Category: Antiwork

So i work as a part time worker at a hardware chain store, (lets call it “blows”) and I just opened up my email to find that we are getting another covid releif check in a couple weeks. That's great because I kind of thought that blows forgot that covid exists, but I guess not, sweet right? Then I take a look at the bonus, part time hourly employees get about a hundred dollers less than my average paycheck, not too shabby, it'll certainly help. Then I see that assisant store managers (of which there's like 3 per store) each get 15x the amount of my bonus. Wtf???? I dont do 15x less work than them, I dont put my life on the line 15x less than them, I dont get 15x less sick days if I do get covid. Not to mention the ASMs are salaried, so they're already…

I work in a factory, pretty much I've doing all the work around and he has let go people putting all the pressure on me, today I told him that I'm taking two weeks off he owns me, and he freak out telling me that we have a lot of work and I shouldn't leave him alone. At the end he accepted the reality that I'm off for two weeks… Imagine his reaction when I come back and give my two week advice that I'm quitting because I won't continue with all the pressure without a salary increment. This gonna be epic

I recently joined a union and I was wondering what are some things I can ask of them to get the most out of my job like benefits and pay rises things like that (I am also based in UK) thank you :)))

You are not anti-work, you are anti-abuse. The shitty employers and the shittier owners of jobs are indeed a bunch of scumbags using you to generate wealth to them. You are not someone that doesn't want to work, you are someone that doesn't want to be abused. And you need to make that clear every moment you have, wither it be at work, with your friends, fam, whoever else. Say you leave your shit-eating job. Whats you next move to fullfill your life and earn a living? It either get a more decent job or creating your own thing. Both ways, the main aim is that you don't wanna live jobless or workless, you just dont want to be abused. And that is what these crap-heads are not getting.
