Antiwork

I lost my job illegally for having mental health issues even though I was very upfront and honest about it. Fuck I even got a nurse to fill out the accommodations paper work they gave me! Since then I haven’t been able to find another job which is fucking with me because I have experience and the qualifications but just keep getting rejection letter after rejection letter from companies. Or I get scam artists that provide a false sense of security only to try and take what little I have left. It’s fucking with me insanely, I honestly just need a job….I just need something good to happen is that too much to ask?

Just got done reading a rant about being passed over for a promotion with spelling and grammatical errors galore. I think many here overestimate their worth and capabilities badly.

I'm a single mother and I have a $4400 tax return coming in 2 days. I have a 8-4 office job that I HATE. My boss also probably hates me for being at home with my toddler all the time. I've used up all my holidays and sick days already. My toddler is always sick it seems. I have a supporting spouse that wants me to be happy and stay home if I want. What should I do?

in some sense i'd consider myself lucky to have my job working minimum wage in chain fast food. i'm 17, in high school, and basically had like zero job experience when i got hired. most of my coworkers are like genuinely some of the most sincere people, and they're like the only reason why i haven't quit my job and i'm actually going to miss them when i move to college in 3 months. every other aspect of my job though…absolutely terrible. (a) i got sexually harassed by someone at my work and felt like there was nobody to talk to about it because like i'd just lose my job if i said something. he also lied to me and emotionally manipulated me because he was so “nice” and he “didn't mean it” and apologise for everything but still like what the fuck excuse me sir you're in your mid-twenties,…

Ronald McDonald House, which is Mcdonald’s “charity” raised over $145 million last year. That sounds like a lot of money right? Wrong!!! That $145 million was donated by regular people like you and me. The average McDonalds makes around $7000 a day and there are over 40,000 locations worldwide, THATS OVER $280,000,000 a day. That means that $145 million came from donations from all the people in the world. Think about that. Mcdonald’s makes more in a day than the donations of everyone in the world for a whole year. “bUT aT l3aSt tHeY doNaTeD”- how kind of them to use the money we donated to actually help people. Mcdonald’s spent over $1 billion in advertising last year. $1 BILLION. You’re telling me they can spend a billion on advertising and i’m not supposed to get upset at $145 million, especially with the way they treat their employees. I feel…

I feel day by day it is becoming more and more like r/latestagecapitalism. Not necessarily bad but is that what is the common consensus of the people here?

So I have been thinking while going place to place looking for work and getting the line we have no idea for hiring but you can fill out an application. If the roles were reversed and a company had to hunt you down and you told them I have no idea if I'm looking for a job but you can fill out the special form that you can't bring to anyone else and I might be interested later do you think they would actually do it.
