Antiwork

Straight from the front lines of the working people. After two years of no raises but increasingly more work, I talked to my manager about a pay raise. We use a system of numbers and letters to determine your pay class – mine is G1 and I wanted to be moved to G2. Two things happened. He started to laugh and reminded me that every position has a pay range. If my position doesn't go beyond G1, I won't get a raise – period. Of course he didn't know the range, so he blew that off for next week. Here's the kicker, the difference is 5% – pre-tax. After taxes it would be a whooping 4.3% raise. And he is acting like it's the biggest favor of his to consider it. The meeting concerning a yes or no will be next week. If he refuses, I'll have to either drop…

I’m gonna omit a lot of details here just in case, ya know. I work a somewhat unconventional but common job that entails me working in my employers home while they work from home. Their post claims I am 5-10 min late to work everyday and leave right on the dot or sometime 5 min early (literally ONE TIME) I am not 5-10 minutes late everyday. Maybe 3-5. Most jobs I’ve ever had offer a grace period. I will admit that I am just chronically 5 fucking minutes late everywhere but I show up and I do my job and do it well. As a semi jokingly side note —— I don't even believe in any morality to punctuality or the concept of “lateness' because time itself is fraudulently calculated. I've also seen some righteously on time people never actually show up at all, just there in principal, lmao. The…

The employee handbook how a company tells you everything you need to know about all the policies and shitty rules the hr department has come up with to screw over employees. Most companies hide this behind employee internal websites. Everyone should ask for and review these before showing up for a interview. It tells you all the ways a company will try to cheat you.

They fired my manager who had worked there for 22 years and was the glue holding my entire department together. Now everything is falling apart at work and I'm trying my best to keep things moving. I'm trying to teach other people how to do my job so I can actually take days off, but they are all vacant eyed slack jawed yes men ass kissers who don't pay attention when I talk. I managed to talk a former coworker into quitting her job and coming back to help me but now she's having to stay home with a sick child and even though I feel bad about that all I want the do is curse her out. I've got a goddam family too and I never get to spend time with them because I am always working. The worst part is I could walk less than half a mile…

I’ve been working at a drug testing company for some time now. I was only getting 15.50 an hour for doing DOT (department of transportation) tests. Following federal rules and guidelines but no federal pay. It’s a small company but they have over 5,000 clients so we are always extremely busy. I sent out an email to my manager about getting a raise since I feel I’m not properly compensated and all I got in return was “we’ll see”. I decided right then and there to turn in my letter of resignation. I thought that working for a small company would be better, turns out that greed comes in all shapes and sizes.

So I have 2 jobs? One is essentially fast food…the other is a liquor store. I love the liquor store solely because of the atmosphere. We have one employee who will sit in the back on his phone watching videos. I’m not going to lie I’m on my phone…when there’s no customers. I also do my job. Yet I’ve endured myself to the other employees…the owner’s daughter usually asks me if I want to cover a shift of someone who called in. Tonight was supposed to be off at 7. Someone called in so I picked the closing shift. The video guy came in round 8:30 saying he wanted more hours. I’ve been nice in the past & I’ve given a couple shifts away. But why is he saying it now? He has a car. That’s why I have 2 jobs. If he really needs hours get a 2nd job.…
