Antiwork

For me it was working for a big box store and demanded that all employees wear the store’s apparel while on shift. Even had managers check the tags of the clothes and if they weren’t from the store they threatened to write you up!

Schedule comes up once per week, for the next two weeks. The schedule changes for people all the time without them being told. Their policy is that it can change at least 48 hours in advance, as long as they tell you. It’s already a short amount of time, worst part is when it’s changed without saying anything to you, breaking their own policy. I’ve shown them a screenshot before when I came in at the “wrong” time, here’s what infuriated me, I was asked when the screenshot was taken. WTF? It shouldn’t matter when it was taken, no one told me it changed. THEY WANT US TO CHECK OUR SCHEDULES DAILY People have lives outside of work, kids, family, appointments etc. How can the schedule change with such short notice? What’s the point of posting it in advance then? Schedule comes up and say you make plans for Friday,…

they seemed so nice in the interview. It was blatant lies. “we don’t split tips” I have to give my tips to 8 people. “the servers make $300+” yeah, before splitting. after, on their busiest days they make less than $200. one coworker got $700 in tips and walked with less than $300. they also mandatory 15% gratuity on all tickets so they’re lying to customers about where their money goes too. the owner walks out with a bag of cash that he doesn’t take to the bank. he’s evading taxes too. They hired me because i’m pretty and they thought I was naïve. they’re just creepy, old men who talk about their sex lives to the women employees. they sexually harass the women and treat them like less than. god forbid they find out you’re gay, they’ll relentlessly ask why you like pu**y. the kitchen will hock loogies and…

Mom: they want a 40% raise?? That's NUTS Me: they're making 14 dollars an hour. They want to go to 19.60 Mom: Thats too much! Me: Thats 30k per year to 42 k per year. To live in detroit. Mom…. They need a bigger raise.

Throwaway account here; just need to vent. I work in a branch for a huge company as one of two office managers/admins. I caught the flu 3 times back to back earlier this year, causing my chronic health issues that were in remission to flare, so I've been out of work a lot and used all my sick time. My other admin is also out often with chronic migraines. None the less, we typically outperform all the other branches in our region when it comes to filling our quotas and our branch is doing better as a result. Our boss has been understanding and doesn't intend to punish us for it but he frequently has talks with us about our attendance. I get it. Shit rolls downhill. I've asked multiple times to be able to wfh on days where I can't make it in because the two hours of commuting…

I recently attended an event about the best businesses to work for in that city. The speaker made a comment how nowadays certain employees will switch jobs over a dollar more, making the point that these type of employees are not loyal. He was an old politician like speaker, you get the point. Im here to say yes, indeed we are not loyal just like how your company is not and was never loyal. In todays market and competition, companies chase a dollar even if it meant laying off thousands of employees per quarter. You know how to play the game, how to play the government, how to play the taxes, how to play the law and lawsuits, how to maneuver and adapt in this economy. We are simply players out on the field at the right time, right place, and at any point we’re taken out or replaced as…

What the actual f@&#!!! My concerns to the team lead and manager about safety were ignored, covered up, lied about, or otherwise explained away. After that was said and done, I was told to suck it up or quit. Now the manager gets a hair up his ass about a different safety concern I couldn't care to mention if it was going to be squashed like the rest and suspends the team. Luckily I've been looking at new career opportunities already but I currently don't have a vehicle or income while stuck in a hotel 1500 miles from my wife and 1800 miles from my parents. People need to decide what matters and have the policy align with it because only caring about one and ignoring the other is the kind of BS I can't stand.

I work in manufacturing, just started at a new place, and I'm curious what people's opinions or even suggestions for this situation are. In the I terrier I asked my now boss if there was overtime and he responded just optional Saturdays. The day I started they told me it's 5 ten hour days. Now they had a meeting to tell us that in a few weeks we're going to be changing to 65 hours weeks, 5 elevens and ten hours on saturday. Half the people here are desperate for the mo ey so they're just resigned to it MD the other half are talking about quitting or just not showing up on Saturdays until they get fired. Has anybody else been in this situation, if so how did things turn out after the change?
