Hello everyone, I’m Saint. I’ve been a lurker of this sub for a while and never really considered posting anything because my job is not too bad and I have almost nothing I can complain about it — At least until now. I work for a staffing company that provides personnel to a Resort for a plethora of roles, my work consists of finding the best people I can and get them to work. Sounds easy, right? Well, I can’t say it’s exactly difficult, but dealing with people isn’t always a walk through the garden. My bosses make more money the more employees I get for the hotel’s operation, so I’m basically my bosses’ face at the hotel. Anyways, Last year a huge group of my staffing decided to leave all of a sudden. I didn’t really mind losing them because this specific group of about 10 people weren’t the…

Let me know ! I am here for you, you are much more valuable know you are more than a robot and you don't deserve to be exposed to dangerous, unsafe, and unfair work environments. Workers united!

For reference, I live in VA. I put in my two weeks to my company. HR has let me know that despite having 87 hours of PTO in reserve at most the company will only pay me for 40 hours of PTO. Just wanted to see if anyone in r/antiwork has encountered something similar in my position.

Just something I noticed in my life anyway. My first job was back of house staff in a chain restaurant for federal minimum of $7.25/hr, a.k.a “if we could legally pay you less, we would”. Currently (ten years later) I’m managing a coffee shop for $40K yearly plus bonuses. Every job I’ve had since then (with one exception) has been a huge pay increase from the one before and has ALWAYS also been an easier job. Even though I have a lot more responsibility, this is the least stressful job I’ve had, and the only full time one where I’m not expected to work past 40 hours without some kind of extreme reason. The one exception was when I left a manufacturing job to work for FedEx because they were offering $3/hr more than what I was making at the time but after two weeks I couldn’t handle the mental…

Hi all, thanks in advance for any advice. I walked out of my job last year due to complete burn out. I worked for a private company that had several branches throughout the state. However, my branch was out of state and I literally ran it myself. (I had employees under me) When I say, by myself, I literally was the manager of every department. I mean every department. I put up with it for almost 4 years. Anyway, I’m wondering what “reason for leaving” should I list/give when asked this question? TIA

Throwaway account, I saw some post about managerial mistreatment on here and wanted to see if anyone has suggestions/info. Long story short: I, the only full-time 100% remote person on my team, finally had the opportunity to speak candidly to a fellow team member about our boss's abusive behavior. I had no idea any one was experiencing the same thing I was. Our boss is a fake southern nice person, who regularly belittles us and since she has decided she doesn't like us both has essentially stopped giving us work but little “projects” that are pointless and regularly leave us with no feedback or results from our work. My team member called to ask about a project that he's working on that I essentially completed last week. So I sent him my final project but that led us to talk. Our boss displays clear favoritism, he's confirmed that everyone (including…

I think I will keep away from ideological conversations for my own safety, I have been venting on msn and a few comments have been liked a lot. I thought they might be worth a look and inspire people on how to communicate positions, undermine the system and hijack topics for your own ends. ​ https://preview.redd.it/9y9wii1k02h81.png?width=830&format=png&auto=webp&s=a34b2e9750228af32365b039deb0bbea6194bd85 This one is in response to the comedian Jimmy Carr being criticised for a joke.

Is the US ever going to offer this? It’s crazy to me that no one is having kids. They just can’t afford to. Birth rates are declining. I know they care about workers being around at least, so if the number of people that died from covid is higher than babies born why isn’t anything happening?
