Antiwork

I having been talking with a friend lately who knows someone with 25 years of experience in IT and has a PHD in cyber security, they have recently been in the job market and have just gotten tired of the hiring and interview process they recently went through multiple rounds of interviews and multiple weeks of recruiter calls and email only to be offered … wait for it … 15$ an hour for a cyber security job. The guy just told them how insulting that pay was and ask them how they expected him to pay his 100k plus student loans on that – this experience is really why people dont want to work any more and why they dont like applying for jobs anymore. PS: This isn't the first time this has happened to him

I work for a popular pizza company. It literally makes me sick how bad we get paid. 7.50 plus .33 a mile plus shitty tips. That .33 is supposed to pay for gas and car maintenance. My check every two weeks is not even $400. I do get tips, more then half the customers don’t tip. I am struggling my ass off to pay bills. I literally get on indeed everyday and put in applications. No one calls me back. I do follow up with the applications. I fully believe no one calls me back because what’s on my resume. Some shit happened and I needed to take some time away from trucking. I will be back in a truck in about 3-4 months but for now I’m stuck at Dominos. Please tip your drivers. If you are unable to tip please come pick up your own pizza. That’s delivery…

I have been in my work place for over a year now. I started as a graduate in a technical role. I am on €32,000 since I started right out of college which is good for the level I’m at but the cost of living is high in my country. (One of the highest in Europe) after my year I had my review and they offered 8% which is good on paper but means 2,500 basically added on and with tax and inflation it’s absolutely nothing at all. I didn’t accept it as my review was not with my boss that I work with and I told him and he said I’m worth far more money than that. I told HR and his boss that I wanted to sit down again. They said yes but a month goes by and nothing. Then all of a sudden I get brought into…

This is how low major corporations are and try to hide it from everyone. I worked for one of the top three auto parts companies in the US. I remember looking at one of my payslips one day and saw that there was a $1 life insurance deduction. I asked my manager about it and he said he didn't know what it was, the GM didn't know, HR wouldn't get back to me. I ended up getting a copy of my contact and buried in there was the answer… They, the company, take out life insurance on you. Your family does not get any of it if you die, they get all of it because “That's for training a replacement for your position if you die”.

I was once one of their best workers, reliable and respected. I even got to train new people and took great pride in training them on how to do everything the right way and not beating around the bush. But after a while things started to change, and I lost most of my hours and literally all of the reputation I had. Now don’t get me twisted, this isn’t some Fortune 500, This is a chain gas station/ convenience store that is popular on the East coats of the US and it rhymes with Mumberland arms. It isn’t a serious job but somehow I got brainwashed into thinking it is . I almost go fired last week by my regional manager over something I’m not entirely clear about. The only reason I still have a Job is Because my boss “stuck up for me and said I’m a good worker…

Dose anyone else find it weird that there was really a whole generation that just didn't talk about there pay or really care to fight for there pay kinda just bent over and let company's pave there sweat shop trails they've made there company's today making wages that can't support anyone casual what happened
