For context, I’m under suspicion and they “haven’t heard back” so I low key know I’m terminated. But is it a workers right laughs I know about letting someone know so they can fully look for another job and pick up personal items? Or can they legally just terminate you and keep your personal items (like a radio)

So I've worked for the same boss for 25 years. When I was hired as operations staff and then became a operations manager. I do manage locations but I've never been good at the sales side. I'm more the person who deals with repairs, store set ups contract negotiations, and making sure everything runs smoothly. The job has been long hours, but the pay has been good. Also I typically get left alone and I don't mind the long hours because I like to keep busy anyway. ​ But the last couple of years things have changed. The boss hired a sales manager 5 years ago and over time things have changed. Then covid happened and things really changed. The lower staff got paid more to stay, the sales manager got to work from home to “protect him”. Then I found out he was getting paid more than me. Not…

I've seen a lot of debate here about what this sub represents and if our goals here should be to completely get rid of all work or just aim for better and more equitable working conditions and compensation. I am not very active on this sub, so I could be all wrong but I think this discussion is not a very helpful one. The way I see it, r/antiwork should be seen as what it is: a platform for information, discussion and calls to action. Really, the revolution is not going to happen on reddit, but we have seen that local protests, strikes or even individuals standing up has had real, measurable impact and this sub can absolutely motivate and inform people to take action. So one the one hand: please don't tell people this sub is not for them if all they want is a fairer wage and better…
