Antiwork

I'm a nurse in Oregon. I am a full-time exempt/salaried employee at a major hospital. A perk of being exempt (or so I thought) is that I am paid for a full day of work regardless if I have to leave a little early to make an appointment. There is even a policy at my work place that exempt employees aren't even allowed to use PTO on partial work days. However, my manager has recently been adjusting my timecard and docking my PTO for days I have left early for my medical appointments (I have had a lot recently). Is this even legal? Has anybody else had to deal with this scenario before?

I recently had a terrible case of the flu. I updated my bosses everyday. They said I was using my sick time. When I came in on the day I told them I would be returning they gave me a final check and said I missed too much work. It's like all of the contact with them never happened.

Makes this is going off the deep end here, but has anyone noticed that every couple days we get a post that seems to serve only to discredit the poster? It'll be something like “I used to be anti-work, but now I make $15 an hour and so I don't believe in it anymore” or maybe something like “how many people are antiwork just because they're lazy? How about on drugs?” Exaggerating a little here but I always see posts that feel to me like some boomer in the CIA intern office making fake posts, “passive prop” so to speak. What do you guys think?

Working in India as a indirect employee for an aerospace giant based in a first world country. After working for five years, I can proudly say that my achievements are a 530$/month salary, 25kg weight gain and acute hypertension. While doing half the work that I do, the people sitting in the parent company earn 12X of what I get, with countless other benefits, I sit here pity over the new mentees that I'm training, alas what their futures will be. Utterly hopeless situation.

Today is the last day I tolerate being underpaid. I have worked at this tech company as an ecommerce associate for a year now When I started, I was forced to settle from my original asking price of $17.50 to $16.50 because of a lack of direct experience (Pretty much just never used excel). I went with it because it's fulltime (m-f) with weekends off (perfect for the budding musician!) And good benefits. 4 months in and the only other person in my department gets moved, leaving me to do all the work from September through the Holidays. I'm talking gathering and pricing material (laptops, towers servers, random medical and lab equipment) photographing and listing it on eBay (in compliance with strict licensing regulations), maintaining inventory and areas around it, and finally shipping. My department alone grosses an average of $12-20k a week, often beating out our main department, out-of-state,…

Live in a country where we have lifted all the isolation rules for covid. Today I have a temperature, feel unwell and testing positive for covid. There is no legal requirement for me to isolate but I have a public facing job in which social distancing is impossible. Deal with all sorts of people including vulnerable and elderly. My boss tried to talk me in to coming into work today as they would be understaffed and said I could just wear a mask. Obviously not going in and they can't make me. Hardly ever take sick days but not going to knowingly expose my clients and colleagues to covid. Got bombarded with texts this morning from manager trying to guilt me.

Inflating gas prices are really stressing me out. I haven’t seen a raise in 8+ months. Gas will easily be $4 a gallon by Monday. It costs me about $7.50 a day to commute to and from work. That’s already 3/4 of an hour’s pay just to physically be in the office. I am a teller for a local credit union so unfortunately my position cannot be done remotely. How much does everyone else spend in fuel/tickets/passes to commute to work?

I took 4 days vacation, and told my boss I was going out of town, which isn’t even their business to begin with, but nonetheless. Two days into my vacation my boss has the audacity to call and text me multiple times asking me to come in, I then plainly told her that I can’t because I’m out of town, to which she plainly responded, “thanks for letting me know! Make sure to have a great time!” My boss never talks like that, and was clearly being a condescending asshole. It’s the small things like this that just piss me off.

im applying to ENTRY LEVEL JOBS. i have the filter on linkedin set to ENTRY. LEVEL. the SH*T that i have seen is BLOWING my mind. a position for a teachers assistant- ASSISTANT- “masters degree required”. WHAT. imagine getting your MASTERS DEGREE JUST TO BE AN ASSISTANT IN THAT FIELD or the countless, “5+ years experience required” THAT IS NOT ENTRY LEVEL. FIRST of all lets assume you had an internship every year in college, which doesn’t happen, that’d still be only FOUR YEARS so how would someone BE ABLE TO EVEN GET 5 OR MORE YEARS OF EXPERIENCE FOR AN ENTRY LEVEL POSITION??? i HATE THISSSS I GIVE UPP
