Antiwork

Thats the post. I use indeed and its all terrible jobs. Linked in is unattainable. Otta is wierd start ups. Applying on the company site sucks ass because they make you re-fill out information but idk how to even find the correct positions on there and they never respond to me anyways. Where should I be looking?

I work for a big insurance company, I like to hop around to different departments and do other things a lot. The last position I was in as a claims adjuster caused me some of the most stress I have ever felt and I had to take 6 weeks off to get my head straight last year. In that job I knew how to do everything and was very very good at it, it is just that the work load and constant negativity from the client base really got to me. My work best friend saw how bad I was struggling and talked me into transferring into auto salvage where I would be dealing mostly with paper work. I saw this as the perfect opportunity to help give me a reset period and then plan my next move in the company. When I came in it seemed like a good…

I’m a barista working for an international food service corporation. I’ve worked this job since September 2021 and despite the fact that I’m 25, this January was the first time I’ve ever had a performance review. I apparently did mostly good, but received a “needs improvement”-esque score for a section about keeping a cool head when learning new tasks. This was referencing a time in October when I was unmedicated for my severe anxiety and acute depression on top of my usual chronic depression and spent everyday on the verge of tears trying to convince myself not to step in front of a bus. Admittedly, I had crying fits at work. So whatever a person’s opinion on professionalism would be, that might be considered inappropriate on my part, irresponsible, etc. I didn’t argue with my manager about the score because if I’m being scored on that, I can’t contest that…

Hello everyone! I have a coworker whos always trying to get me into trouble and telling my boss about everything i do and twisting words so i look bad. My boss trusts me and knows its all BS. My Coworker will also stare at me for extended periods of times and talk shit to everyone he can. Theres a word for whatevers happening thats not harassment. I was wondering if anyone knew what that would be?

Like the teeming millions i'm a junior frontend developer freelancing and doing various gigs for online “startups” to pay the bills, currently going through a bit of a dry patch and having difficulty finding meaningful work. when i do find work, i feel there's an 80% chance of the job being a “bullshit job” and being fully remote post pandemic, I have no way to verify anything about my employer. add to that some impostor syndrome and paranoia and i feel like i couldn't be more alienated from the fruit of my labour. talk about capitalism. it doesn't help that the companies i work for are named as if they were little more than fronts for a giant money-laundering operation. this subreddit has given me fresh perspective on modern day employment and the precarious nature of most middle-income professions/jobs has deservedly earned the critique that goes around here. just my…

I'm not complaining of what I have, because I could say I'm more than lucky given what people in Ukraine are going through… but my job has never given me any sense of happiness, accomplishment… I dread it, I work in advertising and I can't mentally do it anymore. I cried last night because of how unhappy I am. I work late almost every day, I work weekends… I'm tired. I get more enjoyment from picking up my dog poop than doing the work I do. Is this life? Would a career change help me? Is asking to be happy ay work too much?

Today I was “fired” from a company in Florida. Wasn’t notified about it. Just taken off the schedule, and had my company email deleted.
