Antiwork

So instead I polished up my resume and applied for new jobs. time to quit when your boss of 1 year cant even spell your name right when its right in front of you….

I managed network/systems infrastructure at a small UK telecomms company. The CEO built the company from scratch and worked every day 7am to 7pm. My contract stated office hours between 8am and 16:30. So barring an emergency, I was out of the door at 16:32, no excuses, just a goodbye. I would still answer phone in after hours emergencies. When I started, I worked alone. We grew, CEO hired more people and I became a team leader. I noticed the english folks all worked extremely long hours. Of course this included spending 40+% of worktime chatting in the kitchen, reading social media, discussing football and brownnecking CEO. My CEO, at first jokingly, started calling me “Mr Factory Worker” every time somebody wanted to schedule a late afternoon meeting and I excused myself. Later, he started poking fun at my “factory worker mentality” at every possible occassion, mentioning how my other…

Deciding to put my official two weeks in at my current position. Overworked, not treated as a human, belittled, thrown under bus constantly so people can stay on the bosses good side. In the meantime I decided to ask a few coworkers mostly newer to the practice how much they were making. Turns out vastly different amounts not based on experience. Yeah, they weren't happy to hear that. I predict he's going to have some raise requests or ads out for hiring very soon.

I have been trying to find a decent enough job that I could save some money for my girlfriend and I to get a place to stay, but every job is $10-12 an hour and even a hotel room is damn near $100 a night. Now, to add to my already overloaded plate, we are getting kicked out by our roommates on the threat of violence. I've got nothing saved up, and no idea what to do. It's so bad that I don't see the point of going on, if it's never going to get better. I've called every homeless shelter in my area and they're all full due to the tornado warning for my area. I'm not sure if I'm still going to be here for much longer. None of my family is close enough to help, and I can't do anything myself. Edit: Got some breathing room. Roommate…

I have been following this thread for a few months now and I have finally gotten the courage to ask my boss for a better salary. I have been working with my company for over two years and have only seen a $1.50 increase in my wage. I am sure I am one of the lowest paid employees in the company. I told management to increase my salary or I am walking. Tired of working for below living wage standard.

3.9 GPA, I'm a 7 year veteran using my GI bill. At a very expensive and reputable college and being in my last semester, the fear of graduating without a job is itching at me everyday. My degree is in Finance with a minor in political science. Literally, all I want at this point is an honest job that pays an honest salary. I was hoping to find a position that allows me to work up to being a CFP or CFA and literally, nothing. Just MLM organizations. This is hella depressing to experience. Especially turning 30 years old in a few months. Biggest fear above them all is that I'll basically be forced to just get something just so I can make ends meet. 10 years of my life just to graduate and work something that I not only didn't study for, but is something anyone can do just…

Worked for a small company for 5+ years. Aug 21 they were bought out by the corporate company. Was transferred into a new simpler role on Dec 21(you wear multiple hats and work your butt off in small companies). Today after working for 90 days they laid me off. Understandably I was making over 40k more than my counterparts off seas instead of in the US. Damn I'm pissed. F corporations. Now what?! I've never been fired, laid off or quit without a job. Want to throw up. I am the sole breadwinner of my family and have young kids. 🤮🤬
