Antiwork

I applied to a highly skilled job. I got told the rate was 20 an hour which is insanely low but I figured the experience would be good for me resume and I need money. I did a 2 and a half hour phone interview and a 2 hour technical interview. They said I was one of the only people to complete the tasks on the technical side and I made it to the top 3. They then called me a week later and said that I was so close and they wanted to let me know the pay was actually 16 an hour for some potential 3 hour shifts and I’d have to take tests to get 18 an hour and then get approved for 20 after 4 months. Should I just bail?

All those fires in the middle of the night that I should be tending to? I’m just swiping away those notifications. Their slimy management only hurts their customers. They never said anything to me yet, so I know they know they’re in the wrong here. If they say something to me about this, I’m going to put them on blast.

it wasn't a terrible part-time job, and I was grateful for the (+$1/hr) raise, but i was also exhausted. I have some savings and I'm very lucky to be in a financial situation where it's ok for me to take a break from work for a little while. I was super anxious to send the message, but even though my boss hasn't answered yet I feel like a weight has been lifted off of me already. ️

So as the title says.. don't feel bad for asking for what your worth! I just got a 5 dollar raise and I deserve it! I work long hours and always say yes to a project and I was 5 dollars under the average. Your boss knows what your worth I looked straight in my bosses eyes when I said no to a 3 dollar raise and stood up for myself! I have never seen an employer look scared and I knew it was time to shoot so I did.. and I got it Eyes and nose to the floor he said I understand and I got it! If it's not enough say so! It's a workers market everyone wants professional work but no one wants to pay! Let's change it!

Anyone else heard the stupid phrase “Money can’t buy happiness”? Yeah, bullshit. I’ve been dirt poor trying to just scrabe by, living off of ramen. Now I have a great job paying 6 figures and I’m able to not have to stress or worry about money. For me happiness is the freedom to do whatever I want, whenever I want. And my goal to reach financial independence has taught me that happiness is subjective. Saying “money can’t buy happiness” is just as dumb as saying “mcdonalds can’t make you fat” Just because a concept applies to you, doesn’t mean it applies to everyone. Happiness is subjective. And having enough money, is gonna definitely buy a lot of people happiness! My point of all of this, is that the phrase has been said by 2 people. 1) rich people who says this to their poor workers making minimum wage to ensure…

I work a production job. We were promised when we got a 3rd shift going we'd not be working Saturdays anymore. Third shift started and has been running for 8 months. We finally stopped working 10s two months ago. But we're still working Saturdays. They then told us, “when the new machine is running, the OT will stop.” Well, starting today we're running the new machine 20 hours a day and that means we're all back to working 5x10s and an 8 on Saturday. We're told when our other new machine comes in May, the OT will stop. About 1/3 of my shift is looking for a new job now.
