Antiwork

Actually, not the same job, as I am technically a supervisor. But we are both armed guards. My coworker is friends with the new hire, and got a picture of his conditional offer.

When I joined there was no system or training in place for the job, I was left on my own, I have worked hard and figured things out over the last two years, anything that exists now in the department has been built partly by me and two other guys, one of whom left a year ago. I started on less money than the new hires now do, and now still make the same money as the new hires, who I’m expected to train. Everyone else who has been here as long as I have has had new raises.
