Antiwork

The drive-thru was full and one car was backing out before anyone got behind them because the wait was so long. I was behind a truck where the guy was yelling “no” after every item because he was apparently trying to customize everything, I went inside instead. The saddest thing about going in the store these days is how the customers are always surprised and angry by the wait time for everything. That's the state of many McDonald's these days. When I was ordering at the counter, some boomer interrupted because he was waiting too long and then argued when she told him she was trying to take orders right now. As I was waiting, I got to hear grumbling about how long orders were taking and being asked how long ago I ordered. I went and sat down. Boomer guy got his order and sat down with his wife.…

This lady I work with is in her 70s. She works two full time jobs to support herself since her husband died. She and I have the same job and even though she has been here for over two decades and worked through the pandemic with a promise of higher pay she still doesn’t make much more than me from what she says. We have the same job but they leave her responsible for duties of higher positions consistently, like if a manager calls out then she’s manager for the day I’d love to help but idk if there’s much that can be done from my end. She doesn’t want to leave even though she hates it because she’s been here so long

literally they where like we’ll keep in touch! and never messaged or called me again? tf? i also did a working interview for these people. y’all owe me money

A year after being $1.37 billion, analysts expect revenue to fall 1% year-over-year to $1.35 billion for the quarter. For the year, revenue is expected to come in at $5.93 billion. A year-over-year drop in revenue in the fourth quarter broke a three-quarter streak of revenue increases. The company has been profitable for the last eight quarters, and for the last four, profit has risen year-over-year by an average of 16%. The biggest boost for the company came in the third quarter, when profit jumped by 32%. ​ Notice anything off about the piece? The prose…

I have struggled with the concept of working for as long as I can remember. I also have crippling anxiety and OCD and upon reading other people's experiences here, wouldn't be surprised if I also have ADHD. Don't get me wrong, I don't mind working and dare I say sometimes, having a task to distract me is a good thing. But I don't get this whole 40 hours a week thing. So much of my time I'm wandering around the office, asking what I can help with. Stretching out tasks for longer than necessary to take up time. I learned they successfully worked from home for a year and a half before I came (I've been there two months) and were hybrid from Novemeber to March. I don't see why this couldn't be the case permanently. I live super close, which I know is an advantage many don't have. I…
