Antiwork

…Starbucks specific agitprop that I can discreetly slip to employees at branches in my local area. I'm thinking something business card sized or similar to minimize the danger to the workers themselves. I know there are things like this for general workers unions and the like but I'm hoping for something pointedly highlighting the growing trend of Starbuck's recent wave of unionization and with directions to other useful resources for collectivising. I'm hoping to sow some seeds around here. Any suggestions?

Hey all! Not my first time posting, but somethings came up at my job that I’d appreciate the further left of us’ opinions on. Context: I am a teacher for a for profit company in Japan. Not my first choice of job, but circumstances necessitated it — I am working on chancing careers but not financially able to quit outright just yet. The situation: My school is very understaffed — it’s just me and a constantly exasperated and micromanaging teacher with whom I butt heads with often. A few weeks back, some scheduling issues made me make the decision to skip my lunch break — her response to this was to get extremely made and yell at me in front of our boss. In Japan, this could be considered “power harassment” – something companies take really seriously because they can get the in a lot of legal trouble for ignoring.…

I know delaying pay isn't legal, but this is a bit unique situation. For context, I am a full time student and employee at this place and am really burning the candle at both ends recently. When I initially started the job I signed some paper work through this app they use called zenifits that allowed me to choose whether I got payed with direct deposit or by check, I chose check (call me old fashioned). It has been a few weeks and I've had no issue until now. I got a text from my manager while in class today saying this Man.: “Hey, I need you to do your direct deposit stuff on Zenefits We aren't doing checks anymore and if you don't have it set up in the next like 2 hours your won't get paid” I did not see this message until way after 2 hours (as…

My partner has been working for a employment service provider for 14 months. She started as a ‘business coordinator’ which turned out to be a glorified name for a receptionist. She ensures people who are getting benefits are in fact trying to find work, she does the meeting and greeting of clients. Fills out claims when someone gets a job. Slowly her responsibilities have been increasing. Unfortunately when someone’s claim has been cut off and they come to the office upset/angry/abusive she is the first person they see. She’s been spat on, shouted out and threatened. Once with a knife. I can’t count the amount of times she has called me up crying down the phone. I have urged her to find new work but we don’t live in a big town and there’s not much around. She already drives 2 hours a day for this job. I then said…

I just looked it up and apparently when I kill myself my mom and partner should be able to get all my debts discharged, even my student loans. We can't afford to get married so that shouldn't be an s Issue. Once I get some stuff taken care of I think this might be it. I don't have a method yet but I'll figure it out. Have to clean up the house, my shit is everywhere and I don't want my partner to deal with that. She just texted me and said she found a collections letter but it was for a small amount so she paid it, and one other bill too, so it doesn't go to collections. I'm so ashamed. It was for my cpap machine supplies. I haven't been able to afford a lot of my medications for months. I stupidly spent my last round of student…

So late last year I had covid, and working in the nhs means I couldn’t go back in until every symptom had gone, so I was off for 10 days. On my return, I was told if I took another day off, I would be fired. Flash forward to today; I’ve been up vomiting all night and start work in an hour and I’m really worried that if I go in and have to go home, I’ll be sacked. I just needed to rant
