Antiwork

So, my boss gave me a list of things to do for my 5 hour shift. I’m total it would take 7 hours to do. You would assume my boss would find it understandable that I could not get it done, right? Nope, I was told that I had a “reasonable” amount of time to get it all done and that I was “slacking off”. I explained that I it was impossible for me to get it done and even gave him a layout of exactly what I did that day, with the times I did each task. After him treating me like a child for 10 minutes and scolding me, he pulls out a paper and tells me to sign it. He explained that since I am getting written up I will need to sign this and acknowledge that. I explained I don’t feel comfortable because this could be…

Never thought I’d have a story to post on here, yet here I am. I was recently fired from Walmart and have been searching for work for a few weeks. I applied to Little Caesars and got an interview, that I had to call to get info on, despite being reached out to via Indeed. So I went to the interview Saturday, and was pretty much hired on the spot, told orientation would be this Saturday. So far so good. I go to turn in my info Sunday, and had to wait 10mins for the store manager to even get my info despite the store being empty (he was on his phone in the back). I tried to make small talk and was blown off, just generally unwelcoming and uncomfortable. After he brings me back my info I was told to just sign a paper and that I needed to…

It has awful Glassdoor reviews but I thought I'd give them a chance. Don't really care if they rescind the offer, no way I'm taking it without more questions answered (and not by management, obviously.)

I’m a vet tech. I’ve been a vet tech for 2+ years. I became licensed end of 2020 and the pay increase was nice but it wasn’t enough because I still can’t afford anything. I’m living at home because a studio apartment costs $1200 and after paying bills each month, I don’t even have that much left over. I tried posting in another subreddit asking for advice buying a trailer home in a mobile home park because I felt like that was the best option for me and the only advice was “get a better paying job” but I don’t know how!!!! I started out as a preschool teacher making minimum wage. This WAS the better paying job. I don’t know where to go from here, I went $30,000 in debt to get this job just to get paid $35k a year. I was going back to school to get…

I’m just kind of wondering how many people are over the age of 35. To me that would qualify you as an older Millennial. Is there any advice you have for people that just started or might just be going into the workforce? I know this sounds like what would be on r/askreddit but I’m pretty curious.

So I’m a receptionist at a body shop in a dealership where I was originally hired to be the receptionist for the company. I was laid off due to COVID and rehired into the body shop department almost a year later. Might I just point out that I do hours of work for the administration department simply because I still knew how to and it has never been the responsibility of the body shop receptionist in the past. Well I just hit my one year mark and minimum wage went up at the beginning of the year. I learned today that my employer does NOT give everyone wage adjustments for minimum wage going up, so the wage adjustment I got was documented as a raise because they decided I could have the adjustment. My manager is new to his position and within 2 weeks of his promotion, spent hours on…

TLDR: Manager has me working alone with a brand new employee while we are insanely busy; even when both Saturday workers are trained-in, we can barely run the store. Not sure where else to post this, but my story is certainly an example of why antiwork is necessary. I work part-time at an eye clinic, and mostly sell glasses, although I do have other obligations as well. Honestly, I don't mind the actual work I do. I get paid what would be a living wage if I wasn't in school, and generally speaking the job itself is pretty rewarding. I've had issues with management before, but not in the past year or so (I've been at the clinic for over two years now). In the fall, I accepted an internship offer at a local law firm, so now I only work at the clinic on weekends and the occasional weekday…

True story. Back in 2010, I worked for a company called bargain network located in california. They shut it down, to go “online only”. Then I found another place similar to where I worked, and most of the people that worked at BN got jobs over there, so at least I had quite a few references when I applied. I kept going back, going back, to see the status of my application, saw it was on top of the “to be hired” pile. For some reason I just never got in, never understood why. Until the dreadful truth later I got from a friend. You see, when I went there, everybody looked STONED / high AF. It was kind of odd to me. I didn't think much of it. Maybe smoking weed was allowed? IDK. In order to get in and be hired, you had to bring a small bag…
