Antiwork

Excuse the long post. I snapped. After about 5 years of working for this man, I snapped and funnily enough it was all over a microwave. I’ve worked my ass for this person, I was employed by them when they had a call center company, helped them grow and when the rug was pulled out from underneath that company, I was there until the day it died. That’s where the promises started coming in. “I’ll make sure you’re earning £300-500 a week!” Great! I think to myself, I’ll do just that. That was 2016. It is now 2022. I’ve earned £300 on maybe 3 separate weeks. My “boss” decided to start another insurance company, to keep a few people in jobs. It’s been nothing but a nightmare. 3 people, 0 profits in 2 years, no pay rise for me (but the few others that work there) Now you may think,…

This happened around 3-4 years ago. I was working in the body shop, keep in mind this company makes billions per year.

The emt staff at bmw get called and they get there maybe 5-10 mins later, a supervisor makes them move him “safely” out of the way so that work can resume and the vehicles can get through. The man ended up returning to work 2 or 3 weeks later and was fine, however that is one of the moments I realized these factories do not value someone’s life whatsoever, they had no reason at all to move him. 1-2 years before that, a subcontractor in the paint shop got killed…

An absolutely nightmare of a job, with a thousand bosses and managers, selling the worst product you can imgine to old people, telling lies all day to scrath a crumb of money from people that can't afford the things they were buying. And even then, they tried to make her feel bad, saying that she had a bad attitude and that is not compatible with the company. I fucking hate capitalism.
