Antiwork

I was looking for a job only for the summer. Nothing serious. I'm working as a barista here for 2 years now and I'm doing many other things apart from making coffee and it's very overwhelming for me. I don't enjoy it, because I know I can do better. I tried at least 3 times to quit and my boss continue coming up with “salutions” and explaining herself how she doesn't want me to leave etc. I started having that feeling when you are in a toxic relationship and you are being perfectly manipulated and it's so hard for me to stand for myself when from the other side someone doesn't want to accept your opinion and doesn't let you go. I need some advice and another point of view, have you ever been in such situation?

Worked as an IT specialist on an indoor project in our company. Spent all my mental strenghts to my work, fucked up and got fired. I don't care about that I should spent third of my life to do the work, but I want it to be more influent to other people lifes. Make them happier/easier to work/increase their standarts of living etc. Why I should spend all my qualifications to work on a bullshit job? As an IT specs we can make government systems, production planning systems, skill and education programs, production automation systems, energy saving techs, medical surgery/research systems and etc. Why I should make an another news share programs for a company, that do nothing to increase our quality of life? Do you think the same?

For context, where I work we have the normal day, evening, and night shifts; however, our job responsibilities are broken down and then assigned by letters A to F. A-C is dayshift, D-E is evening, and F is nightshift. I work the nightshift and on multiple occasions I've had to stay over to cover multiple call-ins, which means I'm alone to take on the responsibilities of 2-3 people at once. I don't mind helping out, but I don't feel as though I'm being payed adequately for not only stay over, but taking on new responsibilities that are otherwise not expected of me. Is there something I can do about this? I'm only being payed overtime for it, but I feel like I should be getting far more. All advice is welcome!

I should’ve posted this earlier but.. I planned on and typed of my 2 weeks resignation notice to be sent @ 3PM today but honestly I have a new job lined up who are willing to have me start sooner, and at my current job my boss is a napoleon complex having, rude and disrespectful man. I have -3 sick days so on my last check, they would take out money from my check paying them back … I called out Thursday and Friday due to a cold and I understand how terrible it looks to resign today, after 2 days call out, but I got offered the new job on Friday… And I’m not feeling great today, Planning on going to the docs later (at least I would have a doctors note) – so how bad would it be calling out 3 days in a row (which’ll make me…

Hello, I always feel constantly guilty about calling into work even when I have legit reasons. Today I had to call off bc my gf has been throwing up all night and can't look after our 1 year old daughter. I often fear that my boss and coworkers will get upset I'm bailing on them especially since it's a Monday, is this a pretty normal feeling? How do y'all do deal with this?

I'm interested if you think russian people is responsible for rising cost of living(gas, food, rent, etc prices)? Especially, I want to know your thoughts about ordinary people, not oligarchs, politicians.

Some retail chains and restaurant has gift card sold by third parties for discount, for example, you can find a lot of GC on ebay, some are people cashing out their unused gift card and in some cases, internal theft, and some cases, other kinds of theft. Other totally legit places like Sam's Club regularly have discounted gift card with limited availability for each customer. The state of the matter is, gift cards are sold commonly around or under 80% of their face value. Here is an idea. You get the cards at a discount, when the customer pays cash, you use the gift card to pay and keep the cash. I happened to know a gift card dealer and get them at a competitive price. PM for discussion. I want to talk to retail people about this idea, its limitations and actual practice, and the legal and moral side…

I turn 21 this year. I’ve been working ever since I was 16, and I’ve had around 5 different jobs since then, the longest being my current job, which I’ve been with about 15 months. There are many people here who have been working laboriously for many years. I want to hear stories from those who have only entered the workforce in the last decade. I myself am gonna be sharing some things that happened to me in the few years I have been in the workforce, ranging from mildly fucked up to really fucked up, things that I think are not supposed to happen to anyone at work, let alone someone who is just starting their life. I will note: others have it far worse than I did. I want to hear those stories of workers far too young to experience the pressures of this stupid ass system. Let…
