Antiwork

You are blowing these employers' heads up. They churn and burn through us and treat us like shit because we accept less than the bare minimum and we are seen as desperate for less than a living wage. $17/hr isn't even enough, but it gets the ball rolling and it's the principle that counts. If it's possible for you depending on your state and country, hold out for a better offer. We are late on reform and the time to manipulate the system was years ago.

I drive a few blocks down the street and pick up a 12-pack of Rainier beer for $10.86. Been doin’ this a long time. Tonight I go in and my neighbor is working as usual and he rings me up for $21 and says that’s the price now. I can’t even afford to drink. Edit: forgot to add price I’ve been paying for years

I work in a hospital that’s the only unionized one out of the whole system. I am pro-union but I think the corporate overlords castrated ours. Strike and walk-out activity is automatic termination. Not only do we make less than the non-union locations, but the contract vote is tomorrow and they restructured payscales which is resulting in me getting a whopping .15 cent raise this year. 312 whole dollars. Thanks for working in the pandemic I guess this might be the worst place I’ve ever worked for.

Since it’s not illegal to lie on a resume, provided you don’t falsify a document to support it, what’s a job that anyone with a brain can do with a clever resume?

Seriously. We tolerate too damn much. I seen employees pretend like their bosses are virtuous and can do no wrong, knowing full well they lie about everything. I seen employees run around like hound dogs snitching on their fellow co-workers, they get their little dollar raise and 16 trips to the hospital due to all of the stress. You mean to tell me they probably lost 10yrs off their life doing this mess? Even my last company being the top performing branch in the US, nobody fights for a raise even though we are the least paid out of all of them. Everybody just shrugs off a raise. No wonder why they pay of these jobs went down and as prices skyrocketed, although it looks like COVID is turning things around but we'll see. Its taking a deadly virus to turn things around, aint that amazing?

Hey yall, my place of work has decided to return to the office full time after working for months remote. It's a move from the higher ups and our managers aren't overly keen on it, but nothing they can do until the powers above write some formal procedures to work remote if they so choose. Now being that the infrastructure to work remote remains, I'm hoping to remain working from home. My work has to accomodate any sort of medical restrictions and I'm wondering if any of you have had success presenting something specific to your manager that allowed you to stay remote? I hate to abuse the “system” but it's been nothing but positive for my productivity and family's wellbeing. My family doctor is very understanding and would probably write anything I need as long as it doesn't go as far as complete fabrication, but I'm open to anything.…

OK so I’ve been a long time lurker of this sub Reddit and I have finally decided to post. My girlfriend essentially manages a kindercare location And the bullshit that can be seen at the various levels of management is absolutely infuriating. First off, lots and lots and lots of licensing issues. Ratio issues, being under ratio, over ratio with the amount of kids versus the amount of staff available. Lack of respect and empathy for staff. There’s only one person at this particular location that could be considered my girlfriend‘s boss and that boss is sad on numerous occasions that she doesn’t care about any of the staff that work there that have been there for years whereas my girlfriends been there for six months and confided in her not to tell everybody. I just wanted to say that if you are reading this and you have children enrolled…

About 6 years ago, a religious extremist in a Utah-based faith I went to high school with decided to report a non-business social media post I made on my own time, with mild regional profanity. She is not a customer of my company. HR, upon receiving such a report, reached out to my manager to ask him to discuss and to ask me to remove the post and reference to where I work. I feel HR should have ignored and filed her complaint in the circular file as it had zero to do with my job and was on my own time and equipment. Ever since then, I give my managers a poor annual assessment. It’s not his fault, he’s just a cog in the system, but I think he should have pushed back on such a petty thing.
