Antiwork

I took this job for a little bit of extra money while I’m at uni, and I’ve had experience at this kind of place for years so it would be easy work. I failed to consider the managers might be awful. The first red flag was, after working there part time for a week, any questions I dared to ask about procedures were met with laughter (even in front of customers). Friday dinner is our busiest time of the week, a few DAYS into working there it was just me and my manager. I started getting busy so I went to the office to find her scrolling through tiktok and asked her to come help. Ten minutes later she came out to a queue of customers and delivery drivers waiting for orders and the first thing she said was ‘so you’ve not cleaned the fridge I asked you to then?’.…

I work at a Boston Pizza as a cook. One day me and one of my coworker were the inly two in the kitchen and he made a dish for an order far takeout. He was supposed to make a full order but he made it a little bit less than that. So the server told him to make it again, so he did. The old dish was of no use now therefore mu coworker started eating it after like 10 minutes and as he started eating it, the owner of the store walked in from the back door and saw him eating. He shouted at him for making a mistake with the order and then eating it without paying for it. He didn’t fire him because they are already short staffed. He accused me of stealing too as I was looking at my coworker while he was eating and…

Just got wrongly accused and terminated today for “stealing” I told the LP guy straight up I didn't steal anything and It's a fucking dollar store. There's nothing here worth stealing and risking your job over. He say's “I'm not accusing you of stealing, there's just some behaviors going on in the store that need to stop”. He said I “saw” my co-worker steal milk and didn't say anything. UM hello? I was in the back changing the trash when she came in and put two gallons of milk from upfront and put them in the back freezer telling me she would buy them later. later in the night I go back there with her and we walk up to the register and I CHECK HER OUT AND HANDED HER THE RECIPT all under camera. The lp guy went over a few other things and asked me to sign a…

How ridiculous is it that people who complain about “social welfare” don't complain about how we're engaging in “capitalism welfare” by letting companies underpay their workforce and then have the government try to make up the difference. We also federally subsidize corporations (aka corporate welfare) at about a 2:1 ratio of how much we spend on social welfare programs. Fucking Nike alone gets 2.1 billion from state tax incentives and I don't think they even manufacture a fucking thing in the US. According to Nike they employ 73,300 workers worldwide, so Nike has received almost $29,000 per employee worldwide. I can't really find how many US based employees they have, but I imagine it's way less than 30k. It's difficult to separate the numbers, but when you calculate the state tax breaks and direct federal subsidies It's absolutely mind boggling. Some low end numbers I came up with is 6:1.
