Antiwork

TLDR: the assistant manager at my job has hated me since high school and threatened me so I quit I worked at this truck stop every single time I’ve moved home, put years of my life into this store, I loved it bc I loved my boss and my coworkers, I put 4 out of 6 summers since graduation there. I put in over time and maximum effort cuz I enjoyed it and I liked the people, it was nice being able to make peoples day who were traveling and cheer them up, and more than once help families who broke down or got locked out. I know it sounds odd but it was kinda fulfilling My boss quit last year and things never recovered Little back ground on me I’m a 24 year old F and I come and go a lot. I’ve got a place to stay and…

Title says it all really… I finally take a vacation after over a year working at this company with no raise or even a Christmas bonus. It took 6 months to get them to pay benefits that were originally agreed upon during the interviews. I asked for a raise because I couldn’t afford my ADHD medications out of pocket costs anymore and they made it seem like they were doing me a favor. I make “too much” for state assistance at $20/hr. I take home about $39k/yr at that rate. My health insurance is $300/mo. even with company paying 50% which I would lose and I am currently recovering from Covid-19 that I contracted while on vacation 7 days ago. We are all just bags of meat collecting shiny shit floating around on a big blue rock in the middle of space and I can’t wait to get caught up…

I had two jobs from the past 4 years that I put into either a HSA or FSA. This is on me for not looking at the full details, but since I haven't worked there for 2 years+ the money I put into has been wiped out. I don't go to the doctors because, as you all know, crazy expensive so I was holding onto my cards until something came up. Something came up and now needing to use the money, but my accounts have been wiped out and any money I put into them either were wiped out due to no usage or the funds went back to my last job since they were pretax dollars. I'm at a loss. I paid into these and the companies I worked for (and who they worked with these HSA/FSA accounts) just took my money.

So in all the infinite wisdom of Oshkosh Corp Access division (really don’t care if HR sees this they fucked me enough) our attendance policy has been changed to a point system and now the kicker, no doctors notes! It used to be if we missed work with a doctors note (even if it was for someone else like this situation) they’d accept it and either cover with vacation or just approve the absence. Now it’s if we miss days it has to be pre-approved. Got a doctors appointment you knew about it get it pre-approved. More than three days missed has to be voluntarily covered with disability or FMLA or you take points bullshit like that. 2 points a day. No points gets you the grand raise of 1.20 an hour! So now I gotta either take points cause my 50 hours of vacation isn’t acceptable or sit with…

My last job was like a toxic relationship and the way it ended was like a bad break up. The amount of abuse and mental damage is still in my head. How to get over it? Or if you experienced this how did you get over it?

Just venting about today’s meeting. I work in retail at a high end place and our customers have lots of disposable income. I don’t provide the service, I’m just cashier, so there’s a lot of instances of the customers being very rude to us and doing a complete 180 when their service provider walks up to them. I’ve made some comments at the end of the day about customers with 700 dollar silver amex cards who will argue with me about the cost of service or about a service fee we charge ($5). On top of the rude customer, I don’t talk to my coworkers. We have little in common. It’s a rare day any of them say hello to me when we all clock in, or say goodbye when they leave. Today we had a meeting and service provider indirectly addressed my comments, calling them nasty, and saying we…

Im actually so frustrated, basically just got told to go fuck myself

I have been doing fitness for about 6 plus years now, and in January of 2022 I wanted to a different style of fitness training/coaching to my resume. I join a franchise “I Love KickBoxing.” I knew my different style mix with this would be quite unique when it came to classes. Typically, a job has a set time of training time, which I understood. After 3 months of virtual training, in the whole staff (4 people) were still doing the training because of the owner who didn’t live in the same state as the gym. It got to the point where it was getting in the of my personal life, and my other clients! I toughed it out thinking it would change, and it did for a bit until the owner finally decided to come in. He came in ripped everyone apart even threatened to fire me on the…

I have my main boss who says it's a ” requirement ” to have cameras on during meeting and she should not have to keep asking us to do so it's part of the job and they expect to see you Now I do agree somewhat as a employee you should be presentable but also like customers do not see me and it's kinda a invasion of privacy to have a manager or company in my private home space? Like I have my camera in my bedroom because I'm not rich which feels even worse We do have “backdrops” built into the cameras that block out the background but they can glitch and cut off at any moment which kinda gives me anxiety if it were to happen and coworkers and bosses judge my living situation
