Antiwork

I've worked a lot of jobs, in a lot of industries, and in none of them have I had to find my own coverage. Either there's a small amount of employees that all work the same schedule, or there's so many employees they'll just fill in the gaps of whoevers gone. I see all these posts on here about “finding coverage” and straight up don't understand how that's supposed to work, like are you supposed to have all your co workers contacts and personally ask them to take your shift? And if you're the one being asked are you expected to come in on your off time? Personally I would feel so guilty asking for someone to cover me, and maybe I've just been lucky with my jobs but my schedule is my schedule, I'm not coming in on my day off on short notice .

Ok wow I think I figured it out. So this is what I was trying to post. I've been out of work for almost 2 months after an injury at work that required surgery. I applied for workers comp and hadn't heard anything until a few days ago. It turns out when my job reported my injury they stated I didn't need any compensation or time off work. This is odd since like I said I've been out of work and had to have surgery.

They denied my workers comp claim. After traveling for work for two weeks in a row (unheard of), I was scheduled to work on a day I would usually have off. The blood drive I worked was understaffed, overbooked, and an abnormally high amount of blood donors had reactions (passed out/threw up/incontinence/etc). Doing mobile blood drives is extremely strenuous as there is a lot of heavy/delicate/expensive equipment that we handle and set up. Right after this drive, I begin to lose vision in one of my eyes, and get a headache. Phone triage tells me I'm having a stroke, and to get an ambulance to the hospital ASAP. I get to the hospital and they discover that it is just an ocular migraine, give me an injection, my vision comes back, and they release me. Well, come to find out Sedgewick didn't do anything at all to even begin the…

I work 40+ hours a week, have a company email, am on the company Slack, was just given a new laptop to use at work, have access to lots of confidential company information, but am not an employee. I'm a contractor. So basically I do everything an employee does but for less money and no benefits. I love working here but just can't really stop thinking about that part. There are people here who worked as contractors for yeeears before being made an employee and if I stay here I imagine it'll be the same. Just lame, I mean if someone is a good employee, make them an employee. It's a huge company that can absolutely afford it. Instead what they do is have people like me on “part time” while working full time hours, so that if they don't need me for a while or decide I'm not a…

at the age of 17 i applied and got hired at an american eagle near me. from the beginning it was horrible . i was part time and a minor working a full time schedule. they’d only give me 30 minute breaks when i’d work 8+ hours and lie about it. the worst part was we’d leave for closing at 12 fucking am a lot when most of the workers were minors in SCHOOL. and they legally weren’t allowed to do any of this. they were doing this to all the minors working there. everyone i got hired with soon quit . i finally realized i needed to find a better job when a new associate told me they were getting paid $11 an hour while i was only getting $9. we both did the same amount of work, had the same experience, and were working part time. the only…
