Quit My Toxic Job

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…

do you think work at home jobs should require cameras during meetings?

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

Tactics and strategies for workers to fight against abortion restriction

A post in r/antiwork has called for a general strike for the very possible elimination of Roe v. Wade in the United States. https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/uhfipg/roe_v_wade_general_strike/ All Americans who support abortion rights should organize—when and where possible—for a general strike to eliminate the increasing restrictions on abortion by conservative officials. Organize with your coworkers, find out who is also troubled by these new laws being passed and the possibility that the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v Wade. If you’re a student, try to organize a walkout. Pass out fliers and try to organize rallies and protests at your school or university. More importantly, communicate with activists, comrades and others across the county. Ideas and tactics can always be improved the more we communicate. People in Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri and Georgia (where abortion rights are being restricted) can learn a lot from one another and what’s the most effective. Americans across the…

A couple months ago I left my job and couldn’t be happier.

It wasn’t a bad job. But the thought of being told what to do by another human being felt so unnatural. I just woke up one day and said, No More! I quit my job that day. I’m young in the prime of my life and don’t want to waste my youth doing what I don’t want to do. These days I’m excited to wake up every morning (or afternoon).

All the stuff in the subreddit is why I started learning another language since high school so I could move abroad

Basically just venting. No idea how young people are supposed to get started in the USA w/o crippling fear of debt & the fear of losing the health lottery and things getting even worse
