Antiwork

I applied for a construction company, I've been doing construction most of my working life. My resume is well suited to the job and it's not very hard work, like at all. Anyway the interviewer started asking me the standard questions and then he asked how old I was (not legal here in Canada to do) and I told him (I'm in my late 30's). He said that he normally doesn't hire people that old but is willing to give me a shot. I accepted the job offer and will not be showing up on Monday because fuck that toxic shit.

Right now almost everyone I talk to doesn't seem to care about how working class people are struggling even if they're working class themselves. One of my co workers at work is so dismissive about working class issues even though he is working class. When I tried telling him that people shouldn't be forced back into the office because of gas prices being too high, his response was just go out and buy an EV. Which is such an ignorant thing too say, EV's cost an insane amount of money, have a shorter lifespan, have poor range plus long charge times. The only way its even feasible to own an EV is to own your own property so you can charge your car at home or rent a luxury apartment with EV charging. I don't even know how we're going to be able to make any progress towards fighting for…

So if you live along the east coast of Australia you know how bad the rain has been. At the school I teach at half the roads in are flooded and the school feels like its half underwater. Naturally the principal closed the school to all but essential staff and children who for whatever reason can't stay home. Teachers were allowed to stay home and teach their classes online like we did during lockdown. However my departments boss is a power tripping asshole. She insisted all of us come in because if she could make it so could we. She lives up a hill 5 minutes from the school. Some of us live on the otherside of flooded rivers. I decided that I wasn't going to risk the roads as my car isn't 4wd and is in no way designed to get through water. I got called with her screaming…

Just started work in Colorado January 2022, within 1 week tested positive for Covid after a co-worker came in sick, same week I started. Can i get paid for the 10 days i was required to quarantine even though I just started & hadn't accrued any sick time yet? Thanks for your help!

This happened 3 years ago. One of the reasons I stopped being friendly and stopped trusting people in the office. I work for a small digital marketing company and we recently started accepting interns in our company. This is a paid internship. I was assigned to handle two interns and help train them in web development team. One is a 22-year-old guy and the other a 24-year-old girl. I was only 22 back then but I was one of the pioneer employees and I was promoted in a short time to lead the web dev team. It was a little intimidating to train someone since I don't have much experience back then but I believe I did the best I could. I showed them how the work was done around the office. I made sure that they will get the necessary skills and experience for their future employment. I gave…

“You must return to the office” vs $5 (or more) per gallon gas. THIS is gonna get “interesting”.

I am finishing an MBA right now, 4 months to go. I cannot get an entry level role for anything at the moment. I have worked for 20 years to get to this point but cannot progress. I really feel like us poors should just know our place and stay in poor people roles. We are not welcome in even entry level good roles for the higher class. I cannot even get entry level roles with 10 years relevant experience. I see so many LinkedIn post posts with someone with no job experience getting roles I have applied for. It really feels like I am being to told to know my station in life and just do what I was born in to. There are many studies that show poor people that get into Ivy League schools do no better than us poors that go into lesser institutions. America is…

Thank God I have never accepted this and refused to go. “Trial” like wtf .. I'm sure a trial is a day or two which is a complete waste of time. I remember this woman wanted me to work in her shop as trial. I was given no information as to whether I'd be paid. Like bye go waste someone elses time. Lol
