Antiwork

As the title states I just got fired from a big distribution center and it's the first time I've ever been fired and I don't really know what to do. It feels like bullcrap because I still have a lot of bills to pay, I want to go to college but i was relying on this job to help reimburse tuition, and I really needed the insurance for my therapy,medication and my would've been braces. The reason I got fired was because I had a lot of time of task on 3 different occasions. The first one was I was having very severe anxiety attacks when I was on some pretty rough medication that really seemed incompatible with me, the second time I was vomiting a bunch, and lastly there wasn't any work coming in so all I could do was wait but some how it was my fault I'd…

In terms of minimum wage I understand rising minimum wage to keep up with inflation but I’ve seen some post say raise minimum wage to “keep up with productivity”. What does that mean?

i just walked into my shift that started at 11 and my manager came to meet me and told me to go home and come back at 4, she said she doesn’t have time to explain right now but she can’t have me work me shift today and to come back at 4 to talk about it. I asked her “do i still have a job here???” and she said “well that’s up to you but again i don’t have time to talk about it right now so come back at 4” for context i put in my two weeks notice on april 1st and it all went pretty smoothly even though i’ve had serious problems with this job since i started but i was making a clean exit. are they allowed to send me home and not tell me status of employment??? wtf do i do? should i go…

My AGM decided to schedule me 7 days in a row. The way our pay period lines up, that means no overtime. I had Wed and Thurs off, and I am working from Friday to this coming Thurs. The conversation with her went lile this: Seriously, 7 days in a row? That's kinda harsh. “Oh, boo-hoo, it's not THAT bad.” Couldn't you have scheduled me to be off Fri and Sat so I am not pulling a 7 day stretch? “And have you get TWO weekends off in a row? We canthave that!” Yeah but I don't even get overtime because of our pay-period schedule. “Oh my gosh, get over it!” (I stepped away from her office for a few mintues to cool off, as I was trying not to lose it. Then I cam back after dealing with a few guests.) But seriously, 7 days? “Move on already, sheesh!”…

I don't know what the fuck to do. I worked 60 hours this week and my boss calls me while I'm at dinner with my boyfriend, not sober, asking me to come in for a 12 hour night shift. I told him I couldn't and explained that I had already covered a bunch of extra shifts for them, and wanted one day to spend some fucking time with my boyfriend. An hour later he called me back and told me not to come in tomorrow. I'm fucking terrified because I have a kid and I pay rent. I don't know where else to work and how to get another job quickly. This was my first job. I have about 3k in savings to go through and then I'm fucked. Is this even legal? Is there anything I can do? Why the absolute fuck are we considered such a free country…

Like the title implies, I work in the hospitality industry and one day clocking Into work I started chatting with one of my co-workers. Pretty much out of no where she starts gloating that her son started working at the age of 12. I asked how that's even legal or possible, but according to her all you need is court approval to start working at that age. WHAT?? She even told me that he would work around 30 hours and made 50 cents less then her (and they worked in the same company).. How is this even legal or ethical? Of course not to steer drama I didn't voice any of my concerns, but felt compelled to mention it here.
