Antiwork

title text. i ate lunch out today and got some shrimp in the dish, which I suspect to be the culprit for spending my afternoon on the toilet and in bed. luckily i work from home and just have to be “online” and respond to messages – honestly would have liked just to have gone straight to sleep and napped which I didn't for fear of missing a ping and losing my job, which is its own kind of fucked up but – working just conditions us to ignore our own mental, physical, and emotional needs to subject ourselves the demands of a boss or an office or some stupid shit that doesn't matter. like now i'm just fatigued and feeling shitty and I wonder how much untold suffering we all put on ourselves just not to lose money and fall into penury

I work for a big box retail chain with almost 800 stores. This was said to be “motivating” to a group of store managers (myself included) today FIVE times on a video conference call. It was used on various topics and with different levels of intensity. But all the same in the end. Someone in 2022 actually thinks this way and is in charge of hundreds of lives as the district manager. We are doomed if we don't change some part of this structure!! And this comment doesn't even touch on how this is an offensive comment to Chipotle employees or food service employees everywhere……

I have been asked to interview a candidate for a role on my team. She is an engineer who previously worked at Google. She passed the primary screening and a BA interview and a technical interview. I am the FOURTH interview. I have myself bailed when asked to do more than 3. I feel like such a jerk going through it – I plan on telling her the interview is going to be quick as she has already interviewed on many topics. I will offering a few softball questions on some specific topics for the team. I have already pretty much made my decision that she is going to pass my interview – my goal is to make this as painless as possible for her. Edit:. There ended up being 5 people on the call. Still only lasted 30 minutes, tried to be relevant to the role. I don't think…

So I had to take a sick day because I was seriously messed up (I get migraines pretty bad so it’s kind of a semi-regular thing). I tried to put in for sick time but my boss came and told me that I’m out. Now, when I look at my previous pay stubs since January, they all say I have 24 hours available (the legal minimum sick time for California). I tell my boss that I have this balance on my pay stubs so it’s in writing, his response is that “we’ll have to fix that” since according to him I don’t get more sick time till my anniversary, which is in less than two weeks. Is there something I can do or am I just fucked out of a day of pay?

I work at a locomotive repair shop making decent money. I run the entire shipping and receiving department by MYSELF and it’s way too much. I’ve been asking for help over a year and I usually just get made fun of. I get called gay slurs every day at work, I get yelled at every day because I can’t keep up with everything. I honestly dread waking up every day because I know I have to go to work and deal with this shit every single day. I want to just walk out and quit but I have 2 kids so I feel like I am basically stuck in this hell hole. I just come home from work and just lay on my couch and dread the next day

It started off so good. I thought I was working for a generally progressive company. Making good money. I was learning so much. A year later there'd been no management for 6 months for my team. Duties are crushing me and im not getting any help and expected to work ever harder then i already do. They took away our unlimited PTO and made it 0. They made us hourly instead of salaried and encouraged us saying it was so we could work more overtime. The decisions leadership made were horrible. I got fired for a phone call because I've been under so much pressure. No leadership and no management to help us. Taking on things I wasn't ever prepared or fully trained to do but still did anyway and did it well until I couldn't take it anymore. The ceo last week in our leadership meeting said she wondered…
