At least there's a law firm dedicated to suing IBM for age discrimination. It's their full-time job

He can’t be serious
I work in a union manufacturing facility. This week, my line has been running like absolute dog shit. Maintenance has been working on it basically around the clock as we continue to run and scrap material that doesn't meet spec. Today, the line is pretty much back on track and whay does management decide to do? Order us to jack up the speed to make up for lost production. Problem being that these lines notoriously run like shit when you speed them up beyond a certain point so I am still looking product due to being out of spec or other quality related issues. My supervisor comes out fuming, yelling about still losing product, asking why, so on. I try to explain what's happening and he cuts me off threatening me with a write up if I don't start sending product. Luckily, we have this nice little form that effectively…
Hello people of Antiwork, I recently got a job as a support worker, looking after those with learning disorders, and they recently tried to schedule me (on my second week after training no less) a 90 hour week with 4 sleep ins, when we agreed in my interview that I'd only be doing 1 per week. All added up it's 88.5 hours, which is an insane amount of time to be spending away from home, of which they only gonna pay me for 52.5 hours of it, since they don't pay for sleep ins. I live in the UK btw. https://i.imgur.com/xhcgaZy.png https://i.imgur.com/Lzlu5fo.png

You don’t deserve ANYTHING in life
People always say life is a gift and it is but then they also spend the better part of 80+ years lording it over you because you have to pay back what you owe because the world expects its gift 10x/100x/1000x over in return. Meanwhile go screw yourself if you think it'd guarantee food/shelter.

Questions for people living in Japan
A big debate in this sub is housing not being affordable. But in Japan, it seems very common that young people often live alone in their own apartment. Whereas in the US that would be very difficult with just 1 source of income and no roommate. So my questions are: What is minimum wage in Japan? Do jobs offer benefits and 401k like in the US? How often do companies provide raises? What is a normal work week like? 9-5 mon-fri? This is just my guess, but I’m assuming a decent about of money is saved by not owning a car and taking public transportation instead? I had heard that some companies will pay for your daily commute to work 🙂 If you’re not familiar with the price to own a car in the US, you have to pay about $250-300 a month depending on the type of car you…

Small buisiness big responsibility
I've finally done it. After reading this sub and feeling trapped for so long i got out. I have worked at a local business for 8 years i started young and just after the son bought the company and basically started over from scratch. I have been working 6 days a week for 8 years except the last few winters. My first few years they would split my pay between two of their companies so they didn't have to pay overtime, i have no benefits because they “cant afford them” and i didn't have a paid day off until year 7. With the company starting from scratch it was relatively unorganized and didn't have people for all of the roles. Trying to climb my way through the company so i can hope that one day the owner might sell the company to me. (His constant reminder anytime i come to…
