Antiwork

We all have stories that are completely true but when we tell people about them, they think the story is sus or completely made up. So what’s a bad work experience of yours that falls into that category? For me, I worked for my uncle cleaning grocery stores. I had been working for him for a few years. He came in one night before so got in (I was running late due to a date going horribly wrong) and he called my mom, who was my supervisor and told her he wanted me fired. I didn’t learn about this until that weekend when me and my Dad took the weekend to go to Salt Lake City and my Dad was the one who informed me I was fired. This was 5 days after my mom had been told to but didn’t, so I had been working oblivious to that. Hopefully…

I’ve been at this job for only 3 months and I’m already thinking about leaving due to poor time and staff management by the higher ups. I work as a cashier at a large international supermarket chain (think the place where the cashiers are fast). After closing, 2 members of staff are supposed to clean the tills and the floor near the tills while the other staff clean the rest of the supermarket floor and arrange shelves. Therefore I am scheduled until 9 even though we close at 7 to account for time cleaning, which takes around 2 hours. However, the way it always plays out is that management does not schedule enough staff so I have to stay on the till until the last customer leaves, which is always at around 8. After 8, I have to clean the tills and the floor entirely by myself while management dick…

I just wanted to have a nice discussion with whomever else has experienced the same issues I have… straight to the point Sometimes you can have an amazing job or a job that you at least enjoy for once & have some Co-workers that can completely Fûck up your entire enjoyment/attitude about the job. It’s happened to me a few times, I love a job; I feel like I finally found a job I can enjoy then BOOM. Some weird employees I so happen to work with at the same time of the day Make easy things very difficult. Can anyone help me figure out why there are people like this? Make the simple things utterly difficult for LEGIT no reason.

This only works if you have a week or two worth of vacation built up. Interview for and get the new job. Don't tell your old employer anything about leaving. Start a vacation that begins on your first day of your new job. Work the new job for a couple of weeks. Evaluate which job you like the best and quit one of them.

I have seen a lot of these posts lately. The ones with the tea bags in the elastic bands, cheesy bags full of candy bars and stupid ass poems about what's in the bag. If this is your company's attempt to retain your employment I don't know how any of you still have jobs. I would laugh in their face and throw their crappy stale leftover Halloween candy in their face. The tone of these little notes that they attached to these care packages is straight up patronizing. I have seen better puns on elementary School valentines. If some company I worked for was stupid enough to insult my intelligence and credibility by giving me something like that in the hopes that it would retain my employment as opposed to a raise I'm fairly confident I would probably commit arson. Some of these are so corny I almost can't believe…

Quick story from 2020. I was working with an organization and seemingly fulfilling all requirements. Reports were submitted on time and free of errors. Never heard a complaint, rather always got passing compliments. “The report looks good. Thanks” I had a good rapport with members, staff, and leadership Covid hits and membership takes a dive. After several months I start getting feedback from my boss, who was considerably younger than me, saying I’m taking too long to complete reports. I had 72 hours for each. She would assign them Monday morning and want them by COB on Wednesday. I pointed out that this was not 72 hours but rather 56 hours. Then she started marking up my reports with reviews and asking questions already answered in the report. Often times answered in the very next sentence. I worked a minimum of 80 hours a week on salary, usually 9AM to…
