Antiwork

Hi all. Long-time lurker, first-time callerwriter. I've been extremely frustrated with my job since around November of last year. As some background, I was part of a small start-up doing something that nobody else in the world does. We were acquired last year by a larger company who wanted a monopoly on our products to keep us from servicing their competitors. I don't want to get more specific than that, because I'm not using a throwaway for this. Last year, I was promised a salaried supervisory position by the end of the year. Instead, that position was filled by an internal transfer who knew nothing about our company. He spent the first month and a half in an office on Facebook, with the door shut. I begged his boss to do something about it for weeks to no avail. This totally shattered my rose-colored glasses. Since then, I've taken a…

I work for a company who operates a service for another company in UK. I'll call them LTF. LTF give my company a fixed sum per year to operate the service with no risk to my company. My company can only get bonuses or nothing extra if KPIs aren't' met. It's pretty much a no risk operation. All costs are met by LTF, anything left over is for my company to keep as a bonus. Every year so far, our yearly raises have been based on February RPI (Retail Price Index). Agreed with unions to be February RPI+ or 2% whichever is greater. This year though, they've gone off the rails and despite February RPI being 8.2%, they're only offering us 5%, 1% of which is just a yearly increase to offset rising energy costs, which is not in any way pensionable. Obviously our unions and members aren't happy with…

If you took all shareholder and upper level management compensation, how much money is available? In addition how many hours of labor worth of catering do shareholders and management take in personally?

Hi folks! I recently started working full-time straight out of college. I’ve been interning and freelancing these past two years and the work I am in right now is completely different from the direction I’d like to take my career in. If I have to be honest, I don’t like my job at all and I dread waking up every morning which is only making me miserable. However, it’s not even been a month since I joined. I’m afraid my employer is going to be mad at me and I’m not sure how to lead the conversation. I’m also certainly confused if quitting in month is very early. Any advice y’all can provide is appreciated. I believe I need a break for a few months and recuperate as well.

hey all i’ve got a bullshit job: screenshoting tweets and instagram posts to paste all of them in a ppt. I wonder if there’s any way to automate/optmise the process of screenshoting each post?

I am applying for a part time summer gig since I already work full time and man almost every single one of these jobs has a ridiculous 15-20 minute assessment test. For reference, I’m looking at pet care gigs since that’s what I used to do and enjoy.

I work in a warehouse making about 18 dollars an hour. I love my job and I work with some amazing folks that I get along very well with. It’s the most money I have ever made in my life and even with that and door dashing every day after work, I am still falling behind every month. I have a car loan to pay off and I have a massive credit card bill that I accrued when I didn’t have a car and had to use Lyft to get around. Between all that, living the life of a married man and other general mishaps(and luxuries I won’t cap) I’m feeling just a little burnt out recently. I’m not here to make some grand statement about the condition of modern employment nor do I have a solution to it. I simply am feeling really tired of struggling month to month.…

That’s it. The second workers in this country demonstrate power and organization and gain some small amount of wage growth….the FED steps in and destroys the economy with high interest rates. This drives up prices and fleeces us regular people of any accumulated savings. The recession to come will eliminate jobs and return power to the employers. This is not an accident. Prices will never return to pre-inflation levels. They will be not drop to a level where common people can barely afford to live. When we hit the bottom, they will begin printing money again and lending it to the big companies that survived the downturn. This pending will yet again allow the powerful and connected to buy more assets, to control more markets, to accumulate more wealth. Every recession we have in this modern economy is caused by the ultra wealthy crushing the populace intentionally by increasing interest…
