Antiwork

So here i am, Waking up at 6am work from 7-4, arrive home at 5, clean the house, make food 8pm hits the clock and now i’m just here in bed watching tv about to do the same thing until friday, then saturday hits, wich i’m tired from the week I’m supposed to do chores and go out to do important stuff… but fuck that i’m to tired right? Well Sunday hits, what a nice day to go to the beach, a bar, or just out with my family… well no fuck that I work tomorrow and i don’t want to go tired tomorrow… well, that’s my life… for the next 45 years… i think it’s better to be dead.

If a company only posts schedules a few weeks in advance- and expects workers to be on the hook for any whim– Nights, days, mornings, ect…. This prevents people from going to school, taking care of elderly parents, and planning anything significant. This needs to be re-examine as humane. Basically trap people in poverty.

So I only know these things based on what my coworkers have told me and based on what I've experienced: 3 months ago my boss did performance reviews on everyone. We all make $15 per hr as geo lab techs in a company in Texas. Everyone got their reviews and said they got a 50 cent raise. Me (a woman) and the 2 other female lab techs were evaluated after all the other lab techs who happen to be men. We got 25 cent raises, and boss said to remind him in 3 months to get the other 25 cents. Based on this and the fact he barely talks to us women, I've concluded he really doesn't take us seriously. So that 3 months is up, but I'd like to ask for more than a quarter. I think I deserve at minimum $18 hourly for my work. This job requires…

Just remembered I'd seen it and probably others have to. Something about “Don't ask me for more break time or time off because” and it would add up to some ludicrous figure that employers only get like two hours a day or something from employees.

This is my first WFH job and I was wondering if this is the industry standard. Kinda annoys and bothers me that they track your activity in % per 10 minutes as well as take 3 screenshots at random intervals per 10 mins. I finish my work very fast and i cant do anything on my pc once Im done since they're monitoring EVERYTHING (even apps and websites I opened during my shift). If, however, this is not an industry standard. I'd walk away.
