Antiwork

I have a super crappy job that I am considering venting about but I need the money from it so bad that I fear retaliation if I say anything anywhere online. I guess when you get to the point you are going to walk out, you don't give a $hit any more.

I had an interview on Monday, that's now 2 days ago and I feel like a train wreck. If things weren't already bad enough… Being that frank to someone you don't know really takes balls. But is it wrong? Impolite? Am I just unfortunate for the experience? It definitely lessens the blow when all you ever normally get is a form response by email. They all look the same, but they don't have the sting of being directly rejected. Been out of work since I got canned over 4 months ago. It just sucks.

I'm switching companies within the same career path. More money, a better position, better company, etc. I have 8 days of sick time and I will not get cashed out on upon leaving. I can only use these days if I call off my shift. These days are separate from my vacation days. I will be putting my two weeks in on the 21st. My question for the r/askmen is would it be appropriate for me to take all of my sick time off in the coming two weeks leading up to my last day?What would you do? What did you do?

so i started a new job last monday and i’m being told that i’m “bringing everyone else down” because i “stand there not knowing what to do” as if it isn’t their fucking job to help me. even when i do ask for help i feel as though it’s just an inconvenience. they knew prior to this that i have 0 experience and i got told i would be provided with training (their idea of training is just to throw me in the deep end and hope i have a photographic memory or something lol). also, just a side note, this one manager made a massive deal about how i took too long on my break and that “breaks are only 30 mins” even though i literally left at 12:50 for my break and got back at 1:20. i’m so confused. i just want to say that my coworkers told…

I'm a contractor who works on site at our companies global R&D facility, I was hired about a year ago and the salary was less than expected but I took the job in hopes of job growth which they ensured. They gave me a speech about how if I give them a year they'll give me a nice raise and more opportunities. Obviously I was cautiously optimistic but the year is up shortly and I've been notified that they want to renew the contract and are in the works of a compensation increase. My salary has been 65k which iis simply not enough for me and my family in the area we live, especially with gas prices going up and I have a 50 mile commute each way. What is typical of a first year raise? Or is that too broad of a question. The other contractor who I work…

I earn minimum wage at a restaurant and have been trying to find better work for a while, but everything just feels too difficult right now. I spent today browsing through job ads, but I can’t bring myself to pretend to care about another company in my spare time when I already have to do that at the restaurant most days.

In December of 2020 my previous employer sent out a flyer with our pay stubs informing us that they would know longer be covering lost wages due to Covid. In October of 2021 I got Covid and was out for 10 days without pay per my employer’s instruction claiming they were following CDC guidelines. I just looked it up and they took over 1 MILLION dollars in PPP loans that they applied for AFTER they told us that they wouldn’t be reimbursing lost time. This it illegal right? It seems to me that they literally stole money from their employees.
