Antiwork

So I'm writing this as I am commuting to work, as a way to vent and also remind myself of everythint I want to say and every factor that led me to make that decision. I actually love what I do, but the company has taken everyone for granted, and I know that if I quit, there would be some major consequences, as I've been working there for 4 years now and I have a key role, managing the largest team, and having built from scratch a lot of the processes and guidelines to what we do now, and of course, I trained the whole team. I started working there as an intern in April 2018. I graduated and I was hired 6 months later to do the job my supervisor was doing, and he was let go. The team leader was very very problematic, and there were two replacements…

For me it was when I was getting paid £8 an hour, working 40-50 hours per week at a pizza chain restaurant as a trainee chef where I was spoken to like shit everyday by the waiters and the chefs and screamed at by my manager, was absolutely exhausted and my manager decided to give me my probation meeting a month early, and said that a bunch of people there said that it feels like I ‘don’t really care’. She also expected me in the little time I had off to memorise a menu when I was literally working nearly 50 hours per week and was absolutely shattered. They said that if I hadn’t memorised the menu off by heart and knew how to do everything in the kitchen within a month they’d have to ‘reconsider my future there’, basically trying to scare me into trying harder or they’d terminate…

i am sitting in an aflac “interview” with about 16 other people and they are basically telling us all the good stuff about the company and what they do. I want to know if anyone here has worked for Aflac and if it's worth it? I asked about cons and all he replied “if you don't work hard, you don't make money” and that was it basically. sorry if this is not the correct place to ask and forgive the formatting; i am on mobile

Pay range unavailable Salary information is not available at the moment. ​ Whenever I see this on LinkedIn, I click the 'Yes' for “I would like to see salary information for this position”, but I do not even open the Job Description. If they aren't transparent enough to give the salary range, I don't know that I can trust anything else they might try to communicate about the role. Furthermore, I have no interest in knowing what experience, skills or duties they want someone to fulfill, since they have not gotten around to telling me what they are prepared to offer in exchange. Come to think of it, I don't recall seeing a single LinkedIn position that had that information. Perhaps it's time to remove myself from their mailing list, as they are obviously selling someone the idea that they can reach out to me, even though they have yet…

So I work a shitty office job AND have occasionally debilitating panic attacks/general anxiety related issues. Long story short, I ended up requiring a mental health day today but, knowing from experience if I simply told them that it'd mean weeks and weeks of meeting with managers/HR “just to check in” so I ended up contacting the office saying a family emergency had come up and I would give more info tomorrow. Problem is I've got nothing, so whats a plausible bs family emergency I could provide that would require only a single day off but would not invite too many follow up questions? Extra info: I don't have kids, I live with my gf but we're walking distance from both sets of parents- may be relevant idk

My mom works at a retail store. She doesn't speak that much English, but enough to get by. So far, at work, they have been targeting her often. They always call her to tell her not to come to work anymore because they're “cutting hours”. For example, she was supposed to come into work on Thursday. On Wednesday at 10 pm she got a text in a group chat telling her “hey ___ we are cutting hours so please take the day off tomorrow”. They only sent her that. They didn't text anybody else in the group chat, just her. Another weird incident was when my mom was scheduled to go into work on Saturday. Then one of her managers left her a voicemail on Friday to not come into work. This manager is not the same one that hired her. So she didn't show up because they told her…

Not trying to sound butthurt, but there's always so much talk about Millennials, Gen-Z and even Boomers these days with regard to the whole “work” equation. Uh, us X'ers are largely fucked too and I never hear much about it. Thoughts?

Hi, I filed multiple complaints with HR regarding an employee stalking me during working hours, and after work for 6 months! HR informed her of my complaints, investigated and never laid the employee off. Apparently the employee stated I was the troublemaker, and she never had any issues with other employees (that's a lie). Eventually, I had to be the one to leave. Then I sued them (NDA). The start of my employment I had to provide to this employee my driver's license, passport and social security card for I9 purposes. When I left that employer, I did research on her and came across a profile of her sister leading me to an article stating she was jailed for identity theft. The stalker is getting information on my employment due to the information provided to her. The following year, I'm working. I've had 2 employers in the past year! I…
