Antiwork

looking for knowledge/opinions… I work for a subsidiary to a large oil company, they’ve just issued me a credit card for business expenses… once something is purchased I have to reconcile the transaction in a bank system then goes to multiple approval steps within the company before the company will pay the card balance… as part of the terms for having the card I am responsible for any late fees incurred on the card. How common practice is this? I feel uneasy about being responsible for late fees when I am reliant on layers of approvals that I have no control of. -Reconciliation process is essentially uploading a receipt.

I have been teaching English online for a few months now. My girlfriend helped me find my first few students, around 8 students, and we share everything 50-50. She talks to the parents and schedules the classes for me, I plan the classes and teach the students. I have been doing a good job so far and got recommended to a few other students and now two schools have contacted me. I don't really mean that i am being scammed, but if i work a year like this, I'll only get half of the money i make, which is fine if she got me the student. The students pay anywhere from 6 to 15 dollars an hour. So i make half of that. I'm too much of a pushover to tell her anything myself, but i feel like i should get more from the students that she didn't get me,…

i wish i had the guts to ask for a pay raise. i wish I had the guts to put my foot down when repeatedly expected to do a fuck ton of work that's not in my job description. i wish I had the heart to tell my coworkers not to overwork themselves either. i wish I could convince my managers of the same, and the people above them. i wish I weren't so scared to speak up. i wish my silence could make a difference. instead I just break down and write reddit rants just to keep doing it all again the next day. i'm working but i'm not making any profit at all – just enough to afford nothing I need but everything my mind's been conditioned to want. i wish this cycle weren't so deadly. it's like it's been carefully crafted to hammer home just how meaningless…

That’s pretty much it. It is a religious holiday. I told you two weeks ahead of time. My family is traveling to be with me. Why do I have to give her more reasons?

I remember just 5 years ago I paid 6k to New York Times to be a part of the internship program. During my summer holiday , I got $17 from my internship with the New York Times , my days started at 6 am & ended at midnight , that made me feel quiet disappointed. Yeah , I didn't think much of it at the time , but how absurd was it that student-interns paid full-time tuition to “gain experience” , and were treated like running dogs… To be honest , my internships in New York Times consisted of meaningless tasks that in no way contributed to my skill set as well .One day , my supervisor sent me to get water . I got it and he said “sorry , I forget to tell you I don't take cold water” , I had to return it to get another…

This happened close to 10 years. I was new to this country and job hunting. After long search scored an interview for a junior Database Admin. The interviewer looked at my resume like a teacher looks at a paper while trying to grade it “It says here previously you were a Tutor at your college and you taught Advanced Mathematics. Can you solve this calculus problem?” “I didn't tutored Calculus but sure I can take a crack at it” Interviewer while laughing: “How can you write in your resume that you were an Advanced Maths teacher if you didn't teach calculus?” Me: “I didn't teach. I tutored and the subjects I tutored were called Advanced Maths and calculus is not in it” Interviewer: “Anyways. Here I see that you have a very broad experience. This is very bad it shows that you're not an expert in anything!” Basically the entire…

2 years ago was working in a shitty small business run by an old fashioned boomer who insisted everyone called him “boss” (uncommon in Australia). When I was on a pre-booked 4 week holiday which involved some unpaid days as it exceeded my accrued leave ( this was prearranged with the employer). I was out of reception overseas a few weeks, and didn't realise until I got back that I had been fired during the holdiday. He did it while I was on leave to avoid paying the 2 weeks notice he's legally obliged to give (he said the unpaid days of leave were the notice period). Didn't argue it too much at the time as I was worried about references for a new job etc and not sure if it's worth trying to do something about now to get the unpaid 2 weeks?
