Antiwork

Soo quick question is it anybody else out there feeling like they just make enough to pay the bills and keep the food on the table or is it just me!?!? (Asking for a friend)

My bf has worked for this company for nearly a year. They switched him to a much more important, difficult position recently because he was much more qualified for it even though his coworkers have all been there much longer than him. After about 2 months of being thrown around and given every task under the sun (because his manager quit so he’s been given what some of his duties were as well), he decided to ask for a raise today and they said “if you can justify to the boss why our location is a mess and why you deserve a raise we might give you one”. THEY HAVENT EVEN GIVEN HIM A JOB DESCRIPTION or formally changed his job position. How the fuck is he supposed to keep their entire location up to par and meet their expectations when they haven’t given him any? Companies will really be…

Kind of a weird thought. The best scene is at the end, so it’s a spoiler. I just think it’s strange that 25 years ago this scene was thought of as heroic. “What is our crime? […] We lived off your land, but that can be replaced. We did not kill anyone” “Your crime is that you tried to steal my world. The world that I built with my hands, and my sweat, and my blood.”

My wife works at the company and I’m sure that has a big role in it to avoid paperwork. I was more than qualified and they waste weeks of my time to end the interview process on that note.

Not a fun time when the number of workers gets cut in half, I feel like I just worked a full week and it’s only Tuesday. This is a relatively new job and today is the first time I’ve felt real spite towards my coworkers. Just fucking annoying, I feel dead inside.

I swear to god why did they have to schedule me 12 days in a row? I told them not to schedule me on any Sunday and they schedule me on easter fucking. They then tell me because they are under new management that the new manager didn't know that I couldn't work on Sundays and that they would like to hear an updated version of the days I can't work. I tell them I can't work lunches on Saturdays. Then they schedule me next Saturday lunch.

I don’t have anything lined up but cannot do it any longer. I’ll be giving them notice because the people I work directly with are nice and will be totally fucked, it’s more at an organizational level. Anyone have tips on best use of time how to stay calm without a job/insurance? I could probably find another job immediately but I’d probably hate that as well, so I’d like to take this time to be able to be deliberate about my search.
