Antiwork

Not old enough to get a raise.

This happend a bunch of years ago but I only found out about /antiwork recently. Coming from a store position me and a other people from different stores applied for a office job within the same company. And what do you know, me and 3 others got hired. In the new position I quickly picked up on the skills that were required and it wasnt before long that I was doing double the work even compared to the older staff (computer skills are hard you know) and even started training additional new hires. I welcomed all the extra tasks left and right because the work was so freaking dull and mostly pointless it was soul crushing.

This happend a bunch of years ago but I only found out about /antiwork recently.

Coming from a store position me and a other people from different stores applied for a office job within the same company. And what do you know, me and 3 others got hired.

In the new position I quickly picked up on the skills that were required and it wasnt before long that I was doing double the work even compared to the older staff (computer skills are hard you know) and even started training additional new hires.
I welcomed all the extra tasks left and right because the work was so freaking dull and mostly pointless it was soul crushing.

A couple months in everybody was happy with my work and the only feedback I had gotten was that my posture wasnt proactive and I should sit more upright in my chair (this seriously was official feedback).

And again a couple months later here comes the end of the year where (if any) you can get a pay increase. Now EVERYBODY in my department got a small pay increase (think like 50 bucks per month) everybody except me.
The reason being that I was 22 at the time. Where legally you become an adult here at 23. And based on that they didnt have to give me the same pay increase as they did with the others as they were all older.

So
Fuck
That
Shit

Wish I had the balls to just get up and quit like that but instead I just looked for a new job and gave my contract required one months notice.
They didnt give a shit.

And although this eventually led to even weirder work experiences Im glad I left.
