Antiwork

I’ve just started working at this restaurant and I’ve just found out that we don’t get our tips until the 10th of each month. Not only that but management (upper management included) also get 10% of the tips made in the branch. Also a lot of the other staff think the tips aren’t actually being shared fairly. What should I do? Can I do anything?

In May of 2021 I was let go of a very hectic IT servicedesk, where I was working at. A merger was done between two companies of equal size, but the integration was awful, a previous system of IT applications and HR/Facility teams was broken up and the company grinded to a halt, resulting in too much work for the IT dept. 1st. I was let go and as a result the service level dropped even further. 2nd. My manager of my current job actively poached the team lead SD of the other merging partner (he told me of the 1st.) 3rd. I was told by my account manager that she fired that company, especially because the new SDM she found it hard to work with him to resolve staffing issues… Because of this situation I was given back some money because the dismissal in retrospect was wrong. I was…

So I have an office job and work 5 days a week. Out of those 5 days, we get one day of our choosing to work from home. What I don't understand is why. Everything I do in my office I can do at home. I use my own laptop and I rarely interact with my coworkers, most of our work is done via email. So… why do I need to be there all the time? I don't mind going to the office two days a week, for the sake of leaving the house, but my presence there is completely unnecessary. Not to mention that, by the end of the week, there isn't much work to do. Thursdays and Fridays are pointless. If you have an office job you know that, for the most part, most of the work you have daily can be done within 2-3 hours. I do…

I work in the UK and have been working for my job for 2 years and a half. This is in a hospital. My original contract was a fixed term contract, and based on performance, it was renewed and I was given an interview to turn it into a permanent role. This is a graduate entry-level role. I was then interviewed and seconded successfully into a mid-management role. This role was also a secondment and the fixed term was extended. While on the role, I interviewed for a secondment in my team to a manager role. I got the job and it was a secondment for 11 months. I have worked extremely hard and was praised for both the quality of my work and my work ethic, as well as having an extremely positive appraisal and feedback throughout the time I have been working here. A few weeks ago my…

So, for a little backstory, I work in a restaurant to pay the bills while I'm getting my education back on track. I live in an area where Mardi Gras is considered a big deal, with parades going on for weeks. This all leads to one final day, Fat Tuesday, which is the finale of the season and generally a big deal. The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays, and I've been told several times by my manager that we would not be making an exception. I made plans with multiple friends from out of town that day and set them in motion a few days ago. Today, the regional manager decided to change course and open, and I was thrown on the schedule without being consulted less than a week before the holiday. I regularly stay late or come in on my day off because I actually like working there…
