Antiwork

i worked somewhere for about 2-3 weeks in 2021 and realized i had not received any of my tax return info fir them about three weeks ago. so i wrote them an email, waited a few days, no response. i finally call and wasnt able to be helped until about the 5th time time i called (i was consistently told to call back at a different time and every time i did was just referred to a later time once again). the manager i spoke with said she had read my email, and was just waiting for the business’s accountant to be back in office hours (i called on a friday so i thought maybe they just had extended weekend hours). i found that weird because each place ive worked at just had that information on file, as well as why would you need to contact an accountant for forms…

So I just had a moment that just belongs in this thread. My team works a major account for one of the biggest government contractors in the country. Our pay has been frozen for the last 2 years. It is also one of those situations where there are very few people as part of the prime contract holder and the super majority resides with sub contractors. Today my subcontractor had the prime director of the project on the call. Our big question as you might guess was pay increases. Well it read like a 3 act play from a capitalist bard. Act one. Acknowledge that pay is the main reason for morale lows and attrition. Fine so far you can read exit interview answers from HR. Act Two. Blame not getting raises on the bureaucracy and red tape. Like anyone on my side has not heard that a million times…

The fact that you're supposed to spend most of your week around people you did not choose to be around with, whom you don't like and would otherwise not interact with? How is this the norm, not the other way around where we would spend most of our time with our friends and family, loved ones?

I just couldn’t do it anymore, I couldn’t reconcile getting auto loans for people. I just need to exit the whole financial sector and do something that doesn’t make me feel like I’m part of the problem. It all started when I wondered aloud, what’s the interest rate in Heaven and from there it sorta followed its logical progression.

I work for a moving company and I clock out and soon as I’m done because I’m assuming they would respect the rounding system, but I noticed that when I was all finished just 4 minutes before 6pm they decided to round my time down to a 545pm, I know it’s just 15 minutes of work but if this is happening consistently it definitely is gonna add up. I’m just curious if this is violating any laws or if it’s just a dick move? I live in British Columbia, Canada
