Antiwork

Hey y'all! I've been looking for a new job finally after 6 months of healing from my injury, and legal stuff concerning my last job. What is everyone's experience working commission? This job is an apprentice position with a sorta well known plumber, and would be commission, after 6 weeks of 18/hr training. I've never worked commission, let alone a job like this doing service calls, but I find myself burnt out from previous jobs working 8-10 hour shifts 5 days a week. It would also be the most money I've ever made, even the training is at par with the most I've made. I'm afraid to walk into another soul crushing job being used as cheap labour, but I need work frankly.

So I’m gonna take 2 weeks off and accompany my friend on a business trip to south of france. They will be so fucked without me there as I do a lot of important things no one else is able to do 🙂

Hi all, I've a question if anyone has knowledge of holiday entitlement in the UK, I'm just about to go back to work after a fortnight off on annual leave. 2 days before my holidays start I get COVID and have to go off sick, I was pretty ill and had I been on shift I'd have got a sick line from the doctor, we don't have to get a sick note unless we're off 3 days in a row, I've spent the whole 2 weeks in bed and not able to really do anything till two days before I'm due back. Am I able to ask for another week off due to being ill my whole holiday or is this just wishful thinking on my part? I've not used any sick days apart from those two since I've been there I feel robbed of my holidays

So I'm a ServiceDesk Agent currently for German-speaking clients and I'm in a team of only 4 German-speaking SDAs and 1 of them has already submitted her resignation (the reason was probably the insane workload). Manager said he is actively recruiting 'very hard' to find replacements but also admitted he is having a tough time finding recruits So it seems even if I put in bare minimum effort they would have a hard time firing me. Can I somehow make use of this situation? To get as much money as possible before they fire me for slacking off

Why would you want the job after finding out who you will be working with?

I've been following the P&O story which, while it has been covered a lot in the UK media, hasn't had any coverage or interviews from the former employee's involved. It's my understanding that the terms of the severance package was that they had to sign an NDA. In my opinion, that's blackmail for their silence. I want to know what it is they don't want you to tell.

This sub has been overwhelmed by increasingly fake and crazy antiwork stories. Change my view. Most likely to destroy any cohesiveness and undermine the point of this sub to spam it into oblivion.

They could have recorded classes all through COVID, published them, and then had the protocol to give online fill in the bubble tests. All you would have to pay is for the proctor. Retake the class as many times as needed. Humanities courses especially should be free. As a philosophy major I know these could be recorded and published and there would never need to be another in person paid for class again. They choose not to do this because they want your money, they say “come for the education, not the job prospects” thats bull. They only want your money.
