Antiwork

I cannot find a quantity surveyor a remote position (site is in Atlanta Georgia) for $170k/year right now… I blame all of you! Of course I'm just kidding about the blame thing, but this really does go deep, it's more than just the jobs people don't want to do, there's pockets of skills demand out there like I've never seen!

To be 100% honest living this way sucks. Living to pay rent and no place wanting to give you A decent pay/full time/40hours a week. Going to job interviews and hearing “we’ll contact you within 48 hours” and never hearing from that company again. Doing 30 minute long assessments just feel like another name in a file. Getting told that you’re gonna be a shift manager but then on first day hearing from everyone that they only work about 15 hours a week. I’m so tired of living every single day not knowing where my next meal is coming from or even how I’m gonna pay rent this month because a company decided to randomly cut my hours. Honestly it’s caused me to be in a really deep depression because everyone else seems to be traveling and doing really really well and I can’t even pay my rent on time…

Hi! I’ve been lurking on this page for a while. I have been hesitant to post because I’ve read about backlash from employers who read this and I have no way of knowing if my current one does, but I am fairly easily identifiable by my profile. I decided in January that I am going to move from the Northeast US to the Midwest. My company has fully remote teams and those teams have members in other states, I am partly remote in the office 3 days and home 2. I reached out to my manager and asked if I could stay on. He wanted me to, and his superior also approved this decision but told him he had to kick it up to HR. This was in January. He emailed HR right away. A few weeks later he had followed up twice and finally gotten a response that they…

I work for a FAANG company and this week we’re getting our annual performance / comp info I was told I apparently negotiated well to come in on the very top of my pay band and because of that there’s 0 bump up this year and I’ll have to go for promotion to see any change. Okay fine I also asked what my company was going to do to fight inflation or how it factors into compensation Apparently it doesn’t and it bases what it pays people based on what other similar companies pay similar roles Sounds like to me all these companies could just get together and price fix these roles to avoid paying more and that this is quite bold for them to admit. Maybe I am ignorant? Just sounds like complete bullshit to me

So I worked minimum wage for a bit. The place I worked for was a coffee shop. There was a Christmas party that you had to pay to go to (I forget how much it costed) either way it was enough I didn't sign up. I was scheduled to work the day of the party because I didn't pay to go to it. Well only one other employee (he was 16 and new) was working with me. We had to take care of the the front and the drive-thru window by ourselves. We were still being timed for our service despite it only being us making all the drinks, food, serving, and running the register. We got so many angry customers complaining about how long it took. The worst part about it all? My manager sat in her office not helping at all watching stuff on her phone. Another thing,…

I'm in a dilemma about how I should handle what I feel is a bullshit situation. Basically the place i work for is not 10/10. The owner is disconnected, rich, and ignorant while everyone else is pretty great, but he makes things very difficult. My boss (head of the department) just put in his resignation and they started looking for a replacement. I have been with the company for about 1.5 years and want the position. There is no one else in our small three person team who “qualifies” (the other person is a graphic designer who does not want it and also doesn't know marketing). This is the next position as far as progression in this company for me goes, yet they are actively posting and searching for other candidates. I put my “name in the hat” but they will not give me a straight answer what so ever.…
