Antiwork

Today I got to work and tried using my employee number as I forgot my wallet with my card in it my foreman was very understanding he just had me sign a paper saying the time I came in and left and the lunch punches but I noticed at the bottom if I forgot a second time to use my card I would be charged 10$ is this legal?

If we're going to do something, we need to do it now. Companies are only getting richer, and they don't show any signs of stopping. I feel like our best bet in having any say is refusing to come back to the offices, due to how badly these companies need them. We have leverage, let's use it. Because otherwise there's no way they'll come to the negotiating table.

I don't mean it in any disrespectful or mocking way, genuinely trying to understand the perspective. I grew up in a working class immigrant family and my parents slave so hard just to survive. To me, work has always been a business transaction since I can remember (e.g. I slave my hours away in exchange for foods in my fridge and a roof over my top). Now I work at a somewhat comfortable 9-5 corporate job and I'm shocked to see the cultural difference. A lot of boomers at my work actually view work as part of their core identity. They stay around and hang out with coworkers (whom they aren't even that close to) even when they're free to go home. They talk about work all day and pride themselves on their work products. They are obsessed with comparing themselves on work-related stuff and brag about what their kids…

I envy all of you who can work from home. I really do. The gods only know how bad I wish I could stay in my apartment to do my job. Pet my cat when I want and shit in my own toilet. That being said, why give it up because someone says so? What if every one of you says “We're not going back” and just stays? I don't imagine a company would be willing to fire a large portion of their staff over something like that but also maybe I'm completely wrong. We've seen them so dumber things. Perhaps I'm oversimplifying but I really think you all have the power to just say “Nah, I wanna stay here where I'm not killing myself for you”.

I currently work over 40 hours a week to provide for me and my family. A few years back I had emergency surgery and didn't have insurance at the time. It was around 26,000 dollars. I didn't have the money to pay… Fast forward a couple of years and i have a new job in Denver. I work a lot but I like what I do for the most part. Im loving my life without the old stresses I used to have…until I see that the government in Kentucky took my last payroll check (literally last Friday)of almost 2000 dollars. I'm wiped out. I just closed my account. You CAN NEVER GET AHEAD…YOU CAN NEVER OUTRUN THE BLOODSUCKING LAWYERS…AND MEDICAL WILL RUIN YOU. Insurance companies really don't want to pay anyway even if you have them at a job. Welcome to America. Thanks go out to Saint Elizabeth hospital for…

Its because they want to controll there wage slaves and so the exceutives dont feel like they are sitting in an empty office

Went to McDonald's to pick up a snack on my ride to a friends house Sunday morning. This was the scene: Two lane drive thru both full out to street (approximately 18 vehicles each lane) so I decided to walk inside. I wish I had brought my phone in to take this nightmare picture. 14 people in the lobby area waiting for their order and 4 people (including me) waiting to place an order. Amongst the hustle we can hear the employees talking about why they have not hired anyone else and someone in the back spoke up.”Because we are the only ones dumb enough to work for minimum wage”. At that point I decided I had enough and started to turn and walk out. The very nice young girl behind the counter called me and asked if i was already helped since i was next in line. I simply…
