Antiwork

I’d like to know if anyone can relate to this. I am currently working in the hotel industry. This is my third hotel job and I have decided to quit this coming Friday. I have left every single one of my previous jobs with a lot of drama. My current job too. It always goes the same: I start to work for a company. I’m excited, I want to prove myself, I work hard. I do that for a couple of months/years, and then something happens, like someone whom I’ve trained gets the promotion I was promised, or I get a shit manager, or they change my schedule or work activities completely so the job doesn’t match my wants and needs anymore. And then I start shitting where I eat. I become rude to managers, get snarky, passive aggressive, I ruin my reputation. Just because I don’t feel valued anymore…

I feel like I am going a little crazy trying to find a restaurant position and was wondering if others have had this experience? I have responded to over 25 server positions that are advertised as “hiring” and have had no luck at all. My experience is not recent and I have not held a position in CA, but I have over 8 years experience prior to moving here. I have even written cover letters to submit with my resume to address this and often I do not get as much as even a reply. Of the places that have responded, the following has happened: 1.) New (fancier) restaurant opening- I interviewed 4 times and they asked me can I be a food runner rather than a server and I agreed. On a Friday I was told I would need to come back and meet with the director the following…

My work's owners are explicitly telling us to not discuss wages with eachother following a recent wage change. I obviously have had a smaller increase since I am the youngest. I'm thinking about being petty and openly discussing it and getting the attention of management. Because they will definetly punish me for it and it is a right to discuss wages and not be penalised, who do I contact so management will get ass blasted for it. I dont really care about compensation, pay raise or anything really. Im starting to look for a new job and I just want them to get in shit for it.

Sooo I applied for a position I really want and they told me a week ago during the phone interview that they would call me in a few days to set up a time for me to come in. As I said it's been a week. Would it be weird for me to check in and ask about it? Should I just leave it alone and keep waiting?

When first starting with the original company it wasn't bad, but over the years there were many management shifts that came with multiple cuts in pay, added job responsibilities, and more “busy work” (irrelevant spreadsheets, unnecessary meetings, even irrelevant training (beyond the typical compliance stuff). I put up with it, until Covid hit in 2020. I then was asked (made me feel obligated) to stay behind as the ONLY “essential” employee. I ended up working 29/30 days that month, wearing multiple hats, doing multiple people's jobs. I then got a pay check that month less than my regular checks had been (since a percent of my pay was based off commissions, being side tracked doing other people's jobs left me with less overall pay). I quit. Immediately picked up a job making 3x the income in the same field. After 6 months of working with the new company they let…

What the fuck kind of degree should I get then? I'm so sick of living.

It was my first day and that is all I need it to never apply to another sales and marketing job. The over the top energy. The unnecessary games to keep people motivated. All the silly rules to keep people engaged and interacting was just ridiculous. I couldn't yawn, lay on the wall, use my phone, or even sit down before things started. They literally had people dancing in a circle if they saw them yawning. Like what is this? A circus? A club? Also only 200 dollars for the first week of training and 400 for the next one? Like what? There is not hour pay either. Everything is commission. Thus, If I fail to sell one single product on a day. I would end up losing money because they do not pay or provide gas or vehicles. Additionally, I refuse to be driving door to door during awful…
