I work in a small office, 3 or 4 people depending on the time of year, and a few days ago one of my coworkers quit. This is the 7th person to quit in the last 20 months. Every single one of them sited my boss as the main reason they were quitting. My boss asked me to honestly tell him why I think so many people quit. I spent 40 minutes telling him all the reasons I could remember being told by those that quit. After all of that his conclusion is that they were all lazy. He actually said that. I think he blocked out everything I said.

Hiring Manager: we want to hire someone who has knowledge about the latest online communication approaches. That way we could work on increasing sales and recruit more employees. (I describe how my experience and knowledge relates to the job) Me: Have you tried online ads, different social media sites, and SEO in the past? Hiring Manager: No, that’s what we were hoping you would be helpful with working on for us. (I start to shudder inwardly.

State laws where I live declare that it’s not illegal to say that someone can’t have a lunch break as an adult, but that if it’s less than 30 minutes it must be paid time. The department I work in has a scheduled meal break every day that we leave for as soon as the last customer leaves, whether it be on the dot or a few minutes after lunch starts. However, everyone is required to be back in the department and ready to work before our lunch break is over. Anyone not present when we roll up the windows gets written up and could eventually be terminated. They’re not paying…

Hi, I'm a new worker at a city and I'm pro labour. I'm writing this post because I've seen a number of situations where city employees just haven't cared enough about their work, causing real harm to people. In one example, the city recieved multiple calls about a dangerous grate sticking out of a dog park, which were all ignored until a dog cut itself on it and was gruesomely injured. I can name 4 other examples similar to this, where worker apathy has led to harm or lack of progress, and I'm seeing a trend. I'm not writing to accuse the anti-work or labour movement of apathy, but I want to know this community's thoughts on how to create a worker culture that cares about their jobs. Note that city workers don't make products but work on solving problems for citizens. To my understanding we pay all workers fairly…
