Antiwork

So I work retail, and the job was red flag from get go but I had to move out of my place. Plus on benefits so I had to get a job. They got no union, only young or old employees. Plus the interviewer advice for how do better in interview was ablist (after i had made clear I'm autistic). Plus barely 2 week notice on your rota, which is illegal but not the only illegal thing they done. It was only a 6 month contract, which they then offer me 3 more months which I took as I didn't have time to search for a new job. That ends this Saturday. He only offered me an extension? (He really wasn't clear in meeting at all), last Friday. I had never accepted it as its not accepted until i sign new contract. But still I turned it down on Monday.…

Corporate life. I was a poster child of a “company man” until I learned the truth. First boss at Company A gave fake bad reviews to employees to keep them from pursuing jobs away from him and to build cases to fire people whenever it was convenient.

All of this for jobs paying less than $40k per year. Dear Corporate America, Fuck you. Very truly yours, James G. Boswell

A year ago we got a new boss and the store has just been steadily falling apart since then, she's a hot head that makes people miserable and she has next to no leadership skills. I've been doing my best to help out around the place to keep things running as smoothly as possible but it's been so frustrating and lately I just stopped caring. I'm busting my ass for next to nothing in return. Few weeks ago I got a repetitive strain injury in my shoulder that's really painful so I've been taking precautions not to enflame It,…
