Antiwork

So some drama has been going down at my job lately because 95% of the staff hate one of our newer managers and today my GM was pulling each of us aside individually to ask us if we witnessed a certain incident that happened the other night where she (the manager everyone hates) got into an altercation with a staff member and sent them home. There were a lot of messages in our group chat that night pertaining to that specific incident and just other complaints and things about this particular manager. Someone in the group must have showed our GM the chat because in addition to asking us about the incident at work, he asked us if we are in the group chat and if we saw anything in the group chat that night about it because they are “doing an investigation”. It was unclear though whether they are…

Every time I see desperate LinkedIn posts and how much job seekers have to put effort to find a job, it makes feel sad. Workers have allowed employers to gain too much control on their labor and living hood. I wonder how long can this continue? I am also concerned that LinkedIn is encouraging job seekers to become narcissistic. Your thoughts ?

I left my full time night security job because I was having up to five panic attacks a day due to the various factors of sleeping until the afternoon, barely seeing my family, and being forced to do mundane non-security tasks, so I got a job in IT working for a software company. I was hired to “work with the software and support team to help organise sprints for new features and development, while studying programming to join the development team next year”. Since that time I’ve been seconded to the support team entirely and for the last month and a half I’ve been making online bookings for customers and doing general support work. My prospects of joining the development team seem nonexistent and all day long I say and do the exact same thing, creating the same stressful cycle I was in before. When I first started it was…

Was I given a two week notice when you cut my hours in half around Christmas time? No? Oh ok then it’s kinda like that isn’t it. I’m trying to leave on a decent note but at the same time I was really hoping the boss would just say don’t bother coming in for your last week.

This morning I woke up with a migraine (feel better now) and texted my boss (who is a nurse) that I wouldn’t be able to make it to my shift at the sandwich shop where we both work (can’t remember why she’s working at a sandwich shop when she’s a nurse, but oh well). She gets all in a tizzy and asks me why I only told her last-minute. Like, I didn’t plan to wake up with a migraine and sleep through my alarm. So then she texted me that I still need to go in but that I can leave once a third person shows up (only one person was there so far). I didn’t go for obvious reasons but the fact that I told her I had a migraine and she still wanted me to go in is making me want to not show up tomorrow. Which would…

This is a long stretch but was there a post here a few days ago that was a story/quote from 1800s or some other early time about how the business owner was being invert viewed and he said the worker needs to make more so the employer can sell more and don't talk too loud or he might hear you?

I work in an industry that takes advantage of customers and is making it harder for the staff to make money. I am starting a business that will hurt the industry and trying to stay anonymous in the process before I start making enough to quit. I'm hoping to cut their profits 500 to 3000 per customer. It is not market-specific in terms of location. Do you think I will get fired if they learn I am starting it? I'm looking for a solution to the greed to give some power back to the 'every person'

so I started a new job today as a pharmacy tech. it’s a job but I also have 0 debt. I opened my welcome emails policies and something irked me right off. the sick/absent policy is to call 2 hours prior to shift and speak to the pharmacist. if the pharmacist can tell you an it med you can take to manage your symptoms you are expected to come into work. Excuse me what? the pharmacist isn’t my pharmacist and isn’t discussing phi between others a violation of hipaa? it don’t set right with me anyway I look at it. what do you all think am I crazy?
