Antiwork

Need some advice on whether I should respond and what the response should be. Background: I was contacted by a company who had a client that needed my IT expertise. We agreed on a corp2corp agreement. I went through several interviews, and was verbally told I have the job. it took them several months to on-board me. Very involved background check, drug test, etc… Finally I started. First week I didn't have a laptop, so I just kind of did nothing while waiting for the laptop to arrive. Then 2 weeks of on-boarding, doing corporate training, and about 3-4 meetings with a team regarding a project. I wasn't given any tasks or told anything specific. As a matter of fact, I haven't even spoken to my manager yet. This morning I logon and see an email from my manager's manager, saying: “Please accept my sincere apologies but we will need…

I work in IT consulting and I got around 12years of experience managing complicated projects. When looking for new gigs there are a few things that repel me instantly: personality/logic/other cognitive tests – those tests are often checking your basic cognitive skills or basic logic – they are easy to ace once you have done a few in past, but I draw a line here and usually just tell them that I want to be out of the process. Cognitive tests or character tests usually mean that they want a certain kind of people and diversity will be almost non-existent. Similarly, logic tests or math tests (for IT delivery positions…) will check the skills that you would never use at work. Again they are easy enough, but utterly useless in the grand scheme of things, and a waste of time in the process. Basic language skills – They aren't necessarily…

TLDR at the Bottom. Backstory, I'm in Eastern Canada and last year I was let go without notice from a prominent printing company because the high stress environment caused by my manager aggravated my IBS and she was pressuring me to take less bathroom breaks. After my contract ended I was let go and spent the last year looking for work. I'm in Canada and I had one year of Employment Insurance which ended March 11th All throughout my unemployment I looked for work and tried to find literally anything but no one ever called me back. I even went to a temp agency and they ghosted me. Finally about a month ago I landed a job at a bakery as a cashier. I was trained in Food and Safety previously and this place was full of red flags. Washing dishes in dirty, cold sinks, they had me working before…

I have the sick time and actually got food poisoning from sashimi I had last night (oops) but I hate how the thought of calling out brings me dread DESPITE having the sick time for it. Management pulls you aside the day you return to work to remind you how calling out “leaves your coworkers with more work” and it’s like????? I have sick time, unless you want me throwing up sushi for corporate to watch during their visit, I don’t want to hear it! It’s just a shame I know I’m going to REALLY get a rant for it when I go in for work again because today happens to be a day corporate is coming. Don’t guilt trip me when I already feel gross from being sick

I was working remote for 2 years. It was glorious. I didn't have one cough or sniffle for the entire duration of the lockdown. I go back to work, bam. Instant cold. I've had a headache and backaches for the entire month of March. It seems I have two years of illnesses that I have to catch up on.

(Please delete if not allowed!) So I work at an unnamed Italian Chain restaurant in the Northeastern US. I liked it at first – decent-ish pay, nice management, etc. But like my other jobs, it has become hell. My whole reason for posting this is to ask: Am I being dramatic? Or are my concerns legitimate? First of all, my general manager (GM) bribes us into fudging 5-star reviews on Google. It's sketchy, and makes you wonder what is going on to make him use his own money for these reviews. Well… Sexual harassment, for one. I'm 19f, and within 3 weeks of working here I've been touched inappropriately already. And I don't feel very safe reporting it, as my GM said in my orientation, “if something ever makes you uncomfortable, tell me and it won't happen around you anymore”. Great, so instead of handling it like a professional, that…
