Antiwork

Just Like the title say. When they want you to take a test say and hand them a test of your own. Questions on mine are: Are you planning on calling me on my day off? If i finished my work very fast what would you do? Let me go home. Give me a bonus. Give me extra work. I was late 5min what is your response? You get the Idea. Stupid questions, there are like 50 questions on my 3 page list. But my last one is my favorite. How would you feel if someone wasted you're time with something useless like a personality test? Did this 2 times and the faces are worth it. Sure i will do the test, If you do mine.

Posting from a burner account because somewhat nervous this would somehow find its way back to me. I work at a small business and I can mostly tolerate what I do and on some level, even enjoy it (side note: I have withstood the most ridiculous circumstances to keep doing it, but thats another post). Recently I was promoted to a managerial position, which has been going ok. We hired a bunch of new staff and things have been running mostly smooth except… every other week I basically have to beg the owner/my boss to run payroll. Two weeks after we hired new employees, boss was out of town, I offered to run payroll (even tho its way past my paygrade) because I wanted to ensure that everyone got their first paycheck on time. Boss said he could run it from his phone, I reluctantly said ok. He came back…

My job is pretty good. It's not too high stress, it's close to home. I am ok with the pay even though I would've liked a couple dollars more per hour I'm ok with what I'm making because of all the other things I mentioned. But my boss has been strict about people not using their cell phones at their desk. However many times throughout the day I see her on her cellphone ..not saying she's on there constantly but she does check her phone and text from time to time even though I was told I couldn't use my phone and my boss suggested I put my phone away so other people wouldn't be bothered by it thinking I was using it even though I wasn't. Wtf? This seems unfair to me. I like my job but it seems there might be some nepotism going on. Also the daughter…

I recently started a new job and before I even had my first interview I was writing down points on wages. Personally I have a wealth of experience and knowledge, I was in the Military and I have multiple operator certifications for different types of industrial equipment. I believe that qualifies me for over 20$/hr bare minimum. When I was asked in my interview what my expectations are when it comes to pay, I answered to the effect of north of my minimum. If I had put it on my resume at the top where my tombstone data is, “Cost of labour 20-30$/hr”, I wonder how effective of a negotiating tool that could be 🤔. Not only that, but it would also tell me how detail oriented the person is

This is just a rant. As above. I'm 42, in the UK. working since I was 16. Full time from 17. Started as a factory worker, went into building computers, then insurance broker and now hgv fleet admin. Had side jobs during the years. Not sure if it's whats happened in my life lately, (Nervious breakdown 8 years ago, last year…heart attack, mum died, wife divorced me and moved someone in straight away, started from scratch again looking after my kids. Cant get a date to save my life, my grandad died last week and was like a father to me) Anyway, all that and I've been major stressed with work. I've been trying to progress and get a promotion. I've done 2 interviews, others around me that I know dont know as much or dont do as good a job as me, have been promoted. (Friends of management) I've…

Spending 5/7ths of your life waiting, praying for the weekend to come, just to get two measly days for yourself before having to do it all over again. This can't be all there is to life, right?
