Antiwork

I will preface this by saying I've changed a lot in 5 years. 2017 Someone could tell me the sky is green I'd awkwardly nod yes and exclaim “of course it is!”. My boss did something similar I went from being an hourly employee to a contracted one. I made sure it went through my LLC so I could get decent tax breaks. The agreed upon rate was 30% of gross sales. This was a verbal agreement, I have in wrIting 35% of gross sales. With someone not comfortable questioning authority, I said nothing about this. Each year the percentage would go up. He'd ask me verbally “do you want to make 35%?” ” do you want to make 40%?” It capped at 40. No other contract was ever signed and the location had changed. The written contract included an address to the location I'd be getting a percentage of.…

I just spoke with a rep with Grainger who helped me get the part i need to fix my bathroom sink at home shipped to my store for me to pickup tomorrow morning! Just wanted to shout out that rep in case he's in here and spread a little positivity today. I'm getting shit done today and feeling good and just wanna share the love! Thanks to that guy for his help! I left you good feedback on your survey cuz as a former rep, i know that surveys can really affect the reps performance review scores and daily metrics and whatnot. If you gotta call customer service, remember they are people too. Sometimes it seems like people forget and treat reps like robots or like they are personally responsible for whatever issue you might be having. Most csrs, even in the US are paid the minimum wage wherever they…

What are your opinions on the work-life balance that working in corporate offers? How does the system affect your quality of life and mental well-being? What would you want to be different and why?

Storytime. I've posted a few times about the good job that I have, working for Zillow, screening calls and scheduling tours and shit like that. Decent pay, decent leadership, decent hours and schedule and, most importantly, laid back and relaxed customers. Very few people are calling in, pissed off at all. You get one every week or so, but nearly none at all. So, we come into work and a bunch of us get taken off the phones and brought into a Zoom…and told that we'd done a great job and the program was being ended. Womp womp. Now, I've already put in my 2 weeks notice as of last week, moving on to a better paying job that offers close to $20 an hour for doing data entry and assistance for health insurance. So, I'm cool as a cucumber as I listen to the rest of the room, in…

I have a new manager at my shitty low paying job and I don’t want my status quo to change at all. I’ve got a great inefficient routine going on where I can devote a few hours everyday studying for my CS degree. I don’t want him to catch on. Wondering if y’all have tips to make it seem like your always busy/have plenty of work to do already at work? Thanks.

Sorry for the rant, im just in a bad mood. I was in a bit of a dilemma, my car had a flat and i was at my dads house (50/50 custody) so I was got a drive to work from my dad. I didn't have my uniform as it was at my mom's house and the door was locked, I didn't have my keys because I hadn't taken my car from my moms to my dads and no one was home. They said i couldn't work without it, I went and looked downstairs at work to see if there were any extras and found a shirt and shoes but no pants. I offered to do dishes in back but still no. And now I'm probably gonna get a write up for a no show. I feel bad, not for dons, fuck them, but my fellow employees who are now…

is this for real? they can do this? I should have read my contract for this year more closely, but I've been working at the same company for 5 years and this was not in the contract when I started. for context: most educators elect to get paid on a 9-month basis or 12-month basis. You don't technically get “paid” over the summer months, they simply make your paychecks smaller and stretch them out for longer. I chose the 12-month option. Quit in March. Now finding out I won't get paid for June, July, or August, despite having worked 2/3 of the school year. I assumed I would get a sum of money proportional to my time worked (i.e., 2/3 of summer pay). I wasn't getting paid a lot but MAN it still don't feel right. https://preview.redd.it/dok0i3yyuxu81.png?width=1482&format=png&auto=webp&s=3ca3561164f465858ad6b09c9631f3996b538ba0
