Antiwork

I put in my 2 weeks notice and was asked not to come in and finish it out, I wasn’t able to get my personal belongings either, never had a real problem there while working. What y’all think about this here ?

Millions of people go to work for someone who doesn’t care about you. Yet as a society we tolerate it. We tolerate the increase in price of common everyday things like food or gas. But we never stand up. We tolerate increased work loads without proper compensation. Everyone on this sub is a chump. Plain and simple we are chumps. It’s time for a mass call out or strike everywhere.

This is mostly subjective of course but thought I'd remind people to look into if this applies to you. I worked a technician job several years ago in where at one point I was required to travel between client sites. My boss told me “simply” travel on your lunch and pick up lunch on the way. This was an hour between sites, and they did pay for mileage based off Google maps. Me being the dumb noob that I was did so for several days until a senior co-worker informed me I was being shafted. He told me I shouldn't be travelling for work on MY lunch break. So the following week I began adding TWO hours of travel to my timesheet, but still working my four hours at each site. Well low and behold I accrued overtime. My boss calls me up asking why I have overtime, and told…

I was on my mandated 30 min unpaid break (for the days I get all 30 minutes of it) and determined nature calls. Naturally as it would be established I left the break room it makes perfect sense to clock back in. And then clock into some mobile games :). I usually fail to take the mandated 30 min as I instead take 3-6 five to ten minute breaks since those would be paid cause the law says breaks 15 min or shorter are paid (meant to cover getting coffee or using the can). Nah man, real break is for reading manga and looking actually relaxed, paid breaks are for the can or trying to consume a bag of Doritos before shit hits the fan in the work area. That's like an extra hour of wages a day for nothing. I work in a lab where they pack our shifts…

One of the worst experiences of my life. I came from working in healthcare (dealing with doctors etc) so I thought lawyers would be similar. Boy I was wrong. The IT team is treated terribly. Stupid complaints made about us all the time (we’re on our phones at our desk during lunch breaks etc). The business acts on these complaints very harshly. While any complaints we make about staff members speaking to us horrifically are outright ignored. I once had a partner swearing down the phone at me telling me I was useless because she decided to delete her emails from outlook. Luckily I’ve handed my notice in so I leave at the start of April, but I’m trying to convince the others I work with to look for new work. I just discovered some of them where forced to take a pay cut during lockdown because they where working…

Hi r/antiwork, I got hired at a startup almost a year ago. They were/are very disorganized and many people seem to have no idea what they're doing, which I'm sure isn't uncommon. I've been putting out fires since Day 1, which is how I ended up being brought on full-time last fall. All of the following is completely outside the scope of my contract, unless it falls under “other duties as requested.” I just finished up developing two large internal training programs. I also developed the entire curriculum for two separate group therapy programs. All four of these projects are far above my pay grade– they're the type of thing that someone with decades of experience and training would be doing, as group therapy is literally the main product the company was selling. I did allllll of this extra work at the same time as also doing my regular job…
