Antiwork

Many years ago I worked for one of the big supermarket chains in the UK and it was just simply a horrible company to work for. They had a set of values that all the lower end workers had to adhere to like it was the 10 commandments or something but it was perfectly fine for management to violate them whenever they felt like it. The deputy store manager was just a disgusting human being. Our store was brand new and had employed over 450 people. But the company was all about “more with less” so always looked for ways to get rid of staff members – just as a side, once we employed 30 new starters. Within a month all but 5 had left from being bullied out. And that was this jerk's tactic. Bullying. He made it his mission to bully as many staff member as possible into…

This is a factory job. When I first started the job, this was my first ever job and I wasn't used to spending 8 hours straight doing the same mindless tasks repeatedly. It's been almost a year, and back then, I got away with a lot of cell phone use, even knowing we were technically only supposed to use them to stream music in one earbud while we work. But everyone else got away with a lot, too. I tried not to have it interfere with my productivity, for example when I'm on the production floor ahead on my work and it gets bottlenecked. Or I would take a glance at a video when I was doing a menial, safe task. They have started to crack down on it and I've steeply lessened my use, but here is what I don't understand. I have been working alone or with maybe…

I have a metrics driven job, as most people do, and lets just say I always hit my target. I hit my target every day. Exactly. As though I take my time and space out my work to exactly do what is asked of me and not one task more. My coworkers know, and my boss knows, and her boss knows. Everyone knows. I have been pulled into 3 bullshit meetings so far this year (they like to call them “temperature checks”) and they ask a lot of probing questions about if I feel “supported” and if there is anything I need, etc. I know they just want me to tell them I hate my job, my pay, I know they're looking for any hint at all that I'm doing this on purpose. I just blink and smile, and say I'm perfectly content in my role and my support. If…

On a scale from 1-10 she was 6 to 7. She yelled at me how my job wasn’t hard and to just do what she was asking. I didn’t have the clearance or permission for it so I had to call a manager. Two managers had to assist her and all of a sudden she was nice to them?? I went on my break after and one of my managers told me she said I was being a bitch by not helping her. I admit I was giving attitude back but only after she yelled at me. She was def causing a scene because people started recording.

Worked at the corporate office of Fuelman. There were 5 women and 4 men who worked in that office. My immediate supervisor was a woman near my age. She called me a little sh*t then she made a racist remark about my (then) husband. One day all the men were away, my supervisor told me to go with her into the conference room. All the women were seated around the table. My supervisor announced that nobody liked me and invited each woman to tell me what was wrong with me. Only one lady passed saying she couldn't say anything. I kept telling myself “I will not cry in front of them”, but I did. That job did not last long after that.
