Antiwork

I was interviewing for two separate companies: Company A which had me go on a series of 8 interviews ranging from the HR recruiter all the way up to the President. I knew I had this job in the bag- nonetheless they continued the process, and flew me out to their HQ to see what I would be signing up for. This was during the time when flights were getting cancelled because they couldn’t find staff to support them, so my visit got postponed a week. In that week time I had a interview with company B. A quick 10 minute phone screen from the recruiter followed by a interview with the VP. After my trip to company A’s HQ I returned and literally on the same day I received a job offer from both company A AND company B-which turned into a bidding war. Ultimately, I went with company…

I work at a fast-casual Mexican restaurant chain (not that one) and I would truly rather stick forks in my eyes than come back for another shift. I get paid $15/hour to do the work of 3 people and get yelled at about fucking queso. The boss is the only one here making over $16/hour and he doesn't come in half the time, he just pops in every morning, complains about all the work he does, and fucks off. He gets paid full days for that. My coworkers have casually been homophobic and transphobic around me. I'm trans. I don't love that. The very implication of labor rights is enough to get ostracized. Everyone here is furious about the low pay and the heating/cooling that doesn't work and all our broken equipment, but if you even joke about doing shit about it you get looked at like you grew another…

I've been looking for work through indeed, and so often I'll get emails from employers asking me to fill out the exact same f***ing information on their trash buggy site. All I can think is that they must be selling it. If they get it from indeed there's probably a legal issue, but once you give it “voluntarily” then they can do with it what they want

First of all, this was last month. I applied to this job in January, got called into an interview in February, got called for a drug test in March, and finally got the job a week before April. After waiting for such a long time and denying other job opportunities as I was convinced this would be a good experience, I decided I’d stick it out whatever the case. Well first off I got super bad vibes during orientation because all the bosses did was talk shor about how unsanitary their employees were, how they had to fire a guy for taking a picture on the manufacturing floor, gave us a second grade level explanation of germs, etc etc. so fast forward the next day I show up to the job, I’m taken to the manufacturing floor (this place made ice cream) and was immediately greeted by about five meth…

I fell off the stairs at the day care and was mocked for siting down for a while, then I wasn't allowed to go home for the day despite the fact that I was clenching my teeth to stand up, let alone walk, and like, this job is about taking care of little kids, you have to run around all the time. I had 2nd degree sprains, both of my feet. Took a taxi that day back home and the taxi driver took advantage of me, overcharged me and I didn't have more money with me at the time so I had to stop further away from home and had to walk. There were many stairs along the way, too. Was a nightmare.

I’ve worked for my current company for nearly 7 months and was told I was going to get a $2500 bonus at 6 months and it’s actually on the job listing I applied for. I have not received it, and when I bring it up I get a vague response. Can anything be done about this?
