Antiwork

I obviously have to work for a living, but it seems like everyone I try to work for tries to do something sneaky… I had a job interview today at a nice restaurant. The job posting stated that it was for a server position with a $13-$14/hr salary. I previously worked as a barista/server/host at another nice restaurant. At my interview, the owner was talking about how they really need servers and a barista, especially with the holidays approaching. She liked that I had relevant experience. However… She then said that because it's been a couple years since I worked in a restaurant, I would probably need a refresher. I was fine with that. Well, the “refresher” is that she wants me to work as a host for $10/hr until I can “earn” the server position. I just don't understand how I can earn a position if I'm not being…

I don’t even work for a non-profit and I’m struggling to get by. Theres this idea in the mental health world (at least for people with social work background) that private practice is selling out. I used to have a friend who worked at a non profit who made jokes about how I should pick up the check when we went out because I was making “that private practice money”. Right now I make around $2400/month in a large urban area with a high cost of living. I was making slightly more by overworking myself and having zero time boundaries, but I started burning out and having literal physical pain from the stress, so I had to scale it back. I work for a “progressive” therapy practice that talks big game about social justice issues – all of their employees are struggling to get by. The practice takes a 60%…

While it shouldn’t, it has not ceased to amaze me how much my asshole boss loves to create their own fucking problems / be negligent enough to manifest ‘em then be astonished when I don’t have a solution for them at the drop of a hat. Who the fuck is giving these idiots money to even start these businesses? Just kidding, I know it’s their parents. Sorry, that’s it. I know it’s vague. It’s been a real sewer of a day.

Corporate boring ass jobs that are all the same, fake politics, cringe environments, dumb staff, endless days of mundaneness, society that destroys itself, corrupt governments, everyone out to make money off everyone idk didn’t sign up for this shit cheers

It's a clickbait title vague enough to mean differently to everyone on why they don't want to work anymore. My mom, a manager, thinks it means people are too lazy or tired to work anymore. My sister, a hiring staff, thinks it means people don't want to work with a low wage. My boss, at another company, thinks people lack discipline and commitment. Me, a intern, thinks people don't want to be exploited anymore. (Ex: customers, supervisors, mamagers, corporate, etc.) What do you think it means?

From my understanding….at will employment means you can quit whenever you want, two weeks notice or not. Goes both ways, you can also be let go at any given time, with no reason given. If that’s true, then why do people act like those in a protected class are untouchable? Instead of firing someone because they are pregnant, can’t that person just be let go for no reason given? It’s just sort of funny how someone can quit whenever they want and it’s highly praised here, especially with no notice, but then when someone is let go so many replies say things like “get a lawyer!”

I made a really good friend at work and shared most things with her but got to know it’s not the same from her end. She says in the end we are coworkers and would be different if we had met outside. It is a fair point however just taken aback about sharing things candidly with her so it was always one sided
