Antiwork

Hi everyone! First time posting in this subreddit but I could really use some help. I work at a corporate owned vet office as a receptionist. I have been here for 3 years and i have worked through our hospital going from 24 hour clinic to a genera practice and the constant turnover of doctors and staff. I have been loyal and hardworking ever since. I started my job making $10/hr in 2018 and the company continues to move their minimum wage up. At one point our hospital was having such bad turnover that they brought HR in to discuss what was going on and everyone complained about pay. They raised everyone’s wage up 2-3 dollars and I was put at $13/hr back in July of 2021. So now, our company has raised its minimum wage up to $13/hr and I got an email stating they would “feather up” my…

Being a team player only benefits the MANAGER. And to those who think they will be promoted because they're a team, good luck with that thought. If you are not well liked, you aren't going anywhere.

I’m so miserable at work. I wake up and cry every day, literally I cry. I have 10 alarms set to make me get out of bed. I’ve stopped wearing makeup/dressing nice for my role. I’ve burnt through all of my personal time but have been granted two FMLA day a month to use when ever and I’m always using them. I avoid my work despite meeting numbers because I no longer want to go above and beyond. I just want to do the bare minimum. I get no satisfaction from my job anymore. The insurance is nice and allows me to get therapy and I’ve had FMLA approved for a while now which is nice. The pay sucks though for what I do. I’m a banker and I make just barely 15 an hour. I want to leave but I have no college degree. I’m scared to leave because…

Does anybody know the law about this? in Texas I know the laws are lax here.

Hi guys, I graduated with a degree in chem a little over a year ago and I wanted to share my experiences with job searches and exploitation by employers in higher Ed with people who are thinking about a chem degree. I graduated with a bachelors December 2021 and quickly landed a job at one of the best public research schools in Atlanta. This experience taught me that being a lab tech sucks and here’s why: The starting pay was $15 an hour for 40 hours a week and not more. As someone with little experience in the “real world” this seemed like a good bit of money starting off but I quickly realized it was not enough to live off of. I loved the research I was doing and was learning pretty quickly. However, the PI was giving me more work than I could handle. On top of designing…

I am currently in a college town in the northwest, and while there was a point not too far back where fast food and restaurants were struggling to staff their stores (more than the usual amount they are horrifically understaffed) and I've been mass applying on and off for months towards “unskilled” part time labor to do alongside my other part time job. Despite changing up strategies, keep a variety of different unskilled labor apps, and expecting only a wage of 15 I've found that broadly I am unable to get callbacks, interviews, and when I do they tend to degrade when I expect 15 an hour or when I tell them I want part time work. Currently there is the semester active in my college town, so a lot of unskilled labor is taken by college students looking to make rent alongside classes. The cost of living is also…

I eventually want to start my own business and I want input on what a good company to work for looks like. For myself, I hate being micromanaged. I hate working 40 hours a week doing the same mundane tasks. I hate “quality assurance” and getting berated for not putting in effort because I’m just too burnt out to care. But I don’t know what a healthy work environment looks like because the current company I work for has ALWAYS been toxic.
