Antiwork

I worked as a director for a company for four long, draining years. I did EVERYTHING for that place, I was told by my staff that I was always fair and they enjoyed working with me at my going away function. I left when I found out that I was earning 3/4 less than the other 3 directors who did nothing, and I fulfilled around 3 roles. Fast forward 3 years later and the place is a mess. New hires don’t last more than 6 months, their biggest client left, people in the industry keep complaining about them. While I’m not the sole reason for the success of the place, I didn’t treat my employees like pieces of garbage, and I believe that this is the new status quo since I’ve left. Shit got done and complaints got swiftly dealt with. Fuck bad managers and fuck fat cats sitting earning…

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy’s compensation valued at $213 million in 2021

Put in my two weeks as an April fool's joke. It's April 2nd and I wanted to cancel the notice since it was an April fool's joke. They're not letting me cancel it. This is just surreal! Really having thoughts just walking out

With the first Amazon warehouse getting unionized (hurray!) I did see one comment thread talking about, basically “all companies need a union. Except the police. Fuck their unions” and I didn't really understand why that was?

I work in downtown Buffalo, NY just for reference for cost of living. I work in the headquarters of a rather large bank on the Teller Line and we all have to pay to park. There is a big parking lot in the basement but 90% of the spots are reserved for executives so all of us working downstairs with the public have to park and we pay $89 A MONTH to do so and it’s the cheapest option. I know how fucking shitty this is but I’m curious how normal it is for people who work in the city.

I work in Florida, for context. In FL there is no law saying my last paycheck needs to be received by a certain time, unfortunately, but after working at this place for 5 years I saw a lot of employees come and go and their last paychecks consistently get “lost in the mail” (GM has even laughed about this with little air quotes, he's an asshole). I gave a notice but they were difficult the entire time, and even cancelled my direct deposit the day before payday so it would come to the workplace as a physical check. the assistant GM confirmed in a text that it was dropped in the mail last week, but I called Department of Labor in preparation just to get answers and they said wait one whole week and call back if it still hasn't showed up. Yesterday was a week later, nothing. On top…
