Antiwork

Tried to discuss my new employment contract. Boss asked our opinions when they sent the contract. I told them concerns in email and over the phone. They acted understanding at first said they would remove the non compete but kept sending me new versions of the contract with non compete still in it. I wanted them to remove it because it’s not really enforceable in our state anymore. Also non competes are just very constricting on low wage employee’s ability to seek better employment or side work or second jobs. I’ve been afraid to even try because my Last contract was so strict.

So I showed him and he started to laugh. That's all I ever want to do is make people smile and laugh! If someone can forget about their troubles in a day with a little teehee it makes this god damn forsaken life worth it! Has anyone on here strictly chosen an occupation because it just sounded good & people talked about how much you can make? I know I have a sort of regret it..

Why the hell are workplaces always so toxic. I always end up feeling like an outcast no matter how hard I true…..what the hell humanity.

Hi everyone I'm in the UK and hate my job as a “Trainee Digital Marketing Executive”. This is a euphemism for a bullshit job where all I do is basically create loads of quasi-spam profiles for a company. Should I just quit?
