Antiwork

I think we all need to start pushing the idea that as long as you have friends and FOOD you are okay in life and don't need money……. so when's that going to happen? ….. you don't need to work for someone if you don't need money 🤷

24/m, live at home with my folks. I recently started a new job, about a month ago, which has been ruining my mental health. It isn't what I expected so I dread going in most days, and I've started taking it out on myself (self medicating with weed and alcohol, not caring about my well-being, etc). I think I want to leave and take some time to get my head on straight, but it's only been a month so some people think I should try sticking it out. However I just feel in my gut that this place isn't right for me, and on top of my poor mental health, I just want to get out. I have a chunk of change saved up, and I live at home so I don't have to worry much about big bills, just some foodstuffs, gas, and my student loans. I also have…

I'm posting this here cause I know everyone here will understand. We all complain about baby boomers believe work needs to be reformed. But what about those select idiots in the millennial generation and younger who were groomed by capitalists? I mean generation doesn't mugger here in this case. A party up for vote is offering a 4 day work week but still at 40 hours. 4, 10 hour days. I dont want 10 hour days as a standard it's ridiculous. But anyways my point is anywhere I'd post about a 32 – 30 hour work week these guys have an excuse as to why working this long is so important or some shotty comment like it can't be figured out. “We'd have to take a 20% pay cut so no” “Why not increase wage by 20% above a living wage? You would rather 20% less life to live for…

Been having some issues with my job with things like broken promises and whatnot. I ended up escalating the main issue to HR (not our ally i know) and also got a call from a supervisor I didn't know during this process who tried to get me to quit quite a few times. I informed HR of this and how I wasn't comfortable speaking with her anymore and was told this issue would be escalated again. I get a message yesterday about how I'm in a zoom call to discuss with the supe I'm not comfortable with a solution. I ask for it to be done in writing as I'm not comfortable talking with the other supe I don't know. I'm told I'm expected to be there. I offer an alternative as I don't trust them and want to have what's discussed in writing. This time my job is threatened…

How would I be able to take a supervisor to HR potentially for making comments on my appearance more than once? I started a new job a few months ago and one particular supervisor keeps on making comments on my appearance whether that be about my hair and now asked if I was on a diet (wtf??) I've told other supervisors about this but nothing has been done so far. How could I go to HR and not lose my job?

Looking for help with a script for my husband. (He doesn’t have a Reddit account) He’s the right hand man for a small local landscaping company- he’s been working there for 6 years and is making $20 an hour. Last year the other person doing what he did left so he did both jobs all season, saving company $20 an hour with the same amount of work getting done. The owner gives raises at the end of the season – so you have to wait until the next spring to see any increase- and it’s literally 50 cents – he thinks he’s being generous, talking about how it’s hard on everyone. My husband is looking for help coming up with some simple, to the point facts/statements to hopefully make him understand that if pay increases don’t even at least match inflation they’re pay cuts not raises. It may not change…
