Category: Antiwork

So I have a friend that works for a hotel chain. They originally applied to one hotel specifically and after working there awhile they now split my friends hours between 2 hotels. It's 1 property with 3 hotels on it and it's owned by 1 parent company. But if my friend works 25hrs at both hotels they won't get 10 hours of overtime because the checks and payroll are seperate. Is this even legal? It's atleast super scummy. I'm in Michigan if that matters.

Like bro, after work I'm just so tired and cold that just being high and spacing out in my warm room is enough for me lol

I just saw a video from the company I work for and couldn't help but think “this is all fucking bullshit.” I work at the North American headquarters for a multi billion dollar company and can't help but think that a big portion of millennials are anti work because of how fake large companies like mine are on social media. They promote lies about themselves to look better in the public eye. Us millennials have grown up on social media and come to realize that everything put forth on a platform is a fake portrayal of a dismal reality. “we've made x number of eco friendly products” “we've got a fun and happy staff” and so on. I think I might be this jaded about work because I know how fake and off base the reality of the company is compared to how it's presented in the public eye.

Not even sure how to start this one. It is a long story and I want to try and remain semi vague. So I just started a new job 3 months ago that is no different than my last two jobs. A constant barrage of promises that never come to fruition just to try and keep me churning out profits. Before I even took the job I fully expected this so my hopes weren't up at all. No excitement to even start work here. I just needed a job and paycheck. I was already done two jobs ago. So I have been stressing for a few weeks. I am eligible for their health insurance. The problem is I can't fucking afford their insurance. It is $600 per month, my wages suck and it eats up 95% of my pay each month just paying bills. Taking their healthcare would mean ending…

I’m not a waitress, but I went out to eat with my family. This wonderful lady was able to get everything my family needed and more, juggling multiple orders and drinks. I have anxiety, so a job like this would be impossible for me. I just couldn’t help but be in awe of how she managed be friendly and busy at the same time. It’s practically an art form. I’m not sure what she was paid, but I hope it was damn good. I doubt it though, so I’m happy my family left her with a large enough tip to cover her shift for the night, just in case. Tipping culture sucks, but it makes me happy to be able to put $100 in someone’s hands in that moment. And I’m not trying to brag. I just want everyone to take notice of the next waiter or waitress that serves…
