Antiwork

Several months ago I went back to work after a decade out of the workforce. I was out due to a felony, never convicted, but I’m in Texas, not the most forgiving place even though they claim to be Christian. Anyway, this place gave me a second chance and I have performed well imo, it’s a healthcare setting, however it is a non profit and their surveillance for covid is an absolute joke. On top of this job I also care for my 100 yo mother. Well, you guessed it, I did get infected even though I was doing everything correctly, and I infected my mom. Luckily we have pulled through. But my return date is quickly approaching and I feel I just can’t risk my moms life for $12 an hour. Even though they were nice enough to give me a second chance. So my question is this, I’m…

like rent,,,. health care.. i dont care what we pick 1st.. but we need to pick one thing. go after it and fix it.. and then move on to the next thing. but until we all agree and work together.. we are just a bunch of random complainers

I work in a casual role and the rotas are made based on our availability. I know that where I work it is usually understaffed and they rely in me to cover shifts, I've bern good at covering shifts as I need the money however I'm getting tired of the way that I'm treated. It feels like I'm being taken for granted. On top of that they have got me to train people outside even though i'm realtively new to the job and I didn't get paid more for my time. There is one girl who I trained up and she has somehow gets shifts that she prefers. Let's call her G. We are supposed to have 11hrs in between our shifts but my manager has scheduled me to work a late shift followed by an early start the following day. I've checked the rota and this has not happened…

Hello Reddit experts. I recently got my finger crushed at work, (wicked fracture, surgery to repair my finger, pretty wicked injury), I have been off on WSIB and my finger is still broken with a pin in it and my employer has me back at work doing stupid shit around the shop like “go organize this” or “go clean that”. I normally work as a lineman and this is really pissing me off, I was wondering if I have any say in this situation and if I could just tell them to get bent and pay me at home like they were the previous 3 weeks as I’m not happy with my modified duty? Idk any help is appreciated been rough.

Back in January I left my current employer (company A) for a competitor (company B). The competitor company offered me more money and more vacation time, so when my boss at company A found out, he texted me asking to meet with him to figure out why I left and to see if we could work something out to get me to come back. I went and talked with him, and company A offered me the exact same thing that company B offered me. They moved me into an engineer role and spent money on training and software to get me going. It’s been about 5 months now, and my side business is getting busier and busier to where I’m thinking about doing that full time. Should I feel bad about leaving again? My boss made it clear that when they hired me again that they hope I’m in it…

Like seriously. A grown adult who tells you what you can and can't do. A grown adult disciplining another grown adult for not performing and delivering. A grown adult denying another grown adult time with family. It's just really funny to think about. Idk if anyone else feels this way.

I’ve been at a new company for a year now, and the newbie excitement has worn off. I’m paid well, have a good team, and my boss is kind. Yet I am finding myself grow more bored in my role and dreading Mondays more and more. I feel guilty for feeling this way when I should be grateful, but doing the little tippy tappy on the keyboard while society seems to be imploding around us just seems so meaningless. Im not sure if I’ll ever find joy or purpose in a job. Am I alone in this feeling? Has anyone found a way to deal? Is it time for me to begin searching for something new? Sigh, I feel a bit lost.
