Antiwork

I recently left my job at Verizon for a number of reasons but this was the last straw for me. I had been working there for about 6 months and at that point most of the staff had quit and it was me and my district manager who came down about 3 days a week. I had been picking up the slack for a lot going on and was still very micro managed while he was there. I was sick one day (actually throwing up) and I told my boss I wasn't coming in but a new hire was supposed to be there so I agreed to go in for about an hour until he showed up. The new hire never showed up so I went home for that day and my boss said I could take 2 days if needed which I didn't do. I came in the next…

I applied to be an assistant to a DJ; I didn't think it was a thing but I was excited since I've always wanted to work in audio tech. It would be part time, min wage, weekends only, seasonal. Despite all this there was an extensive hiring process but the interviewer assured me that I was a top notch candidate and would most likely get the job. First interview on Zoom he was late to interview me but we hit off and scheduled a second one/onboarding. I enter the Zoom meeting at 5.03 when we had scheduled for 5.00 he informed me this tardiness made him reevaluate completely whether I was right fit, seeing as timeliness is a high value for him. I tried to explain it was 3 minutes and I had a group meeting that went a bit longer before hand. But no dice or leniency… I lost…

We work residential hvac. He and the dispatcher don't get along well. We don't get our calls ahead of time, leaving us unprepared for the day. He has to interagate her for info on the job to know how to properly charge. He is a bit snarky sometimes and comes off as rude. There was a project that was scheduled for one time slot that we knew would take nearly all day. He noticed and said something like “a bit optimistic for that place. That's gonna take all day and you added 4 more calls for me?” Well, that set the boss off. He told him to not even speak to her anymore. When he needs to close out and get a new call, only call boss. Boss is always in meetings, on calls, and doing estimates. Huge PIA for coworker when he needs basic info, like address conformation or…

People have to drive 15. 30, 45 or even an hour to work. Your traveling that long to at least work more than 5 hours. Gas may soon hit to 100 dollars to fill a full tank if it hasn't already in your area.

TLDR : how my previous boss lost one of his best designers on the shittiest project ever, while the workplace turns pretty bad with new hire setting bad morale. I am a french building engineer living in Denmark. I have lot of experience in design (AutoCAD) but I am bored as fuck. For at least two years I have been hitting my boss (verbally speaking) to put me in engineer position. But he always refused and instead hired other engineers. Even newly educated, which made me furious. All that because I worked fast and quite good (I never pretended that I was the best, but I was for sure the fastest and worked pretty well with the other departments). So he maintained me in a design position. I could not quit on a whim, overwise I would have. I almost did it. Twice. Last year I began to get better…

So my sister (31F) has been looking for a job because she wants to phase out of caregiving and yesterday she interviewed at a printing place and was hired and started today. She was pretty excited that she found something close to home and the owners were super nice and she really liked the vibe of the place and was ready to work. She called me on her break to tell me that everything was going really well but she might not stay, and when I asked why she told me that the lady doing the designs came up to her and in an incredibly rude manner told her not to put sticky notes on the forms she was filling out because she couldn't stand them. My sister immediately told her that if she had a problem with them she could talk to the owners who trained her because they…

I work for a pretty big company. Over the last year, I have been put in some extremely stressful work situations that severely compromised my mental and physical health (they dangled a raise over my head and then told me I can't have one because no one else gets one after making me work overtime for three months straight and then having to apply to keep my own job). I am in a state of pretty severe burnout and am trying to take disability leave/get accommodations, and that process alone is crazy stressful because HR at my company is the worst. I have been going down every avenue possible of trying to get help (and understanding my rights), and today I called the HR-sponsored Employee Wellness service. Only to be told that they cannot help with any work-induced burnout, stress, or mental health issues because it is “a conflict of…
