Antiwork

First things first. I'm under 18 and consider myself privileged for my parents to be financially stable. I by no means need a job but with college being fucking expensive even with scholarships I got a job anyway. I'm too young to be “anti work”as I do not need to work in order to live so I don't really know if this fits Now for the story: I got a job at my local waterpark last year and lucked out to work with great people. Today was opening day for said waterpark. Got there today, my lead assigned me to a slide. Everything was going smooth until I was on top of the second tallest slide tower in the park with 4 of my coworkers and we hear thunder off in the distance. We are quickly loading people into tubes while we wait to hear the whistle signaling that we…

I worked for the PX on military installations for 3 years in two different states. I encountered great management at one installation and frankly, wish we had never left there. The second one was great – for three months, until the assistant store manager moved out and the temporary replacement had something to prove – at my expense, specifically. No idea why I was her target, maybe because I made more than her favorites due to my position and company history, or maybe because I was one of three without previous knowledge of her. I don’t care. I reported it, and wasted two months of my life on dispute resolution that only resulted in retaliation from all senior management. I realized that I am too old for that crap, I don’t get paid enough to manage my managers, and I am so overqualified that I can’t really use this on…

Lately I’ve seen many posts of major employers that don’t pay anywhere close to a living wage. They provide no benefits or incentives and generally are a bunch of business jerks. I’m wondering if anyone here is savvy enough to put together a list of worthwhile corporations that actually help and encourage their employees to succeed. Maybe I’m an optimist. Maybe the glass is full of piss. I am not savvy enough to put this list together but maybe it could help folks.

I mean you can look it up or someone can link details but basically when the bus drivers of Japan went on strike they continued work but without taking fare… It would have to be a unanimous thing among the workplace/ community because otherwise you'd personally get sued lmao. but if groups of underpaid workers start giving each other free goods and services, it would be the best kind of protest because the only people getting their lives impacted are the ones who deserve it. To actually go about and plan this though, it would have to be set date or days… where a bunch of underpaid service workers (think waiters/ fast-food workers, delivery drivers, grocery clerks, anyone who has ever worked in retail, people in the hospitals, nurses, paramedics, and other support staff *cough* people that work with the bills *cough*, etc. get together and mutually refuse payment for…

How are any of these CEOs, COOs, CFOs (or whatever name you make up) worth millions of dollars when they all fail miserably at the lower level jobs they go try to do within their own company?
