Antiwork

I'm not a teacher, but rather “support staff” for a small charter school which is truly an awful place to work at. Half of the teaching staff has quit so far this year, and maybe only a third of those positions have been refilled. I'm getting ready to leave too. I'm looking for types of businesses that are hiring teachers and educators alike. I know teachers all over the country are leaving en masse to different industries, so I'm just wanting to get insight as to where everyone is going?

I work at a hotel where there is no HR besides the owners themselves. Backstory, a raise was given put a couple months ago (literally about 3-4 months ago) due to a government contract that was reserving the local hotel for quite a while. The raise was not put in place by said organization, but rather through the owners themselves. Currently the organization did not renew their contract with the hotel, and about 22 days later the owners have taken it upon themselves to cut pay rates (every employee has a different cut in their pay) The employees here are only a few as we are a 200 rm hotel that is currently only employed by about 11-13 employees and only about 8 are full-time. This seems extremely unjust as we are already understaffed. Can anything be done, with Texas labor laws? I'm looking into the issue but I would…

Hi! So I currently live in CA, and there’s a proposition to have 4 working days instead of the 5. Wouldn’t you need to increase the minimum wage considering people would be getting less hours? Would you need to increase the hours being worked within the day? How would any of that work? I’m confused and I also wanna hear you guys thoughts as I want to hear others perspective considering I heard this about two weeks ago and I can’t stop thinking about how this is an… idea

I know these places want us to look presentable and curly hair can be considered unpresentable for some reason, and I also wear ponytails when I work and see other curly haired people do so, but it’s such a toxic thing I think because that’s your natural hair and ponytails every day are so bad for you. What do you all think?

I started a new job 90 days ago. I had my 90 day review and my supervisor said glowing things. It didn’t make sense to me; I felt like we were both playing a bullshit game. Do supervisors write positive reviews just to make themselves look/feel good? Or is my imposter syndrome getting me? This job has a low workload, but it’s hard and really technical when there is work. I don’t have a technical background and haven’t been learning as fast as I’d think he’d expect. I’m not working as much to get up to speed as I would have done in the past either, because I’m too tired. I’m also making lots of mistakes, some of them basic, and I know he notices. I keep feeling like I should quit, and that he’s probably trying to figure out how to fire me but is saying positive things to…

I worked at a pitiful job that offered no promotional opportunities, paid crap, toxic work environment, had horrible hours, ruined my passion and self esteem. It was my first job out of college, It so dramatically affected my life I would have been better off being homeless. I tried to leave soon after I started but could not get another employer to respond after taking the position at this toxic place. After too many years I found the only way to escape them was to leave the company without a fallback. I wasted years of my life at this job and like any bad relationship I want it to be in the past. I can not use them as a reference and I don't even want to be associated with the company any longer. So I have hibernated my LinkedIn profile and do not plan on using it in the…

Seriously. The stories are maddening and I know petty tyrants exist raised on a lead-based media diet filled with anti-worker extremely anti-evidence ideas about how life and systems and people work. Real life doesn't have to exaggerated. But if I get a squig of doubt some of these stories/screengrabs/pictures are real I harsh bail. How does this subreddit verify? What do you look for to establish credibility?
