Antiwork

I'm a damn hard worker. I've worked ever since I turned 15, and always put my all into it. I've done dishwashing, housekeeping, cook, retail… I loved my last job, but I had to leave after my chonic knee pain got too bad to stand for that long (drs ignored my pain for 7 years. I finally found out it's a fracture but that's a different lament). I thought I found something better. Work from home, better pay, better benefits. But it's a call centre. I'm autistic and have severe anxiety. My phone skills have gotten so much better, but not to the level it's needs to be. I can't eat, sleep, or do anything to function because of this job. I know I have assets, and I do bring value, but I don't think anywhere agrees. I have always been in moderate to extreme discomfort with every job I've…

I am a mechanic in a dealership. Our car lifts do not get inspected and we are no provided with any accesible first aid kits. I don't understand how the owner is getting away with this. I could report it to OSHA but it's not anonymous. Can I possibly address this inconspicuously?

Just curious, how many of you are or know someone who is truly happy at their job? It seems that this is a very scarce item in today’s world. The only person I know who is truly happy at their job is my brother. He only makes $14/hr but has 100% paid medical, company paid lunch every day, and can take off pretty much whenever he wants so long as there isn’t a pressing need for full staffing.

I applied to a job a few months ago in a field that genuinely interests me. Poured my soul into that cover letter and did various online tests. Never got called to an interview and got an email that they had chosen a different candidate for the position. Whatever…went on with my life. A few weeks later the company contacted me wondering if i’d be interested in interviewing for a position very similar to the one i initially applied to. Sure i said. Prepared for the interview. Interview went well, they asked for references and seemed really positive. A week later they contacted me and said that the candidate they want is someone with an engineering degree (i have a bachelor’s degree in a different field and in the original job advertisement they wrote that all you need is a high school degree). So they’re gonna keep looking for that…

I've been unemployed for 7 months now. Got an offer this week that was 30% below the bottom of my desired range. Made a counteroffer but the company wasn't willing to compromise at all. Running out of savings. Will most likely end up homeless pretty soon but oh well, rather be homeless than continue to be undervalued most likely by some old ass white boomer. On to month 8 of unemployment… wish me luck

For background. I currently work as a customer service adviser in a call centre, dealing with finance. Couple of weeks back, I applied for a back of house role with investment company, which involved processing payments/looking after nest-eggs etc. About a week ago, i got an interview with them and was glad to get out away from dealing with people and working with figures (which is the stuff that i like about my current job). In the interview, They asked me questions like “what is your proudest moment?” and “when did you exceed expectations?”. I did the textbook thing, where I used my current job as reference & source of examples. Finish the interview, believing it went well. Just got the callback earlier today from the hiring manager. She told me “you came across very well and would seem like a good fit for our company, however we felt you…

I’ve had shut jobs my whole adult life, 15 years basically, and I’m working on becoming a self made man someday. If I do make it I’ll be damned if I don’t use every fucking tax loophole in existence to keep as much of my money as possible.

Recently the management position I have been aiming for has opened up due to a restructure in the company, I was promised 2 years that I would be next in line. Today I found out that they gave the position to someone who has no experience running a shipping department and management gave the typical excuses when I asked what their reasons were, this is the second time they have done this. For the passed two years I have been running the department as team lead, I broke several company records during this time. I've consistently put out $2m a month for them and optimized the shipping process. Management always tells people to ask me about anything shipping related because I know everything. But give me the excuse that I still need more experience. Thinking about walking out on monday when they change over the guys title. Or should I…
