Antiwork

My work was to create digital resources for schools. The work had to be a mix of tests, worksheets, flashcards, etc. My contract terms were to go into the office for 8 hours to complete work which could not leave the premises. My boss said that she had 15 items a week, and I had to help her with whatever I could, but it had to be done there. One item takes around 30 mins -1 1/2 hours. Basically, I could do 13/15 items in 8 hours a week. I was paid monthly as well. At first, everything was fine. My boss saw that I made exceptional resources and I sat next to her, so I was never on my phone or slacking off. I only showed up to work two days of the week to do my 8 hours, so I was there for four hours each day. One…

I was naïve. I thought my company leadership knew how to be leaders (and knew how to successfully run a business). I thought they had gotten into their positions of leadership because they were deserving of the leadership role. I was wrong. I spent 14+ years working full-time in the corporate world and here's what I learned: ️ (1) titles don't mean knowledge; ️ (2) leadership roles don't mean they wanted that position, deserved that position, or were trained in that position; ️ (3) don't expect to be taken seriously as a younger looking female, especially in a male-dominated industry (finance); ️(4) having a growth mindset in a fixed mindset organization is frustrating and claustrophobic; ️ (5) narcissistic leaders are not worth your time and energy; ️ (6) other viewpoints are sometimes not only NOT welcomed, but constructively providing them can get you terminated; ️ (7) expecting that leaders know…

P&O ferries, one of the major operators of passenger ferries in the UK (including the Dover to Calais route) recently dismissed 800 members of staff without following a consultation process, with the intention of hiring cheaper agency workers – and there has been complete uproar. In a House of Commons hearing today, the chief executives have been torn to shreds by the transport and business committee, and have admitted breaking the law by choosing not to consult with the seafaring unions. They have damaged their brand with the negative publicity, and they will compensate all the staff who lost their jobs as a result. According to the Guardian newspaper, the transport committee chair described the evidence as a “tale of corporate thuggery where a huge company thinks it can break the law with impunity”. Whilst we in the UK have our fair share of problems relating to employment, we do…

Hello guys, I am here to say that I feel each and everyone of you. We're going through some tough times because of corporate/wall street/bankers greed since 2009, COVID, and now probably WWIII. It's hard to blame, are all suffering. I am happy and glad how people are rising up to this bullshit! Back when I used to work, I refused to be a slave although I was getting paid good money. I resigned 3 times, last time it was 2018. It's communism at it's finest, they always socialize the losses and privatize the gains. You're always expendable. At the moment I am going into cryptocurrency, buying cheap coins hoping that it will 2000X in the future, I've invested in mining rigs to generate coins, also I buy from the exchanges sometimes. I mean they are automating the entire “WORLD” and doing work in real life must be rewarded with…

The boss of British ferry operator P&O Ferries has admitted the company broke the law by laying off 800 staff without consulting workers’ unions. CEO Peter Hebblethwaite told lawmakers on Thursday that there was “absolutely no doubt” that, under U.K. employment law, the company was required to speak to unions before making mass redundancies. “I completely throw our hands up, my hands up, that we did choose not to consult,” Hebblethwaite said. P&O Ferries attracted public outrage last week after firing 800 workers via video message and replacing them with low-wage agency staff reportedly earning under £2 ($2.63) an hour — less than a quarter of the national minimum wage. Footage quickly emerged of crew being marched off of boats by balaclava-clad security while replacement staff waited in vans at ports.
