Antiwork

Forget the radical websites, political Twitter and all the Facebook nonsense, I love this sub-reddit. Everyone showing each other that there is a better way free of oligarchs, idotic bosses, rules and endless wage slavery to buy endless crap.

So basically I worked in a startup. The culture of flexible working is seriously fucked. And there's my boss who thinks we should be researching to get the information first and only come to him for discussion after that. Many times he didn't give us clear and complete information and we made a mistake by not knowing what to do. And instead of guiding his team member he shouts at us and publicly shames us infront of people from other department. Many times people in our company say that our department is not efficient at all. And when we don't get proper information about assigned work to the department from the department lead how will it be ever efficient. And not only that he doesn't even sit near to us while working as well. He works in a floor below separately from our department which he is supposed to be…

So say a task can be completed in 2 weeks at a normal work day. There is no way to make it be completed quicker, unless you work more hours in the day. Why do managers then try and set deadlines for this task at 1 1/2 weeks then? My thought is it’s a ploy to guilt people into working more hours. Or do you think they are just so not intune with the process they just don’t know? I personally think it’s a form of passive aggressive management style.

Just got to use this with my gf. She's been working at hotel for 7 months or so. Under 2 different agencies. The first agency was a shambles and regularly underpaid her. We got most of the money owed, and there's a complaint in with HMRC (we're in the UK) for the rest. This new agency seemed good, first pay was perfect, management improved etc. At least for the first couple of weeks. Now however they've started the same shit. My gf isn't very confrontational and usually just asks them to fix it when they can. I'm the opposite and have had to stop myself going in and making things worse. But today we went through what they are doing and how she's getting paid under minimum wage currently with what they are doing. After a long conversation, i told her something I keep seeing on this sub. Told her…

I have a few reasons.. The owners recently sold to a corporation and the managers were left in charge. There's nepotism and lack of working. The GM is on salary so she'll schedule herself for shifts that aren't normal so she can do the least amount of work possible. Like why does everyone else have to be there at 6am, but she can roll in around 11am? Completely not fair. Then her BFF other manager barely does any work and gets away with it. More than once my check was short or I didn't get it in time. I worked from 8am-7pm yesterday and have to be back at 7am and I'm exhausted, my body is stiff and aching. I basically closed alone last night (work at a dog day care so ALOT of cleaning involved) while the managers say at the front all buddy buddy. Multiple of my coworkers…

As background, I am a 25m entry-level data analyst living in Turkey. I graduated from the translation department of one of the top colleges in the country, it is Japanese-English-Turkish translation, but coding and data suited me more. So I switched careers. 3 days ago I got offered a job from a mid-sized data company from Germany that okay'd the remote working situation. The problem is the pay. They offered me € 1000 a month for 5 days a week, 9-5 acc. to my timezone. Bcz of the terrible economy of Turkey, this money still will let me live a pretty good life but I know a few friends similar in competency and education/experience background to me, and they get paid at least 3 times more than me. So I don't want to overstep anything and lose a possibly good resume material and foreign currency salary option. I have been…

The question's pretty much in the title: things are really becoming unbearable for most people, and I just don't see this lasting forever. Also where are the super rich going to hide if hundreds of millions / billions end up being driven (potentially, this is not me saying this is a good or bad thing obviously) by a murderous frenzy against the real elites, in order to get back what they believe is theirs by right? What happens at that point, will there be a war between the 99.9% and the 0.1% in the foreseeable future? Will there be manipulation from the aforementioned elites in order to cause a divide and a civil war? Is this an auto lose for the people or is there some hope? In other words: is there a way out of this that would benefit the 99.9% of us? NB: I'm intentionally talking about the…

Throwaway because internet be wildin: Today I was pulled into a meeting to discuss my annual review. In said meeting, I was informed that for the last year I’ve been not living up to the firms expectations and was accused of not performing my job duties, essentially for the length of time I’ve been working. This is contrary to every quarterly feedback form I’ve received and every quarterly review I’ve had, so to say this came out of left field is a bit of an understatement. They tried to place me on a PiP, which for any of you that are familiar with software jobs, this is basically a railroad to fire me. This essentially leaves me with no other option but to resign. I’d recently requested FMLA leave due to some unforeseen issues that have cropped up in the last few months and they dragged their feet in approving…
