Category: Antiwork

My boss at a sandwich store told me to get over my avocado allergy because it pays for my shifts. She wanted me to eat an avocado sub for our stores social media page. God I love work….

Why is it at every job I’ve seen everybody is just cutting hours? Do they not realize that people need to live and cutting hours makes it hard for them?

This might sound weird for this sub, but I will preface this by saying that I generally like my employer, boss, benefits, etc. We currently have a policy to boost morale/productivity where as long as we (full time positions) work 30 hours a week, we are paid for 40 hours. It’s great as my position (in a call center) normally gets ~37.5 hours or so, so I get bumped up to 40. It’s honestly awesome and one of the things keeping me here. This isn’t extended to part time employees of course. Many of our part timers are college students, which is great obviously. But recently in my office, one of our part timers moved up to full time (and is a college student). They worked it out with my boss and has essentially 2 hour long lunch breaks some days of the week, and only works half days the…

I've been working at this company for about a year, and the position was totally different than what they hired me for. Tried to stick it out, but eventually decided it was best to leave. Gave them my notice today, told them my last day would be the end of the month (2 weeks and 2 days notice). I did this so that I would have a better chance on training the next person, since there's a lot of institutional knowledge in this position. They took my ID, gave me a box and told me to leave. They are giving me no severance and my benefits will be cut off. No good deed goes unpunished.
