Antiwork

After some time being a self contractor participating in clinical trials I may have to enter the workforce again. Any advice on entering back and making sure it’s not a shit place?

Starting a new job at a big box retailer Monday and planning on walking in asking wages and if anyone here has their union card.. what other tips ya got for me? Should probably make some flyers that have the iww website on it as well as a link to antiwork.

At the end of January I got a new job, I’ll call it job B, a step up from being an operator to beginning to actually be able to call myself a machinist. This new job was four 10’s M-Th with a dollar more per hour. Seemed like a nice change from my old schedule, which was 6hrs Wednesday and three 12’s Th-Sat. In the finals weeks of my old job, I’ll call this job A (they were going out of business) the COO and head programmer from Job B came through to talk with most of us, encouraging us to apply as they were looking to grow their machine shop. Now getting to the point, the schedule of four 10’s was the “standard” hours for the shift. On my second day I was informed we were currently doing five 10’s. I was fine with that, it’s not two bad.…

My division within the company i work is being sold. Ive requested a copy of my employment file. I was told I had to submit a signed dated letter for said file. How should I word this letter? To legally bar them from leaving a single thing out, and also to be as fucking snooty as possible?

I am a CMHC who is just starting up private practice. Woohoo! I was recently let go from a clinical management position because I was too staff-focused. quite honestly, I sat in a lot of meetings with overwhelmed supervisors that were trying to guilt underpaid direct care staff into taking on more and more as all our more clinical staff left. You know the drill. I was very vocal about how we would lose less money on turnover if we paid staff better, and when we exploit/overburden the labor of staff how that effects the quality of care for residents/clients. my focus was more on education/training/supervision, identifying resources, and just showing up for my staff and helping them process their interactions,help de-escalate our residents. I really loved my job, my staff, my team etc but my direct supervisor was just too overwhelmed and constantly absent. and felt my work undermined…

I want start by saying I really like my job. I've worked in many fields and this is by far the least stressful environment I've ever been in. I'm also in talks to buy the business down the road so I'm not going to be leaving. I work in a small custom cabinet shop. 3 total people, my boss, another employee, and myself. We do work for clients that are on both sides of the spectrum. Solid middle class, all the way to multi-million dollar homes. We are also busy beyond belief. We are about 6 months out and have a few jobs lined up for February. With that being said when I was hired a few years ago my boss told me he doesn't pay overtime. He claims that people work less during regular hours just to work for OT. As mentioned before we are incredibly busy and are…

My team hired a lot of new people recently and during our last meeting we were told that a position for team lead/ manager was just opened (much higher pay, better equity, more benefits) but we'd have to “fight for it”. They said that people who “show more dedication” towards their job (working extra hours, staying late, taking calls after hours etc) will have a much higher chance of being promoted. Is this legal?? A classic divide and conquer tactic?

Ill go first. At my current job i have to wait 2 whole years before i get 1 week of paid vacation time.
