Antiwork

I am the stereotypical “good” employee, always on time, do my duties well, and am generally pleasant to work with. Today at work, I was checking people out. I finished a customer and it was time for me to leave. I sign off and let the customer know that the person at the next register can help him. Other guy at register had no one there, customer didn’t mind. My supervisor got prissy and asked me “Are you really not gonna check this dude out??? They said this in a very rude tone”. I just said “nope it’s time for me to leave, other cashier can help him.”. I typically do accommodate my bosses asking me to stay to finish up the line-but my only requirement is that I’m asked to stay nicely and with respect. As I was leaving I heard my boss talking shit about me to other…

Lunch ends in 6 minutes. Holding it so I can shit on “their” time.

Just as an observation- I am old enough to have watched as the “Personnel” Office sign was changed to “Human Resources”, and saw that step as nefarious. The workshops being offered to “Human Resource” directors became anti-union and exploitative. I would not want to have faced what you are all facing. Organize.

I had to cancel a doctor’s appointment because I couldn’t afford it. Have no groceries in the house. Yet our GM wants us to be forgiving for her fuck up when we. do. not. work. for. free. She’s lucky she manages a dispensary and all my coworkers seemed too stoned to care about anything, but the fact that this has happened twice is totally unacceptable and the company should face consequences.

So im an EMT working part time 45+ hours a week. My husband works full time 60+ hours a week. We can afford a house but cant find one so we live with my parents. We pitch in and have other payments like car, student loan debt, etc. We are still struggling to make any profit… like saving any money is almost impossible. So I'm looking at a 2nd job just to save for our future. Im so depressed and disappointed. I feel like its my fault for not being able to save enough money with my husband and I both working. I feel defeated and stressed and have no clue what to do.

I was driving into work yesterday and a piece of metal shredded my one tire and break line. Due to some insurance issues and the accident happening in a very rural part of my state it took much longer for myself to get my car towed to my mechanic. Therefore I missed most of the workday. Speaking to my supervisor he said I need to use vacation time for the amount I missed. This is my first job out of college and I just wanted to know if this is normal or not? My common sense indicator is going off but corporate doesn't involve common sense.

I was terminated from my job on 3/22 (for a BS reason, but I’m not getting into that). My company has outstanding pay that I have not received from hours worked as far back as November. This was during a nationwide outage of a major time clock company, due to hackers, that they are still “reconciling.” Today would have been my final pay day, and I did not receive any of the back pay, PTO, etc. They’re also refusing to approve my 401k withdrawal, so I’m now not able to pay my bills this month because of this. I already called HR and informed them that I did not get this money, and that by state law they are required to pay any final moneys to me on the next payday. I was told that they were escalating this to someone higher than them. But I’m not sure how I…

Lets be honest. There is a small % of people that are benefiting and everyone else is low key slaves under the guise of not being slaves. The people who are doing well toss their hands in the air and say “just get a better job” or “that's life” or some equally useless garbage. Essentially, they are okay with your position, their position and frankly couldn't care less about anyone but themselves. Well if we were to say adopt the same mentality, why dont we just say… I don't know… take all their shit for ourselves. When they get pissed off we can shrug our shoulders and tell them thats life. Has anyone noticed that the older generations are banking on the hope that no one will wise up and burn this shit to the ground? Im not going to lie, Im okay with bringing slavery back. Nothing about race…
