that is so boxy that you cannot see any shape to my body, he barely ever looks at me when I walk by. Even if we speak, he barely looks at me at all. But as soon as I lose the jumper? Completely stares at my breasts, pretty much every single time. For context, he sits on a desk very…

Is being homeless or living in car better than filling someone else’s pocket

People pay half their income to rent so that another man can fly on vacation with this money or get himself another nice car. Not everyone can afford to own a home but isn’t it ridiculous to pay off someone else’s investment instead of leaving this damn system? Option would be: -Live in a tent or in a car (if the country has warm temperatures) -Move to a very cheap country, get an online income and rent a place for only a small fraction of your income Especially for single men in western countries this high rental shit has become absolutely ridiculous.

“Shame is a powerful tool” – my ex manager

After going broke and trying to get through a strong bout of depression, I was hired in a new role that genuinely makes me happy. I went through it with my last company, they really beat me down. To celebrate I decided to finally let the last company hear me loud and clear. Fuck you!

Even when you’re a customer they don’t give a dam.

Please delete if not allowed and sorry for the grammar. I work in retail so I understand how tough it can be and this is not throwing any shade to the workers, but the company on how they handle things. I was supposed to receive a Coles delivery that was at 1:30pm and I kept on getting notifications that it was delayed, last text I received was stating that it would now arrive at 2:58pm, well it never came. I called the costumer help line twice, at 6pm the first person said it was on the way, only 15 minutes till the driver would drop it off. The second time I called it was 8:46pm and they said that unfortunately it can’t be delivered till Friday (so two days later) for the inconvenience caused they would waive the delivery fee and $20 credit for my next order, not this one,…

new boss already micromanaging almost everything i do

started this new job thinking it was different after i just left a job with the same problem, and 5 weeks in wouldn’t you know the same thing is happening lmao. strike 1: i’m a temp, so i’m not a salaried worker and have to clock in and out of shifts. forgot to one day, apologized profusely and explained what time i left and they proceeded to tell me “this organization doesn’t pay for travel time.” implying… something i never said and already apologized for strike 2: reprimanded for helping coworkers with workload/shadowing on the job before asking manager first – idk maybe this one might not be that serious but it just felt childish strike 3: for context, i work in hr and do a lot of hiring and onboarding. led my first call and shared a couple days later that a new hire contacted me with questions and…

My manager is telling me using the bathroom is stopping me from getting a bonus

Hi all, long time lurker first time poster on antiwork. This is mostly just a vent. It's kind of funny, kind of not. I work for an insurance company call center, and I'm fully remote (thank goodness). The job is fine and it pays well enough for now. My manager and I meet once a month to discuss performance which includes things like after call surveys and call length etc etc. We get paid bonuses based on our stats as well, which is great. Well, my manager has talked to me every month about my time away that I use each day. Time away is just away from desk instead of being available to take calls. She says that if I had less time away from desk, then I could get a extra $100 bonus every quarter (very small amount I know). She also includes this in my review. One…

Worlds richest douche calls WFH a moral issue

It goes both ways , asshole… People who make your food, they can't afford Healthcare, but you can have private doctors …? People who make min wage , they can't afford rent, but you can buy your 10th mega-mansion ? People who build cars, they can't afford the cars they build, but you can fly your private jet ? And are the ones with the moral issues…
