Antiwork

I was terminated from my job on 3/22 (for a BS reason, but I’m not getting into that). My company has outstanding pay that I have not received from hours worked as far back as November. This was during a nationwide outage of a major time clock company, due to hackers, that they are still “reconciling.” Today would have been my final pay day, and I did not receive any of the back pay, PTO, etc. They’re also refusing to approve my 401k withdrawal, so I’m now not able to pay my bills this month because of this. I already called HR and informed them that I did not get this money, and that by state law they are required to pay any final moneys to me on the next payday. I was told that they were escalating this to someone higher than them. But I’m not sure how I…

Lets be honest. There is a small % of people that are benefiting and everyone else is low key slaves under the guise of not being slaves. The people who are doing well toss their hands in the air and say “just get a better job” or “that's life” or some equally useless garbage. Essentially, they are okay with your position, their position and frankly couldn't care less about anyone but themselves. Well if we were to say adopt the same mentality, why dont we just say… I don't know… take all their shit for ourselves. When they get pissed off we can shrug our shoulders and tell them thats life. Has anyone noticed that the older generations are banking on the hope that no one will wise up and burn this shit to the ground? Im not going to lie, Im okay with bringing slavery back. Nothing about race…

Just wanted to throw a rare Positive post out there for my workplace. Was hired in January for a Work From Home Customer service team (Business facing, not public facing) Making $17/hr base with benefits starting the first of the following month. The training was rough, but they were still ironing out the “Work From Home Training” modules…And then we had a big company wide meeting. Because ONE person asked for this, our CEO has decided to add an extra $45 per month onto our paychecks to help pay for our internet bills. That it “Just made sense.” They have been awesome and I really am looking forward to continuing to work with them. (They are also EXTREMELY understanding about personal time off and will pay you for it.)

So I recently applied to a bunch of jobs, and three of them emailed to set up an interview. All three then emailed me either the night before or the morning of to reschedule their interviews. One of them had two rounds of interviewing, and pulled this both times. I was wondering, if anyone else has had this experience this frequently and with this much consistency? I'm starting to think it might be some tactic hire-ers use just to test your patience for bs before they even meet you, but what do y'all think? Just bad luck?

So to set the scene – I work for a pensions company that is burning through staff. It's one of the lowest paying companies in the sector and you can do the same job for much more money in other companies. As a result, loads of people are getting training with this company, seeing their careers stagnate/not get paid enough reflecting their output and then leaving. So that's where I come in. There's a couple of things I do in the job that only 2 others can do in the entire floor of 200+ people. I've also been at the company for 3 years, first job out of university. Because of this and the large amount of people leaving, they clearly panicked I'd be out the door soon as well. Now I'm pretty content. Don't love the job, not something I want to do for the rest of my life,…

I was first questioned by the DM of our entire district about why some particular thing didn’t get done (keep in mind, there’s 76 hours of allocated labor for my department and I’m the only one scheduled over here to get the job done). My response was, “I wanted to fill all of our specials and get the rest of the truck done, so that way our customers can get what they need and it doesn’t sit back here in the cooler” DM: “Does your GM not fill out payroll every Saturday? Why wouldn’t you mop back here?” Me, in front of all of our upper management: “There’s 76 hours of allocated labor for this department, and only 40 of it is being used. That’s going to cause little things like this to happen when I’m expected to do 100% of it by myself, am I wrong?” DM: “That’s something…
