Antiwork

So over the weekend I was bored at work, so I started applying to a few different jobs on indeed and also at a few other well known companies to see if there was any jobs that interest me. Low and behold come Monday and I’m being bombarded with calls through out the day and I now have 6 interviews scheduled throughout the week; which kind of left me optimistic, but also worried to as why there was so many companies desperate to give me an interview, even though during the past I’d be lucky to get 1 interview during the week. One manager in particular basically begged me for an interview. I received a text from a manager from a moving company. To which I have nearly over 3 years of prior experience in that industry and over my tenure there I received raises that put me at $17…

My thought is they are voluntarily taking themselves out of the workforce and most covid deaths are within the unvaccinated. Doesn't this strengthen the leverage of workers since there are less supply of workers? I don't know what is r/antiwork position on vaccines. I just thought that it's interesting that Anti-Vax are ironically fighting for better working conditions for everyone.

As the title suggests: why do I keep hearing people can’t qualify for a mortgage? Two years ago at 24, 4 months into a new job in a new state with no prior home ownership/rental history I qualified. My only debt was 6-figures of student loans. I put zero down on a new home and qualified with no hassle. This isn’t a humble brag, I just genuinely don’t understand what is precluding “so many people” from qualifying for a mortgage. Perhaps it’s not as widespread as it seems, or maybe there are other conditions contributing to that problem.

I work overnight for an airport in Kentucky and tonight we had some severe weather in the form of lightning storms which caused us to shut down the ramp for a while. 0152-0222, and 0230-0245. During this time one of our ramp managers made the call that this downtime would be our lunch. I pointed out to our supervisor that this would be in violation of Kentucky’s laws regarding breaks and meal periods, which states “In no case shall an employee be required to take a lunch period sooner than three (3) hours after the work shift commences” and the response I got was, verbatim, “Copy, from said higher up “go to HR if need be but this is operational need for this weather”. “ I know HR isnt actually going to do anything, as others have complained about this before and it’s a recurring issue. I was wondering if…

How many applications do you do a week and also do you call in sick ir take the day off for when u have a interview. Ive used too many PTO and sick leaves so far at my current place and only have a few annual leaves left. What do i do. Also, is it really so wrong for ne to quit my job. I feel so guilty especially with my parents. The current job is not my career choice and i would also like time off to learn other things such as trading and ACCA. But my parents are just gonna be annoyed that i will quit without a next job ready. For context i live with my parents and i graduated 10months ago. I do a admin job for past 7/8 months. I want to get into accounting. 21yo

So last week I emailed my boss saying I was bringing my stuff home cause I doubted I'd be able to make it in safely the next day due to weather. I can do my job almost completely from home. Schools were closed, ect. I tried getting my vehicle out of our driveway and we'll that wasn't happening. So I let him know I was right can't make it in, I have all my stuff I'll work from home. He said no just take a PTO day. Like what the fuck you dumbass. Well morale of that because of his dumbassery we lost a huge customer because I refused to answer the phone cause I was on PTO. Is this something I can do about this?!
