Antiwork

Customer service is under paid, under appreciated and over worked. I work in sales and without my customer service team there is no way I could do what I do effectively. I make the company a lot of money and the back bone to everything is the customer service team. They deal with customer complaints, enter orders, liaise with procurement, warehouse, transport and the list goes on. Their stress levels are high and reward is non existent. Last year one of my favorite CS people asked for a $5k pay raise after not receiving anything for a number of years. The company has been growing steadily and she definitely deserved it. She had been with the company for nearly 5 years and was on $60K. For context a graduate role in this company pays approx $55k upon entry. The final say always comes down to the CEO even though he…

My lifetime goal is to make 4million but if I stay at my job it would take me 100 years of saving 100% of my paycheck to reach it! Yay

I work in real estate (property management) and in the last months and a half we've had two agents resign (poached for higher pay), one get sacked as he was nowhere near competent and now today my manager has told me he has been poached aswell for a role with double his salary. I'm currently in isolation due to testing positive and ALL WEEK I've had recruiters calling me offering opportunities at $10-$15k higher then what I'm currently getting. I've been in the role for 9 month, was promised a review 6 months in whcih I have not had and when I return on Thursday will be in a team of 3 down from 7. As a result my work load has tripled. So id say it's perfect timing to ask for the review as soon as I get back?

I work at a job where the person working can't leave until another employee relieves them. Normally its one of two managers that relief me and while sometimes they were late 5 to 10 mins which i didn't really care about. Lately its been going overboard in the span of 5 days each of them were late by span of at least 30 mins 3 times in a row, one was a full hour. The third day I got mad because I had a doctors appointment to make and the one manager who was to relief me being late really put me on the edge of missing it. So I reported to the higher manager saying that “hey this is becoming a problem and if the situation was reversed I'd get in trouble and could he please talk to them.” Well skip ahead to next week and they were both…

Any recommendations on to which kind of laxative would work great with the coffee machine? Im looking at the pharmacy and i cant seem to find a good one… Edit: bosses…. They have a meeting just about everymorning.. theres 8 of them…. I wouldve loved to see them fight for the one toilet

Like, dude… The company doesn’t care about you. And neither do the execs/managers/owners. They scheme every day on how to better control and influence you to sacrifice your time and energy, in service of their wallets. They want nothing more than for you to never realize that they steal your money, energy, and time every day. How about we quit with all the false pretenses and just be normal, friendly, professional adults? Enough(!) with the groveling and the lack of self-respect! lol Rant over. lol 🥰

Like I get it, I’d you’re in a corporate high job, or your jeans have holes in them of course they’re not professional. But WHY oh why are nice jeans not acceptable in customer service roles? I recently got hired at a job I don’t really want but need, at a hotel. They have uniforms but didn’t order them until my orientation day and they’re back ordered so probably won’t be here for a few weeks. I asked the dress code and she said just “professional” I then asked if the jeans I was wearing (high waisted medium wash, single color denim skinny jeans. Not loose, no holes, no weird patterns etc. But she said no, absolutely no jeans. But tennis shoes are acceptable footwear? I only accepted this job because I’m out of school and broke as fuck. I have no slacks or professional style pants so I had…

I had a job interview lined up and scheduled for my lunch hour at work, I had already accepted another position and this was the final day of my two week notice. The interview was at 11am. I told my lead, she was fine with it. At 10:54 she came to tell me I couldn't go at 11. I went to my interview. (And it went well!) I got back and they immediately put me on Administrative Leave and told to leave. I'd only been at this position for five months and it was way below my experience level. I wasn't mad, or sad, just kind of incredulous. That's a first for me!
