Antiwork

Over the years, I've seen a variety of shitty behavior from upper-level management personnel. I'll list a few. When I was younger, I was friends with most of the employees at a particular chain restaurant (that is totally not related to a certain red fruit with a bee on the end). New girl is hired. She's kind of different, but what do you expect when you only pay $2.50 an hour. Corporate manager visits one day, sees new girl. Gets upset because new girl wrinkled her nose when walking by a stinky customer. Orders her to be immediately drug tested. New girl was 420 afficionado. Got fired. Note: everyone smoked, including corporate. Can only guess the corporate bitch wanted the girl to have it on her record that she was terminated for drug use. Same restaurant chain – corporate executed an across the board pay cut for all restaurant level…

I’m a neurotic type, in the M. Scott Peck sense of I blame myself for everything that goes wrong. I’ve been off work with a knee issue since January and I can’t even do much at home to distract myself. That leaves a lot of reading and a lot of thinking time. In that time, I’ve realized I have ADHD and that all these years of struggling to keep finances in order, my house clean and my life organized are not because I’m a piece of shit. It’s because I have ADHD. The same reason I am an impulsive eater and simultaneously hyper fixate on diets and jump from one to the next. Same reason I feel like I’m always running but never getting anywhere. Physically, my knee is messed up. I broke my left femur when I was a kid and have been walking as if my legs are…

I had to wait 30 minutes. Then as soon we started we talked about schedule or something and I said I was in college and boom cuts interview. Oh sorry I'm working with too many people already who are in college wtf. But I'll show you around so then he showed me the department then I saw one guy who I had seen in one of my classes before working there which was random. Then I went on my way.

Big thanks you this sub reddit. Inspired me to build something for myself when I should have been working for someone else. Hopefully it will take off and I can follow my dream of doing nothing

I took this housekeeping job a year and half ago when I relocated to a new town. I have a degree and have worked jobs that were in my field, but I needed anything to pay the bills at the time so I took this job. I drive my own car to all my client’s houses and only get compensated for gas (not mileage aka wear and tear), and I only get compensated for the time I drive if I have to go 15+ miles out of town. I spend all day driving, cleaning, driving, cleaning. I’ve taken over the responsibility of creating my own schedules, I’m given clients farthest away, and I’m given the pickiest clients. My boss always says I’m her best employee, all my clients love me, etc. I’m super bitter because my clients pay my boss $40/hr for our services, but I’m paid $16/hr plus have…
