Antiwork

as the title states… i quit my last job summer 2020. a place that i think i want to work at really badly(imo good starting pay, reasonable distance, shift hours & benefits) is asking for 2 past manager/supervisor references. i quit that job without notice. i was on good terms with the supervisors i did have assigned to me. maybe i will try to see if i can get their information. but this is all such bullshit. why do i need 2 references to another warehouse job that according to reviews online has a high turnover rate? im fucking breathing and willing to show up on time and every day. i dont keep in contact with coworkers let alone past coworkers. i have no irl friends with local area codes to ask to help. as someone who has been a 'neet' for 70% of their adult life, including the time…

My cousin just got hired at a fast food chain and was literally told this after working there a couple weeks and complaining the break is either too short or it gets trampled on by the manager. “If you want a break you can take up smoking” Absolutely disgusting

I am 60+ years old and looking for a job. Twice now, I have received emails after 9:00 at night suggesting an interview or zoom meeting the next morning.

So I’ll try to keep this short and quick, but I have been wanting to share this for a while. I’m a college student and two years back I started working and started getting work experience and oh boy, horrible management from day one at minimum wage jobs. I have 3 examples- -A texmex restaurant: The owner and his dad ran the place like dictators, paid $9 and all so he can yell at our faces and record our every moves. He made me cry (I’m an anxious person and this was my first job) in front of an Uber eats driver, called me stupid, and yet had the audacity to be shocked when I quit after a month. His daddy also intimidated a coworker with how he watches her every move including when she goes to the bathroom or looks at her phone or picks or nose because of…

So I work for a company that has warehouses all over. I’ve done some traveling for the company when the other warehouses are in dire need of help. One warehouse in particular has a ton of competition in their area so they have a turnover rate of 200% and I’ve known they made a dollar/an hour more than my home warehouse. I’ve done a like 6 or 7 trips to this particular warehouse already. On this last trip I made they got a another pay raise because competition was insane but were specifically told not to tell us while we were up there helping them get their shit together. My coworker and I found about their pay raise within an hour of the first day being there. It caused a bit a friction and as a result we made comments the whole week we were there. We continue to do…
