Antiwork

I'm a property owner and wanted to say that I completely agree with the sentiments I have seen expressed on this sub about housing costs and the attitudes of landlords. The idea that a person would live off passive rental income is absurd and perpetuates the gross inequality that exists in the United States. Charging excessive rental prices basically guarantees that the average person will never be able to save enough money for the down payment on a house that would allow them to start building wealth through home ownership. Real estate should be considered a long-term investment, not a primary source of income. In my case as a condo owner, my goal is to break even on my expenses (mortgage, insurance, tax, HOA, and maintenance) with the income I receive from rent. My investment will pay off over time through building equity and appreciation of the property value. I…

I tried to applied for distinct jobs after I graduate from associate in my university, but get a work had becoming hard. I tried in amazon but they become more strict that ever and the other jobs tried to applied had a shitty schedule.

I work in the education world. My whole department has to work this Saturday from 8am-4:30pm. When it was brought to our bosses attention that we should get comp time for this, their response was “well it’s part of the job. It’s been on the calendar”. As if giving us advance notice of forced weekends makes it okay. The job has a lot of these “well it’s part of the job” moments that are required and outside work hours. And we nearly never get comp time for it.

So i started work around 3 weeks ago, i hate it. I've broken down in tears everyday before work so far. To start off with im a young female and im working in the service and food industry. The way management talks to me is disgusting, it's snappy, it's rude and abrupt, it's like im less than nothing when I'm still learning the job and how to do all different parts of it. They have Zero patience for someone new and learning it's disgusting. I've worked in jobs where management was bad but never so rude and ill mannered. The other thing is the hours, they're awful. I'm working parttime and when i was hired i asked to be working during the day if possible as that would work for me and also said i wasn't available a certain day of the week. I'm now working afternoon shifts until night…

I’m up for a promotion. I’m currently the lowest level position in the company. I am the temporary assistant manager until the official hiring of an assistant manager. There will be interviews for the official assistant manager soon, which I want to apply for. Others will also apply, so I’m not guaranteed the promotion. My general manager’s boss (let’s call them Taylor) texted my work phone in a group chat with my general manager (call them Dana) and another assistant manager (call them Alex) an hour after we closed, asking what the sales numbers were. Everyone in the group chat has access to look up those numbers, including Taylor. I don’t look at my work phone if I’m not clocked in. By the morning, Alex had answered the question. Dana was out of town for that weekend and pretty much said before leaving that they wouldn’t be available. Taylor and…

I am always puzzled by employees that stick up or defend shady employers. A couple of years ago at my previous place of employment I was asked to take my overtime and roll any hours or minutes into the next day. This was from the mouth of the owner of an Alaskan small business. Not only was she telling me this but her manager was sitting right next to her. They both Owner and manager can see my reaction as I said “hmmm” and walked away. I brought this up to two of her long term employees and they seemed to have no problem with it. To them it seemed like that was normal. My thoughts of course are why are these people defending her? Protecting her? The pay is crap, literally, it is crap at $11.00. The two employees that have been with her shop for so long and…
