Antiwork

Just quick run down on the money making world of dialysis. So a lot of patients starting dialysis have private insurance at first-whether it's a state ran or employee based, even if these people don't go back to work they are guaranteed anywhere from 18-36 months of coverage from their private insurance-IF they can't afford the premiums guess what? A grant program will help cover the costs-this is important to note as this is usually funded with donations from dialysis companies and manufacturers of dialysis related products-a tax write off. So with their coverage extended it's private pay rates all the way baby for a long period of time especially because the average life span of a dialysis patient is 3-5 years-most of the rest of their life is covered by this insurance….after this grace period they automatically go onto medicaid. At one time we had a patient's insurance paying…

Hello antiworkers of the cyberspace! I was hesitant to post about this, because the person apologized and the company's actually taking action to resolve the issue, but the person at fault doesn't seem to understand the implications, even though I've stated them, and I think it's an interesting situation overall. Anyway, hopefully those were enough words to deter any manager from following to read. On Tuesday, my new manager was cleaning the cabinet where we usually leave our belongings during work, and they grabbed my glasses, asked whose they were, which I didn't hear cause I was actually doing my job, and working through a rush. Without a response, they threw them into the trash, which was picked up soon after lmao. I didn't realize what had happened until later when I went looking for them. They seemed to have “forgotten” that they threw them in the trash, and went…

I’m in my last semester of college applying for jobs right now. I had two interviews this week where either nobody showed up or they said they’d send me some information about other positions and then didn’t. I’m really annoyed by all this because I’m already overworked with my classes and this just adds unnecessary stress. Not to mention how they’d probably go off about how unprofessional I am if I pulled something like this.

Just found out why I’m missing hours each pay check and wanted to hear your thoughts. Shift is from 3-11 (8hrs). I clock in at 2:45, the system round it to 3. No big deal, I don’t work till 3 anyways. The problem is we started having work meetings at the start of each shift. This pushes my relief back roughly 15 minutes each night. Apparently the system rounds off those 15 minutes at the end as if I never worked them. Is this legal? Im forced to stay until the meeting is over but the computer rounds as if the meetings never happened. My current solution is to wait around till the system can’t round back so I get payed that time. This is a large company producing beer in a factory setting, I don’t believe our union contract says anything about rounding time but I will check it.…

My coworker, after sustaining ducking debilitating LUNG DAMAGE from my boss’s and other coworker’s decisions, has just told me he is thinking of coming in on Monday against his doctor’s recommendation. I’m trying to tell him that there are other options— unemployment, temporary or permanent disability, suing my boss for worker’s comp— and that the type of work he’s currently doing will only make his condition worse but he’s so focused on this job being the only thing he has. I’m putting in my two weeks notice today. I’m trying to support my coworker as much as I can but I can’t watch someone die over a job.

I used to be a freelance graphic designer but in my admin job I sometimes get to do creative projects. It's a joy until people who don't have a design background get involved and suddenly all of the enthusiasm for it goes away.

I was supposed to start working for a small company as a recruiter but was told I wasn’t a “right fit” after 3 days. I did the normal hours but didn’t stay late. I was even told one day I could leave at 4:45 so I just got the impression it was okay to leave around that time. I was not told how long to stay and how late to stay either. It was actually supposed to be a hybrid role and I made it clear in the interview I preferred to be remote and they said that was fine but they switched up on me and said they wanted me in the office for a least two weeks to get acclimated to the company. I was very upset about this but I was willing to keep an open mind so I went in the office the next two days.…
