Antiwork

Has anyone else been dealing with getting interviews and getting flaked on? I don't consider myself a professional by any means. I have always held high standards for companies I have worked for. I (31m) born in the 90s conditioned by boomer parents in the Midwest, had to show up to an interview 15 minutes early. And time and time again its still proven to be useless. In the age of Skype and Zoom, what the hell is going on with these recruiters or interviewers? I have scheduled 3 interviews with companies and sit in front of my laptop or phone waiting for “host” to start the video interview. Today I waited 30 minutes. Granted 15 of that was waiting early “to show initiative ” so that's on me. But man, most frustrating situations.

I haven't had a job since the beginning of 2021. I needed a lot of time to work out some struggles with my health. Time flew by, now I am not sure what to do with my job history due to the gap year and lack of references. I get severe anxiety when applying for jobs. I'm not looking for anything full-time because my body can't take working a 40-hour workweek. Zero overnights since I did that for about 3 years and felt like I had no rest or social life. ​ Past Job History – Walmart for almost a year – Papa John's for a couple of months – IHOP for almost 4 years, two different establishments, Corporate and then a Franchise – Quest Diagnostics for a year or so – LabCorp as a temp worker for two months ​ I don't have any references. Despite being warm and…

I keep seeing this same car seat manufacturing company in my town hosting multiple job fairs in order to hire production workers. $19 CAD/hr, with consideration for benefits after 12 months… From what I’ve heard, they try to keep people “on contract” to avoid giving them benefits to as long as possible. And they wonder why they need to keep having job fairs. There are other manufacturing plants in the area that offer guaranteed benefits after 3 months. It’s asinine.

A little background;I work at a chain store and part of my job is dispensing groceries to people outside in their vehicles. Although we all signed up for the same job only about 30% of us have to dispense. Today I was not scheduled to dispense at all,but my boss’s boss told them to change it up because I am the faster associate so they completely rearranged the schedule to swap us. I love this job and I don’t mind dispensing,I would do it all day everyday if it were my assigned job;my issue is that clearly I’m NOT who they had in mind to do this job today. They care so much about metrics and their numbers that it doesn’t matter to them about being fair and the best workers have to do the most. We all signed up for the same job but this not being equal at…

Just quick run down on the money making world of dialysis. So a lot of patients starting dialysis have private insurance at first-whether it's a state ran or employee based, even if these people don't go back to work they are guaranteed anywhere from 18-36 months of coverage from their private insurance-IF they can't afford the premiums guess what? A grant program will help cover the costs-this is important to note as this is usually funded with donations from dialysis companies and manufacturers of dialysis related products-a tax write off. So with their coverage extended it's private pay rates all the way baby for a long period of time especially because the average life span of a dialysis patient is 3-5 years-most of the rest of their life is covered by this insurance….after this grace period they automatically go onto medicaid. At one time we had a patient's insurance paying…

Hello antiworkers of the cyberspace! I was hesitant to post about this, because the person apologized and the company's actually taking action to resolve the issue, but the person at fault doesn't seem to understand the implications, even though I've stated them, and I think it's an interesting situation overall. Anyway, hopefully those were enough words to deter any manager from following to read. On Tuesday, my new manager was cleaning the cabinet where we usually leave our belongings during work, and they grabbed my glasses, asked whose they were, which I didn't hear cause I was actually doing my job, and working through a rush. Without a response, they threw them into the trash, which was picked up soon after lmao. I didn't realize what had happened until later when I went looking for them. They seemed to have “forgotten” that they threw them in the trash, and went…

I’m in my last semester of college applying for jobs right now. I had two interviews this week where either nobody showed up or they said they’d send me some information about other positions and then didn’t. I’m really annoyed by all this because I’m already overworked with my classes and this just adds unnecessary stress. Not to mention how they’d probably go off about how unprofessional I am if I pulled something like this.

Just found out why I’m missing hours each pay check and wanted to hear your thoughts. Shift is from 3-11 (8hrs). I clock in at 2:45, the system round it to 3. No big deal, I don’t work till 3 anyways. The problem is we started having work meetings at the start of each shift. This pushes my relief back roughly 15 minutes each night. Apparently the system rounds off those 15 minutes at the end as if I never worked them. Is this legal? Im forced to stay until the meeting is over but the computer rounds as if the meetings never happened. My current solution is to wait around till the system can’t round back so I get payed that time. This is a large company producing beer in a factory setting, I don’t believe our union contract says anything about rounding time but I will check it.…
