Category: Antiwork

Today during lunch I was talking to my buddy about how I believe unions are good, and more people should trust them. Well long story short before the end of the day I was in HR and fired for discussing union organization and “trying to insight a riot”. Wow I already found a better job, but do I just let it go or?

if it takes me longer to get to work due to traffic ill still expect to be paid for the alotted shift, if you book me from 7-5 you get me from 645, to 715, and i expect to be thanked for that 30 min total of time as a courtesy im providing. ill leave my house at 645 if it takes me an hour to get to work due to traffic i still expect to be paid from 7.

I don't know if this fits into anti work here but sort of fits into the detrimental college/employment relationship most of us are experiencing. I was recently hired for a remote position that requires a background check. Everything cleared except the prospective employer did not hear back from my university (US institution) while trying to verify my degree. I then requested a transcript myself, only to find out that apparently there is a hold on my account from the Bursar's office. When I contacted the Bursar's office they notified me that despite paying my tuition in full, there was a “late payment fee” of $100 from over 12 years ago. As a result, they aren't releasing my transcript. I was unaware I still owed this fee, furthermore employers in the past have contacted this University to verify my degree without issue. At this point in time I am unable to…

Would it not matter if the ratio to how much you make per hour is the same as merchandise? For example if I made 15 an hour and gas was 5 dollars a gallon. In one hour of work I can buy 3 gallons. If during inflation gas rose to 15 dollars a gallon and my wage went up to 45 per hour the ratio stays the same. A post on here reminded me of this. It said back in early 1900s someone made 1000 a year and bought their house for 3000. In the current time you can buy a house for 150k. It's not going to be the greatest but if you made 50k a year that is still the same ratio as back then.

Now that jobs are easier to find and moving from job to job with a short tenure seems common, it is easier to leave a job in flames. Leave the job telling everyone who will listen how terrible your manager was or call out coworkers who made up lies about you. Back when I was younger, years ago, I was treated horribly by some of my supervisors and coworkers but I sucked it up and just put up with it and looked for another job more aggressively. I did not want to create any waves and have the potential to get a bad reference or have an employment termination on my record. So I let my bosses and coworkers bully me. I always dreamed about submitting a formal grievance against my boss or writing a poison pen email to everyone in the company naming names and telling everyone how terrible…

In the case of a self-organizing system, the joint activity of components (e.g. people) ‘generates a field’ that guides their behavior in a distributed manner not mediated by centralized processing. In the case of a self-governing system, information distributed throughout the components is being collected, processed, and stored in a context-independent format, allowing the system to be more flexible in its choice of means. The extra layer of collecting, processing, and storing information distinguishes a self-governing system from a self-organizing (Ismael 2011). Put simply, a self-governing system acts like an aware and informed actor reacting to external signals according to its experience, goals, beliefs, etc. In contrast, a self-organizing system reacts on occurring stimuli in a predetermined and predictable way. Denters (2012) claims that a community initiative is a mode of public governance based on principles of self-governance. Based on his definition, we define community self-governance as a collective activity…

So my employer said I've impressed upper management so much that they promoted me. I will have 6 people working under me and will be responsible for the support of 23 locations while also doing my previous job. The big pay increase…10% of which I might see $150/m of. Gee thanks, double the work for 10% more, what a deal. That's 10% for the year that counts as my raise as well.
