Antiwork

We got one free piece of company swag of our choosing! Less than 15% of employees participated in selecting an item and they don't know why. They thought we must have forgotten so the sent a reminder to choose and extended the deadline for submission. We don't wear uniforms and these items are only ever used as free shit for client visits which haven't happened much over the last 2 years cuz COVID and we have a contract for a certain amount per year sooooo…. they're just trying to free up space in the warehouse.

Looks like they like people to be in line ..act exactly how they want to you act. Move when they ask you to. You can't work how you want to work except how they have imagined UT in their lil brain. 1+3=4 But I could use 2+2 and still get 4. But they want you to stick with the former. Have ya'll ever worked in an environment do controlled that you feel sick of it ?!

No one should make more than 10x the lowest wage worker within their own company. Mic drop good night.

I just left my current job of six years. Last January I applied and got a supervisor role which would put me on a team of 3 other sups (large client). Instead without any heads up they shifted that role to have me on-board two completely new clients by myself. This meant establishing processes, creating build documents, essentially becoming the first point of contact for information and escalations, and being at the clients beck and call. Immediately I knew I would need lower and upper management to be assigned to these clients as the workload was becoming unmanageable. Every time I asked, the canned response would be “0h, we are working on it.” Or “It's in the pipeline.” I started my new position in January 2021, and quickly burnt myself out by August. By this time they assigned me a lead tech, but the need to be “on” 100% of…

Objectively I have a good job, reasonable pay but the expectations are high. What I can't deal with is occasionally I have a call that just leaves me feeling empty, broken or often near suicidal. How do other people deal with this?

Does anyone know of mutual aid networks that allow you to get what you need so you can spend less time working at a job you hate?

So, long story short one of my fav. coworkers got in an accident driving the company vehicle. He is fine (just strained an arm) but the police report says it's his fault. HERE is the kicker. The tags are 4 months expired and the brakes are bad. He is back at work and I'm just curious about how it will affect him. The company doesn't seem to care and just wants to make sure they cover their butts but there are whispers that the company has screwed over people in the past and will do it again.

I work a physically demanding job and I woke up with a sore back. Told my boss who proceeded to say “You're 25. You're to young to be having back pain.” This is not the first time this has happened. I'm currently looking for a job in another field since I graduated college. Until I find one, I'm stuck with this because I work with family and would destroy my relationships with them if I were to just quit. It pisses me off that people think just because someone's young, they shouldn't/can't have back pain.
