Antiwork

Just a bit of a short story that might fit here, use to work as a hotel receptionist at Premiere Inn in the Uk, worked the evening shift quite often which was 3PM – 11PM, I was still at Uni during this so not too long ago. The Night Shift take over guy was constantly late, I can't remember a single time he was on time or a few minutes early, never called it in either. This was a problem because I never got paid for the time he was late, reported it to four different managers and never got dealt with satisfacotrily, mor eoften than not I got told it was my job to phone HIM when he wasn't on time. Not wanting to treat a grown adult like a fucking child I eventually got permission to leave the keys and such with the restaurant manager and to leave…

I have been working most of my life. Harder than I should have, but I always had something I was working toward, beyond the bills. I know life and the world isn’t fair. But are we really here to sleep, work and spend the rest the remaining quarter of our life is ours to live (after life chores etc). I know work to live not live to work. I just would rather do what I consider work, not always others.

I live in Morocco, so the manager keeps doing microManagement each time during the week, if you dont answer him in Slack, he becomes mad and starts saying ” thats not professional” Thursday at 7:30 pm, sending me a message, did you do unit tests? we should deliver the project each monday! Friday at 6:45, “if you want, work only 4 hours this night and compensate it next friday” “sometimes, we have a lot of work, sometimes no” ( in fact, he s lying) always there is a lot of work and work, if you finish a part of the project, you move to another and so on! what should I do? wanna go to Europe as soon as possible for a better salary

I feel really stupid about my situation like I am making this more complicated than i think it is, but with all these asshole managers, maybe i’m not. I know that I can only work 4 days a week and I absolutely need the weekend for personal reasons that also include my health. I had a lax housekeeping job that allowed me to come in on whatever days I felt well (still 4 days a week with weekends off). This job was the first I’d had in 4 years since my chronic illness began. Unfortunately I am moving from the area to be with my partner so I’ll need to get a new job. I don’t know how to conduct myself during an interview to not come across as pushy or entitled while saying i need weekends off and can only work 4 days a week. The worst part is…

Is it normal? I also have nausea every morning and permanent back pain. But I'm mostly concerned about the memory loss. For the record I'm 29F.
