Category: Antiwork

Hey there antiworkers. Today I put in my unofficial notice that I'm leaving my gig as a retail assistant manager at one of the Big 3 grocers in Canada. (Hint, it has the word “OBEY” in the name!) Anyway, goodbye forever, you horrible green bastard. They like to throw around the slogan “we all deserve compliments”. NO, no, you do not deserve compliments and you will not be getting any in this post. I was pretty unhappy for a while but kind of running on autopilot and honestly found myself too tired/busy to even really recognize how burnt out I was. A series of events in the last couple months led to me finally just snapping and rage applying anywhere I could. A few weeks into my search I landed a job as a sales rep for a smaller local business that handles supply for restauraunts/foodservices. I start in two…

I currently work for a large company doing work of a legal nature. My coworkers are unreliable and cannot perform their work within the (very generous) 72-hour window given by management. Management doesn’t seem to enforce this and frankly has a very nepotistic relationship with one of their subordinates who lives near them. Our entire team works from home. I have an opportunity to get a better job with different management, but it isn’t work from home 100% (work from home Monday and Friday). All other things being equal, which is better: competent management/coworkers or work from home?

I’ve never had a background check that I’m aware of. What goes into this? How exact do I have to be on dates of employment? I put a job on my resume that I was paid cash for. Is this going to be an issue?
