While I cannot say for sure if this falls under the category of anti-work, I welcome any downvotes if you believe it to be inappropriate. Several years ago, I was employed by Home Depot before transitioning to a medical marijuana dispensary. Soon after starting my new job, my former Home Depot manager visited the dispensary to purchase cannabis products. This encounter was quite uncomfortable, given Home Depot's firm stance against cannabis use, while my ex-manager was engaging in such behavior. Needless to say, it left me with mixed emotions. The hypocrisy of the situation was palpable, and I had to navigate a difficult conversation with my former manager to facilitate the sale. The reason for the discomfort was that he personally made it his mission to deny me medical workers compensation for marijuana use, yet here he was in my new place of work purchasing cannabis.

Well guys, after 6 years I did it! I get paid to never work. And I get free flights anywhere in the world as an added bonus. I’m a flight attendant, and we have a two group system. I’ll explain it pretty simple: Newer FAs are called “Reserves” and basically are on call 16 days a month for 12 hours a day. After a few years you move into the other group, “Lineholders”. Lineholders receive their schedule a month ahead of time and can trade/post their flights for pickup etc. If a Lineholder calls off sick/emergency, Crew Scheduling calls up a Reserve to come fill in for them. As a Reserve, you get paid for 5 hours of “work” every day they don’t call you. They call the newest person first, working their way up to most senior. Most of them are under three years of seniority. But, being six…

It’s expensive, time consuming and becomes a maze that leads to where? How many jobs are there are all of the degrees offered and topics to study?

They preach wanting to have persons who provide world class customer service but don't give you the opportunity. You are supposed to take a certain number of calls during your shift as an inbound customer service agent and there is also a time restraint on how long it should take you to solve a problem on a call. So if you don't want to be penalized you essentially have to rush customers through their calls and God forbid a call get disconnected you have no time to call back that person. Then the customers start saying that such and such company has terrible customer service. Pick a side. Do you want world class service or do you want it quick and dirty.

Preface: I'm in the US, midwest My wife's work didn't take federal taxes out on her W-2, now we owe a hefty chunk of money. What do we do? The person in charge of payroll is obviously incompetent, so I'm guessing I'm going to be left holding the bag on this. Please any help would be welcome, obviously any advice wouldn't be legal or anything.

So I have a doozy of a story here for you all.. I'm on the East Coast of Canada in Nova Scotia. I recently had a job as a shift supervisor cleaning a private school in Halifax which was fairly decent and had a crew of 6 other people. It was ok, money wasn't terrible for the work that it is and I got along with everyone ok. The only problem was that the actual company I worked for sucked, couldn't find people to fill in for shifts when we were down a person and I had a hard time getting any sort of support from them at all. That being said I had a decent relationship with the crew and everyone that worked for this school. Now I know the school was becoming unhappy with the company for people missing work due to Covid or just being sick but…
