Antiwork

The assistant manager has always been really bad about call-outs. She kinda gaslights a bit and makes you feel bad. I texted her to let her know that I’m not feeling well and won’t be coming in. I never got anything back, but she saw it. I called her three times, I called the general manager once, and our dispatcher once. No one picked up. I took screenshots of everything, including me trying to get ahold of people via phone calls and sent it to my general manager. So it’s not like I didn’t try lol.

You would think that they would chill with the distrust and coercion that leads to employees reporting to work sick – spreading germs to the rest of their peers and customers. Nope. They're back at it again. Aloof to how the work while sick culture contributed to the shutdowns they resented so much.

I work in a warehouse and this guy wanted to pick up an expensive order. The layaway code on it was rubbed off and basically unreadable. I sent him to the main store as I cannot pick up the order without the code, about 3 minutes later I got a call to the warehouse and one of the higher up employees was laughing and saying how I should now how to do this, basically being as condescending as she could. (I’m a part time student who’s been here not even a year. The warehouse employees share one computer between the 12 of us) am I in the wrong?

I started to see people mentioning how they had long unemployment gaps since the Covid pandemic started, so let me tell you about my story a little bit. This is “morally grey” I suppose, but it's a good example of how you sometimes gotta make a questionable choice to get further in life. I've been dealing with tons of very very difficult stuff in my life, which I won't mention because you'd get bored. In any case, the result was a 5 years gap in my resume, right after getting my master's degree, so basically nothing to show for it. The solution? I got an employment certificate from a cousin who's a business owner, signed by his hand, references, the whole schebang, who covered a 3 years gap for me, and I said I've been a freelance community manager for 1.5 years right after that, which works because that's actually…

My employer has been dodging me for months regarding my unpaid performance bonus. Performance bonuses are discretionary and based on effort (I had worked +200 hours OT during the fiscal year in question) but are ultimately based on company profit. I know the company is profitable and many, if not all my colleagues, received performance bonuses. After making multiple email and in-person inquires over the past few months without any response, I was fed up. So the other day I walked into my boss' office and demanded to know the status of the situation. Turns out, the decision had been made that my signing bonus (given a year prior upon my first pay) was my performance bonus. These two bonuses are not related in any way as per my employment agreement and will form the basis of my legal case. This guy is so full of shit I could smell…
