Antiwork

My work denied my 2 day PTO. Oh and of course my manager over explained why. It its to guilt me or he’s genuinely trying to explain? No idea but ill give him the benefit of the doubt sense hes nice- But anyways he told me try next week, and i will- dont get me wrong id rather the days PTO than call outs. But if they dont approve im not coming in anyways. I paid $30 for this event im goin to the mf event. Important side note, it might get me fired because my work has a 1min late policy. Aka if youre a minute late its an offence. (Well half of one) and for like a month i was regularly late 5 minutes. One time 15 because i just sat in my car for a bit. (Not like it effected my work quality) But if they fire…

Restaurant worker here. I've been working at this place for the past 2 years. Also, not I'm not English/American, so I'm sorry for any mistakes. Things are as follows Back in January our chef quit, over unpaid wages and lack of interest from the owners. Huge faux pas on their part, this man was kinda crazy but exceptionally good at his job. This brought in a huge turnover in the kitchen, which compromised quality for both food and service (lack of leadership in the kitchen means dishes don't come out in the proper order, and things like this). In the last few months my personal stress level has been getting worse, and on top of that my manager quit because of family issues, he gave two months notice in March. If that weren't enough my best coworker/friend quit for a better office job with better pay (I'm really happy for…

Back story, I have 10 days of sick leave (kind of, overtime can add more). I called in sick a couple months ago and was planning on sleeping all day. My boss called me maybe an hour later for help with a problem. I ended up working from home almost all day, stopping only to be literally sick and for an extended lunch/nap. I clocked in around 6 hours that day, pretty normal for the not-busy season. Last week, while reviewing Q1 hours, my boss tried to tell me I had used 3 sick days already that year. Turns out, even though I worked nearly the whole day, he was still trying to count that as a sick day. I tried to disagree with him, pointing out that he had me work anyway and hadn’t added any sick hours to that paycheck, but he’s still insisting it needs to go…

I worked at a machine shop and loved it, I would have loved to stay there if I could have. It was dirty work, I'd get cut and burned, but I really enjoyed working with my hands and getting out at 3pm. Ultimately I left to make nearly double the money with way more benefits.

This happened at my part time minimum wage job and I guess it’s my fault but I’m just really annoyed because I’ve worked there for over a year and I’m never on my phone. I just went on it really quick since it wasn’t busy and got caught at the wrong time.

For workers day, I feel like everybody should leave work en masse. It’s time for those cheapskate employers to show them that we are human and we deserve more.

The environment is toxic, cliquey and I am regularly overworked so it's not sustainable for me anymore. I've come to terms with me just needing to GTFO before I have a breakdown. I'm so burnt out and have no passion for the role anymore. The job's at a school and less messy if I quit at the end of the academic year which is 3 months away. What can I do in the meantime to keep hanging in there? I was thinking to meditate daily and save as much as possible. But I currently spend a huge chunk of my time outside of work consumed by the role. I drafted my resignation letter and it was so liberating. It's the only things that's given me hope at the minute as at least I know there's an end to a terrible experience.
