Antiwork

The rest of reddit I know will tell me like “oh ….it doesn't look good” yeah, I know. I don't think there's a single employer that's satisfied with a quitting notice period. Anyways, I'm looking to quit but I'm not comfortable to give notice. I feel like the two weeks thing is a myth and scare tactic like “it's rude to ask people how much they're paid”.

Work is already a struggle for me without the gossip. The season begun again this Monday. I had a conference and brief on Wednesday and when it was finished I cried all the way home in the car. I find speaking to my coworkers all day very emotionally draining and overwhelming. It felt strange that I was crying because I didn’t have a bad day, nobody was unkind. But I’ll find myself sitting with my coworkers, for example, at lunch, and suddenly I’ve just dissociated from the entire situation. I’ve suddenly realised that I’m not enjoying myself and then that’s where the worry comes in. I start wondering if anything I said before this moment was anything to cause offence, or if it makes me appear strange to my coworkers. I go to work dreading it everyday. My brain has almost programmed itself to always expect the worst to happen.…

Changing the economic dynamic in individual countries is hard enough on its own. Yet the toughest fight that may prove insurmountable, is to deconstruct the system that keeps some countries in poverty. While the richest corporations and CEO's rake in billions. Humanity has taken a backseat to the elites and the fact that the majority of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck demonstrates that regardless of how affluent your nation is. Your life and well being are superfluous to the people who really run the show. Workers are only valued to the extent that their labor is what drives profit. This isn't simply an American problem. Climate change is on a runaway train and the conductors of this ever growing problem don't give a fuck. When will it end? Our world will never be perfect but it could be much better than it is right now. If nothing changes then…

I have a relatively simple question about clocking in based on what the law says in my home state of South Carolina. Some context to help answer my question: I work on a food truck, private property that I don't own. I don't drive it, but once I step on the truck, I'm there to do my job. It drives to and from events; on the way there and back, I sit on the side seat. My boss just told me that I'm not to clock in on the drive and that I'm only to clock in at the event, even though I ride in a private vehicle that I have no control over. My question is, when does the law say I should be clocking in and out? If I drive separately to events, I wait to clock in until I get there and clock out as soon as…

Tomorrow is going to be my last day at the job I’m leaving. I have received a form to fill out for my exit interview. I’ve written a 4 page statement about all the problems I’ve had with this company over the past 2 years. Some of the reasons why I’m leaving are: Making less after 10 years with the company than my subordinates who were hired last year. Other salaried employees get their insurance premiums paid by the company, but I was never offered that. I was told by the owner last year that I would get an annual bonus calculated as a percentage of the profits from last year’s sales. They didn’t pay the bonus until the end of the first quarter and it was less than a third of what it should have been according to last year sales, but the owner told me he wasn’t obligated…
