Antiwork

Boss A has a wife who co-produced and wrote an independent film. It is culturally significant and I do have an interest in seeing it but it is also sad in nature and is the kind of film you have to be mentally prepared for. Boss B tells us Friday afternoon over email that we are all going to see a showing of this film on Valentine’s evening outside of work hours. Me personally, I have no significant other and will not be doing anything on Valentine’s Day nor do I ever really care for it, but it seems so strange that we are basically being forced into watching this depressing moving on such short notice when typically you would be spending it with loved ones. We weren’t asked in advance if anyone had interest in going. I don’t know if I will attend as I want to support Boss…

I started a job a week ago at a warehouse only working 10 hr a week. I’m not in a position where I desperately need money. I don’t understand why the thought of going to work M, W, Th gives me so much anxiety and dread. I’m confident I have OCD (I’m seeing my doc tomorrow and I’m going to talk about it with him) but literally having to go to work has been on my mind all. week. long. literally, it hasn’t left my brain. I’m currently in college and i absolutely love it. however, I can’t figure out what is wrong with me that even just holding a job that’s very low hours makes me obsess so much and causes so much anxiety. I feel so alone. I don’t know what to do.

I’ve been working as an e bike grocery delivery person for 2 weeks now. The job is pretty chill, we ride groceries to peoples houses on e bike and that’s that. I work at 2 different locations. The First Location i worked at had two types of bikes, I’ll just call the white and black bikes. The Black bikes were a bit too tall for me, I’m about 5’0 and I couldn’t touch the floor while sitting on this bike, it even toppled over while I was on it, my manager marked it as unsafe for me to ride and suggested i try the white bikes. These ones fit me much better, I could touch the floor and was able to properly control the bike. Now don’t get me wrong, I know how to ride a bike very well, it’s just the black bikes had something stopping the seat from…

I need some advice please! I’m 22 and admittedly don’t have a lot of knowledge of labor laws and can be an extreme people pleaser. I work as a groomer at a corporate salon and make commission. Technically I make commission or 9.50 hourly, depending on which would be more so it always ends up being commission. I also make my own schedule. I have been told by management that we are not supposed to work over 40 hours, but that there are no rules against it. Two weeks ago was a big winter storm, so I ended up rescheduling two days worth of clients. I am booked out for a month, so instead of making them wait, I just put them on my schedule for my off days. Another groomer and the store lead told me when I first started, that if I have to go over 40 hours…

Celebrity cameos, pyrotechnics, helicopters. Every Single Company paid Millions just to air a commercial, but you can’t afford to pay a living wage? I can’t even enjoy the game knowing how commercialized it is by companies who abuse their employees. Uber Eats doesn’t consider their drivers employees, they’re “contractors” so tax liability is on the person.
