Antiwork

I work 45 hrs a week (including unpaid 1-hour lunch breaks) and today I skipped work due to headache and lightheadedness. My stomach issues were also back. Psychologically, I also really did not wanna work today. I have social anxiety and I've reached my limit. I just stayed at home and watched Youtube videos and listened to soothing music instead. Took a fat nap too. Anyway, all the while I was trying to ignore the huge raincloud of guilt hovering above me. I felt like if I could have just clocked in after lunch so I couldve at least gotten a half day's worth of work done. But I also felt so cozy in my room, just felt so safe. So I just did not get up from bed. Does anyone relate? To be honest I've come to accept that tihs is going to be my life until I'm 60…

I work in a restaurant and yesterday we had a power cut, main supply down for about 5 hours. Obviously we were forced to close and team on shift did their best clean up what they could but with no power there's only so much you can do; no lighting, no dishwasher etc. So team on shift are sat waiting for power to come back on or management to call it a day and send them home. Whilst waiting we're told we won't get paid for just sitting here, so either accept on extended break (but not allowed to leave in case power comes back on and need to reset restaurant), or find jobs to do that are safe like sweeping outside or picking up trash. Under normal circumstances I'd say fair enough need to work to earn but since power cut is no-ones fault this just felt like a…

Give a rich person 100k and they won't care because they're rich and their parents already gave them 27 million in trust at 18 and paid for a private education that basically was sitting them in a room with 300 other millionaires who will fail 400 times between them and then partner up to buy a startup formed by a tech savant. They will become the board of governors for the new company and make a billion dollars for themselves by figuring out how to avoid taxes and gouge the consumers as much as possible. The leading tech pioneers will earn pennies and the actual workers who actually do all the fucking work will make next to nothing. The rich people, while playing golf with their millionaire classmates, will learn insider information and make a few more million on investments. Then they will make a few more deals with other…

The ONLY things my keys opened were closets for cleaning supplies and paper towel dispensers. One of my shifts I broke down looking frantically for 4 hours because I thought I lost the keys. I thought I could be arrested. Then, I realized how stupid that was and what a terrible boss I had. I didn’t come back after March 28th 2020 when COVID became a thing. I still got the keys. I did not wanna pay the gas money to bring them back. It’s like 2022 now. I trashed them today. SORRY BOSS 🤷‍️ intimidation over $2-3 keys I just can’t respect

Hi everyone. I'm UK based and work in a small but very busy family run store. We have 9 members of staff to keep the store running and the three family members oversee everything. We have a few members of staff in particular who won't cover when people are on holiday, and this causes problems for the rest of the team who then regularly have to work 6 or 7 days in a row. My own personal record is 23 days. This has obviously annoyed the owner who, instead of dealing with those two individuals seperately, has told us that we are all now responsible for getting cover for our holidays, and if we can't do that, we don't get a holiday. The store is really successful and most of us come in early and leave sometimes 30 minutes late for no extra pay. The boss said to another member…

So currently I work in a call center as a helpdesk agent. It's essentially a call center where I have to answer calls, chat requests, emails. I have to answer calls within 30 seconds and chat requests within 6 sec. In a given day I take up to 50 calls or even more and 30 chat requests. The workload is fucking insane. The salary is really good for my country but not really good enough to justify this insane workload. So I have decided to quit and concentrate on getting my degree in psychology to start making real money (as a pharma rep). But I won't quit the traditional way. I'll make them fire me. I'll keep ignoring my superiors' commands to work faster and more. I'm already working hard enough ffs. And they still want more LOL. Literally every day I work this job I make 30-40 bucks if…
