Antiwork

Just like cops they're fucking idiots. They're selected because they're compliant and dull. Just like cops they have never had to earn any respect or authority so they have no real sense of either. Just vacant eyes and a script they've been taught to follow. Don't feel bad about exploiting this. The most useful tool for enemy agents is garnering sympathy while exploiting their employees. “Oh we're like a family here, and Margie's out sick, and gosh darn it Jim just hasn't been pulling his weight. Remember two years ago I let you have 2 whole days off for your wedding? Into just saying we really need you to come in this weekend.” Do not fall for their Yakubian tricknology. Steel yourself by counter programming your mind by reverse engineering the neuro-lingistic triggers embedded in the employee manuals they distribute. Learn to read the fine print because that will always…

On February 10th I took off last minute to go to the doctors for my disability. Later that day the company book keeper informed me that Chris our general manager needed a doctors note. I texted her an image of the note. The next day I presented that note to the GM and he said “ok”. Fast forward on February 15th the book keeper confronted me asking me all sorts of personal questions regarding my doctors visit on February 10th and I told her I don’t feel comfortable discussing my visit because it is violating my hippa rights. Mind you she didn’t even pull me aside to talk about it. She mentioned my disability in front of the staff which they had no business knowing. She demanded that I told her in detail what happened at my doctors visit. I told her I am not going to do that because…

Title says it all. I was expected to call in Daily and explain that no, I don't have a vehicle, no my mother is still in a hospital bed, and no I don't really mentally feel like coming into work. This happened about a week ago at my lovely lovely job on top of the active covid, the calling in Fiasco with covid, and not receiving my $1 raise although having the stress and duties of a shift leader since November

So I got hired as an executive assistant two and a half weeks ago. Been assigned tasks such as hiring interns working on indeed applications etc. It’s Friday the 18th and I’m supposed to get my first paycheck and my employer has been ignoring my calls and messages for two days now. What do I need to do to get my paycheck if he is not answering me ?

Preface: I have owned and operated an architectural finishes company for over ten years. This is a fancy term for a painting company. We specialize in small to medium sized commercial projects. We are an open shop (non-union), but our wages compete with unions in our area (Midwest US) and we don’t lay our guys off like some companies that use union labor. We work year ‘round and have enough work for everyone to have at least 40 hours a week. I ran into an ethical dilemma this morning that I will explain further down, but would like to outline the business first for you guys to make an informed opinion. Wages: Superintendent: $65k/year salary Foremen: $25/hour Lead People: $23/hour Skilled: $19-$22/hour Semi-Skilled: $16-$18/hour *Unskilled: $13-$15/hour *: Unskilled labor is zero experience in the trade. This hourly wage is determined by the ability to work well with others, show up…
