Antiwork

I went on secondment to another area of the company and the manager was horrendous. Completely unreasonable, constant micromanaging, no support, moving goalposts, constant criticism and manipulation. My union got my secondment ended early and I'm back in my old team again but I have lost all my confidence. Things take me so much longer because I question every word I write and I feel guilty for using peoples time to get me up to speed on projects because my old manager made me feel like I knew nothing. I'm not my usual self at meetings because I am scared to speak up in case I'm wrong. How can I get my confidence back?

I posted here a lot I just have no one else to talk to about this. My former coworker just texted me that the supervisor couldn’t handle me leaving and gave his notice. I worked a very critical role, nobody wants my site nor shift. Lots of pressure. The supervisor couldn’t do it and gave his notice. What a weird twist of events.

Hello Reddit, I am seething with anger and disappoint. I work(ed) for a call center (Bloom Insurance) that was contracted with a insurance company (Aetna Medicare & Silver Script). Everyday I got to help people with insurance. I am I licenced insurance agent. I was paid $17 plus commission for making sales. I've had this job since August 2021, I was one of their top sales agents. After our busy period they offered voluntary furlough to people, I have bills to pay so I didn't do that. Now today, I just got off a Zoom call with some HR lady I've never met before. Myself and lots of other employees have been placed on that voluntary furlough. This was with no warning. I was working one minute and told to go fuck off the next. They'd like up back in August. I won't be coming back. In very Gen Z…

I told them I was leaving over a week ago. I have two days left of work there. My manager has been trying to get me to stay by matching my new pay at my new job and offering me a set schedule. My current job is extremely toxic and they can’t keep anyone there bc their starting pay is $10 an hour and the working conditions are awful. I’ve told them that I don’t want to stay many times and now they’re trying to trap me by working me one day a week to see if I “like my new job”. It would not be one day a week. We have countless call outs every week that I have always had to cover for. Nothing would change. Any tips on what to say when she just won’t back off? I struggle with setting boundaries and this is really challenging…

Context: No, my brother is not a boomer. He’s younger than me and I’m only in my early 20’s. Because those jobs are known for being terrible like McDonald’s, he fully believes that stupid people with no options have no right to negotiate for better working conditions because they’re easily replaceable. It doesn’t matter to him if he uses their services, he simply believes it’s socially accepted that those jobs are meant to be terrible and the people working them should quit otherwise they accept they’re desperate idiots.

They’ve been asking me to go out in the field and do work that’s outside my job description. Specifically work that my boss told me I would NEVER do when they hired me. I asked for compensation and they said “it was worked into your salary”… how could it be if it was something you told me I’d never do? Since then my boss has been really rude to me. I started one of my daily tasks and my boss texted asking why I initiated the task. I said it needed to be done and they sent me a screenshot of the task completed in their software and said “like this?” And berated me for not knowing it was already done. Usually if they do one of my tasks they tell me and I didn’t see the “completed task” email in my inbox so I assumed it hadn’t been done.…

Long story short my boss sucked he was a narcissist and refused to admit he was wrong now that I'm out of that crappy place I'm happy to try my best to look for a better job. And right now enjoy my time as a free man till my back up opens their position.
