Antiwork

IDGAF any more or about those relationships or burning bridges. I apply to all these tech companies, go through like 7 rounds and get rejected…on a Sunday??? Fuck outta here. I just straight destroyed a recruiter and the team I met with. Who were all assholes and two were extremely late to my interviews. So F y’all

Ive been working for around over a month with growing and worsening phnomona and a unknown kidney infection. I finally went back to the doctor when I couldn't even breathe well enough to go accross a room. My lungs and bronchial tubes are badly inflamed and filled with fluid and mucus and I developed a kidney infection as well while my immune systems been shot. I also throw up any medication so I cant be treated even from home. So as of today I am hospitalized. I was told I could die if I didn't get treatment asap. My work already unhappy about the 3 times I've called out fired me. So now I'm in a shit ton of medical debt, still very ill and not looking at a quick recovery as Im on day 4 and still not doing even slightly what the docs would consider good oh and…

I know the title sounds bad, but hear me out. I had been working as a carer for the longest time after being turfed out of the foster care system and left to fend for myself. Anyone who knows care work knows it's gruelling and you are not treated the nicest. I had been working as a live in carer doing back to back weeks with my stuff in someone's garage I rented out as I could not afford a place and didn't want to be sleeping on the streets, but I was technically homeless. I worked hard enough to save up a deposit for a bedsit and was transitioning from live in care to care homes via an agency, when a job opportunity for a permanent care home position came up with reasonable hours so I could finally have a life, maybe meet someone, make friends etc. The pay…

First time poster, long time lurker. I work for a large security company here in NZ, who would be the worst company I have ever worked for. The whole operation is a large toxic, flaming dumpster fire run by a megalomaniac and a bunch of his mates. We've been lied to, threatened, and people are leaving almost every month. The supervisor is also lying to the company they contract to. Usually I enjoy my job, but I'm not going to put up with the BS any longer. I handed my notice in, only to get a “We're sorry to see you go “. Yeah whatever. Thankfully I'm out of there at the end of the month, and onto better and brighter things!

I’ve been trying to be positive but fuck I can’t. There isn’t anything positive about working in the US. It’s so annoying when family asks oh how’s work? You liking it? I feel like I need to lie bc no I don’t. I’d rather be at home enjoying my fucking life instead of slaving away for a multi-billion dollar company who can’t even get my first paycheck to me on time. If I don’t have that shit in my possession by my next payday rest assured I’ll be making a call to the labor department. I just hate everything about it. I was out of work for 3 months and the only reason I was fucking depressed was bc I couldn’t afford shit on my own so I had to ask my mom for help and it made me feel like a burden. Other than that I throughly enjoyed my…

If increasing the minimum wage means that everything gets more expensive, wouldn't the same logic mean that bringing down executive pay would bring prices down? By the same logic, are low wage earners keeping price points low and stable whereas higher earners are pushing prices higher? If high income earners have their incomes decreased then shouldn't high cost goods or services come down? Wouldn't this be better for these businesses since their potential customer pool would expand?

So I went camping for a few days with a friend's family for the fourth. I didn't realize how bad I needed the time off until I left. Four hour drive home and the whole time I am bawling thinking about going back to my normal routine, especially work. I decided on the ride home that I would put in my two weeks, but because I tend to make rash decisions, I decided I would give it another shift or two and a therapy sesh before I decide. That first shift after coming back SUCKED. My fellow closer and my closing manager were very disrespectful and I was too exhausted to try and let it go. I ended up doing less than the bare minimum and clocking out without asking if I'm good to leave. The next day I told my therapist about that shift and she agreed that was…
