Antiwork

So, here's what happened when I got back from my afternoon run. Once everyone finished their runs, we all got called into the lunch room. Union organiser, 3 levels of managers and the owner were all present. Owner went on at some length about the unexpected software problem, how it wasn't really anyone's fault, and that failure to make other arrangements was an oversight (that was as close as we got to an apology) He then went on to say that “at great expense to the company” they had arranged an out of sequence interim payment so everyone would be paid on time after all.

After the talk, we all filed out to go home. The manager…

Had to print out my resume and references, I had to walk to the printer shop and pay for this, and I had to take an Lyft to the location, which was around $80. (The scheduling for the interview was a little tight so I had to get there quicker instead of taking public transport, yes I am working on getting my license, my lease is ending soon, I will move to be closer to my job and get a car once I get my license) the person meant to interview me was a doctor and didn’t even have “time” for a 5-15 minute chat after I came as she was “busy” and “on…
