Antiwork

I work remote and have been going through a health situation and requested intermittent FMLA (my employer offers) with no response. Which has caused me to be unable to obtain needed therapy. I then had to have two surgeries one was out patient and the second was a invasive with 6-8 week out of work. I sent an email to HR stating that since I had not had a response on my initial FMLA request and follow up request that now I need to request for the second surgery. Again no response from the company I had to take PTO for the day of my surgery (Friday) and Monday and was working the next day. I could not even sit in a chair and had to make a desk in my bed to work. I had to email when I would start to feel fatigued or having pain issues (I…

People will think I'm being sarcastic, but I really am not. With that said a coworker asked me “what would I love to do in life?” I looked at them and said “I would love to run around and go teehee all day!” They gave me this blank stare and asked me what does that even mean? 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?

siiiiiiiggghhhh I'm trying to look for a new role within the organisation I work for and everytime I even think of starting an application my thoughts are: -most probably going to have the same problems as my current team -same pattern recycled again just with different people -same old public servant culture, never really refreshes or changes, truly set in it's old ways. Of course I also look outside too but I don't have a lot to branch out. My skills and experience have been built up from being in the same org for almost a decade, it's frightening to think whether if I am qualified are enough to get a job outside. If you know what I mean? I feel trapped. 🙁 I would love to take the time and learn new skills, I love learning but without a financial safety net it's hard. Anyone thinking the same?

Tons of stories about this psychopath. This is one of my favorites. I developed training programs for work. Had recently finished one and was starting new stuff. My manager comes by and says she had a meeting in 45 minutes but couldn't make it due to other work. She asked if I could go in her staid because there may be a question or two about my new program. I say no problem. I ask how many people will be there. She says 12 so without being told I print out 12 packages with a summary. I head up to the meeting a few minutes early. The meeting room is still occupied from the previous booking so people are waiting outside. I see a guy I know from another department and start to chat with him. I ask what this meeting is all about and he looks at me sideways.…
