Antiwork

On the long weekend I had what was quite possibly some of the worst work days of my life. For context, I'm in the service industry and the restaurant is a ritzy high traffic one on one of the busiest streets in a major city. We had two resos of 100+ people that continued to get larger as they were events open to the public as long as they bought tickets. Both were booked as pool parties and though we typically have security to inforce the no drinking in the pools rule along with many other common transgressions, management seemed to only care about the money they were making and not the major safety hazards that began to accumulate. In addition, a new manager has been sending staff home for drinking and eating on 8+ hour shifts leaving us incredibly short staffed, this included security. To top it off there…

2 different jobs. Never stole money or time. I learned that if you're a good employee people look down on you. NOT consciously. But subconsciously. Something in their dna must be signaling hard and honest workers are slaves. Like being fast at work is tantamount to being more scared or something. I work fast because I want stimulation rather than boredom and monotony. It's not because I want to “help” per se. Just that's my personality. Lazy workers aren't minded because the manager doesn't want to have bad blood and someone who is stubborn usually is someone who is more likely to be confrontational. Basically I'm going to be much more lazy moving forward. I'll day dream or something.
