Category: Antiwork
The company I work for as it stands are still going to send its delivery drivers into the areas where there is a red weather warning, haven't spoken to any staff who would need to travel to work from that area and it just feels like they are brushing it under the carpet a little. For anyone that doesn't know what a Red weather warning is . The red warning area indicates a significant danger to life as extremely strong winds provide the potential for damage to structures and flying debris. Although the most exposed coastal areas in the south and west could see gusts in excess of 90mph, winds will remain notably strong further inland, with gusts of between 70-80mph for most within the amber warning area.” More details here: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/weather/warnings-and-advice/uk-warnings#?date=2022-02-17 Many schools are already closing and we've had sensible customers phone in to cancel orders due to the…

like job but hate “training”
I have a job as a database administrator that I like most days. I wish I didn't have to work, but at least it's interesting and challenging most days. Most days, i don't have to deal with people, which is great because I'm a raving introvert and I value my privacy. We are a small nonprofit that does training and workforce development. Our clients and staff are diverse. We have a new HR director that has been requiring two DEI staff trainings a month going forward. I hate them. The focus has been on letting staff talk about their feelings about how toxic the workplace is, even though some acknowledge that they haven't felt mistreated here. We will have a four hour, in person meeting next week to do this again. I don't understand what the goal is supposed to be. Will we all feel better when it's over? I…

Let’s skip to the good part…
Hypothetically, if capitalism is successfully dismantled and a new labor-valuing system is put in place, how would it work? What methodology would be used to determine value? What methodology would be used to apportion scarce resources?
I don’t have a ton of variety when it comes to work experience so I apologize if I’m being ignorant. My boyfriend just got a job at Pizza Hut about a week ago. We live in Canada by the way. When he went in for the interview his manager told him that he would receive a call that night or the next day if he got the job. The next day he got the call and he had to go in to sign some paperwork within the week, there was no specific date his manager just told him to drop in whenever. These two things are slightly weird to me because the last 3 times I’ve had a job they told me I’d receive a call the next week if I got the job or not. When I did get the job they gave me a specific time I would…

Tar factory near workplace
Do you guys think it makes sense, to have a lingerie company directly next to a tar factory, just to have a much cheaper location to rent for your company? 🤔
9 months in, the company lays off 40 employees including me. I have a 1 year vesting cliff. I was a high performer, the team liked me, some higher-ups like me. They even written nice LinkedIn recommendations. In the termination papers, it's just bye. I hate this, makes me wanna antiwork. Do I have any recourse? I haven't signed the termination papers.
Do you feel like constantly calling someone pet names (or nicknames usually reserved for people you know and love) in the workplace is something that can create a hostile environment. Specifically names that are gender specific. At what point would you engage with an attorney?
Title says pretty much all. I had the day off, was contacted to come in to cover a shift, and was argued with and coerced for literally a half hour. During that call I was told: • I never cover others shifts (I do) • Responded to me saying she was being unprofessional by playing into whataboutism and pretending she was “sticking up for other employees” to make me look like a dick • I “demand” others cover my call ins and complain about them. I dont. Ive said multiple times before to coworkers they have the right to say no to anyones requests to cover them, mine included. She provided no examples of me complaining about people specifically when asked despite saying there was camera recording • Said I shit talk her at work (Again, no examples despite recordings apparently existing, just using complains I made about the JOB…
