Antiwork

Tipped workers seem to get incredibly offended if you suggest that tipping is immoral cause restaurant owners should pay their workers a living wage without having to depend on tips. I think a lot workers assume that if you complain about tipping, it suggests that you don’t tip and that you don’t wanna tip in general. The point people are trying to make isn’t that we shouldn’t have to tip, it’s that employers should pay their workers more, AS WELL as us willingly giving tips. Not either or. If employers start paying waiters more, I will gladly keep tipping cause restaurant workers are giving a personalized service. So I will support the movement to give restaurant workers a higher wage and I will keep tipping even if their pay increases.

Obviously the main issue is our wages. People WANT to work for a good paying job. People would work better if they were paid more. When are people gonna decide that we need to teach the elites that we are done? If wages kept with inflation we should make 25+ per hour. Mfers are paying us 10 bucks an hour to break our backs. When are people gonna do something?

This entire thread is giving me life. This is a bit long but I need to get it off my chest. I was recruited to this new company from my old one to build a very difficult and politically sensitive program. I was told from the beginning that there was a good chance that it wouldn't work, so it would not reflect poorly on me if things didn't work out. I have two bosses, one is amazing and the other was the one who recruited me and was previously a friend and I am absolutely done with her after this. For this program, after she got into ONE argument with one of the groups involved, completely bailed on the program, leaving me to sort out everything. I was living with my dad during COVID and the only reason I managed to get through all of this was because of him.…

there was a post in here the other day that had this quote and boy, do i relate. i work 40 hours a week and sometimes i feel like i would SAVE money not going to work and i am so tired. i was on break at what is about to be my former job trying to buy some snacks and food for my dog (without checking my account first) then realized a bunch of bills had come out at one time. so i had to put some of the stuff back. went back to my desk and continued to play/watch ads on Klover for an hour for points towards a cash advance. but everyone knows payday loan apps usually end up costing more than its worth. then after asking some family that i have asked to borrow from before for gas money to get to an interview, (they couldn’t…

After working at Waffle House and slowly being radicalized, mid-pandemic, insane hours, base pay well below minwage and hardly enough tips to feed myself outside of work after my shift was changed to second, I've pretty much become a radical. I've always been a leftist, but these sorts of things just drive me nuts. So my new hobby has become working at a fast food job just long enough to basically get the whole restaurant to strike, then quitting when they need me most. For instance, I worked at DQ for a while, they gave me shit hours and pretty much only brought me in to unload truck and sweep. It was grueling work, and they had no sympathy for the fact that I fell down a flight of stairs in the rain and nearly broke my back/ribs. Lift those 50 pound boxes and twist… Now go home after you…
