Antiwork

I know delaying pay isn't legal, but this is a bit unique situation. For context, I am a full time student and employee at this place and am really burning the candle at both ends recently. When I initially started the job I signed some paper work through this app they use called zenifits that allowed me to choose whether I got payed with direct deposit or by check, I chose check (call me old fashioned). It has been a few weeks and I've had no issue until now. I got a text from my manager while in class today saying this Man.: “Hey, I need you to do your direct deposit stuff on Zenefits We aren't doing checks anymore and if you don't have it set up in the next like 2 hours your won't get paid” I did not see this message until way after 2 hours (as…

My partner has been working for a employment service provider for 14 months. She started as a ‘business coordinator’ which turned out to be a glorified name for a receptionist. She ensures people who are getting benefits are in fact trying to find work, she does the meeting and greeting of clients. Fills out claims when someone gets a job. Slowly her responsibilities have been increasing. Unfortunately when someone’s claim has been cut off and they come to the office upset/angry/abusive she is the first person they see. She’s been spat on, shouted out and threatened. Once with a knife. I can’t count the amount of times she has called me up crying down the phone. I have urged her to find new work but we don’t live in a big town and there’s not much around. She already drives 2 hours a day for this job. I then said…

I just looked it up and apparently when I kill myself my mom and partner should be able to get all my debts discharged, even my student loans. We can't afford to get married so that shouldn't be an s Issue. Once I get some stuff taken care of I think this might be it. I don't have a method yet but I'll figure it out. Have to clean up the house, my shit is everywhere and I don't want my partner to deal with that. She just texted me and said she found a collections letter but it was for a small amount so she paid it, and one other bill too, so it doesn't go to collections. I'm so ashamed. It was for my cpap machine supplies. I haven't been able to afford a lot of my medications for months. I stupidly spent my last round of student…

So late last year I had covid, and working in the nhs means I couldn’t go back in until every symptom had gone, so I was off for 10 days. On my return, I was told if I took another day off, I would be fired. Flash forward to today; I’ve been up vomiting all night and start work in an hour and I’m really worried that if I go in and have to go home, I’ll be sacked. I just needed to rant

So being at a company that pays equity bonuses is nice in theory. Overall probably means your salary is pretty good, so while I'm about to bitch and moan in this post – I recognize that things could bw way worse, and folks working hourly are really who needs to be defended today. Having said that, if you get offered an RSA or RSU stock grant, or any form of “bonus” that comes with a contract – you might legitimately be better off rejecting it. After over two years at my job I lined up something new, and put in my resignation with two weeks notice. I knew I was going to be surrendering bonuses that were awarded previously because they were paid in chunks over several years ( which sucks ). What I did not know is that for RSA grants you literally lose money to taxes! The “bonus”…

I was flustered during the first interview for a retail position, but I have a second one with the store owner. I actually have good vibes about this place, but I’m afraid my nervousness is going to be more obvious than the first interview. I haven’t had a second interview in a long time. Right now I’m so nervous I’m blanking on times when I rectified a situation with a customer, what my weaknesses are, etc. I definitely had a brain fart when I was asked about a time I went above and beyond for a customer during the first interview, and I’m afraid of screwing up tomorrow. So, what are some answers you gave to common scenario questions?

i recently recieved a bonus from my job. they're so set on subliminally making us workers subscribe to the idea they care about us. corporate has shown no signs of caring, and when they do, its in the form of monetary gifting, and not actually helpful resources. ive been told by my manager to keep home life at home and work life at work. this sounds good on the surface level, at least to a person whos never endured a severe mental ailment for most their life. what i am trying to say is that mental illness is not a thing that is a flip switch. it lives with you. it kills you from the inside. so, i cant just turn off these spontanaic thoughts of autodeceasing. if this seperation of settings on the terms of mental health, is referring to masking, just say “i need you to mask at…

Looks like I will continue to do so indefinitely. It will also get more expensive. Will I even actually get to own a place without having to pay for it? Reality be wildin. How can we escape this existential crisis?
