Antiwork

Years ago, I discovered that most trucking companies will not route a driver through a city where they have a connection, to prevent sudden resignations. (Cue evil plan.) I was teaming, and my co-driver and I were regularly route to Seattle via Denver or Cheyenne. In the winter, the 1400 or so miles (2200km) from Northern Colorado to Seattle can take a week due to weather. “We can't afford this,” I told my co-driver. He agreed. “I'm going to fix it.” I called dispatch. “We're at the truck stop outside Denver. We don't have a load until morning? Heeey, that's great. I'm going to call my niece. She lives in Fort Collins.” (Fort Collins is also the location of a large brewery, about half-way between Denver and Cheyenne.) Yes, I did have a niece, but apparently I confused Aurora (right around the corner) with Fort Collins (about 50 miles/80km.) Oh,…

As topic goes, is that normal? He isn't in the store, at all. Store surveillance doesn't have audio input. But he dictates a very select few radio station we can put on (he has extremely outdated, bad taste in music, *calls rock station, “metal”) The only reason he knows the radio station have been changed, is because he drops by occasionally due to boredom. It's a very small store, and usually only 1 employee working at a time. Is there anything to be done? The boss micromanages in a lot of different aspects that are extremely trivial as well, but I wanna just make this thread on the radio topic alone.

I am the office manager for a large government funded health system. I operate headquarters, therefore the largest facility of our system, and am extremely involved in all operations in four separate departments. Because we’re headquarters, we also house various members of administration and the CEO himself. I’ve been the office manager for 2 years now, and with the company for just a few more months before that. I left retail management (in which I was very successful) and then landed in healthcare (non profit) management 4 months before COVID-19. Before COVID, this location had a myriad of dysfunction. High maintenance providers, loose task structure, people using PTO whenever they pleased, and bad customer service. I was expected to build rapport with these providers but also implement the company expectation that we serve everyone that walks up to our doorstep. During my interview, the CEO himself interrupted to lay on…

I have 5+ years in my industry and the pinnacle designation in that field which I accomplished in less than half the time of the average. I had a good position but after I asked for a promotion, given I was the only one on the team with that designation and excellent reviews every year, they promoted someone else and said mine would come “someday.” I decided to see what was out there. Recruiters came after me on LinkedIn and after several interviews with a handful of companies, I got an offer that was over 50% over what I was making. I accepted. Fast forward a little over 2 months…and they won't train me. I've had a basic overview of systems and they are horrible, inefficient, time consuming. I ask a question and get three different answers . I've been overwhelmed and bullied by the person I will have to…

this is directed at some of the posts i've seen recently from attorneys/lawyers offering information about labor law, pay transparency, unionizing, etc. i feel like i've had a calling recently to help workers and fight for more power to the people of my country (US). i get inspired by stories of the law siding with people over companies and victories in legislation that strengthen protections for the most vulnerable in society. i think becoming a lawyer might be the best way for me to support those efforts. my questions are: what is the path to becoming a labor law attorney? what are some entry points into this field? what are some jobs/positions for this specialization that do the most good?

I got my final suspension which means I’m fired. Reason I said a bad word when I was clocked out didn’t do it, but Feeling great because I’m finally out of the toxic environment
