Antiwork

Negotiated my pay and bonus structure. Now that I'm managing, the company owner is ready to hire an associate who has less experience than me for a higher base salary and bonuses.

I technically wasn't supposed to get holiday pay, as I'm not past the probation period yet. However, looking at my paystub, I saw I was paid for Labor Day. I believe this was a mistake, as my boss told me explicitly I don't earn holiday pay yet the week before Labor Day. But idk, maybe something changed? What should I do? I don't want to set that money aside for something only to be told later it was a mistake and must be given back.

We had an hour and a half long meeting today which caused me to be unable to finish on time. I had a task left to finish, which required one of my managers to look it over. I've lovingly called it “checking our homework.” The manager was unwilling to let me leave while she checked it, and would also not just check it in the morning. We get written up for not finishing these tasks daily, so I'm sure if I pushed back it'd be “you're not being written up for failing to stay late, you're being written up for failing to finish.” I ended up leaving 10 minutes late and I was very grumbly about it. My manager said something like “I don't mind staying late to get this done” even though she was clearly uncomfortable. I said I did mind. I don't have the exact word for word…

Nobody wants to hire me and I feel like Im gonna be Kicked out of my house if I don't find some way of making money soon. I have applied to so many jobs. so many in person places that Say they are interested and call me back but never start so many no call backs. I don't have a car only a bike and I have to bike back and fourth 5 miles everyday if I do get a job. I'm just so tired of this

As the title says I’ve recently been sacked because I didn’t meet targets apparently. I’ve only been here four months. But we make a loss 6 months a year because of the type of business. We aren’t into profit period yet and I increased earnings in the last 4 months by an average of 20% compared to last year. To hit profit in these known and expected non profit times id have to increase it by 40%. In my meeting today I was told these targets are why I’m being released. But as I break it down, first 6 weeks I was explicitly restricted to shadow shifts so I cannot be responsible for increasing revenue in that period. Weeks 6-10 I increased revenue by 60%, meaning I enabled us to break even for the 6 weeks prior. Weeks 10-14 we steadied at 20% on last year, weeks 14-18 I never…

Off my chest… I (28F) have B.Sc but the jobs aren't paying shit so I'm working at a warehouse for now. Most of the people I work with didn't go to college, have kids to support, etc. I see people struggling everyday, and the work we do is very physically demanding. I made friends with this woman in her early 20's. We'll call her Beth. Beth has several kids and no education past high school. She was raised by 2 abusive POS parents, but she does her best to provide for her kids and to be a good mother. She comes up to me one day visibly concerned, and our conversation goes as follows: Beth: Sally (supervisor) just called me to her office before I could finish my last order. Me: What'd she say??? Beth: She told me to 'be careful who I hang out with because I'm a good…

Title says it all. I'm so exhausted. I'm an assistant manager at a local carwash chain. Every year, we run a fundraiser program for the local children's hospital, which has historically always done very well in raising money for those unfortunate kiddos and the amazing people that help them. My boss sent me a screenshot of a message from our Vice-CEO, literally threatening to remove our bonuses if we don't start promoting this new rewards program for a big name corp business partner. that's nearly 20% of our income at stake!! for me, that's my food budget!!! i'll fucking starve if i don't bonus out every week. it doesn't help i'm being paid barely three dollars above minimum wage. i just feel sick. there was no communication, no indication that we were supposed to switch from pushing the donation to the rewards program. straight to threatening our income and livelihoods.…

I started training a few weeks ago as a cab dispatch operator at a locally owned company. The training was super confusing and done half arsed, they use and outdated database system, you have to answer calls and dispatch to drivers at the same time, when the owner and other employees would be floating around the office chit chatting, which made it super distracting trying to focus on the task at hand. As much as it sucks to get fired…I have to say…I am super relieved that I don't have to go in there anylonger..I was a super stressful job. I would have left anyhow, whenever I recieved a better paying job offer, so perhaps there is a reason for all of this happening. Onwards and Upwards!
