Antiwork

Firstly I agree minimum wages do not provide a minimum standard of living, but at the same time a part of me finds it hard to support larger minimum wage increase requests. I know people are struggling, I am struggling too, so I can't imagine the struggle for those on the bare minimum but we all started somewhere. For example with a BA and large student loans I earn $19 p.h and have been in the industry for over 5 years. A minimum wage increase to $15 would mean no wage increase to myself despite large amounts of student debt and years of experience. Is it jealousy, a lack of empathy, my inability to forecast future job demand, inability to let go of the wasted years studying and accruing debt or a combination of the above that makes it hard to support these increases? Anyone else here feel the same?…

Company I have been employed with since December does work in other states and they do not have dot numbers on their trucks and trailers. Also they have 1 guy working for them that drives intoxicated almost every day. I'm done with trying to get the company to do the right things and am leaving . What are my options ?

So I've been in my job for a while now, Not too long after I began the job I began getting very very stressed out with it. It is a work from home job and lately it hasn't been worth the stress and anxiety it's been causing me. I have learning disabilities and it makes things so much harder. I asked for a leave to get myself together bc I was so out of it so they placed me on a medical leave so I can take care of things. I am still on this leave but I'm due to go back very soon. My partner and I have been planning for a very long time to buy a van and travel. That opportunity is finally coming to light and we are going to be doing that within the next few weeks. So with that being said I don't want…

Yesterday or the day before, a user posted screenshots about a manager firing someone for calling out because their son was on life support. Corporate number was called and they claimed this happened years ago yadda yadda. Was hoping to get more clarity

I love my job but the managers could not give less of a shit about us casual employees. They will guilt-trip us into working ungodly hours and berate us for asking for days off. Tomorrow I will have worked 13 days in a row. One shift was only about 4 hours, another two were about 6 hours and the rest were 10 hours. Tomorrow I am going to tell them that I’m having three entire days off in a row and if they get mad they can absolutely get f*cked. Wish me luck!

So I could spend the next 8 hours sitting around doing nothing.

It seems like every other post on here is so much hate on managers when really i hate my life being one. I feel like alot of times its a “shoot the messenger” type situation. Im a executive chef at a restaurant. I am not the owner. And i feel like i am an okay boss, i havent had anyone quit on me atleast in the lst 1.5 years of being employed at this restaurant. But addressing callouts, and understaffing… i pay $20/hr to cooks + tips. I dont have more in my budget to pay more. Last WEEK i clocked 81 hours. I had 3 callouts (2 from one employee 1 feom another due to sickness) so i worked 4am-12am midnight multiple days. I miss my dog, and my family =/ I realize i make salary and an okay living at 60k/year but shit still sucks at the top…
