Antiwork

Work in at a medical supply company making all kinds of equipment. Today I was sent to work a machine I never worked before and my boss didn’t teach me how to do anything. It started off well, the machine was already set up. Once the materials ran out I had to figure out how to set them up myself and I ran into some trouble several times installing each part needed. I tried for a while but couldn’t do it. I ask him for help and the douchebag won’t help me. He pretty much just taunts me and leaves. Whatever I get paid good. A while later he comes back sees me struggling and doesn’t help me. He tells me “If you can’t do this you might as well quit.” I tell him to show me how to do it and he walks away. I was pissed, I keep…

“This cannot be a family member or previous employer” Go fk yourself. Who lives their life like it's 1948? I don't go and visit the bank manager for a casual chat. I don't have a regular doctor because the health service is dire. All my childhood friends from my dormitory town upbringing are on welfare or are in minimal wage unskilled jobs on temporary contracts in the town's only source of work. I'm not part of the golf club. I move house every 6 months because I'm fkng forced out. I've never held a job down for 5 years yet because I get made redundant or am on temporary contracts. Who is it that you want who could say “yes, this is he”? Then what? I'm seething because I've just chosen to explain that I can't and won't satisfy this stupid pointless request rather than go to the effort of…

I went for promo over a year ago, that just “fell off” no explanation, HR person left. New manager takes over, I go for promo again, going through all necessary interviews again, while still being the leader and training new people. I find out that several newer staff that I trained get promoted and they were told to be quiet about it. Why? I ask Manager what the hold up is about my answer. I am strong along being told different timelines for the answer, having to ask because follow up isn’t done and communication is awful. I was eventually told that I probably have it because “no one else applied for the spot on the weekend”. More weeks go by totalling several months. I am called into a meeting where I am told lies about my performance and they say I need to be evaluated for another 90 days…

The Uk ditched any self -isolation rules weeks ago. I had Covid and I could come to work, but my boss told me to stay home. I thought that obviously she would pay me, cinsidering it's her unilateral decision to stop me earning money, but at the end of the month I had the bad surprise: I was not paid for the days she told me to stay home. When I said that I could have gone by law, she started with my “moral duties” towards the society. Edit: the focus of my post is my boss giving me the moral burden to choose between paying the bills and spreading the virus.

Hey there, A little backstory: i am an electrician in germany. I lost my last job two years ago and took a few months off while the lawsuit i filed against my old boss was still running. I found the job i am at pretty easy since electricians are rare here and every company is understaffed. Well we are understaffed as well. Even my boss is working on the jobsides (residential mostly) and is accepting way too many jobs that we (3 guys and boss) are not really able to handle them. The last few weeks we are doing (paid) overtime like crazy and my boss demands to do even more. If he is helping us at the jobsides he in fact is way faster than us as he always says but we have to correct his work and need way longer than if we do it our selfes. Right…

They're both ~55 yo, pushing 60 soon So anyway, I had a talk with them and these fucking idiots just simply cannot understand it's not normal that I'm looking at wage-slaving for 40 years (I'm 24) just so I can retire or sth Hell I don't even want to live that long especially as a non-rich person, fuck all that. My life has been so overrated, ofc I'm not a special case, but the big difference between me and normies is they're brainwashed into thinking this is OK and there's nothing wrong with this. I don't wanna hustle, I don't wanna grind, I wanna live my life doing fuck all for society since society hasn't done anything for me so why should I wanna contribute to society? I have zero reasons to I just wanna live my life doing whatever I want (and by that I don't mean work. I…
