Antiwork

Just found out I'm being moved to a new team in my department again after just two weeks on my current team. I asked if I could stay and was fed a bunch of reasons why this new role would break great. I asked again and they said it was already decided. My strengths are suited to my current role and definitely not this new one. Feeling sick now since we have pay tiers and if I suck at this new role, then my hourly rate would drop, and money is already tight. Fuck.

My family member just started working at a regional chain coffee shop, and she isn’t being given any breaks during an 8 hour shift. I googled it thinking it must be illegal, but it’s not. This job pays $10 an hour. It’s not like it’s an essential service. I didn’t think I could be surprised about anything in Indiana after all this time, but here we are. I don’t understand how employers and the government get away with exploiting people like this.

Tldr at bottom I feel bad even thinking about quitting because a friend helped me get the job, and the guys I work with are great. But I'm mad because after starting I've already had my employer go against his word and I'm sick of putting up with bosses that say one thing and do another. When I started this job I made sure to ask my current employer about some concerns of mine because of some shitty experiences I had with my former boss and because I had heard mixed things about my current boss. One thing I had asked him before I started was if I was ever going to be called into work without a notice. My boss told me “you'll never be called in on short notice, you'll have a heads up when you have to work”. Well guess what? I was asked to come in…

So, I worked at the payroll department in a company with offices all over the world. I handle most of Europe. We got a new boss in february, It was an improvement, up until a few couple of weeks. He always makes us work extra time so we finish thing for other departments (they don't do the same for us) and he tells us not to go to other departments for information we might need. If we need information, try google it or figure it out. It's worth mentioning, other departments do come to us for information (information like banking deadlines for wire tranfers, or how do we check branch expenses…) Things like this have been increasing the last couple of weeks. Today somethign else happened. Three months ago he decided to create a new process that will leave one departments out of the loop in some invoices we check…

I know this happens, and i don’t think it’s far fetched of me to assume the only reason I’ve been getting spam calls again is because of the applications I filled out online. I have a TextNow number based in Florida. I get it, I’m down bad. Regardless, I never received spam calls cause I’ve only had this number for like a month. I moved to a new state, and suddenly I’m getting spam calls from the local zip?? I’m sorry? The only people who know this number are the jobs I’ve applied to. What the fuck is that?
