Antiwork

Because Wells Fargo has been mismanaged for the last two years, forced all employees to return to the office, cut major hub locations, ceased outside hiring, and flat out lied about giving managers the market midpoint raise they deserved, employees have decided to unionize in order to gain better working conditions. All while Wells Fargo profited 17 billion in the 1st quarter 2022.

I'm officially quitting Amazon. Fuck that place. Last few months, I've been applying to everything and everywhere hoping for something to stick. Had some interviews, that went no where, and had waaaaay too many rejection emails; however I didn't stop applying and hoping!! I finally had 1 job stick, did 3 interviews, and even got offered a position that is much higher then what I initially applied for! Best of all it's a remote position, and much higher pay then what I currently make at Amazon. I am extremely happy, and it's cause of you my fellow anti workers that I even had the guts to just go for it and make a change. Thank you. Now say it with me! FUCK AMAZON!

So I work in tech and have been remote since the very beginning of the world wide thing. I was only in the office for about 3 months before we went remote. I’m not a bad employee but I also didn’t go above and beyond with my work. I did was needed to be done and only took on extra tasks if I was asked to. I like working from home, especially since I can get an extra hour of sleep every morning and I can cook all my meals at home. I have time to workout and dabble in my hobbies. My productivity is great as is everyone else’s in the company. Anyways today my boss sent out a mass email saying we are returning to the office full time starting next week. I know most people are unhappy about this but management doesn’t care. So I responded to…

I am leaving my company to try out a new one. One that is paying me considerably more, traveling considerably less and having more kore diversely. Only hangup is they are starting me out at 25 hours versus the 40-45 I usually work. I did the math, I’ll be getting paid about exactly the same amount. My parents are furious that I am working less but making more. They think I am being lazy and immature. My father just said “some of us work jobs we hate for pay that sucks to give you the life we do, maybe you should follow our example.” That is so ridiculous. Keep working a shitty job for shitty pay because its the right thing to do? No thanks.

People aren't working because many jobs just aren't worth the time and effort. However, inflation will just make people poorer and more desperate. Pretty soon many won't be able to afford to quit or pass up that shitty fast food/retail job. Even if you already work full time, you might need a second job. Your money just won't go as far. Sure inflation will hurt the elite on some level, but they are probably diversified enough and a tight labor market is what they really can't stand. The debt slaves are getting uppity.

Hi, first time posting here and long term follower. My work environment is very toxic since I started the new job almost one year ago. So at the beginning of January I was out for two weeks due to covid and when I came back I started having panic attacks when previously I didn't have them since college. They've gotten more progressive and prominent in the recent months (with the new job) to a point that I have to leave work (I work rotating shifts 1,2,3). I've only told about it to my superiors ( due to the severity of my job) and today I was told by a very close coworker of mine that most of the other coworkers and supervisors were mocking me for leaving work due to my panic attacks. They are starting to spread rumors of things that aren't true and I don't know what to…

I'm in management at a big box store in the US (so I'm using a throwaway account). I want to help the staff get paid better (we make shit money), become class-conscious, unionize, start shit, etc. but I can't get fired. I have to have this job to survive. I also don't want to be despised by people I work with if I can help it. The company is a Fortune 1000, big-ass corporation who fights any union drives to the death. What would you do?

Just something that I was wondering about. A few jobs that I had was 40 hours, but included in that 40 hours was lunch. So I was actually on the clock for 37.5 hours or I didn't have to clock out for lunch. In my current job, I'm at the work site for 9 total hours because it includes my 8 hours a day and an 1-hour break. I was just thinking about it when considering how much time I spend at work. I stayed after work to finish a project since I could work uninterrupted. I wanted to stay because I thought I was making time up, since I left early last week. There was some misunderstanding and I couldn't make up those hours any longer. Even though our pay period is 2 weeks long, I could only make up time during the same week. My manager asked me…
