Antiwork

Background: I'm a “supervisor” with a team of 5 people including me. We work 12 hour shifts, 24/7 operation. I say “supervisor” with quotes becuase, although I've been filling the role for almost a year now, It won't be official until April. My team consists of me (30) and 4 others who age range 34-71. Two day shifters, two night shifters and one swing. The older members, more so the 71 year old, constantly takes sick days/fmla and i end up covering her hours. For reference, 10 days in the last 6 months (and growing) with 4 late arrivals as well (1-2hours late) and thats just the 71yr. Tonight, the 71yr is out on extended leave due to a recent injury (thursday) and another member is taking a day off for bereavement, unfortunately. I have one member currently working day shift 12 hrs, so that leaves me and one other,…

Hi, Reddit. I notice that most of the post come from within the USA so don’t know how relevant my post will be coming from Sweden. But I found inspiration within this subreddit to stand up more for myself and the poor working conditions of summer jobs and I feel the need to share my experience because sometimes I doubt if it is me who expect too much or that I am indeed working in poor conditions. Judge for yourself (also, excuse my english. I’m not a native): So the thing is, I am currently looking for summer jobs and desperatly don’t want to go back to elder care (but I fear I might have to if I don’t get accepted anywhere else and get very anxious about it because I do NOT want to return to the same work place). I have no problem with the work itself, it…

I work as an engineer for a company but when i started i was employed as a cable puller but soon after they noticed what i was capable of doing so they quickly moved me to a different department thats more work but pays alot more. I was told when my 6 months probation finishes i could apply for the role i was doing and get the correct wage. Well my probation was up 4 months ago i applied for the role and was rejected for the job i do. The reason the company has hired to many people and they need to reshuffle there staff. So im doing a job which i aint contracted to do for alot less. My job title is so loosly based but in the company every one knows what it is but it could mean anything put in the righy context. I also had…

Fuck this. I’m losing out on vital time for work that likely will result in us losing a 5 figure grant for next year all because they want a 5 person team to do a ‘relax and rejuvenate’ retreat at our corporate office filled with bullshit ice breakers. So you can fly 3 people in and by multiple meals for this dumb shit but you can’t get 3 hotel rooms? It’s 5 fucking nights. I’ve never met this woman. I don’t want to share a room. I need my own time separate to just relax and decompress. This is my personal fucking hell

I'll try to keep this short, it's just very nice to finally have my own story to share. I work for an absolutely horrible supervisor. Mean. Untrusting. Unkind. Emotionally manipulative. People I've spoken to outside of work have described experiences with them as “emotionally scarring” and like “emotional whiplash.” Paranoid (thinks coworkers are constantly out to undermine their “power”). Weird (has asked me directly for “loyalty” to them). They're super stressed, and take it out on the people they supervise. They don't respect other people's time at all. I had a 1:1 scheduled, it got cancelled last minute. Rescheduled for the next day. Cancelled again. Friday shows up I'm sitting in the meeting and a half hour of staring at the screen, their assistant calls me to say hey your boss can't make it. That happens often, never even so much as a “sorry about that ” I'd wake up…

I'm trying to WFH but no matter what ALL wfh jobs in my area are call center style jobs, and I don't have what it takes to be on a phone all day. Anyone have any ideas? I literally cannot find other options for wfh.

I really help on this one I’m starting to get desperate. Last year from June-July I was going through a 30 day probation to become a package delivery driver. On my 31st day of driving I got disqualified even though I already had passed my probation. My manager was claiming that I only did 26-27, which is far off. I called the union my business agent I told him about my situation. I told my business agent the only way I can think of the days that didn’t count as working day is holiday July 4th, he said it doesn’t matter it still counts. Then, I told my business agent what my manager told me, the first day of my probation when I was with a driver according to the manager it doesn’t count, but my business agent said it doesn’t matter as long I’m wearing a brown uniform it…

To me, that is what I got out of that part of Biden's speech We know the real reason is CONTROL Not only is remote work better for workers ITS BETTER FOR THE ENVIRONMENT I mean I don't think the environment can tell us any more bluntly without flat out imploding that the status quo is not sustainable???? (Tsunami's , hurricanes, rising temperatures, melting ice caps, rising oceans, species going extinct, the list goes on….)

I work for a company that owns a string of restaurants. We recently are opening a new restaurant that is not fully open yet, but are holding pop up events. People will buy a ticket and have unlimited supply of alcohol/food. We have pulled 3 people from one of our sister restaurants to work the event. I being one of them. All three people are doing the same exact job (bartending, replenishing food, bussing). I was told we get paid 12/hr and was bummed considering I make more than that on a Friday night at the restaurant I work at but oh well, we have our tipshare jar! I put at least $80 dollars into the jar thinking we were all pooling. The end of the night comes and the other person turns to me and says “I don’t think we’re doing a pool”. Turns out no, one person gets…
