Antiwork

So I'm working at a warehouse now, and my supervisor seems to treat me different from everyone else because I'm on prohibition period. So today, I saw everyone leave their parts of where they worked in the warehouse, and thought, oh okay….everyone has finished so I'm done too? And it made sense because when I was training, the lady who trained me allowed me to leave 8 minutes early. So I sat down today, 8 minutes early, with my supervisor starring at me hard. I was thinking ughhh what have I done now? so I ignored her. She then asked me why I'm not in the warehouse cleaning and I told her because everyone has left, and so I thought that everything was just finished as I previously just went to the toilet before I went back upstairs. She then says to me “you are on probation period, and just…

So I work as a data entry specialist for a local company. They’re expanding fairly quickly and they’ve realized that my two person data team isn’t able to handle the increasing workload. I agreed with this and they started discussing the possibility of me becoming the “head of all tech related fields”. I was interested because it would come with a $7 pay raise which would be great but I wanted to discuss what the new position would entail before I accepted. They told me we would arrange a meeting with the owner and get all of that sorted out in a couple days. Cut to the day of the meeting and it turns out the owner can’t make it so he has the two upper level managers break it down for me. Basically I would end up doing exactly what I’m doing now plus everything else that would have…

I Got a call today after working at a production warehouse for two months through a temp agency and I was told that my “assignment had ended”. The thing that baffled me is that the agency had spoken to the managers and higher ups at the ware house to obtain a review prior and I was told I was doing a good job. I made mistakes very seldomly (and none of them were anything major), always did what I was told, never missed any days except for 1 day, and I came in and worked my hardest. So it baffles me that I would get a call out of the blue that I’m “not a good fit”. They’ve been letting people go like wildfire at this place for what it seems like no reason. I get that it’s a temporary position but it just seems wrong to do it in…

They literally keep sending constant messages to makes sure you're at your desk . They hide behind the fact that they are just checking on you and asking how your day is going. I call bullcrap. This is micromanagement!!! Don't keep sending messages asking how is it going multiple times in a day. How would one even focus!!!!

Reminder to everyone in the Corp world. Do not help out another team without getting it in writing that will be weighed against your end-of-year review and it will get you a full number advancement. For doing your job where I work you get a 3, if you bust your ass and become all things to all people and never say no to anything you might get a 4. To get a 5 you have to be a god, I've had 6 5s over my career. When I was asked to help out the other team last week I said I need it in writing that I will be rewarded for doing my job and their job too. I said this in front of three of the managers. They said you need to be a team player. I am a team player, I'm a team of 1 me! When the…

Hey antiwork just looking to vent a bit and see if anyone has meaningful advice. I'm a 30/M/US and was diagnosed as autistic late in my life at 26. This diagnosis was earth shattering for me as so many things suddenly made perfect sense and I now became hyperaware of all my tics and masking and how toxic it had made me as a person. 4 years on I feel emotionally better but my work history is complete and total garbage. For those not in the know adults with autism have absolutely abysmal job outlooks. 80% of us are either unemployed or under employed and my job history reflects that well. I've never worked anywhere more than 2 years and have been fired from five (I think?) jobs in the past 7 years. And have burned bridges with virtually everywhere else I have ever worked. Guys I'm frustrated as hell.…

Tbh I’m really just done. I like to get my work done quickly at my job and leave ASAP. For me, as long as my bills are paid, then everything else is fine. There are others at work though that milk their hours for all that they’re worth, and I’m fine with that as long as it doesn’t affect me, which it has. Today I got done at my 4 1/2hr mark. I could have left, but was made to stay for another hour and a half since someone else hadn’t finished their job. They could have finished early. They had help, but they wanted to milk it. And of course if they don’t have help for the last bit they have to do, they’ll pitch a fit. The thing is, whenever I’m left by myself to do something, and this person is done early, they get to peace out.…

I did find out the new person’s pay. And I’m going nuts. Fucking hell. The whole system is designed for us to struggle. For us to be exploited for profit. I can’t take it anymore. I almost got ahead coming out of the pandemic only for this to happen. The company even prides itself on being “woke” which makes it even more of a low blow. Gonna go get drunk about it today then go looking for my bootstraps tomorrow. Just had to vent. This really stings.
