Antiwork

Alright…the more I've sat on it, the angrier I've gotten. Full disclosure. I sell cars for a living. I run our internet department, and we all work 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. I've been here long enough to have some seniority in the sales staff, and for the last two years I've led our entire group of 5 dealerships in both unit and revenue. You'd think that would allow for some flexibility with me. Some of my Boss' favorite sayings are “sucks to be a salesman” and “Why should I congratulate you for doing your job?”. Great guy, right? Well, my wife was out of town for work last week. I already had Saturday scheduled off, and the week prior, I told my boss that depending on when my wife's flight landed on Friday, I might not be here Friday afternoon. His response? “I don't see what…

Title says it all. The market is hot and job sites need to do more to moderate the openings being posted. Candidates are going to return to platforms that provide assurances of quality opportunities over sites with deceptive employers.

I started on friday. That makes two days working today. OH MY GOD. WHAT KIND OF A JOB AND TOXIC ENVIRONMENT IS THIS? The second i open my program i have to call. Without a pause. Without one second pause. Nonstop calling. 150-250 people a day with angry annoyed people. When i finally find someone willing to actually do a survey with me, the program crashed and i got scolded. All my calls are monitored by my superior, and they find the smallest shit to be mad about. The respondent says they don’t do surveys? Well i need to insist like an idiot, try to change their mind while they scream at me, push them into giving me a number for THEIR superior and then saving the number and i am supposed to call them in two weeks because “they won’t remember me and there’s a possibility they will change…

I've been working at this company for three years. I enjoy it and I love the company. I even often tell my friends about the product. I'm a big advocate for this company. Last summer there was a reorg which transitioned me to the team that I previously escalated to. At the time I was told that there will not be any additional compensation “at this time.” Over the past year I've taken more responsibilities and handled escalations from my old colleagues.I even took on some responsibilities for a coworker who quit recently. Curiously, I found saw the job posting for the open position (my same title) on Glassdoor and saw that the company was offering 30k more than what I'm currently being paid. On top of that, I learned that other roles on my current team and some roles on my old team were being compensated significantly more than…

I started a new job recently and learned that they don't provide a lunch break. HR told me that whatever time I take for lunch during the day needs to be made up at the end of the day. I've never experienced this before and was surprised to find out that New Jersey law states that employees are not entitled to a lunch break. We all work from 9 to 5, not taking a break because we don't want to stay late. Everyone eats at their desk so nobody socializes. I realize that this isn't nearly as toxic as other work environments explained on this sub, but I felt the need to vent and this seems like the best place. Maybe I'm just spoiled because my last employer gave us an hour break during our 9 to 5 schedule, which really helped me recharge. I should probably count my blessings…

I think I'm going to start a antiunion consulting firm. Pay me $4m to tell you to pay your employees a decent wage.
