Antiwork

Company I work for was so excited to tell everyone they were having the company picnic for the first time in 2 years (due to Corona virus). The company is closing all stores in CA & throwing a company picnic consisting of carnival games & a BBQ. But heres the kicker… You don't get 3 days off during that week, your days off are just swapped to random days which is far more fucking worse than just having us work our normal fucking shifts. People have routines.. daycare, school, other jobs, etc.. Some people NEED the days off they have in order to keep life running smooth. Not only are you forcing everyone to work different days but you're not even giving your employees a GOOD “company picnic.” I've heard incredible stories of companies having legendary bands play &/or having incredible performances. I work for a HUGE company. If we…

I want to work for better hours at my place of work. My boss has high schoolers leave at midnight some nights with school the next day, and some part timers are scheduled for 38-39 hour work weeks. I am pretty much the only adult other than my boss that works there, and i have no clue where to start when it comes to organizing/unionizing. So where do I start??

I struggled with a boss for ten months. I was doing her work way much better than she and all of my friends told me that she was feeling threatened because I was more suitable for her position than she was. Every week she told me I was a loser, she qualified me with low metrics and even thou I knew I was doing my work correctly I started doubting about myself. I haven't been able to perform new jobs as great as I used to do and I'm afraid I will never enjoy working again or will do my work as good as I used to do it.

Ugh why am I worrying? I don’t know. This job is ass. Every day was an embarrassment. Made to look like a fool. Set up for failure. Technology constantly failing on me. Coworkers not doing their job. Etc etc I texted my “boss” (he’s not the big boss) that I can’t come in tomorrow. Or ever. Last minute notice. Am just relying on that he’ll tell the rest. He hates this job too so he understands. I feel bad because I was supposed to be scheduled the next 8 days in a row, so they’re gonna be scrambling with the schedule. But yeah. Can’t take another day. I can’t sleep because of nerves. I was supposed to work tomorrow and I’m just… not going to show up.

For clarification, this is just a rant and place to vent. I’ve never done anything other than smoke weed and I live in a state where it’s legal. I’m just so frustrated that I’m most likely going to have to turn down this amazing job offer because of something sooooo stupid.

This is a long one, TL;DR at the end. I've spent the past 10 years working for this company, becoming a GM after only 2 years. I've been GM of this location for 5 years and spent many grueling hours building my store's staffing and sales, and now this store is one of the most successful stores in the state. Even though I know the owners don't pay well (it's actually the lowest-paying restaurant in this corner of the state) I've kept the store fully staffed through the pandemic because I take care of my team's needs and fight for them to have PTO and other benefits they normally don't get. I'm constantly given top-tier performance reviews, praises, the whole nine yards from upper management and even the owners. I have every relevant certification. And I've built a relationship with the community which is so strong that I've increased my…

Hello, I had a question for you guys if you don’t mind. I’m currently working a 40 hour job during the weekday and make like $22 an hour for being a supervisor. I don’t want to work any longer because it’s starting to become increasingly stressful. I’m close to hitting a year so I feel like I did my time already. I see many people here very happy to be out of work and living a happy comfortable life. How do you get a source of in come to still be able to afford shelter and food? I do not want to end up homeless but I also don’t want to work. What are you guys doing to fulfill this?
