Antiwork

I don't see where this misunderstanding comes from. if you want your people to spend more money. then they need money to spend. its hard for a lot of americans who are living pay-check to pay-check to be able to afford more consumer goods when they literally don't have the money to spend. How can companies complain about making less money when they provide poverty wages? now, i'm sure there is more to it but this must be a large part.

I was feeling like crap and went back and forth as to whether I should suck it up and go in, but I was sick and exhausted, so after careful contemplation, I called off. I even looked at the schedule and made sure that they were going to be fine before I pulled the trigger. I’m not used to taking care of myself or calling in. I went to work one time straight after being discharged from the hospital…But the last couple of years have shown me, that this industry will suck you dry if you let it…and it supports and encourages burnout even tho they’ve had every opportunity to change the way it operates. A co-worker of mine called me (I picked up like a dummy) not to check on me, but to chastise me for not coming in. They don’t do shit while I’m there, so she probably…

I used to work at mcdonlds like a year ago. They would overwork me as well as berate me. Store manager used to be condescending every chance she git.

Store manager who's 5ft prob shorter literally told another manager “He's a midget he's probably gonna get run over” and proceeded to laugh (i'm 5'7)Ik its short but wow. After constant berating and being overworked. I started to come in late and would be berated infront of other workers.…

Hi All, I have been poking around here for some time and have never had the time/willingness to create a post of my own. I'm sure this has been addressed to nauseum but I really would like to get some feedback to my specific situation and I have just a few precious moments to do so. I have bee working for my wife's father for going on over eight years now and I simply cannot handle it anymore. My health has been rapidly declining because of the stress at my job and the routine 10-12+ hours shifts that I routinely work. I work for a “seasonal company”, which has always been used against me to justify working 50-60+ hours a week 9-months out of the year. The justification often comes from the fact that three months a year in the winter I work 32-35 hours minimum (often more). This is…
