Antiwork

My workplace has been struggling to make a profit recently and they’re making a load of redundancies including me. But the thing is I’m not even annoyed at losing this job? I’ve been growing to hate it there – it’s boring and my manager kinda sucks. Only really stayed out of convenience and belief I had better job security. So really by forcing me out they’ve done me a favour. I can focus on my studies that they paid for and then probably walk straight into a pay rise at whatever new place I find. Looking forwards to the several months I have as a break too. Not even mad. I’ve been joking at work that I’m one of the lucky ones.

That’s all.

Hello all, I've been applying for jobs in the last few days since my current employer decided not to give me a very well deserve raise after 2 years without a raise. The positions I am applying for either have a big salary range such as “Between 60k and110k” Or no salary at all. So when applying, I go on Glassdoor to see what the positions pay and use that to put my “desired salary” in these applications. I've been rejected from 3 out of 27 companies I've applied to so far. The thing is I heard someone I know in one of those companies that the advertised salary of 70k-110k is misleading and the budget they have for the position is actually 70k a year. I did a bit more digging into it and it seems like a lot of companies do similar things when advertising a position. This…

I just found out recently that new hires in my company have been making more then me… significantly more. The upper management recently addressed this in a meeting and said we will all be starting at the same pay level if people are not making said wage. I am making a few cents more then a new hire with zero experience now and I feel so insulted but at the same time feel so guilty because I want to complain about the fact that I’ve been working here for years and am not valued as anything worth compensating. I can’t understand how I feel right now, I’m hurt and upset and feel incredibly stupid for wasting my life working 50-70 hours a week and it was to be valued as much as a new hire with zero experience. I wasted years of my life working here and have nothing special…

So…. how serious is the NO CEO thing? I mean, Is it ok if you're only technically the CEO, as long as you're also the janitor, handyman, cashier, stocker, and literally every other non management position that exists as well? Serious question, as I enjoy the sub, and appreciate the perspective it offers, but if I'm not welcome I'll show myself out. Hope everyone is having as happy and contented a day as possible.

I feel hopeless a lot these days, I don't want to work anymore. I dont want to deal with the nagging of my co manager anymore and I have so much responsibility pushed on me. I could get another job but i bet there isn't going to be a good job for me anywhere like the one i already have. Dispite some pressure and lesser pay. And yeah I don't get paid enough. I just got scammed almost $40 to, and I am so embarrassed that I was stupid enough to let that happen to me. I tried doing certain pictures for money but it made me feel to icky and men scare me. I think about death a lot because there might not be much suffering as life but I also don't want to die either.. why can't I just simply exist

I've been a delivery tech for a home medical company for almost 2 years. This means that I don't go home at a specific time at the end of the day, I go home when all our work orders are taken care of for the day. Some days it's at a decent time, others I'm working 12+ hours. When someone doesn't come in that work just gets put on the other drivers, because it still needs to be taken care of. We also have someone on call every day, and I've been scheduled on call all day Sunday and working Monday through Thursday. I came into work this morning and was told we no longer have one of our other drivers, so I'll have to take his on call on Tuesdays. I also have to come in and help on Fridays, which means Saturday is the only day I truly…

Hiring Manager emails me last week offering an interview. He says to let him know what days I’m available this week for a call. I reply within minutes of his email. Well, this week has already started, and Monday was one of the days I was available, yet I still have NOT received a reply! Funny how we’re expected to reply in minutes, yet they can’t be bothered to reply in days??? So I call in to HR to let them know, and he says he’ll reply to me by end of today. “Today” in terms of work hours has just about ended. Please don’t send out interview requests and then become unresponsive for fuck’s sake…you’re literally crushing in your hands the tiny amount of optimism and excitement I had to work for you.
