Antiwork

I'm Spanish and I work as computer engineer, 3 years in the same job, last 2 working from home, but we have to return back to office in April. I have tried to negotiate keep on working from home, even asked for 2 days in the office and 3 at home, suggested to reduce or even quit my transport plus. Also I'm about to get a pay rise and I'm even thinking about refusing it in change to work from home… But they always say no to all my requests about that to date. I have started to learn ASP.NET Core because I'm a little old school and I need to learn if I want to apply for other works that let me work from home. This makes me spend all my time between working and learning, and I'm a little stressed, and return to office will be even worst…

Does anyone know some relatively easy entry level remote work that doesn’t require a degree? Easy aka able to get paid for full time but it requires 20 hours or less a week (roughly)? Or some entry level remote jobs that require a finance/business bachelors, ideally meeting the above “easy” goal, but it doesn’t have to! I’m unsure if either of these things even exist, which is why I am asking. Thank you! Edit: Or any positions that require some experience with the finance degree works too.

I reached out to my former boss in a pretty long email. I told her I hoped that her business was going well, that she had not been too affected by covid especially this past 6 months. I explained that I have been extremely sick and bedridden for the past six months and that I wasn't able to physically work right now, so I was looking towards doing graphic design work for an indigenous organisation. I asked if she would be my professional reference to apply to volunteer for this organisation, and she never responded. I texted around a week later checking in to see if shed gotten my email. Ghosted. I was really good at my job. I was thorough, I had a list of clients who specifically wanted me to clean their house, not my coworkers, who when I was off work due to my chronic pain would…

Well every weekday anyway, I'm at work…

I am currently working at an investment firm under the contractor title. I am getting a decent pay and still in training. However I saw that a company was hiring on zip recruiting for about the same description of my job. But for more pay and some better benefits. Turns out, ITS THE CURRENT JOB I AM WORKING FOR! So now that I know that one contractor company is paying me less and one will pay me more with better benefits. I pose this question to you Reddit. What do I say to my “employer” (under contractor title of course) since I am going to a different contracting company. This new job starts in April but I have been with the company since start of February. Do I let them know that I am changing contract companies? Or do I call them out for essentially not giving a shit about…

My roommate got fired for no real reason and I quit the next day because they fired him. We worked for a local company and had a meeting that we wouldn't be given raises to match inflation because “experts show that it would go back down” Slap in the face I was already looking at a new job because 11 hours is too long a shift for me. He however was one of the best workers at that company.

It felt great. I’m working at a startup as a contract worker. The plan is to be moved into a management position next month on salary, but this month has involved strategy planning and product design. Mostly brainstorming sessions. There was no talk of it being paid, but that it was prep for us to move forward next month. Obviously this is a red flag, but it’s also inherent to the risk I’m taking on a startup company. Anyway, today after some great contributions on my part, I went ahead and requested compensation for the time spent. They were more than happy to accommodate! They’ll also cover the past two weeks of time spent. There is no formal agreement I get moved up yet, so I’ll be transferring jobs if it doesn’t work out, but it feels good knowing that my time is being respected. Advocate for yourselves! Never work…
