Antiwork

I'm writing this as I get ready to go into my factory job of 3 and a half years. It's not a good environment to say the least, it's beyond toxic. Today I'll be attending the third funeral of a close friend in 5 months. This one prick at my factory came in 7 beers deep and tried starting shit with me as soon as I walked in yesterday morning, and because I wouldn't take his shit decided to be loud as possible and humiliate me in front of my coworkers, David, if you see this, I hope you know I've lost all empathy for you as a person, you could get sold into human trafficking and it would be impossible for me to even care about you. I've had to take shit for being bisexual for most of my life, but I'm not gonna take it at work. I…

Despite asking question about the company, it’s clients, the tech, the people, the day to day running of the company, the role in question and if the company does any charity work. I honestly feel these companies just want to see a fucking boner during the interview. Having to act like this just to get a job is the most frustrating thing I’ve ever encountered it just seems to be so humiliating and kinda socially engineering candidates to be a certain way. Does anyone else feel a sense of humiliation after experiences like this?

a To whom it may Concern, If my trainer chooses that he's going to spend his day, loading and unloading trucks, instead of telling me anything pertinent to do my job, I will follow direction accordingly. I'm very confused as to how I'm supposed to be trained when I am not allowed to see the tickets for the trucks I'm supposed to load. I have not had an opportunity to effect change, or take ownership of the warehouse while the pace of work is dictated to me, according to my supervisor's whims, so he can make it look like I'm not working. I've seen petty gamesmanship before, but never at such a low level. It's just sad, and uncomfortable to have to work with someone who clearly has zero understanding of the value of work. I do not understand why we cannot communicate any information necessary to fulfill goals, as…

I live in Australia (NSW) and I work at my university’s accessibility department. My work entails going to different classes and lectures and taking notes on behalf of students who face accessibility issues. Sometimes these classes are live, sometimes they are recorded. In my work roster at the start of this semester, I was rostered to work on 2 public holidays (18/04 & 25/04). I have worked in this position for the last year and a half and I have previously worked on Sundays (and successfully claimed higher pay for these days) without needing approval from my manager. The classes on these two dates were recorded (they are usually live every Monday morning) since it was a public holiday. I kept myself free on these public holidays so that I could do my work only to suddenly find out that I cannot claim the higher holiday rate for work done…

So I was fired yesterday because some accusation an employee made about me. I still had sick days left and I did not get a reason to me being fired from my boss. And he had also told every employee he wanted to fire me so I was told by them what was going to happen. What steps should I take?

Told my boss yesterday that one of the projects at my work wasn’t running correctly over the weekend because the stats were off by a huge margin. Boss told me they were waiting on more information from the client so it was totally fine… I then told them again today it was still an issue andI was getting concerned. Then they chased it and turns out an email has been sent to the department inbox (that was blank) on Friday with an untitled attachment. I’ve been here less than a month by the way. Now the client is unimpressed (obviously) and now I’m getting the blame for “missing” the information. I told them twice! I just can’t even… FML.
