Antiwork

If, collectively, the workers in America simultaneously declare they won't have anymore children in protest of capitalism and our rights being taken away, that poses a serious threat to their bottom line. No more obedient workers or soldiers means no more profit or looting of other countries. Collecting millions of signatures on a declaration of protest would be the a good way of showcasing the seriousness as well as those who were already planning to get a vasectomy to do it in solidarity.

A series of events this past week has led me to composing my resignation letter in anticipation of handing it in this Friday. Just looking for some outside opinions to see if my current attitude is justified or not. I think I know the answer already but when has it ever hurt to ask the internet! So for a bit of background, I am a trans woman. I began my transition in 2020 and have yet to come out in the workplace as it is not a very LGBT friendly environment. No idea how I haven’t been outed yet as my appearance has drastically changed but we can save that for another post. As such,I have been actively hunting for a new job. This past Friday I told my boss I had a bad case of diarrhea but would be working from home like the dedicated piece of shit I…

I’ve been here for a year and it’s making me sad and cutting into my life outside of work. I’m at the point where I think about work when I first get up in the morning and it really sucks. I don’t think I’m cut out for agency life. We are short staff and I am the digital person who runs Ads and leads client meetings. I’m doing two jobs in one and working OT for it without getting getting paid. Should I leave work on time and not care about unfinished work? They rave about not working overtime but then throw all this work on me. It’s really unhealthy. Can really use some advice.

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.
