Antiwork

I wrote most of it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/t2nvwp/it_seems_that_i_did_them_more_than_damage_than/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share Anyway, long story short, I quit this job about two months ago. Since then, they keep posting job ads but without success. One guy started working, he worked for 2-3 days and never returned. A week ago, I got a call from my boss. Even though I didn't heard from him since I quit. He started asking me if I found a new job, why don't I return to them etc. I said no. Just this morning, I got another call from company. Basically, they are offering one salary bonus, they are willing to pay all this time I was out of work and they are offering a raise of about 20%, maybe even more. If I look at this offer, just from money perspective, it's pretty good. But when I think about working in shifts, bad boss etc. I don't know.

Need a new job that’s full time. I’m not a college graduate, I don’t want to spend 5 days a week, plus mandatory overtime. I’m 22, I want a life. So thanks to getting shit on by every boss I’ve had for being a good worker, I’m just gonna forever be broke. It’s ridiculous how I have no experience for anything that pays more than $14, but there’s no entry level positions, even for a warehouse job. If it’s entry level, it’s 5 days plus mandatory overtime. Although half the time, they don’t even respond to applications.

I've worked at a place for a long time. It has pros and cons but it's not work that I really care about. I get minimal raises every year but it never feels consistent with all the work I do and inflation. I've applied at other places over the years but I either don't get an offer or I do but it's not worth the change. Mental health shit makes everything harder but some days I just don't know what to do anymore. I feel like the longer I stay the harder it is to leave. Like my brain is just wired to keep working and fulfilling my obligations. I do volunteer stuff and honestly that's what I want to do all the time. This corporatist/capitalist shit just does nothing for me. Is there any hope for me?

Long story, so apologies in advance. To my fellow ADHD/ADD people and those with no attention spans in general. I wanted to share this story because I’m only just starting to come to terms with what happened in this situation through therapy, it happened in 2020 just a few months before the pandemic kicked into high gear. I lurk frequently and comment occasionally, a common sentiment here is to go where the money is. This was always my mentality until I had this experience. I left a full time job with a company that was pretty amazing to work for but the salary was less than I was used too,to take a contract offer with a government agency. I started January 2021, the offer was for 3 months initially with possibilities of extensions. I accepted it based on the fact that I am capable and had confidence I would get…

I got a new job 2 months ago. It’s for a small consulting firm (37 employees). I’m remote, but they ask everyone who lives in the area to come to the office for a Monday morning in-person meeting. Turns out the owners of the company are extremely religious. I’ve found out about 13 people who work in the office are related, and from what I can tell almost everyone in the office is also very religious. So far only 2 of the meetings out of the 10 I’ve attended so far have been “work” related. The other have been bible lessons or him just preaching about religious stuff. I’m not religious, but grew up in a super religious home. I hate these meetings and want to push back on being required to attend, but I’m afraid I’ll be at a disadvantage somehow if they know I’m not one of them.…

I (19f) was scheduled for a 5 hour 15 minute shift at my low level retail job. After 5 hours, we are required to take a lunch. Manager asked me if I wanted to extend to 8 (full day) so then I could “have a reason to take a break.” I declined because I don’t change my schedule day of and don’t work full days due to chronic pain. I’m now losing 20 minutes of pay so they don’t have to give me a lunch break. I know it’s not a lot and I’m not terribly upset about it, but I thought y’all would enjoy this. Why would they schedule like this?

I hate the idea of working 365. So much so I've been working a difficult job for years, just to have seasonal layoff. Older I get though the more I feel is expected of me…the opposite of what I want, to the point where I intentionally gimp myself and potential raises/promotions because I'm a “lazy” when in reality I'm sick of spending my existence working. Currently avoiding my phone because it's almost time to go back to work.
