Antiwork

I use to work for a food truck (I know). The owner was a real creep. He only hired women and only dudes who would go along with him. One girl was groped while at work by one of the only male employee and when he was told about it he acted upset but did nothing and kept scheduling the two people involved together. Making jokes about the incident. He’d get drunk and high at work and invite all the young girls to do it with him. He’d make sketchy comments. Extremely rude comments. Degrade women. Serve shitty food (nasty shit like there’s a fly in the dough, something fell on the floor, old product that’s been sitting out, somehow passed inspections although nothing was kept cold as it should) we would work 14 hrs in the summer without ac and in a truck with 2 ovens and other “warm”…

I’ve worked at Wendy’s as a crew member for the past several years. After years of disrespect from management I finally gained the confidence last night to walk out in the middle of the dinner rush I feel amazing. No one even called me to chase me down. Do you think they fired me or do they consider it quitting?

So it's 3 AM right now, and I can't sleep because I'm so sick I can hardly breathe (got a negative at home covid test earlier). I've been up all night having anxiety and trying to decide whether its worth it to force my way through the work day. Here's where you'll lose sympathy for me… I've only worked at this place for 2 months, and have already called out 3 times, most recently last week, and also asked my boss to reduce my hours from 40 a week to 24 (I have no motivation to earn more than it takes to keep myself alive). My reasons for calling out before were all depression related, however I just said I was “not feeling well” in my call out emails (boss didn't reply let alone ask for a doctors note), so I didn't lie, but I still feel extremely guilty for…

So we got an email March 1st that we would be returning to office May 1st even though 2 years of better performance and company made half a billion dollars last year we need “water cooler talk” that was the exact phrasing…my boss asked me what I thought the day after the email and I said I won’t be returning…we had 2 more meetings…said the same thing….so Friday comes and of course Monday is May…he calls me at 2PM and says “so have you thought more about returning to office” I said “yes I have I have through more about it and I feel even more strongly I won’t be returning” He says “so are you leaving then” I say “no I will be online Monday morning just like I have been for 26 months, the ball is in your court” He then goes on to mention he would really…

Looking for some different perspectives here. So, I'm an IT professional working as a store manager for an electronics repair company. I've been with my company for right at 2 years. There has been a lot of good from this job, and a lot of bad. In a nutshell though, I've reached a point that I'm absolutely miserable and hate the job. (To lead into this. Let me preface that initially this job started with a very close working relationship directly with the owners. Over time, that working relationship has become almost non-existant) I have been feeling the burnout for about a year now after one of the owners showed up, started accusing my staff and I of not working, being lazy, and began belittling us. He cussed out one of my staff, which quickly turned into “fuck yous” from both sides. I jumped in, very blatantly informed the owner…
