Antiwork

I once had an owner of a shop I worked at bring in donuts for everyone. There were 2 owners of this shop. The other owner came out and told us not eat them because they were found next to the dumpster of a local donut shop.

So like an hour ago I got this text message. “I'm really disappointed in you do I neew to tell you why? Or you could send me your hours and we won't have to talk ever again. You won't work here no more” Was working for a catering company. Always different hours so I told him I'm looking for a permanent work. This december I was feeling a bit stressed becouse we always run out of time (aka the foods not done in time so can't deliver it in time to the customer) So then in januari I was not allowed to work for 2 days but they did still pay me. I asked why he said you hade some complained and I said whats complains. “we don't have to talk about it but I will go trough some new rules whit you” After that everything went back to normal…

Pretty much the title. The position I’m in is currently hiring for more of my exact position. However, they’re offering these new hires remote work. They claimed no one was applying, but once they added remote, they had way more applicants. So now people will be doing the same job as me, but from home. I was never offered a work from home option and neither were my other coworkers. So if I quit and reapply for my same job now I’d get to work remotely? Is this a normal thing companies are doing now?

I work in landscaping and my boss was planning on hiring another worker. He hasn’t yet and when I asked him when he will he jokingly said I can’t find anyone who will work for as low a wage as you. I currently make $25 an hour. Should I be asking for a higher wage/should I quit? It hurt knowing my boss (who has his own house and multiple cars) would joke about my financial situation that he literally is the reason for while I’m struggling to pay rent and have thousands in debt. Am I overreacting?

The title pretty much says it all but I cannot state the growing anger thats been brewing these last few months. They always try to play these song and dance games with us saying it'll only be this amount or that us paying means free drills or some such nonsense but we all know it won't end there. Apparently since they haven't gotten thier way they've decided to say screw you and the horse you rode in on and go to Washington DC for it to be decided there. There's talk about layoffs to discourage talk of wage increases but they all seem to forget that most guys will pack up and hit the road and leave these jobs unmanned. If you're union fight to keep your rights, if your not I suggest you join one.

Boss just asked me to do a welding job for him. I told him I don’t know how to weld. He said ok and left. I lied. I’m an excellent welder. But I’m sick of late paychecks, bounced paychecks, horrible working conditions, dangerous equipment, and upset coworkers. And I don’t want to become the go-to guy for future welding jobs……I’m not payed as a welder for this company. All in all it was a pretty average morning around here. Those that go above and beyond will be rewarded with more shit to do for the same pay.

Anyone else fucking hate this reaction to literally anything you do that isn't related to working etc. Like I make memes sometimes and it takes me about 3 minutes, OH TOO MUCH TIME ON YOUR HANDS MATE.
