Antiwork

I printed my resignation letter in the office printer and instantly gave it to my manager. 🙂 Here's why, year 2021: I used to be the lead software engineer here. I develop mobile apps specifically, which by common sense, I would need an iPhone and a charger. I raised it up to my manager, he said yes, and I took it up to the upper management. I told them why I need it and then asked me what's my work and I simply said “an iOS dev” and they said “What's that? iOS? What?”. I was too shocked to respond so I just said its important and gave them the paper work. So being a developer, remotely working is entirely perfect for us, right? Anyway, It was the peak of covid and the government had announced the forced lockdown, now I'm the only one with a Macbook in the team,…

So an employee refers me to an open role at their workplace. HR never sends me the interview materials they say I’ll need (despite my repeatedly asking), and after the interview, I get rejected from the job (unsurprisingly, since they never sent the materials). I then reach out to another hiring manager on a different team, and he encourages me to apply for a role on his team when one opens. He says he would love to chat once a role opens. Here’s his message: Hi John, thanks for reaching out. As I mentioned at the time, I don't have any roles open at the moment, but will likely have one in the coming weeks. Happy to chat more if you are interested once the opening is posted. Few weeks later, a role opens, and he sends me a link to the job posting. Here’s his message: John, that posting…

I've been having issues at work. I'm very much in the corporate world and it's already been an issue that I don't drink. Nobody knows this because it's none of thier business but I often get judged or asked “why?” When I skip out, I usually reply. “Because I don't want to” It's no secret that I despise this place and very much do my work and leave. Today we had a company lunch, also dumb but I was getting water when my boss whose 60+ comes and rubs my back asking “how are we doing?” I just froze and said “okay, Thanks for lunch” I'm 30 so I'm fully aware that corporate America doesn't see sexual assault and boomers just think doing this was being friendly. I just had to get it all out. I can't do anything because it's my job. Just seeing what you all think. Thanks

You know those little surveys on the bottom of the receipt at most places? Fill them out. Most of the time no one does unless they had a bad experience so then the micromanaging around them goes hard. At my last job they at least noticed this but I probably seen a million power point presentations from corporate on how to say hello to customers. At least at fast food places you get some free food out of it.

Hear me out cause this will make y'all laugh. So the day before my interview, i made a bunch of weed cookies with homemade butter. Never made them before, approximately 2030 i ate one single cookie. Woke up the next day still way way too high, must have been damn near 1000mg i have no clue, dont know how to measure. Anyway i look at my eyes, redder than a nun walking in on an orgy. Go grab some visene and figure im fucked, but i still have to try. Go to the interview, super chill, accidentally doing power poses (leaned back in the chair) making eye contact with everyone, sitting there laughing and mostly shooting the shit. Bullshitted my way through the technical questions, i only ever did installs previous to this, not troubleshooting. Got the job, im pretty ehhh not-great at it. Not awful but not the best.…

Basically, the title. I have autism/ADHD. The person in charge of HR has been a complete headache to several individuals since she got here. I just want to work from home for an appointment I have on that day, despite my job (and the entire jobs of each of my surrounding departments) being capable of completely being done from home. I've no intent on using PTO for that time just to do an appointment and then come back into the office. I'm going over her head to the CEO to explain to him that this is ridiculous, I've done my job from home with zero issues before and that trying to force me to use PTO for it is just shitty.

everyone was much nicer to me during those last two weeks! And to think, had they treated me that way since Day 1, I would have stayed much longer. Lesson learned: Loyalty doesn’t pay, but competition does.

Loosely based on US statistics, the average monthly income is $5,783. Elon Musk earns about $200,000,000 a month. So if money is an expression of worthiness or “how much better you are”, then Elon Musk is about 35,000 times better than the average worker. We love to think that someone earns more because they are smarter, faster or stronger. However, you can't tell me that someone is 35k smarter than the average person. I think it is high time we reevaluate how we distribute income.
