Antiwork

This was dead ass on a job advertisement. Tell me you want to make your employee’s lives revolve around YOUR business without telling me flat out. Minimum wage gets minimum loyalty and minimum effort. I said what I said. If you have a history of your workers not trying, not showing up, or having a bad attitude…. 90 percent of the time it’s because you bred an environment that’s unbearable to be in.

It's a factory, 12 hour days. They say they provide boots. I worked union before where I got $100 voucher to use on their boots so I'm thinking this is what's happening. They expected me to wear used boots that who knows how many other people have sweated in. They also would not allow use of own personal boots. So literally the only option was to wear their used work boots. I most likely wouldn't wear work boots of my good buddies that I know have decent hygiene, let alone complete strangers sweating in them 12 hours a day for idk how long they've been passed around for. That union needs to get off their ass. That is absolutely disgusting and it can't be sanitary. Probably end up with some foot fungus. Hard pass.

“No one wants to work anymore”. I had a job interview on Monday and the owner of the business I was interviewing with, said that to me. As soon as those words left his mouth, I lost all interest in the job. I mean, I'm there for a job interview, and I'm not the only interview you have, so clearly people want to work. So if you find that people don't want to work any more, maybe you should consider that there is something about your business model that doesn't benefit the workers.

Why are there so many idiots on here who promote having drugs/ stopping drug tests in a workplace? This is something the vast majority of the public will see as immaturity. Improving work conditions and wage are legitimate and common ground everyone agrees with why get on the wrong side of the fast majority of people who are responsible workers?

I see so many comments of ppl talking about how bad the system is and then in the same breath talk about how you should just try to find your way in life with no plans of getting rid of the system or changing it. This is an anarchist subreddit goddammit

I'll put a TL;DR at the end of this. Just need some insight because it's stressing me out. Back story: I got referred to a corporate job by a relative, saying it's work within the field I studied in. Gave me their friend's email and asked me to send a resume over. I'm not actively job searching at the moment but said okay, why not. —– Company's a 2hr travel each way to and from where I live, so I was already iffy about that. Either a looong commute or I'd have to relocate which isn't ideal. My current job is literally around the corner. But under pressure from my relative constantly going “Just try it!” I've been trying to see if it's worth it I email my resume and the conversation with the friend moves to text/call. He tells me more about the company but also tells me half-jokingly…
