Antiwork

I've been at my company for almost two years. They were a small family company that dispatched service techs. The office and techs all interacted and cared about each other. The company has since grown, restructured and now the office and warehouse can no longer interact at all apart from recorded work related phone calls. They hired outside people to come in as middle managers/liaisons between office and techs. I had been very good at my job but that was because I built a relationship with the techs so we helped each other out. Now this connection has been severed. Permissions have been taken away and even my boss admitted that I have no room for growth. I am the most senior person in the office (at less than 2 years so you see the turnover rate) and I'm not valued or respected at all by management. I'm paid enough…

Welp I didn’t get Easter off so I’m stuck in the city alone, my bf left to see his family but I can’t see mine even though my sister is over for the first time in ages. I was gonna pretend I’m sick but how shitty would it be if I said my grandma died? I mean I’m not lying she did die.. like 10 years ago..

So imma just say their name cause I’m not getting paid enough to keep it quiet but l worked at American Freight it’s a furniture warehouse store I guess ? Idk we sell dumb shit like sofas and mattresses , anyway Im in the “ warehouse” part which is just one half of a big ass building and at first it seemed cool & pretty easy work the first week or so then our warehouse manager quit and 3 others leaving 2 other guys and myself as the only people. So here’s where the problem starts , my schedule immediately got switched from what it was before ( set schedule 8-4 mon – thurs ) to any day of the week at any time which I immediately had a problem with cause I barely make 11 bucks a hour. Then the manager who fucking sucks at her job schedules me…

Every year, the (public) school I work at asks for $50 in staff association fees for gifts/dinners/fun things for the staff. For the past few years, I've paid the fee – wanting to be a team player and all. This year, they can take that money from my cold dead hands. The employee agreement for the next 4 years is less than 2% p/annum, without a reduction in class sizes or administrivia – the two most important factors across the state for teachers. So, fuck it. I refuse to work past contract hours. I'm not volunteering for camps. I will do my job, but not the expected (yet unacknowledged) 15-20 hours of unpaid overtime. I'm a person not a fucking martyr.

I work for a non-profit, which means I work with a bunch of college educated rich white women who haven't felt the sting of inflation in the same way that our clients do, or that I do as a poor white woman. I do not enjoy the work culture. But, there are PTO days and I can work from home sometimes, and it's just the best thing I'm going to find. ATM. I also appreciate that my boss wants me to feel seen and heard… As long as it doesn't take any extra effort on their part. Before I started my position was full time and they cut it down to part-time before I was hired. Every time I bring up adding more hours so that I can actually complete my work, they want to talk about my organization skills or my ability to multitask. Side note, I have adhd.…

His first job was to throw away boxes filled with what he says were perfectly good doughnuts. Just hundreds of them. This was a factory so there shouldn’t have been a surprise rush hour or something like that. They’re all going to retail so I would’ve thought they’d have a better idea of how many to make instead of wasting food. While he’s doing that one of the supervisors and someone else are throwing away a barrel of icing. He didn’t hear the full context but he did hear the supervisor say something along the lines of “Stop complaining you big puff.” To the person they were with. Now I don’t know about other countries but here that’s pretty homophobic. Kind of a problem for my brother so he just left. He was only supposed to be doing a part time shift but ended up working 8 hours with no…

Like seriously, how the hell do these people think?
