Antiwork

First time poster. Not sure if this is the right place, but worth a try. ​ I'm at my threshold with the place I work, and need to know my options. A little background: ​ I been working in kitchens over 15 years. I been at my current place of employment [non-profit Private Golf Club in PA] for just under a year and a half. Around December, I was diagnosed with Long Covid and went out on disability for about 6 months. This period of time basically wiped my savings, in addition to multiple bills I still need to pay, leaving me with no option but to return on a 'part-time' basis (I still have yet to be cleared from the Long Covid). My Doctor's Release specifically says MAX 3 days per week, 6 hours MAX per day. Safe to say, I have yet to work one day under 6…

Out running errands and saw someone wearing a UPS tshirt that said “United is Stronger”. I went to give him a fist bump and said “Congrats on the new contract. It’s well deserved.” Guy responded with “I’m not a union mooch.” When I said “Go fuck yourself”, his wife had to hold him back.

Exactly as the title says. My grandmother thinks i should be content with making a less than living wage by cleaning bathrooms (probably also a part time position). I know it would not be worth the less than living wage since my older brother has worked doing such (only worked like two or three days a week) and was coming home sick every other week during such. She thinks that my brother’s experience is just an “excuse” and thinks i should be content with less than liveable for legitimate health risks as a job.

Hi all, I’m a registered nurse working in a hospital that is always short staffed. I work 12 hour shifts and with our patient ratios, it is very rare to take a lunch, pee, or even drink water. Our time & attendance software is UKG dimensions and asks you “have you had a 30 minute uninterrupted lunch break?” when you clock out. I specifically remember not taking a lunch on a certain shift because of how high acuity my patients were. Today, I looked at my time card and noticed that the lunch deduction on that day had been edited out by my manager. She did not talk to me or anything. It was just edited out without my knowledge. And now I’m looking at my timecard and I’m noticing that most of my shifts since February (my start date) have been edited. So basically they have just been editing…

Two things.. i work for Amazon delivery, each company gets a certain amount of routes.. but the company will put extra people on the schedule just in case somebody doesn’t come into work. So for example. Fast transport delivery LLC, will get 30 routes, but will put 33 people on the schedule, so now say 3 people don’t come in.. those extra 3 people that would’ve got sent home.. gets a route.. but if everybody comes into work.. (those with a good score card based on delivery) get their route.. and those with a bad score card gets sent home.. I’ve recently learned, you’re entitled to “show up pay, call in pay” Is this true? I’ve showed up to work ready to work but get sent home.. Second.. when delivering if you’re behind, dispatch will send some body to rescue you and take some packages from you.. i told one…

I don't like the amount I'm being worked. The pay and the perks are great and all but they work you for every single dollar of it all. I'm burnt out. I'm not meant to be there but everyone else thinks I'd be a great fit and that I'm crazy for wanting to leave. This job is not for me. It's somewhat blue collar but I'm a white collar man. I can do the work, do not get me wrong, but I do not enjoy it one bit. There are just too many moving parts to it. Apparently having a job and enjoying it doesn't matter anymore!? I should at least like some tiny portion of my job. I told my boss what I thought. This guy is a great man and he completely understands but it's like nobody else can fathom my decision. No matter how many times I've…

I'm in my mid 30s and have had a variety of jobs in a few different fields. One thing I keep realizing is that I'm not interested in anything, or at least anything I've tried so far. I've been very good and successful at a few, but they're just not interesting and I dislike knowing that I'm making someone else a lot of money. I'm even more uninterested in having someone tell me what to do and how to do it. I've tried a few ways to make money on my own but with no success. My questions to you all: If you work in a “traditional” job, how to you cope with the fact that your work is making someone extremely wealthy? How do you find things you're generally interested in to do and make money with?

I just got my first full-time job almost 3 months ago (ultrasound tech, I’m 23) and while I absolutely love where I work, everyone is lovely and kind and it’s just a good place to be, plus no weekends, no nights, no call shifts, no holidays…all I do during the day is look forward to it being over and look forward to the weekend. Week after week, I just wait anxiously for that evening when I get to leave or the weekend. Is this just the rest of life?
