Antiwork

I just got a message from one of the shittiest, underpaying and overworking call center company im my country, telling me that I “applied” for a telemarketing position for them on InfoJobs. Just logged into my profile on the site, never applied for the company and never would, as it is know for lack of respect and living wages for their workers, mandatory overtime, shitty benefits and shitty supervisors/management. I'm questioning if this is even legal, althoug it probably is. I just find it funny how these call centers are so desperate to hire. It is well known that turnover rates for these kind of bussines are high, but (at least in my city) I can see a rising movement of people complaining about/actually quitting these kinds of company. (sorry for possible errors, english is not my native languange)

The Indeed post says only this: Kennel attendant / veterinary assistant: “Help in kennel taking care of dogs and helping doctors, and all other duties assigned by managers and doctor's” (Yes, doctor's, not doctors) Working at this small hospital in this position was HELL. I went to the emergency room for a panic attack for the first time in my life after a shift. I was so demoralized working here that I have avoided thinking or talking about it until now when I realize, maybe getting this off my chest here will help me heal and move on. Here is what happened to me, an unwitting young woman who applied to be a kennel technician: • Red flag #1: I was invited to interview after applying online. When I arrived, they had me fill out a completely new application on paper, having only heard of me for the first time…

If they are an at-will employer, I will be an at-will employee. Also idc if it means they won't be a good reference, I lie on my resume anyways and I've never been caught.

I was just told during an interview that I would not be moving on in the interview process because there was feedback on my end via Microsoft Teams and it was too distracting. Maybe call my cell phone instead then!? 🥴

I applied to McDonald’s earlier, because money’s tight. On the application they asked me these two questions that seemed so pointless to me: “How much fun are you?” “Are you competitive?” Why the fuck do you need to know? I’m here to make burgers and leave, not be a cheerleader. Piss off. I have no problems lying to megacorps.

I’m planning on calling in tomorrow (and possibly the following day) because I’m so burnt out and on the verge of rage quitting everyday. I’m the only tech in my office, so if I called in, it would be a disaster for my boss and the rest of the office. They’d have to reschedule a bunch of patients and assign my trainee to another office location. Taking PTO in advance is already a struggle because the other sister offices are understaffed. I feel guilty just thinking about it but I need relief so badly. Have you been in this situation and just said f**k it?

Just had a 1:1 with my direct lead. I was given a 3% yearly raise, despite living in a high COL area. And I was given a yearly bonus just over $1k. It is better than most people get and I feel blessed to get anything. But I work for a Fortune 50 company that pulled 3/4 of a billion dollars last year, and used a lot of money to do stock buy backs. Also, the CEO and most of the board got bonuses of more than a million. If it wasn’t for the fact that the company is 50k+ people big, I’d want to work toward unionising.
