Back story: everyone at the company works from home right now besides me and the office manager. Since I've started working there I made an eBay store which has made them almost 20k in recouperated costs (old computer parts we have no use for anymore). A couple weeks ago they gave me a $1.50 raise which honestly was kind of insulting given my value to the company. I want to mention this in my letter but I don't know how to bring it up. This is what I have so far “Hey I overslept this morning but I thought really hard about it and I'm going to resign. My schedule right now Monday-Friday is I wake up at 6am to get ready and leave my house by 7:15 to make it in on time. Then at 5 when I'm off I don't get home until 5:45 if I'm lucky with…

whats up antiwork, about two weeks ago i had my final day at work, i was expecting a final physical paycheck, but instead they direct deposited it, which is fine, but i guess the next payday they had accidently paid me too, but i thought that mustve also been my final paycheck, now they call me today asking me to call hr so they can walk me through the steps to reverse the payment tl;dr job accidently pay me twice now they want the money back 3 weeks later what should i do? i think imma just ignore, my money now

It's not a bed of roses over here and it isn't helped by the Government announcing benefit cut after benefit cut for the unemployed, but jobs are out there for the suitably qualified and we don't seem to get anywhere near the level of crap that you guys have to put up with. US Co's appear to want stupid hours for minimum pay and no benefits such as health insurance etc (we have the NHS so unless you want to pay for it, healthcare is free). I've read a ton of posts about forming unions at the risk of losing your job – it's nuts! I worked for a US Co '14 thru '20 (but based in the UK) and it took me a while to fully understand the paranoia everyone suffered over losing their job. I totally get it now. All the best guys – nobody deserves the shitty…

Blows my mind his level of surprise. Do they honestly think we just sit here and play dumb? Apparently they do.

Listing after listing, despite having worked consistently for a few years, and you feel ineligible. Maybe it's the requirements? The “at least 10 years in x” line that many seem to have. I don't blame people for quitting and not finding anything else beforehand. What a horrid process.

I really love my job. I work in a unique field where it’s notoriously impossible to find an actual career, but I have found a company that trusts me to do my job in the way I see fit, with coworkers who I like and respect what I bring. All of this being said, a mixture of complacency and fear that there are dozens of applicants who would love my job, has caused me to let something slip. I haven’t received a boost to my compensation since I started working here. This is where antiwork came in. You guys reminded me that I offer a lot to my company, that I have grown and improved in my role, and that every year I work without a raise, they are effectively giving me a pay cut. So I approached them. I asked for a nearly 20% raise. Had to jump through…
