Antiwork

Thank God I have never accepted this and refused to go. “Trial” like wtf .. I'm sure a trial is a day or two which is a complete waste of time. I remember this woman wanted me to work in her shop as trial. I was given no information as to whether I'd be paid. Like bye go waste someone elses time. Lol

I know this is anti work. Lots of memes and individuals venting. I do know it’s a place where lots of us commune indirectly and share. It’s also about taking back and standing up for ones self for fairness in time, pay, benefits and balance. Sooo in that spirit I had a question. I’m not going to vent and brag. I currently work from home. Sole bread winner for the family. I have looked into getting an additional job. Most have been: * Requiring in office work * Call center/ phone work. * some form of micromanagement / monitoring. * Inquiring about present occupation often at times requesting confirmation that other job will not interfere. Not interested in * call center work * Having someone over my shoulder * reporting what I do with off-work time I work from home and my current job started out as IT help desk…

I worked briefly for a small cleaning company (about six months) and was told I was an independent contractor. That being said, I was told where to work, at what time and while I had no benefits (which I think is normal if you ARE and independent contractor) it seemed like I was just a regular employee considering I had no choice or say as to what time I worked and what I had to do. Fast forward to the end of the six months, the company seems to have been sold to an actual management company and our paychecks were now being taxed and set like normal employees. But, when I request my 1099 form from the original owner, I was told that it was my responsibility to track all of the finances for tax reasons. I was caught off guard by this since when I worked for UBER…

Worked at a nonprofit in homeless services. My company had divisions in 16 different cities. In my city we managed a low income housing unit in conjunction with the city. One day a client of mine, who lives in our managed apartments, is yelling about living conditions, roaches, bedbugs, mold. And said how it never gets taken care of. Well, I felt personally responsible since he lives where we are suppose to manage. I decide to talk to the CFO. Her and the CPO say there's no money, apartment management is a loss every year, and this year was -$10k in the red. I'm skeptical and ask for the accounting report. She Slacks me a quick hand typed response and calling that the official report. I say I can go to finance department and ask them for it if you're too busy. She then sends the actual report. Turns out…

Started two weeks ago. Details about the organization: Non-profit arts sector (playwrights theatre) with a miniature subscribing patrons list. The org is run by 2.5 people: an artistic producer (AP), operations manager (OM) (the role I'm taking over for a mat leave) and a part time marketing person. They are running a full season this year plus moved their venue. I literally spent the first week and a half of my job packing, moving and unpacking for them. The salary I agreed to is very far below an average OM salary and I'd say I'm getting paid the same as an Administrative Assistant. Apparently for a non-profit, it's average. I took the job because it follows my passion for arts and I want the experience. My last career position was assistant managing a box office for the symphony – this felt like a natural next step even though I don't…

“Will you randomly give me 12.5 percent raise?”

I’m just reminiscing on my first job, I was 17 and was working at a bbq chain restaurant. I was new to taxed labor (I usually did landscaping with my cousin before), I worked there for a 1yr and a half until I lied about a new opportunity just to leave. Within days I was immediately left alone and did whole 4-6 hour shifts alone (I worked after school and on the weekends), not that I couldn’t do it but that he was very “codo”, mexican slang for cheap and greedy. He only had two people max but mostly one each shift, it sucked ass. He really did his best to underpay and overwork. We were able to keep and split money from the tip jars, which was alright, an extra $13 was something I would be excited about as a teenager. Sometimes when he would come on the last…

I've been working with a company that does very seasonal tasks, so I got temporarily laid off once winter hit, but they offered one week of work per month so that I can keep my insurance, which is about all that does for me since one week's paycheck doesn't do shit for my bills, and with the pay cycle resetting each time, creating a 3 week gap between each payment, it's just barely helpful. But this upcoming week, they want me to drive an hour each way to get to some bougie training facility to teach me some shit they could do just as easily at the office, and with no mention of per diem payments. Normally this wouldn't bother me, except they expect me to use my own vehicle to drive there, and with unemployment not coming through, no other job opportunities for months, and two previous months only…
