Antiwork

the yankees come here to mexico to the 3rd world to enslave us for $100 dollars a month. $3 dollars a day. in their factories. It's all about oil and that ponzi scam called the dollar. https://preview.redd.it/rvljuji868p81.png?width=1600&format=png&auto=webp&s=4a0445526d4048ff6b9e8eb0d63a61e4c6e9ed87

After an appropriate period of careful deliberation, I have come to the decision to tender my resignation from XXX group effective immediately. Please know that I still have high respect for you as a manager and supervisor though you have done some weird shit in the past like that day I caught you stealing company toilet paper and smoking in the ladies washroom (but that’s kinda on you to come clean). I have been proud to work for the company and over the past year, the journey has provided me a unparalleled foundation to move forward to the next exciting opportunities. As such, I have decided to become a professional pirate. It’s always been my dream to live the life of a swashbuckling Corsair beholden to none and master of all. Once my crew is assembled, we will take to the high seas to peruse fortune, fame, and hair-raising adventure.…

Just need to vent, I'll try not to make it super long. I've been working at this job since last October, and I also have a second WFH part-time job. I don't know my boss well at all on a personal level, but up until now she's been respectful to me and we've had some pleasant conversations, and I didn't think she was a bad person by any means. This place is always short-staffed, the turnover rate is super high as it's very physically demanding and a tough job. The pay is not good at all for what I do, and I quickly realized it would be a temporary job or I would eventually cut back my hours and work somewhere else. I got a small raise after 3 months which still doesn't make it worth it by any means. I've been asked to come in a lot for extra…

I started with this company two months ago. Working as a dispatcher for a tow truck company. One of the drivers was pretty friendly and started flirting with me. I cut it off when I found out he was married about 3 weeks ago. On Sunday I heard from another lady in the office he was nervous about rumours of some kind but I hadn’t heard anything. Came in today and I was let go because a driver had complained about my “attitude”. Now I’m not mathematician but I can count as well as the next person. And I’m pissed. They won’t tell me who it was the complained, and because I’m still in the probation period I can be let go for no reason at any time leaving me with no recourse.

You are an adult. If there's something they dont like about your performance they can ask you to change it. If you cant or wont change it they can either live with it or fire you. Subjugating yourself to petty tyrants takes a toll on your mental health; stand up to them and demand to be treated with the respect due an adult and professional.

So I’ve been maintaining production targets with 20 open positions out of 111 and have been filling in for sub-par supervisors… doing my manager’s job too. As a thank you, I got a write up because I told my team lead to do something they didn’t do. I had to walk away before verifying because my manager was too busy to do his job and I wanted to make sure that our plant looked good during the morning meeting, so I put in our “numbers” for him. 545pm, after working for 12 hours and walking 11 miles, I get a “thank you” on my way to the car. Fuck that. I’m currently seeking other employment. I have my department over $5M ahead of schedule, and have saved over $20k in the last four months in “consumables”. Once again, fuck that… deuces.
