Antiwork

I've worked for a popular supermarket franchise in the UK for around nine months now and all I have experienced is incompetence and rampant harassment. Just today, a known sexual predator who had been preying on the sixteen year old workers was reinstated after being sacked for sexual harassment. He was given his job back because “he's harmless.” What the actual fuck. I still can't believe it now, but here we are. I made a formal complaint to my manager and was told that it has nothing to do with me and because I'm a bloke I shouldn't comment. I've seen how uncomfortable the younger girls on my department are around him, and how some of them were upset and felt unsafe when they were told he was coming back. So I made a formal complaint and told my manager that it showed a damning lack of care or consideration…

I hope this doesn't come off as petty, but the increase in gas prices, and the housing market, have had a big impact on me. Feels like I'm stuck in a rut, I already live paycheck to paycheck. I went from spending 120-130 a month on gas to 200ish, and my rent went up 200 dollars more a month. I don't live a life of luxury, I live in a small studio apartment. The big mistake I made was getting a newish car, with a ridiculous interest rate, it's killing me. I just feel like this would be the perfect time for companies to give cost of living raises? It's just rough right now, I'm sure it could always be worse, I'm grateful I have a roof over my head, and food in the fridge.

I just started a new job. Warehouse job. I basically manage cell phone tower construction sites. We had a supervisor from a different warehouse training my supervisor. He started like 2 days before me. I don't blame him. He's trying his best but he can't answer my questions or train me because he doesn't know. So I ask my manager. Hes relatively new but has been there for 5 months. .makes me wonder why they would hire some one outside then promote some one inside. Both my superiors just have me ask some one that's been there a d they are cool but at the same time they have their own jobs to do so I feel bad

Sorry if not allowed. But I figured the folks here might have some thoughts. My whole adult life I’ve been the primary breadwinner. I was living under the poverty line for ten years after my second kid was born. I don’t have a college degree so my whole world was all about the hustle. I am good at office work and good at interviews so I was able to painstakingly ladder my way up, using whatever experience I’d gained from my last job to finagle something slightly better next time. (Side note: they say this is the “American dream” but it felt more like a nightmare every day.) Every job was fraught with imposter syndrome and shitty bosses. It led to a terrible cycle of “new job excitement” and “this sucks why am I even alive” depression. I even once got fired from a job I’d had for three years…

There's the ownership class, and everyone else. If you are a landlord, company owner, or in any other way your income comes… a) Directly from exploiting the labor of others (i.e. profiting from ownership of a company) b) From little other than owning an asset such as stocks or real estate You are in the ownership class. You can have significant income from both a job AND asset ownership, but you're still in the ownership class in that instance in any way that matters to a workers' movement. Everyone else, even people making 200k per year, are just one bad day away from crippling debt and/or homelessness. They may have a 6 month buffer if they have savings, but that can get wiped out a hundred ways. They may be happier and comfier, but again, they are at the whims of the ownership class, who do not care about them.…
