Antiwork

Hello community. I was just wondering if anyone had tips on how to track hours and pay easily and quickly to compare against pay checks. Perhaps there’s some app I haven’t heard of? Thank you.

I applied to a company online, you know the drill – sent my resume, completed an application with some more information etc. About 5 minutes after that, I received two emails: The second was thanking me for applying The first was them telling me that they were very excited about my resume, I have great qualifications, I have been shortlisted and we will proceed with an interview (without giving specific day/time or asking me when it's convenient). But FIRST they want me to submit a video of myself saying hi, explaining my background and going in depth about my experiences, and explaining what makes this company different so that I want to work with them. Due to the tiny amount of time between my application and the emails that were sent, plus the fact that the thank you email was sent AFTERWARDS, I just realized that they send it automatically…

I mean like there's unions for lots of jobs why don't we create one massive union for all the unrepresented jobs. For all the Walmart, Amazon, target, Walgreens employees.

Like me, I had flu symptoms for a good week and up til yesterday I developed a stomach virus along with my baby who had to be taken to urgent care. So I've missed 3 days of work so far and because of policy, I may get a talk to or fired. My last job I had to be talked to because I took unplanned PTO 2-3 times in 2 months because something related…

The TCRC, (Teamsters Canada Rail Conference) which represents (in this case) around 3,500 Conductors and Locomotive Engineers is being locked out as of 0001 Sunday March 20th. The big issues are the company, CP Rail, want to take away our rest clauses, and the ability to book off sick, or unfit for work, as well as completely change our pension plan. This is something very detrimental to everyone employed with CP. We have had a pension cap and freeze in place for 1 years. While the company has made literal billions in profits, and the pension is funded at 145%. While the Canada Revenue Agency has given the company a hiatus on contributions because the plan is so over funded, CP wants to cut our pension and claim that it isn't sustainable for future and current employees. They want to have it so we are at work more than home.…
