Antiwork

Sorry for the wall of text this all just started spilling out once i started. I’ve been working at this gas station for a little over 6 months. Used to be owned by a grocery store but was bought out by another company before i started working there. I ignored all the red flags like being added to a group chat within days of being hired (that’s only been used to passive aggressively call people out), my managers deeply personal relationship with not one but TWO employees, and the lack of staffing. We’ve been through 4 employees in my short time here and it took my girlfriend getting hired (against company policy) for me to realize that it’s literally just a complete lack of training. This manager is the type to let shit slide and throw you under the bus when it’s time for her to be held accountable. Case…

I finally got a job that had some downtime, a relaxed atmosphere and a very reasonable workload. Some days were stressful, some days were chill. Guy before me was a boomer who had that job for years before he choose to take a more active job. I had that fucking job for 5 weeks before the owners tripped over themselves to find me more work. They complained about the quality of my paperwork, then gave me triple. They noted I had little experience and put me on my fucking own to drown. They said they wanted me office side to learn, then throw me in a fucking van to be either driving or on my feet the entire shift. God fucking CHRIST. I didn't rock the boat, I didn't make a show of having downtime, I didn't overachieve. I did exactly what the boomer did and they could not fucking…

Really random but what is the point of having me fill out an application on indeed, then have me fill out an application online just to have me fill out an application at my interview??? Make it make sense?

My husband and I work for the same company and they transitioned to remote work during COVID. It’s the slow time of year for our job and they are looking for ways to cut expenses (insurance claims adjuster firm). My husband is consistently listed as one of the top performers on his team. Over the past few days they have began having meetings with literally everyone in his department telling them that their performance is sub par and they have to come back to the office if they want to keep their jobs. A lot of people live out of state and simply can’t do it, like ourselves. They want to be able to keep a closer eye on people and also I think that they knew people wouldn’t be able to stop working remote so they would get to fire people and make others that stay work harder. Also,…

tl,dr – made an asshole supervisor look even more like an asshole to his boss and got away practically scot-free. Some backstory. About a year ago. I switched jobs. The pay is the same but the current job is easier. And I decided that I won't try to hard. Because in this line of work there is no carrier path at all. Not that I believed in an honest carrier improvement from the very bottom. What happened. The senior employees finally gathered enough evidence to organize my performance review. I knew that I will be forced to listen to some abusive asshole berating for every little problem I ever made and some didn't. So before the review I talked to HR, to my supervisor's boss. Figured what are my options and what they can use against me. Turns out it amounts to a month of mentoring with another guy from…

Idk if this is the right sub, but I want advice from people who feel the same as me about work stuff. My boss is a classic micromanager and now that we're back in the office, it's become completely unreasonable. He just sent an email that includes this: “It’s ok to listen to music while you work. It’s important that you only have one headphone/earbud on so that you can hear your phone or if someone approaches your desk. It’s ok if you need to occasionally check your mobile device, but this needs to be kept to a minimum. On this same note, we should not be watching non-work-related videos while we are working. I know that some people have them on as they want to listen to the video — if that’s the case, you can still listen while having your phone face down to lessen distractions.” I have…

This is more of a rant than anything else. I’ve been working as a full time contractor for over two years for this company. I started September 2019 and was finally hired on as a “Full Time Employee” this October. Mind you, I still worked 40 hours a week. I’ve had all the same responsibilities, if not more, than their actual employees. I’ve been pulled into special projects, training for different teams, and I’m even the SME (subject matter expert) for several different brands. I got this job right before Covid happened. I hadn’t planned on staying for very long, but then the world stopped and I was just grateful that I still had a job and survived several rounds of layoffs. We have monthly performance reviews and I have NEVER gotten a bad review. My managers have had nothing bad to say about my work. I have never had…

Would you stay at a job where 3 people are constantly on you and managing you. 3 Team lead support thinking they're now the new manager and telling what to do. In total 6 manager wannabe They all want to speak at the same time in the meeting. Deuces in a bit 🤞
