Antiwork

At work today I experienced a conversation with my manager telling me and my co-workers today that we have lost our “food privileges” meaning that we can't order food while on break because one person left trash in the breakroom. I work at a restaurant where food is easily obtainable and half the time we're so busy we don't get a break long enough to get food from an outside source. This “food privilege” ban means when we work doubles which are an average of 12-14hrs in a day, we can't order food either. On top of that my friend's pregnant girlfriend works here also and was also told she could not order food and that just because someone has low blood sugar doesn't mean anything because our well-being isn't their responsibility. Now to lay the icing on the cake recently we haven't been able to keep kitchen staff due…

I have been at my job for 4.5 years and when I’ve requested days off I have NEVER been questioned or given shit about it, and I’ve had 3 different managers! I currently have 80 hours of personal PTO. Our manager just (understandably) quit and now some higher up is covering until we have a new one. I requested 3 vacation days today for JULY. Plenty of time to adjust schedule. Manager tells me she needs to review doctors schedules before she can approve. The schedules never change unless a provider takes off. I have NEVER once been told something needs considered before a day off is approved. Why should I be okay with that suddenly changing now? This bitch immediately sends out an email to the whole office that someone will need to cover my entire shift that day because I’m requesting personal days. She doesn’t even understand how…

I work 45+ hours a week at 17.60 an hour and yet I still can’t afford insulin. This country is a joke.

It actually worked. I quit my job in March after a horrible 3 years working for my manager who consistently spoke down to me, asked if I was making up holidays to take off work (I’m Jewish), and constantly reminded me that I was replaceable. In his words, “we need a next man up mentality” We’ll today, I signed my offer letter for almost double what my base salary was at prior company. My wife recommended that I send my former manager a thank you note. Thoughts? Prior to my resignation, my company offered me a 2% cost of living increase.
