Antiwork

Hey, folks! Wanted to share my experiences at the moment with my current employer, a large organization all over the country that operates gyms and might have a song named after them. I've been here for about six years and put so much energy, blood, sweat, and tears into doing the work. But every year, shit gets worse and worse; I've had about 10 bosses in just under 3 years, and been turned down for opportunities for being paid like a decent human being. Well, in 2020, they banned cashing out PTO when you leave. In 2021, they reduced carryover hours from 160 hours of PTO to 120. And during that time, they fought me on trying to take a month off through PTO and not use Leave of Absence/FMLA instead. Today I find out 2022 policy is now you can only take two weeks of PTO at a time…

I'm job hunting in prep for a move, and a job just reached out to me. The job is 45 minutes' drive from where I'm planning to live. I think I'm going to tell them I'm interested, but I need more money to consider that commute, so I'm adding $10/hr to what I'd normally ask for(basically a 40% increase) We'll see what they say to that!

Monday – Friday 4 fucking hours a day! Who in the fuck wants to work part time five fucking days a week. I am so sick of every part time job doing this. Its like every single employer took common sense and said “how can I reverse this to make this job as backwards and unreasonable as humanly possible”. /rant

So, I’ve been on Reddit for a few years now and this is my first post, it’s kinda long so I’m sorry. The past 7 months or so I had been working as a food server at a small restaurant. The owners own 5 or 6 restaurants, and were hardly ever around. I enjoyed the position, I really liked my coworkers (for the most part) and I got paid about 25-30$ an hour from tips and being a hood and kind person. I knew this was not going to be a career though because I am currently in college to be a high school chemistry teacher (because I hate money and I never want to have enough of it). So, enough background. In December the owners fired the general manager and replaced him with one of the servers. She had been working there for maybe 5 months, had never had…

Not like we just had record inflation or anything so employees shouldn't need a bump, right? Management is trying to 'shut down' that expectation for all employees

I’m looking for advice. I’m on mobile so apologies for any weird formatting. I’m feeling so burnt out at my job. I hate it and I hate the company that I work for. I’d like to leave, but am waiting to line something else up. As I said, I’m burnt out, depressed, and constantly struggling to find the motivation to do my work. I work from home right now which I’m sure doesn’t help my mental health. I can go a week or more without ever leaving my apartment. For all of these reasons, I was really looking forward to taking a little bit of time off this summer to go on a vacation at a national park with my family (who live in another state). Part of the reason for the trip is to celebrate some of my brother’s recent accomplishments. I asked for 4 days off about 3.5…

I'm leaving an absolutely toxic job. My boss is an asshole; he regularly insults me, i get given the worst jobs to do, and I'm forced to stay hours past my aggreed upon finishing time. Also, whilst in the office, he said to the rest of them, “he would be better suited as a patient in a care home than work in one.” I have one week for ideas to make working there a living hell. I have thought of putting tuna into stock so it stinks up the place, but I need a lot more ideas.
