Category: Antiwork
Living the dream after making 85k for 2 and a half years working in tech. I don’t plan to go back, but I’m not ignoring recruiters offering big money. However I do want to enjoy myself and leave the traditional work headspace and explore more of my local area with my daughter, developing a healthy routine with my body, and re-evaluating the role and importance of money in my life (as the dollar’s value crumbles and life expenses grow ) Also planning to downsize and move from renting a house with an extra bedroom to a smaller apartment. My unemployment benefits are set to last a little bit of time but I am ambivalent about work. I am grateful to have been a remote worker during the pandemic while also welcoming my first child. But I can’t forget that I fought. Fought HARD. For THREE days PTO for paternal leave.…

My very understanding boss
Sharing some positivity. This guy is a gem and i wish everyone had a boss like him.
This hits the “bingo” of CEO cliches SMH https://www.news.com.au/finance/work/at-work/gen-z-workers-blasted-as-selfish-amid-calls-to-return-to-the-office/news-story/be18fad67a49d7962aed2b455f43c5cf
Seems like the push back to the office is due to tax incentives given to companies. As stated by bloomberg: “While some corporate types are convinced that the best work is done shoulder-to-shoulder in a traditional office, the Redditors are onto something. Cities and states grant billions in tax incentives to US companies every year to open offices in their area. Buried in the fine print of many agreements is the expectation that companies will deliver something in return: full-time jobs, done primarily on-site. New jobs bring new payroll, income and sales taxes — but not if they’re done elsewhere.”

Good Bosses
I was diagnosed with cancer and had (successful) surgery while employed. My bosses gave me unlimited time off and almost an unlimited amount of chili. Been back to work for two months and received a promotion and two raises. Unmatched employers. A job I’ll do forever.

Cost of outside agencies?
So those temp places or in healthcare when they bring in nurses or whatever that are with a separate agency….how much does the company pay the agency hourly? Like…if the person makes $20 through the agency, then the business is paying more than $20 to the agency, but what's the standard?

I take 3-5 days off a month
How often do you? I work as net admin at a call center for business establishments and I find myself calling off from work 3-5 times a month. I just can’t handle all the work (43 hours a week, sometimes more) and I just can’t seem to care enough to get a full paycheck in order to give all those hours. Today included. So how often do you skip work?

Such a terrific tree
I know I’m luckier than many; bc I almost always have 2 days off at some point during the week- just not in a row. It’s really messing w/ my mental health. My social life is in the gutter; and I can’t ever go camping (being w/ friends & being in nature are prob the most important things in my life). After an incredibly long, shitty winter (I live in Minnesota); it’s looking like I’ll be just as isolated and stuck indoors for the spring/ summer. I’ve tried telling them that l’m not available on weekends; I’ve tried asking them to switch my schedule around so I can have two days off in a row even if neither are on the weekend; and they’re just not hearing it. All I can think about; all day every day; is walking out & never speaking to any of these people ever again.
