Antiwork

I took a job a little while ago at a big chain department store. When I took the job I was happy with the pay, part time hours and I thought I would be out early in the day. Well that isn’t what ended up happening. I’ve been working full time ever since minus a week or two. Not to mention working 6-7 days straight with a day off here and there. Plus I’ve been working late into the evenings when I was told I would be done in the early afternoon. I’ve had to take the last two days off for a family emergency and reflected a little. I decided I was going to put my two weeks in today and as I’m driving this morning I thought “fuck this, I don’t owe them anything”. This company didn’t have the decency to be up front with me about the…

I work in a CNC machine shop and the job is extremely easy. Load the material into the machine, press the button, unload the machine, rinse and repeat. There is allot of down time depending on the machine you are running, some allot more than others. For that reason we are allowed to play on our phones pretty much all day at work as long as the machine is running. Also allot of my co workers smoke pot including myself and this place doesn’t do Pre employment drug testing only tests if you hurt yourself or crash a forklift. It’s a really cool company, very small so we don’t have to wear masks and your pretty much left alone as long as your work load is completed. Very little management and over head, there is only a handful of people above me. The company pays well to starting at entry…

Is that I can go online and google and see that the CEO gave himself a bonus last year that’s probably more money than I’ll ever see in my life, while I’m dragging my sore ass out of bed every morning for $18/hr

I used to feel so bad for taking a sick day, even when I was legitimately ill. This sub has cleared my conscience. This morning I didn’t feel like working. So I didn’t. Why the fuck should I? I have tons of PTO (including a stupid # of sick days I never even come close to reaching). Messaged my boss that I wouldn’t be working today and her response was “no problem at all.” Sat in bed watching trash TV (The Kardashians – I know.). Ordered sushi. Painted my nails. And didn’t give one single flying fuck. Might even take tomorrow off too.

So, I'm on the job market and applied for a remote position in the financial department with a UK based tech company. (I'm not in the UK) I'm at work and could only do the MS teams interview with the HR (based in the same country as myself) via my mobile, so I don't raise suspicion at work. She first asked me about myself, so I started telling her about my work history, etc which may have taken a max of 10 min. She then goes on the ask your “old, out dated” HR questions like are you married, do you have a kid. She goes onto explain what the company is about and the position (this part always gets me. Why explain the position that I applied for, unless there's information not in the ad. I would know exactly what is required from me from the ad.) I made…
