Antiwork

Okay, so this has been happening for a while now. My supervisor gets incredibly defensive when we call out bullshit and just disregards our complains and makes sarcastic little comments like she's talking to 5yo that don't know any better. Yesterday, we were told that the system that keeps track of how many support tickets we close is not working properly and that every morning before our shift we have to check that very same system and fill out a form that keeps track of how many we closed the day before. Today I checked and submitted 6, all good so far. Later I had to teach a teammate how to do it, and the count was up to 33. I told my sup about it and she said she'd check it later. I asked her to check as soon as possible because if the real number is 33 and…

Reported it to boss, but now I know there is a group doing it, considering quitting because it keeps happening.

For the last few years I’ve maintained two jobs part time, one small family business and one large corp business, for the benefit of working with a small team who (I thought) appreciated and cared about me and one who gave be benefits and paid vacation. I always thought working for a small business was worth it and ‘not like other jobs’. After seven years I came into work to hear my boss (small business) degrading me and saying lies about me to a coworker. I (obviously) got angry, told them I deserve and apology or I’ll never be back and left. Never got an apology and never went back. This was at the end of November. Fast forward to now and I have yet to receive a W2 to file my taxes. I contacted them multiple times and couldn’t get a response other than ‘we sent it out in…

I was recently informed that a coworker and supervisor are leaving the agency. And another coworker possibly on the way out. Our office is small and there have been recent closures of buildings in the agency. I feel like everyone knew something except me, as to why so many are comfortably leaving. I am suspicious about any and everyone in general (my personality trait).

Find ways to sustain life without the almighty dollar It has been done, it could be done again. Think about it, just keep doing what keeps you and your loved one’s alive. What are they gonna do, arrest us for not needing their money?

Ok so some backstory ,after I've been put on hold from my other job back in Dec due to the warehouse not getting work and they said they give give me a call back in March.So I started to start to find a temporary job.I applied for a loading and uploading position though a job agency,came in their office and talked with them.I told them I wasn't bilingual,this will be important for later.Anywho like a week later,I got a call from them.Telling me they have a spot open, I took it but come to find out that I'm working what seems like a completely different position not loading and unloading instead it's packing I guess which I have no experience in but not 100% sure although I've been in the warehouse field for over year .Then they put me with people who don't speak English which is hard cuase of…

So I have a good job that I like, but because it's a 24 hr service I also have bad shift sleep disorder. I called today to get my FMLA fallows. Intermittent? Yes. Doctors appointment? None of your business. “We can't process the paperwork unless you answer.” Yes, doctor Then she read a disclaimer that basically states that the company is allowed to pursue you and take away your license if we see fit. Basically. I laugh and say the fact that the company is asking about my personal life is highly illegal. She retorts and say if you abuse it its not. I say of course, but a company is not allowed to get into my personal life. So question, am I wrong? I have the doctors appointment because I do have the issues. But I felt like none of there business. Or did I just dig my own…

And told us all that were we to do such a thing, it would hurt the bottom line and we would cost the industry millions of dollars. It felt really great to know they care so much

This could qualify as a LPT too. I have worked 6+ jobs since 2008, and never once has a recruiting agency helped me. In fact, I had multiple experiences where these agencies were a complete waste of time and energy. I hear and see a TON of recruiters on job boards and I want to share my experience working with this unregulated business model: Recruiting agencies get paid to send the “right” candidate, not the ones who apply. This means if you apply to a job on LinkedIn/Indeed you'll be placed in a pile of other candidates and the agency picks the “right” candidate Recruiters will usually label the job description “our client” or “we are seeking applicants” to modestly admit they are an agency without really saying so. Usually the job description and salary is a bit more appealing to get more applicants There's a slimy method in which…
