Antiwork

I say this because many of you have been in some awful work environments and figured out ways or solutions to fix those situations. So here's some info on my situation. I am wanting to know what would be my best option/choice going forward. I work in the pre-hospital field. I won't go into more details beyond that. We had a co-worker become the department manager as of last yr, and gradually, but steadily, the department has become more stressful and toxic due to this manager. I was planning on leaving this job this year. Won't say when in order to possibly tip someone off that might work with me that browses this sub. At this point, I am not even sure if I will make it to my “planned” leave date. My manager has had it out for me ever since I stuck up for a fellow coworker. Basically…

General question, just looking for insight. Is it beneficial for a person serving at a restaurant to unionize? We all split the tips at the end of the night and make server wages in the Midwest. Management is great, but corporate fails to meet the same expectations they require of us who are the face of their company. Open to answer any other questions, I have nothing to lose if I stay or quit, just looking to see if I can make the conditions better for everyone else regardless of my own job security. Thanks!

I’m a 24 year old who makes about 80k a year and I still struggle to be financially strong my apartment went from 1900 to 2400, grocery, fuel, and everyday items prices are skyrocketing. This life fucking sucks. I’ve given up on my hopes and dreams of buying a house. Our government pretends they care but they haven’t done a single fucking thing to help us but instead they fuck us in the ass everyday and laugh at us while most of them haven’t done any kind of labor in their life. Sometimes i think killing myself is a better option because things will never get better everyone will still fall for the lies of our politicians every single election cycle. Trump didn’t give a shit about us and Biden pretended to care for like 2 weeks when he became president. The rich will never be taxed and if they…

I’m 31 years old. I quit my job because I was being treated like dog shit and it wasn’t paying the bills anyway. Such has been the case at the last 3 jobs. Everything from being written up for having to quarantine, to being screamed at for someone else’s mistake, to having payroll add unpaid lunch breaks that I wasn’t taking… I’m done. Im done begging for basic human decency from employers. I’m done devoting 40 hours a week to companies and still stressing because I can barely make rent every month even though it’s split 3 ways. I’m in the process of moving back in with family and I have no intention of continuing to work, other than doordash. Because what is the f-ing point. Am I the only one who’s come to the soul crushing realization that even my smallest dreams in life are completely out of reach?…

We live in what's called a self cannibalizing society. Poor people who refund Amazon and Uber Eats whilst complaining about not having enough money. You won't refund Amazon out of business, but you will refund that delivery person out of a job. I'm actually from poor neighborhoods (I notice a lot of people on here profess to know what the poor need without having actually been poor and speak broadly as if we all think the same) and from what I can attest to, poor people do far more harm to poor people spiritually than any corporation ever could economically. When the corporation does it, it's just business; when poor people do it, I take that shit personally. I therefore do not subscribe to the ideology that the corporations are responsible for the state that we're in. In order for all corporations to treat us all nice, we need to…

Hello, I am a massage therapist for a small company that works with disabilities. I also am freelance, and have a second job working at a spa. I have quite a large group of clients working independently, and thats where most of my money comes from. This small company was started by a woman who cannot hold her **** together. It’s unorganized, and every person she has hired as an assistant to help this company has quit. I have worked here for about a year now, and every month I am told I am going to get paid, and yet I havent seen a single check in my name. I found out recently that my boss is currently in a legal battle with an insurance company from one of the clients, and the payout is supposedly “huge” and my boss told me she will be able to pay me after…

I hate my job. I hate feel like a dog begging for scraps. I can’t live like this. I am seriously considering just going part time and going without. I grew up really poor tho and the anxiety of wondering how much every single thing eats into your budget is so strong. Idk which is worse, the dread and horror I feel having to work full time or the dread and anxiety of not having enough to live on. For those that actually don’t work or only work part time what is it like? Do you regret it? Has your life improved or are you not really any happier? What do you do for health insurance? I feel like if I’m never gonna be able to afford buying a house or paying off my student loans or having kids anyway what is the point of working like this? I’m not…
