(Sorry, vague on purpose.) I’ve been at a job for 3 years. As product demand has significantly increased it’s become necessary to work faster and more efficiently. It is very physical work, frequently carrying heavy product up stairs, all day. I’ve had to train 12 people over these 3 years (to cover me on days off mostly) and all, including and the latest, quit the position. A handful are good workers and stayed with the company, but none wanted to continue at my position. Today was berserk busy all day 10+ hours of grinding and it really hit me; I was “compressing” 12-13 hours of work into a frantic 10 hour sprint just to keep up. It’s like 1.3 of a job now, if that makes sense. Am I tripping? I don’t know the company’s bottom line, but things have been booming. There’s a new initiative regarding retention, so I…

I had a meeting to dispute a write up where my union didn't defend me, the write up was for something a previous shift had done a few months prior and the operator didn't get spoken to. I told management I'm tired of being discriminated against and they fired me 3 days later

Curious for the anti work crowd, is there a number of our per day/week you actually enjoy or are otherwise happy working? And how many weeks per year?

By office jobs I mean like jobs were you just do paperwork or computer work and you get paid like 50k-70k a year? Like I’ve been searching indeed but I genuinely feel stumped. Is there any specific job titles anyone here knows of that sound exactly like what I’m looking for?

I have been working from the time I wake up until the time I go to sleep for 6 straight days. Today was Pride and I am sad I didn’t get to participate in something so important to me. Feel like my brain is leaking from my ears because of working so much. Physical and mental labor combined. Jesus I’m exhausted and I’m probably not even doing a good job at this point despite my efforts. It’s exceedingly difficult to find time to eat at any point. I’ve lost so much weight, 45lb and counting. I don’t know what to do but this isn’t sustainable. My boss doesn’t care, it’s somehow my own shortcomings that’s causing me to have to work this much. Which just isn’t true, it’s too much fucking work. I’m gonna break.

First of all, to the mods, you're awesome, we appreciate you and I personally can't even begin to imagine how frustrating this situation must be for you. It's for this reason that I've decided to help you out. Reddit's head honchos have informed you that if you do not moderate the sub in accordance with the wishes of its users you'll be replaced. Well, I feel this sub would be much better if it contained exclusively pictures of John Oliver not working. Now you may be tempted to assume that this has been inspired by r/pics and r/gifs, but I'm not asking for some thinly veiled protest with John Oliver as a tool of dissent. I want…no demand that this follow a very serious and stringent set of criteria. No pictures of the man at work, or indeed doing anything that looks like it might be remotely strenuous. I want…

I recently Took over as manager of a franchise location at the company I love working for, I want to run the location with the utmost fairness and integrity giving every one a chance. I am currently looking to hire a new employee as I had to regrettably fire one of the employees for multiple counts of gross negligence that cost both the location and our customers money despite going through thorough retraining twice. This is the first time hiring and I want to make sure I'm asking truly fair questions that allow for an open dialogue with the applicants.
