Category: Antiwork

I know some countries and even US companies are doing it or considering it, but as a young worker, i would love to have an extra day off a week, even if it meant longer workdays. I do state work at the moment, so i guess i would probably see it first if its enacted through state or federal government, but i cant see how something thats so beneficial for most companies productivity and positivity on workers parts isnt active already.

Just like what the title says. I work for a nonprofit that is a trade group for a large network of organizations. We are having our upcoming lobby day this spring, and sent out the “message from our president” to encourage people to come to the event. Only the email title included “virtual” lobby day, when the event is taking place in person. Our president emailed me and the rest of department staff being like, “wtf” I took a look at what happened in Constant Contact – I personally didn't have anything to do with sending it out, however the stupid email draft went through many chains of command (including mine, boss's etc) and it was missed. I'm already an anxious mess because we're about to do some restructuring after a member of department leadership retires, and I'm panicking that this might just be the cherry on top to clean…

What tells you that it’s a good place to work? What’s a blatant warning sign to stay clear?

Today in a work meeting/group trivia type competition activity, the person in management leading the meeting demanded that we use our personal cell phones to email in our answers to them at their work email address using our personal email addresses. Thankfully I had left my phone in my office. They even pressured us those of us without our phones to walk all the way back to our offices to bring back our phones so we could use them, but I stayed put along with everyone else who didn't have theirs, so then we all got chastised for not having our phones on us to participate, even though there had been no directive to bring our phones ahead of time. Which is ironic because at other times during work we're not supposed to use our phones. I found it really unsettling that they wanted us to use our personal devices…

So, I’ve been working for a wholesale distributor of HVAC Equipment & supplies since 2019, making $16 at hire while having to travel an hr out of my way at times since the branch I was hired to be at wasn’t making enough revenue. (I got a raise to $17.50 / hr once a warehouse guy got hired) Meanwhile I had learned to do nearly everything from handling customers, doing night deposits, LTL shipping/ receiving & the like. So the time finally came for an opportunity to become manager since my last boss took a position at a larger branch. I applied for the job back in June / July of last year and had to essentially do my job as the counter guy, the manager and do half of the warehouse guy’s job (since he has an attitude) up until today when I found out that they decided to…

Does anybody have any experience with this format? I applied about two weeks ago and haven’t received an actual call, just an automated email to this thing. What are your thoughts on this format as opposed to a screening call? It took 45 minutes. No personality test yet. Fingers crossed.

I just wonder sometimes how is everything real. How the hell did we get here and what really matters ? Life is a mystery to me. I'm not gonna say I'm not religious or am but really think about it. How are we here and why? How tf did a God or a ( big bang lol ) create everything all of this like how the hell am I typing this message on a device to an app that serves millions of people with one click? I'm not looking for well god made this and did this because of this ( I dont believe there's anyway possible unless you are 100000 years old that you have the answers or know because of a ” book “. Not agreeing with you or disagreeing with you . But really what happens when we die. Do we come back and do it all…

i took a job at a major retail big box store, while there management overlooked all sorts of sexual impropriety involving young girls and female minors. i reported it to corporate and corporate came down busted their asses and then local management turned around and cut my hours to zero so i had to quit and my life has went to shit since. i have now been notified by one of the people i worked with and a person fired in my wake because i taught them how to game the ethics complaint system that the store is being sued and it impacts me. the store and the managers i turned in are being sued because the people i reported continued to ignore the sexual misconduct and a seventeen year old girl was raped by an older coworker in his mid twenties. the coworker also told me to be prepared…

the world is such a fucked up place right now and I can't do anything about it. it's so frustrating how you either waste many MANY hours of your life stupidly memorizing information that you will never use again in your life or you just have to live a mediocre life flipping burgers for minimum wage. everyone can be good at something, it doesn't have to be studying and memorizing useless information. why can't I be a fucking good carpenter (for example) which is useful for society and not get shamed by everyone around me for having not being highly educated and earning barely enough money to do anything. everyone should be able to do whatever the fuuuuck they want if they are a useful part of society, good food, a good place to live, doing whatever activity they want. I honestly, genuinely do not want to be a part…
