In British Columbia we have a new law as of Jan 1st that our employers have to give us 5 days paid sick leave a year, in addition to our already available 3 days of unpaid sick leave. I was horribly sick after New Years (Not C19) and my Dr. ordered me off work for 2 weeks. I used my 3 unpaid days, and only 1 paid day to cover me during that time. Last Thursday my little one (8f) got the stomach flu. Just one of those 24 hour ones, but it wasn't pretty (lots of laundry for me and showers for her) and today I'm sitting at work debating whether I should put in for another sick day on this payroll? There was no way I was getting out of that one (I'm single and an only parent) and as a single income home I can't really afford…

It's kind of a bad look when a change in management is announced by the mods and the post is not even stickied (post is here) Apparently a lot of mods of r/antiwork have been purged. The post by the antiwork mods is not stickied and the comments are locked. This is not a good look. A former mod claims the mods voted to remove the top mod. In response the top mod deleted everyone who voted for the top mod to be removed.

I’ve been lately considering taking a year off working completely. I’ve saved enough to do some travelling here and there, continue paying my rent, and just generally being a little more free. Has anyone here done this before and can provide some insight as to whether it helped/hindered them? 🙂

Hello reddit people, I don't usually post on here but I figured I would give the experience I just had a few hours ago at work. I was a night shift stock associate for a big grocery store. And last night was a dark night, meaning that instead of stocking the shelves we were blocking the shelves. Blocking means to pull things forward on the shelf. Well, it's usually 4 of us who are there. Two people (the managers) are doing repack (putting things onto the shelf that once couldn't be put up) and two people are blocking. The other person who blocks with me quit his job two weeks ago. So what's supposed to happen is that the assistant manager would come help me with blocking while the manager does repack. However, I got put to block the entire store by myself for two weeks in a row. I…

If you make money working 40 hours and still can't afford to live in a Consumer Society forced on you then it's: Wage Slavery. Not worth it. Not a valuable use of your life-time. Imposition on the miracle of being a human being against all odds in this Universe. A poor use of your equitable rights as a citizen of a democratic country. Do we have to burn it all down?
