Antiwork

After 2 years I just got a whooping 65 cent raise. On top of inflation I now pay 600 a month for health insurance. I typically have to pay things late so we can eat it’s getting to the point where I have been having suicidal thoughts every other Friday. A lot of “what’s the fucking point?” I’m 39. I was always told work hard and it will pay off. WHEN? Because I’ve never been unemployed since 16 and I’m more behind than ever!! I’ve had it with working for someone else’s awesome life. I want my own. Im going to make something happen this year or I’m going to dive off of a fucking bridge.

It's been a month since I finally found a job in an office after long searching. I hate the tasks or that I have to work full time (who does) but I also feel like I don't belong here. A person, who started 2 weeks ago is already warmly welcomed and invited to all lunches but who am I to complain when I'm just the quiet introvert. The team is full of pseudo-friendly and fake people. The woman sitting next to me is even worse. I just feel like I don't fit in, they're all highly-motivated people who already seem to be good friends together, everyones work-oriented and I'm the opposite. I dread going to work everyday and the only highlift of my week is when I have doctor appointments in the morning and can go to work later. So my question: would you quit if you were in my…

Not agreeing with that sub reddit makes you stupid imo. And i come from right wing ideology, let me explain. What do you prioritise from the perspective of being a human? Being a useful tool by people who are luckier than you? Technology keep advances, and innocent people are thrown to the streets. Some are disabled, due to work, unable to fight for compensations. How can a simple human keep with a technology pace that meant to become inhuman? So evantually it becomes more clear when there wouldn't even need a technician/programmers needed anymore, and we'll have ultra sentient ai able to to do everything human does many times better, they simply serve the lucky people at the top, some of which may have not even know who was it to provide them with status inheritance, yea thats where my right wing ideology come into play, there is zero merit…

What are the on call rules for GA? I am a county employee and my job is starting the sign-ups for people to be on-call. Do I have any right to on call pay?

I'm so angry I recently got hired for a entry level CNA position. training is paid, im suppose to get a sign on bonus, they made it seem like they where really desperate for people. i finish some online training, they delay my in person training for like 2 weeks because the instructor was on vacation. yesterday i finally got to start the in person training, me and 8 other people turn up. turns out my instructor didnt even know my class was suppose to be happening. she tells us basically that the center over hired, there is not enough hours for everyone to work, her last class still isnt working yet because there are not enough hours to go around. the only reason i didnt walk out on the spot was because i wanted the 8 hours worth of a pay for the day. another kick in the teeth…

So I started a new job in sales recently, going on 4 months now. I got in at the very worst possible time for my kind of work(holidays) all while being blind-sided by the company selling itself to a much larger co. so it's been extremely slow going. While things have been slow I've been living off of my savings. Now that my savings has nearly dwindled to nothing I'm just receiving a check for a project that took much longer than expected. For those two months of work on the one project I was payed in the ballpark of 4k. To make a long story much shorter, Here's the kicker. The tax brackets I fell into was determined as if my check was payed for the last two weeks of work and that I made that much every two weeks. (I haven't made a check in 4 months working)…

I thought “Oh cool, a new up and coming design agency, this could lead somewhere big”. I've mentioned this business in passing before, but shortly after I left when I realised this boat was sinking I leapt away before it took me down with it: I joined a brand new design agency that had zero funding except to pay it's employees to carry out meaningless BAU (Business As Usual) work for it's parent company. They asked that I bring an 'Entrepreneurial Spirit' to the business… Which to me translated as “Just work hard and all will be well.” I kept thinking up ways to go to events to promote the business in other cities to get it moving… they objected as there wasn't the funding in place because the agency wasn't making any money yet… Oh goody. It's only now that in hindsight I realised I was basically being asked…
