Antiwork

Augusta National has kids work a schedule 5:30am till 11:30pm, no thats not a typo, in the exclusive dining rooms. Im talking a room where only the folk with a jacket of a particular hue, are allowed to eat. Then had the audacity to tell these kids dont expect to be tipped because its tradition not to.Fucking tradition? I guess thats why its called the Masters. What the hell? Ten bucks a hour, 4 hours of sleep a night if they are lucky, and wont be tipped by these gentry a holes because its tradition? Its absolutely disgusting. Masters start tomorrow, we need to get this to the front page as soon as posdible so that maybe these high class clowns will treat these hardworking kids with a measure of dignity.

So I go in for a job interview, and the first thing they want me to do is fill out a résumé (I applied on Indeed, so I know they already had one). Not a big deal, but a tad bit frustrating. So when I finally go into the interview, I was told that the amount I asked for was not possible. That's all well and good, but the amount they advertised was 15-20 an hour. The interviewer offered me 14, and said I'd have a chance at a whopping 15 in 90-120 days. When I mentioned they had advertised the job at 15-20, the interviewer seemed surprised and told me he had nothing to do with the ad. Here's the kicker: THE OWNER OF THE COMPANY was the one to post the ad. Needless to say I declined the job. What kinda bait and switch malarkey is this?

That's basically all got to say on the matter. I've seen enough horror stories about Goodwill in this subreddit. It's really disgusting how they treat their employees, or let them get berated on an hourly basis by shit Karen customers and try to take advantage of special people by paying them pennies while the top 10 of goodwill employees make a combined total of nearly 60 million dollars. And if any higher ups from goodwill reads this y'all should be ashamed of yourselves. Fuckin non profit my ass sociopaths.

I work for a high school tutoring company in Sydney, Australia where we tutors work as contractors so get paid for the hours worked only. I have worked as a tutor there for 2 years. At the end of the first school year I was there, the owner of the company asked all tutors to write a report for each student detailing their progress throughout the year, what we have been working on in tutoring, any specific challenges, and what still needs to be worked on, which she would then send on to the parents to keep them happy. She estimated this to be about a paragraph. There was no mention of payment, just “please get the reports in by this date”. A friend who also works for her said this was normal and happened every year, and was stressed about having to write her 17 reports which was going…

Walmart literally fired me because I got in a car accident and was in the hospital. I guess I was easy to replace…

It's so draining to work 40 hours a week and have no time for myself without cutting out important errands like showering, cooking good meals, cleaning the house, and grocery shopping. Neglecting all that so I can do something on the 2 days I have off and not able to save up enough for anything. I can't buy a house without a decade of planning. School without loans for 20+ years. I pray that the time amounts I spend on the lottery will save me from this hell but I know I'm kidding myself. Not called the stupid tax for no reason. I'm just lost and I can't get out of being some cog. Thanks trickle down.

The cost of what didn't happen never appears on the profit & loss statement. Seasoned employees who leave and so business doesn't get done, profits not made, plus the costs of hiring, training, and not being up to speed…. These costs in my industry are HUGE. Like, $300-500k minimum. It is SO much cheaper to just treat people nicely, to resource them, to serve them. Plus, the workplace is just way happier! Why is this so hard to get through some skulls?! (Rhetorical question. I know why.)
