Antiwork

Wonder how they’re going to afford to staff this new addition if they can’t afford to give us proper raises while working short staffed in a continued pandemic

I'm on Indeed looking for a summer job and it's a Nightmare, I think I have a fairly nice resume, I've been working since high school, joined the reserves after high school, my bachelors is almost finished (only have the practice left), have experience on IT, administrative, human resources, my major is on social work with a minor on education. After every end of semester I look for a job to keep busy and pay bills. Last summer I worked on a hellhole, toxic and awful place for very little pay. This time I said no more. I started looking for a “decent job” with at least $10 – $15 an hour pay and it's almost next to impossible. This is crazy. The only place hiring are retailers and fast foods for the minimum.

Yeah, basically same old story. I was hired by this hotel about a year ago, the girl who worked first shift on weekdays at the time decided to take a three week long vacation. My dad ended up bringing me along because otherwise for three weeks his life would consist of doubles and turn arounds. I came along helped out during their time of need. When she came back I got put on part time, and second shift. My boss after that conveniently forgot I was full time and only worked there to help out. Nonetheless I began to actually enjoy my job, Sunday nights were my favorite, I had the same people every week, I knew them all by name. They hired this other girl for second shift on weekdays, she was nice at first, we talked about everything. What I didn't realize at the time was when she…

Now I know how easy it is if you just memorize their patterns.

Just curious how far people are/are willing to travel for work each day. I applied to a job about 50 minutes away. I will be an apprentice learning a trade so the pay won’t be anything special, but I want to start getting experience and this company is the only place that has reached back out to me.

This is definitely not to insult any career or job. I am of the belief if you are working full time you should be able to afford the necessities in life. No matter the job. But I often hear McDonald's and grocery store workers put down as low skill jobs that high schoolers do so they shouldn't be able to live off of that kind of job. But don't high schoolers also cut grass and stuff like that, but no one seems to have an issue with landscapers making so much money. I understand it is manual labor, but I don't think most people realize how much manual labor there is working in some areas of a grocery store. The same is probably true for fast food and stuff as well. I'm always just curious as to how people justify this argument.

My girlfriend was let go today after working at a animal creamatorium LLC in Illinois for about 8 months. Her manager was off for the day but was watching her on the cameras in the office and complaining to the owner how my girlfriend was helping the new girl and telling her the wrong info. Which means the cameras have audio but no signage posted anywhere stating they record audio. I was pretty sure that was not okay, but I'm here for a double check. My girlfriend was upset she was being recorded and complained to her friend and co worker. Her friend went to the owner and was like “She's a really good worker but the manager has been up her butt about everything, I think girlfriend would do better working in a different office” Then the owner texted my girlfriend saying that she shouldn't be complaining to coworkers…
