Antiwork

As I sit in my car before my 8 hours of work, I can't help but think what my CEO is doing on this lovely Easter Sunday. I could be spending my day with my family but instead I have to be in a warehouse for the day. They rubbed $114,000 in sales yesterday but still couldn't be bothered to let us have this time with our loved ones. Oh, and we get a pizza party for our hard work yesterday. Just a reminder that you are nothing more than a number who makes more numbers for your boss. Invest in yourself, not these assholes. Happy Easter

I love it when companies try to glamorize a shitty job by trying to make the job description or title sound fancy. Any winback sales specialists among us? Any hospitality ambassadors around to greet you at your local fast food joint? What's the most over-the-top job title or description you've ever heard or read? What are some that made you cringe?

Is there something already in the works? Where would one begin?

I recently was forced to transfer locations at work by corporate after i made them aware of the dozens of fake numbers texting me terrible things about myself while at work. The messages involved a work project (I’m a illustrator/designer and create artwork) and specific male coworker names nobody outside of work knows. The messages told me to k*ll myself, that I was a worthless whore, that I think I’m so talented but I’m not, that it’s so fun to make the shy girl all all scared and nervous, that nobody wants me around, etc. paragraphs upon paragraphs, ones accusing me of getting plastic surgery. I blocked and blocked and they just kept making new numbers. I’m 22, the youngest woman at my brand by 15 years minimum. At the beginning, I was immediately greeted with standoffishness and constant comments by the other women at work. But eventually I began…

Recently someone wrote a post about replacing the current exploitive gig economy companies. It was upvoted to the top list. A few days later, someone else wrote a piece excoriating the first for pretending that an exploitive structure could be reformed if only they were at the top. It was upvoted to the top list. I do think the gig economy is exploitive, and while I wouldn't want to do it under the current terms, I drove for Uber back when the pay was better, and I enjoyed many of my trips. Some passengers just wanted a quiet ride, but others wanted to chat and I learned a lot and enjoyed those rides. Thinking about the two recent posts, it seems that an obvious solution would be to form a driver owned co-operative to compete with the established/abusive players. Since rideshare and delivery are capital intensive and the drivers provide…

So the title pretty much says what the problem is. I’ll just give some context so I can get some good opinions and advice. This is a throwaway account as I’m not sure if anyone else at my workplace uses Reddit. I’ll give as much info as I can without revealing where I work because again, I don’t know if anyone at work uses Reddit. So I work at a car dealership in the US in the state of North Carolina, I give this much info because I don’t know the labor laws in North Carolina and that may come into play. Anyways, my sales managers have implemented a rule that if you aren’t on track to sell a certain number of cars for the month by the middle of the month then you forfeit your days off for the rest of the month. First off, that is not what…

My mom says it is. Is it?
