Antiwork

I work in the UK and have been working for my job for 2 years and a half. This is in a hospital. My original contract was a fixed term contract, and based on performance, it was renewed and I was given an interview to turn it into a permanent role. This is a graduate entry-level role. I was then interviewed and seconded successfully into a mid-management role. This role was also a secondment and the fixed term was extended. While on the role, I interviewed for a secondment in my team to a manager role. I got the job and it was a secondment for 11 months. I have worked extremely hard and was praised for both the quality of my work and my work ethic, as well as having an extremely positive appraisal and feedback throughout the time I have been working here. A few weeks ago my…

So, for a little backstory, I work in a restaurant to pay the bills while I'm getting my education back on track. I live in an area where Mardi Gras is considered a big deal, with parades going on for weeks. This all leads to one final day, Fat Tuesday, which is the finale of the season and generally a big deal. The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays, and I've been told several times by my manager that we would not be making an exception. I made plans with multiple friends from out of town that day and set them in motion a few days ago. Today, the regional manager decided to change course and open, and I was thrown on the schedule without being consulted less than a week before the holiday. I regularly stay late or come in on my day off because I actually like working there…

People that work for black-owned businesses, do you guys deal with the same shit?

Fellow redditors, need your advice. I recently graduated with a accounting and finace degree and have been working at a admin role for the past 7-9 months. I will post the pros and cons of my work in the comments below. Tell me what you would do in my position.

Throughout my life I’ve always been told to study and work hard in college and high school so that I don’t settle for “shitty jobs”. Well I followed everything by book and now I’m stuck at a minimum wage job, depressed, angry and frustrated

Yeah, I know it sounds obvious, right? I had to learn the hard way. I work in IT. I was the sole developer on my team. I worked on both frontend and backend work. I was promised at every annual discussion that “good things were in the pipeline”. This was my first job in a new industry so I stayed because I needed the experience those “good things” would give me. I also got along well with my manager and he always fought for us so I trusted him when he said that. Instead, over the past few years, I have been made superfluous. My team hired another developer part time because we are in different time zones. Initially, it was ok. The small things went to him but the major changes still came to me. Slowly but surely, he was promoted to full time, and now, he is the…

I don't know if this is a repost or not, I just found it on Twitter and thought it might fit here. If this is a recent repost I could not find it. Please inform me and I will remove this.

ERGHH, this just happened and I need to be able to get it out somewhere. A recruiter berated me for almost 20 minutes after rejecting an offer. At the start of January, a recruiter reaches out to me on Linkedin from a major company asking to see if I would be interested in a role. This person came from a major player within the industry so I promptly reply. I hear nothing back for almost a month until she reaches out in early Feb to set a meeting. Several days before our meeting is scheduled to happen, I fire a quick message asking her what specific roles and compensation did she have in mind for me in the company. The response I get back was “There are a variety of positions I think you'd be a great fit for!”. OKAY, that is ambiguous AF. Whatever. I'll just roll with it…
