Antiwork

Like you’d think after the first question they would know how I feel about luck and chances in life but question after question it was asking me the same thing. It got to a point where I was laughing out loud at the absurdity. What is their game here? Clearly it’s not just about whether or not I think prayer or magic crystals will get me the job lol

Hi. Not completely sure if this is the right sub to post this to but I would assume it’s ok. I just need some advice. I’m 20 years old and I tried college for 2 years and I realized it’s not for me. I was thinking it would be better if I went to trade school instead. I was just wondering if anyone in this sub could explain to me why this is a good option and what programs would be the best for me to get into. I was looking into programs such as hvac, aviation mechanic, and electrical. I would like to hear from people who are in these jobs or have experience with trade school in general. I would like to know how do you like your job and do you think you made the right decision going to trade school instead of regular college. Also how’s…

At my job we accrue 1.4 hours of vacation per week (all of these increments are at my current level), 1.4 hours of sick leave per week, we are given 25 hours of family sick leave (to care for a family member) per year, 8 hours of personal leave (for meetings and such) per year and 2 personal days per year, and you can buy two more vacation days for the entire year. When i first saw this i thought “okay i can deal with this, this seems reasonable for someone just starting to work here”. Nope. The family sick leave and personal leave come out of your accrued sick leave. So if my 2 year old gets sick and i gave to take off two days for her, not only do i have to make sure I have the time in family sick, but i have to have it…

For a colleague just figured out she has 38,400 more hours to put in before she can retire (they tell you when you can retire). She will knock out a good 8 of those today. ​ https://preview.redd.it/otvnpf4vs4p81.png?width=497&format=png&auto=webp&s=e6a8da1c5618c7cc002015fd4c5487b4e6b945e7

Is it normal to want to turn the steering wheel into oncoming traffic, every day, on one's way to work? Asking for a friend.

At my workplace, you can tip individual staff members or “all staff”. The “all staff” tips get collected by the head manager until theres enough to buy 3-4 boxes of pizza. I have dietary restrictions that mean I cant eat the pizza. I'd much rather my share of the money no matter how small after splitting it between 20 people.

I wake up at 5 AM. Leave work at 7 AM to get to the work place at 9 AM (yes, long commute), and then i work a job i don't find meaningful at all, clock out at 6 PM and then get home at 8 PM. Rinse and repeat. Even if my commute was cut in half i would still only have 3 hours of “free time” but of course that would have to be for house chores. I'm tired. This isn't fun.

When I worked for the United States Postal Service I had to use a doctor's note if I ever called in sick. I got written up because I told my boss “do you need me to puke on your desk for me to use my benefits?” He's also said “if you really can't work you should go to the emergency room.” TO USE MY BENEFITS! Also every morning i needed to make a commitment on when i would be finished(yelled at you for being back late and if you were early you got more work), this is impossible to gauge exactly when you will be done if you have 4,000 letters 500 magazines, and 150 packages(fluctuates every day). Would've retired there if that manipulation wasn't present, 4 years wasted. P.S.- sorry for the punctuation.

So… I happened to be digging into my employer benefits this morning and I see the company policy has been updated to discontinue the pension to new hires effective January 1, 2022. We literally just had our annual employee meeting (with thousands attending) in which we were told those near the global offices needed to return to work on a hybrid policy effective next week. Yet..the company pension had been axed without a word/mention of it. In addition, I just hired a new employee over the holidays and we started them early January. Why not tell me, HR, that this was coming so I could have pushed to get them on in December instead of early Jan? I'm seething a bit right now…..
