Antiwork

A coworker filed a very serious accusation of me to Ethics, the facility investigator contacted me, I explained to them that the accusation is not true and that this stems from a story I recounted at a work happy hour. I could have lost my clearance and my job due to this lie. The investigator stated that they are comfortable closing the case after speaking with me, but the thing is….I only told this story to 3 coworkers while we were standing in a circle drinking at happy hour. I need advice on how to proceed forward because all 3 of these people have been extremely kind to me, praised me for my hard work, and told me they love working with me…so its really personal to me that one of them would try to ruin my career like this. Also I was tasked with hosting a farewell happy hour…

For a long time, it seemed the main posts in this group were horror stories employers, managers, job posts, interviews etc that set out to exploit and mistreat employees. Now I see posts about “not” jamming locks and destroying cash registers, or complaining about not being allowed to fuck around at work, or about cheating an employer regardless of its practices. I just want to clarify what type of community this is. Are we against any organization trying to trade your time/effort for money? Is there a presumption that there is no such thing as a good boss that treats their employees with respect, allows for work life balance, and compensates them fairly? Or, are we simply demanding that companies who exploit their workers be held to task and forced by legislation or collective action to end such practices?

There was a Fire alarm where I work today, all the customers were evacuating, stores were locking their doors and employees evacuated, fire trucks arrived and my supervisors brilliant response was…. to wait and see. Sriously? The fuck kind of stage of capitalism is this?

Sorry if my formatting is wrong. This is my first post. I work in landscaping. While my boss’s truck was in the shop, he asked if I would be alright with driving the crew to the job site (which is about an hour and a half away). I told him I have no problem with driving AS LONG AS IM COMPENSATED APPROXIMATELY. I proceeded to drive 4 days that week, an hour and a half each way, three hours round trip, for a grand total of 12 hours on the week. Come Friday we get done with work and drive home. When I drop him off, he thanks me and hands me a $50 bill. It happened suddenly, so I wasn’t really able to realize how much I got ripped off. The next week I approached him and explained that what he paid me wasn’t even enough to cover the…

For real tho. My company sucks. I like the work. It's fun working with ppl who are absolutely crazy cuz you never know what you're gunna get day to day. But. Were supposed to have 8 staff. We have 3 counting myself. Then they pull us into a meeting and I'm expecting them to be like “thanks so much for your hard work I know we're way understaffed yada yada “. But no. They say we're doing a bad job and the kitchen looks like shit. Well yeah. We have a third of the employees were supposed to have for the last year and a half. They said there gunna start punishing us if we can't get the extra work done. Excuse me but I work six days a week ten hour shifts. 60 hours a week to make ends meet for the company. Fuck you. Then they pulled me…

Hey everyone! This is my first post on reddit so forgive me if I make any errors. Also, I apologize, it's quite a long one. I'll include a TL;DR at the end. I've worked at the same hospital for the past three years. I started in August of 2018 in their food service department, working my way to now being a scheduler for radiology. I started my scheduling job in December of last year under the promise of working from home when finished with my training. I was told this would take about 6 weeks, also giving time to get my computer put together from the IT department. No problem, I figured it wouldn't take me 6 weeks to be fully trained but I wasn't about to argue. I started the week before Christmas, so that week and the week after was just doing some basics with learning their system,…

Started a new job as a clerk in a freight company not too long ago. Quit my job as a toddler teacher because I couldn’t even pay the bills on what little I made. Less than 15k a year. No benefits. Anyway, Ive never worked in this type of job before. I felt like I was doing really good. I cleared out my dock. Found lost shipments and sent them to the customer. I’m billing things appropriately, etc. Boss smiles to my face, all chatty and in a good mood then later sends an email stating I’m not doing good enough. I’m just so disheartened. I was so proud of everything I’ve accomplished and this email is a slap to the face. How does anyone deal with feeling so unappreciated?
