Antiwork

Last night I hated my job so much I overdosed on prescription pills. I'm still here, but am totally out of it. I can't take my job any longer and can't get a better one. All warehousing sucks ass. I'm thinking of going to California to become homeless. I hear they give free housing sometimes and even free drugs if you're an addict. I'm not an addict but might want to become one to deal with my misery. Psych meds don't help at all. Neither does therapy. I'm sick of being stuck in the shit job cycle and would rather be dead than go back to it, hence trying for California homelessness with benefits.

I was told to sit for more time after my usual time just because of some target issues of the company..actually supervisor shouted at peoples..

I have been working at a retail store for a long time- I can’t say how long or else I might doxx myself. My problem started roughly thirteen (13) years ago when my old manager retired, and a new manager transferred states and was signed on to my store. From the beginning he was always on my back and had a short-temper, he was the complete opposite of my old manager. Now I’ll say right now that I would classify my ‘new’ manager as someone who is a very dominant male and I would even say he is powerful. Anyway in the past two (2) years since COVID got bad in my country I have been studying lots of social skills and social engineering, gaining charisma and a new found confidence. We had a work meeting one night in which we met with two other stores. As a long time…

So for some context, this is a job I’m stuck with, and losing this job will cost me everything I have. I could explain, but it’s a bit personal and I don’t feel that it’s needed. Just know I need this job and can’t quit for several months at least, and I need to leave this job with decency. I just got this job a month ago, and I was working at McDonalds beforehand. I actually went down in pay coming here, because it was a dangerous work environment I was in due to the employees being basically free range on what they can get away with. The managers are scared to yell at employees for anything, and the employees themselves use the managers as a weapon against new comers that they disrespect, such as me, despite being fully trained and better knowledgeable at my position (grill) than anyone including…

I am the Dietary Manager at a nursing home. I have a love/hate relationship with what i do. I have been at my current building for almost a year. I followed my boss of 10 years. But anyways. I am short staffed at the moment. Unlike other managers i have been picking up those shifts. I just finished a 19 day, 150+ hour stretch. Today was suppose to be my first day off, the last 3 opportunities for a day off someone called off. A girl who was suppose to be doing a double today (her choice because of school) called off at 11pm last night. After nearly 40 mins of crying and anger i put my phone on do not disturb and it is gunna stay like that. I feel guilty and horrible about it but man i need a day off. How does one not feel this way??…

A lot of this stuff is highly relatable, hence the HUGE number of people in this subreddit. Second question: a) If you do post your workplace gripes to LinkedIn – does it help you find a job/boss/likeminded people to work with? b) If you don’t – would you like to see more of it? I think I would. It would probably be the only thing to make me open the app. That being said, I wouldn’t bet that many people in this sub browse LinkedIn. When I say workplace gripes I mean: people acting inappropriately, taking advantage, underpaying, salary, or shitting on major events like when Amazon made its workers stay in a tornado or roasting Kellogg’s and other strikes. Obviously you’re not gonna get on LinkedIn saying shit like “my boss is a fucking c*nt.” I know anti-work is about not wanting to work, but the reality is most…

Hey there! I've been following this sub for a while now and I must say it changed my views on many things. It educated me and it made me educate myself on some topics. It also made me change my understanding of my employees and think about their salaries. Obviously I'm not from the US and this is not another post on “omg poor Americans, how do you survive”. I'm looking for some clarifications, since we do things completely differently here and I, due to missing information don't understand it completely. So here is my dilemma: you post your annual salary that ranges somewhere between 25k and 150k. I understand that is before taxes and you haven't got any insurance cowered in this. Now, in EU countries the gross monthly salary is somewhere between 2k and 4k, so let's say 3k, what would annually mean around 40k (including vaccation money).…

I was terminated and am sending an email detailing the events because I believe it’s wrongful termination. Is there anyone willing to look over my email and make sure it sounds okay? Thanks.
