Antiwork

So, I was browsing Indeed today, as I normally do a couple times a week to see if there's anything interesting or worth applying for. I come across a newly listed ad for Subway- Sandwich Artist, which is where I work currently. The ad includes a wage that is $3 more an hour then what I am making now and I honestly feel insulted. I'm not super 100% happy here at Subway for multiple reasons but I haven't had many call backs when I apply to other places– or if I do get a call back and an interview there's so many red flags that I don't accept the position. So I guess what I'm asking for advice on is how to approach my boss, or the owner, or both, about this ad listing I saw and whether or not its worth it to ask to have my wage increased…

Instinctively closed the “x” on it and now I feel like that was useless, although it was therapeutic. I don't know how much I can handle her passive aggressiveness.

(too long didnt read I work at starbucks the first two paragraphs are about my reasoning for leaving mental health decline, physical decline, and burnout. Last block of text talks about my actual question) So I am a barista hired in late 2021 for starbucks… in this short time ive realized truly how unsustainable this job is… For the partners who rely on this to pay the bills almost all of them have second jobs… My body is absolutely destroyed physically, and I've had jobs where I stand all day even longer than starbucks… Truly this sounds so weird but I think my body is starting to show me the signs of exhaustion and stress. I cant ever seem to get fully back to rested, not feeling sick, and not being sore and its taking a toll. I feel like I can never say no to extra hours because during…

I work in the private sector and had a boss who was always micromanaging me. He kept pushing me to take on more work and I always accepted because I am a hard working person. One day, my boss tried to talk to me about an altercation I had with another employee. I won't go into detail here but basically we got into an argument about politics. My boss told me I was not allowed to talk about stuff like that in the office, let alone attack another employee for their beliefs. I told him to his face that I will say what I want, I work hard every day and have earned the right to express myself. He said he would fire me if I didn't comply. I told him that he doesn't need to fire me, I quit. I got a new job the next week, doubling my…

Last year I graduated with a software engineering degree but it has been hard for me to find a job due to some personal issues. Well I’m back searching for jobs and I’m so sick and tired of all the stupid contractor firms taking advantage of desperate people like me. Recently I have been getting emails and call none stop from JUMP by Cognixia for an entry level position. The want to pay your state minimum wage for training, then $25 and hour for contract work (I think it was for IBM but I’m not 100% sure if I remembered correctly). Then in the emails they told me it would bee $50k salary for a position requiring bachelor’s degree in Computer Science or equivalent. I got too many offers like that last year as well from other firms such as Tata Consultancy. I despise these firms, they take advantage of…

My coworker and I closed the shop 2 hours early to get drunk by the lake and enjoy the sunset. Management is not happy and I can expect a stern talking to at some point. Perhaps I’ll update! Need antiwork strength

Went to a work party last night. I work in corporate real estate. We spent 50k on this party. I got off the train at Kings Cross and there was a couple sleeping on cardboard outside. It crushed me inside and felt so unfair
