Antiwork

Long story short: we got an instruction from head quarter to compile a report with a four month time frame. My boss don't care much for reading incoming emails, missed the instruction and only discovered it two weeks before the deadline. We argued that it would be impossible to deliver a report to the expected standard in only two weeks and asked him to request an extended deadline. He refused saying it is impossible and that he wouldn't even ask. We busted our asses, worked over the weekend and on a public holiday to complete our inputs to it. He then forgot all about sending it in, it was only three weeks later when one of the staff reminded him of it that he finally submitted it (three weeks we could have used well to improve the report). To top it off, he apologised to HQ for the low quality…

4 days a week is still too much. That’s 4 days of waking up early, driving to work, and wasting 10 hours of my day. My one weekday off is typically spent sleeping and recovering and then I do the same on weekends. I’m so over it.

I got sick with covid last weekend. My symptoms are improving, but I'm still covid positive after 5 days. My boss doesnt seem to care, hes giving me the vibe that as long as I'm feeling better I should go to work, yet I'm still symptomatic and just tested positive.

Would love to find a place like that to work, or at a minimum support the companies that treat their people well.

So, throwaway account since some coworkers know my other handle. I started a new role 5 months ago and the team is drastically different from my last. Even with knowledge transfer they completely changed up things and asked for different outcomes. Okay cool, I changed my methods. I meet with my direct report boss 3 times a week to update her and get on the same page while also using this time to ask for feedback and tips for any improvements. Most of the time the feedback is very minor and I correct quickly. However today was a different story. Today we did a touch point and she spent 5 minutes telling me “don’t take this personal” before grilling me about not taking my job seriously, she feels I lack motivation, and come off like I don’t care about timelines or the projects I’m working on…She even says if I…
