Antiwork

We all work for or have worked for a terrible company, it’s how we ended up here. But I feel like we need to start exposing them a bit more, so I just want to know what secrets, or practices that your workplace or company have that they didn’t want to be common knowledge. I’ll go first with the few things I know, not super juicy but it’s something While working at old navy I was not allowed to report a bloody shirt I found packaged inside a plastic wrapper in a shipment box, they took it from me and threw it away. While at the Longmont Humane Society, I learned the current shelter director has been causing the live release rate of animals to go down by atleast 1% every year she’s been in charge, often overruling other departments so she can euthanize animals. To compensate and get the…

I have moderate scoliosis. Ive been suffering from back pain since I was 12. It was minor at first, a dull ache, but by the time I reached 16 I could barely get out of bed without stiffening pain locking me in place. Due to my scoliosis, I have spinal disc's that have fused together at one side, making my pain even worse. At the end of an 8 hr straight shift, I'm practically crippled. I can't walk on my own, and I limp slowly everywhere because my knees and feet hurt so bad. You see, your spine holds a lot of your body's weight, keeping you balanced, and keeping your knees and feet from holding so much, but mine doesn't do that. I had to take physical therapy for a little over half a year (that's all the free sessions I could get at the time) and it helped,…

So yeah what’s gonna happen to us when robots take our jobs? Like honestly it’s happening more and more, especially in the retail sector looking at how Amazon is going their stores where you literally walk in there and grab something and walk out without needing to stop and pay it just knows what you took and charges your account The only jobs that will stay are stocking jobs until they make robots do that too So what happen to everyone who lost their jobs to robots? Will the government step in to help under these circumstances? Or just ignore us and tell us to F off and gaslight is into thinking it was our own fault like they usually do? Like this legitimately scares me to think about our future, will there be mass homelessness because no jobs? Or what?

Divided we fall. Join your union!!!!! Workers across the world unite.

I've never questioned this because this is the way it's always been all my life where I live (Wisconsin) for every job I've had and for the jobs I've known others to have. My question is is this the norm, the standard? Work roughly 4 hours, get a half hour unpaid lunch, work roughly 4 more hours for an 8.5 hour workday (with short breaks in each 4 hour period).

So, my boss gave me a list of things to do for my 5 hour shift. I’m total it would take 7 hours to do. You would assume my boss would find it understandable that I could not get it done, right? Nope, I was told that I had a “reasonable” amount of time to get it all done and that I was “slacking off”. I explained that I it was impossible for me to get it done and even gave him a layout of exactly what I did that day, with the times I did each task. After him treating me like a child for 10 minutes and scolding me, he pulls out a paper and tells me to sign it. He explained that since I am getting written up I will need to sign this and acknowledge that. I explained I don’t feel comfortable because this could be…

Never thought I’d have a story to post on here, yet here I am. I was recently fired from Walmart and have been searching for work for a few weeks. I applied to Little Caesars and got an interview, that I had to call to get info on, despite being reached out to via Indeed. So I went to the interview Saturday, and was pretty much hired on the spot, told orientation would be this Saturday. So far so good. I go to turn in my info Sunday, and had to wait 10mins for the store manager to even get my info despite the store being empty (he was on his phone in the back). I tried to make small talk and was blown off, just generally unwelcoming and uncomfortable. After he brings me back my info I was told to just sign a paper and that I needed to…

It has awful Glassdoor reviews but I thought I'd give them a chance. Don't really care if they rescind the offer, no way I'm taking it without more questions answered (and not by management, obviously.)

I’m a vet tech. I’ve been a vet tech for 2+ years. I became licensed end of 2020 and the pay increase was nice but it wasn’t enough because I still can’t afford anything. I’m living at home because a studio apartment costs $1200 and after paying bills each month, I don’t even have that much left over. I tried posting in another subreddit asking for advice buying a trailer home in a mobile home park because I felt like that was the best option for me and the only advice was “get a better paying job” but I don’t know how!!!! I started out as a preschool teacher making minimum wage. This WAS the better paying job. I don’t know where to go from here, I went $30,000 in debt to get this job just to get paid $35k a year. I was going back to school to get…

I’m just kind of wondering how many people are over the age of 35. To me that would qualify you as an older Millennial. Is there any advice you have for people that just started or might just be going into the workforce? I know this sounds like what would be on r/askreddit but I’m pretty curious.
