Antiwork

Honestly, I dont know what to do, I didnt make enough to save outside of ONE thing at a time, my partner and I had been saving for a vacation, now I have to break it to her I need my half of what was saved to make rent, groceries and bills next month. 7 months of hard budgeting, quitting smoking and drinking to save, for nothing (health benefits aside) Can a company even do this? They put me BACK on probation a month ago due to a bad customer review, after about 8 months of employment, and then fired me a month after that and didn't give me a reason. I'm so pissed, and I'm so scared. I hate that this happened, it's going to tear apart my life. Sorry, just venting, I have noone else to listen. My partner gets off work in two hours and I have…

The next time your employer treats you like shit, punch them square in the nose, break the fucker like they want to break us,,, fuck it. That is all.

Hi, i work at a large transport planning consultancy in the UK. They’ve always been awful employers and mistreated me. This has not been good for my mental health (understatement of the year). I am still on probation but my 6 months ends on 7th May (so going into 7 months). My contract states my probation review has to be on the 6th month – but no penalty or anything described for going over. I have had multiple review meeting where they have twisted it to make me look bad. I have been to HR multiple times but they’ve done nothing. I have refuted and not signed any of the meeting minutes. They have compiled evidence against me, all of which I can refute. They shared this information with me today, ahead of the scheduled probationary meeting tomorrow. However, this meeting has now been rescheduled (and rebranded) for next week.…

I finally quit my job after 6 years under a toxic/narcissist boss who underpaid me and always made my financial struggles seem like they were my fault for being financially irresponsible. I honestly was forced to quit but that’s a story for another time. I gave 30 days notice so I could have time to find something else. I’ve decided I don’t want to continue working in the field I’ve been in for the past 6 years (Commercial Property Management) because, to be frank, I hate it. I have experience in other fields and skills and a lot of experience but I just don’t know what to do with myself. I want a job that’s going to pay the bills and leave a little extra so I can finally start saving money but everything I look at seems awful or pays about the same, if not less, then what I’m…

to convince an individual to do what you ask of them, one needs to offer a delayed reward, with value based on their performance in a given task. to convince a society, one just needs to offer an universal truth. before the advent of capitalism, one such universal truth was a deity of the society's choice. the society would converge on one deity, and anyone not in favor would be shunned. individuals who refused to be assimilated into the collective schizophrenia, would be throw away and would have no option to spread their views. thankfully, the internet and the guarantee of free speech coming from western human rights, allow us to stand up to the current era universal “truth” and speak out against it. what is proposed here will be seen as insane, since it goes against the delusions of the masses, but at least will be seen by enough…

TL;DR I’m a Californian with possible class action and PAGA claims against a multi-billion dollar company. I could be content to take 10k in small claims quick and easy and move on- but if I want to teach them a lesson and make a difference for thousands of coworkers, how do I find a firm that has the ability and the will to not just get a settlement, but make an example out of this giant abuser? Long version: It’s time for me to do something about my employer. Trying not to be dangerously specific, but I work for a VERY large company- revenue in the tens of billions, nearly a million employees. Their business model, simply put, is to contract at the lowest possible rate and minimize expenses at all costs, laws, safety, quality, and ESPECIALLY EMPLOYEES be damned. That means if we only have one employee on the…

Does anyone else suffer from the famous “9-to-5 Back?” My fucking back hurts so damn bad from sitting at desk for the past 7/8 years. Working in a cubical and/or at a desk is truly physically miserable… I've done it all: retail, warehouse, misc. office shit, IT, healthcare, etc. and never in my life have I been more exhausted and in pain than I am when I have a job that requires me to be at a desk. If I get into a car accident where another driver slams into the rear of my car, causing me back issues, I'll most likely get a nice payout and be able to see a chiropractor for free. Why when working for an employer doing a job that causes my back severe pain can I not hold them responsible? I hate that I do this to myself… I hate myself for bending over…

I (26F) am currently a server at an upscale Italian restaurant. My previous work experience was a jeweler, and I fixed and repaired jewelry there as well as sold it. A manager there had it out for me. My first month there I was nominated employee of the month, and they sent a news letter out along with my picture to all the employees. This manager came up to me and said “wow I don't know how you got there so fast, it took me 7 years.” I am a hard worker, and I used to take pride in my work. A few months later, after working hard and sending out letters to previous customers and potential new customers, and posting all over social media, trying to sell jewelry in a bad area of town, my manager and head jeweler pulled me in the office to speak to me. It…
