Antiwork

It's been a rough month or two at work, with the store manager out for surgery and the assistant manager running stuff. I've been struggling with my health, in edition to scheduling being just a nightmare to deal with if one wants to have a life. What's really upsetting though is me and the other girl that are stuck working overtime while the assistant manager runs off, can't do anything I'm struggling to to schedule appointments j go and she is with spending time with her kids. The assistant manager has taken how many days off while we're struggling

Posting on my throw away because I know the company checks Reddit. When I started in my dept 5+ years ago, the majority had been there for almost a decade, if not longer. Due to some horrible changes in management, I became the senior person this past January. The third most senior is the youngest in the dept but the way projects got assigned he does the most work (the project didn’t used to be that bad, but it’s harder the more new people there are). By talking about pay with each other, we learned he’s the least paid out of the entire dept, including those who have been there a couple months with no experience while he has a bachelors and has been with the company for seven years. So leading up to me taking senior role, every single senior person has brought up how unfair it is, and…

All I see now is liberal capitalists whining about their shit boss and dreaming of being a wage slave in Europe. Is this sub still about abolishing wage slavery or am I too far left even for antiwork now?

I am currently looking for a new teaching position and I have had three interviews with local districts in the last month. Two of the three made me offers almost instantly. Yesterday I received an “offer” from the last district that absolutely floored me. The school called me and said that they absolutely loved me, expressed that I would be a perfect fit for the position and all of the things one would expect from a good interview… then said that they were not sure that they actually had the opening anymore and needed time to figure it. They did not say how much time they would need, but did have the gall to ask me to reject other offers so they could have a chance to get it straightened out. These lunatics actually asked me to pass on other offers from other schools while they got their act together.…

I know that no one WANTS to work, and not everyone has a passion that perhaps they want to make into a job or career. But for me, if I'm going to be working for 30-40 years of my life, I want to feel like my work and time matters. And I hate the idea of just working to make someone higher up a helluva lot richer. Or to get people to spend money on something. But like the highest paying jobs just make people richer and I don't want those jobs.. or they're too customer-facing and I can't do those jobs either. I have PTSD from working in grocery and I can't do it EVER again. Can't do nursing, sales, call centers, insurance, etc. Can't do it. I don't have a heart or mind for business. Don't care for it. And I don't care about people enough to do…

I spoke up about safety concerns today, my entire department has been scared to speak up so I did what they wouldn’t. What are my defensive options if my team lead and supervisor decide to retaliate against me? EDIT So our department has a leader that doesn’t want anyone outside of the department coming into it. He tries his hardest to keep upper management out so they don’t see him going against company policy. He wasn’t in today and I ended up having a safety audit done on me to see if I was performing how I should safety wise. When it concluded I took the safety person aside and voiced my concerns and showed him some of the examples of the unsafe work environment. What leads me to believe that I could retaliated against me is that some people in the department are loyal to the team lead and…
