Antiwork

I've been working for a new company for about 3 weeks now. It's manual labor so it is taxing and has danger potential. Today I was operating a crane, I'm working by myself because we're shorthanded so no one urgently needed the crane. There's a heavy load attached to the crane and I guess I was being slow because one of the team leaders stopped me and started interrogating me. He kept saying “Are you switched on today?”. His demeanor was pissed and aggressive so I was really taken back by it because my initial thoughts on this particular person was positive, he was actually one of my favorites at work. I replied with “yes?” and “why? What did I do?” to which he just said “it's just a question, what are you doing? Are you switched on?”. He kept pushing the “switched on” part and I was really confused…

I wish I was the same optimistic young lad I once was, but society is becoming more of a rumble pit for seeing who can come out on top. We try go get fit, dress well, etc in the hopes of attaining higher level mates. We try to have the best resume, have the best interview with all the best buzz words and best tactics to get the interviewers to think we are the best candidate. We try to place the highest bids on houses that used to cost maybe 2.5-3 years worth of our total annual salary, but now for more like 5+ years our total salary. It's kind of exhausting. I just realized we don't get to just go to college, go work and have a wife and kids all while being like a middle ranked employee. Now it's more like you almost have to make it into…

It seems like tipping expectation went up about 5% during the pandemic and more types of transactions ask for a tip as part of the payment. For example, a local grocery store of mine now gives a tip option for purchases with a card. If this is truly optional, then I'm okay with it. But then will only tip if I experience exceptional service of some sort. Unfortunately it seems like a lot of service jobs rely on the tips to make them pencil out. While I support a general increase in wages for hourly workers, is more tipping really a good thing in the long run? I feel like we should generally have less tips and higher minimum wages. Tips seem to disproportionately favor those with charisma and can vary from front/back of house service jobs. Edit: When it comes to jobs that deserve tips, I think there should…

We don’t have a real punch in system we just write it down on a piece of paper. She showed up an hour late cause she got drunk af the night before and slept thru her alarm. Yet still wrote that she showed up at 7 rather than 8. She’s getting $38 (Sunday pay rate) for an hour she did nothing to contribute. She’s a bully and I keep getting fucked for being an honest person and I’m sick of it. But I’m nervous for the harassment I will get if I tell the boss on her. Is it worth it reddit??

so basically my school is more of focusing on ‘career readiness’ and ‘college readiness’. i guess they think being certified by being one of the two will make you ‘successful’ in life. i myself am considered college ready because i hit the benchmark on my ACT for my state or maybe nationwide-idk. but i do plan on going to college anyway. for the career readiness thing- oh boy. it’s like teachers want to enforce it on you- specifically my elective teachers. in my school, they expect you to have a career pathway based off of the electives you stuck with. so if you have mostly done culinary, your career pathway in high school would be culinary. idek what my career pathway was because i was just a student at that time before i found out what i wanted to do during my senior year. i chose my electives for fun.…

My fiancé is working from home, he has worked from home the pandemic started. He was working in the office before the pandemic. Now, over 2 years later his job wants him to go back to the office. They want them to go back so they can interact with each other. Not a single one of them cares for this. These jackass managers want employees that are fully capable working from home to go back to the office. What a bunch of asshats. What is the best solution here?
