Antiwork

I work at subway. I'm currently working to get the manager role at my shop because we only have a stand-in at the moment not a proper manager. The stand in supposedly wants me to take the job. Now yesterday I was given the responsibility of managing rotas (no extra pay mind you) and I sent it out when it was finished to immediately be told by one staff member 'I'm not working sunday because I'm getting drunk Saturday night' my response was it's too late to change the rota so she needed to find someone to swap shifts with. The stand in agreed with me. Head forward to this morning, I wake up to a new rota sent out by the stand in that took this member of staff off sunday and GAVE ME THE SHIFT INSTEAD. I am fuming and so sick of snakes in workplaces, if the…

So I work at a warehouse full time and boss man said Saturday’s are now mandatory so working 6 days a week is putting a hurting on my physical and mental state so of course I called out sick and now the time has come for me to come back but I simply don’t want to just sent in the resignation letter

I’d love more information on how to start a union for social workers (in the United States). How does a profession start this process?

What's with the recent push from upper/middle management to get people back in the office. I don't understand why this has become a new battlefront. I have also seen a lot of articles in the media from right wing pundits about “getting back to the office” the sentiment being that employees are better off and happier working in the office. I don't know who has been apart of this research but that hasn't been my personal experience from speaking to colleagues and friends. Literally no one I have spoke to wants to go back full time, part time yes maybe. My company has an all staff meeting tomorrow whereby the general theme will be getting staff back into the office, however they have considerably downsized our office and expect most staff to be in a very small and compact room, which will be hell in terms of keeping focused. I…

US friends — I haven't seen much posted about this in here, but I just thought everyone should know that multiple high-ranking folks in the Democratic Party are strongly pushing Judge Michelle Childs behind the scenes to be nominated to the Supreme Court. Michelle Childs is a former corporate lawyer and actively worked against labor rights. She has no place on the highest court and it's our responsibility to contact our representatives to make sure it doesn't happen. While Senators aren't the ones who decide the nominee, people emailing their Senators to let them know you expect them to not support this potential nominee. Here are instructions on how to do that.

It's my manager's 15 year anniversary of employment with the company. Other managers surprised him by arranging catering from a sandwich place and 3 silk cream pies from the local grocery store. After having my sandwich I went back to get pie. I was early, the pies had been cut but only one slice had been taken from one of the pies. There was one pie spatula for all 3 pies, and it was already covered in pie. I started to just wipe it off with a napkin to go for the chocolate pie, when it clicked that the pie on the spatula was from the peanut butter pie. I saw a big problem looming that a napkin wasn't going to solve. I asked the managers standing around me if there was only the one spatula; yes there's only one. I tried telling them that no one should use the…
