Antiwork

Hey everyone. Sorry to bother as I’m more of an observer here than anything else. I have looked this up on citizens information and all over the web but can’t find a definitive answer so I thought I would tickle your brains for a bit. Unfortunately, right off the bat, I currently work in customer service. In our job we have a bonus scheme where, depending on our scores at the end of each month, we get a certain amount in a bonus. Max is €200 per month for the most tenured agents (myself) Thing is, the system for scoring us is incredibly flawed and almost set up in a way to immediately give us a disadvantage. It is incredibly unfair. I have outlined this to my manager recently In the most detailed way possible (pretty much left her speechless and showed her things she herself never even knew about…

One lady “Allison” said she'd applied for over 22 jobs in retail and fast food but kept getting told her schedule wasn't open enough because she can't work Sundays or Wednesday nights. She's looking for part-time, like 20 hours a week and can't even get a job in fast food.

She lamented that everyone is so short staffed, but not willing to work with a schedule. I popped off with “well they just want to monopolize your time in addition to paying you as little as possible. An “open” schedule is impossible if you are looking for a second job”….. I surprised…
