Antiwork

I am in BC. My employer wants to schedule me for back to back shifts in different departments, which can sometimes mean 10+ hour days. I am told that because I'm working two shifts in different departments, the extended hours do not qualify for overtime. Can anyone confirm if this is true or should I start looking for a new job?

When I was a kid it always seemed like adults had to suffer to have a career. Very rarely did I meet someone who appreciated their job. Most of them hated going to work in the morning and wanted to be home as early as possible. If they had a decent quality of life they usually sold their soul to get it. Meanwhile, the most fulfilled people did their passions for a living but are living in squalor. I've never known a person who relaxes by filling out Excel spreadsheets or crunching numbers. They usually partake in some kind of art – Watching TV/movies, listening to music, or even creating something themselves. When given an option for leisure time, most people gravitate towards things created by people with passions or a form of art. So how come if so many people value art, the people who create the art are…

Hello antiwork ppl. I’m a college student looking for work in the summer while I don’t have classes. Any suggestions for a good summer job?

At title says, my employer agreed to pay me £x amount as when I left the company I trained other teams how to do my role and wrote step-by-step guides (basically avoiding those scenarios I see in posts here where someone leaves and the company didn’t realise how much that person does and can’t operate without them). I left the company in November 2021, did not hear from him so I emailed roughly New Year’s Day, January 2022 to find out what arbitrary amount he would give me (I left the ball in his court as, for the last time, I wanted to see what kind of dick he is). Heard back in late January and he asked for my bank details and gave me an amount. Since then I have been sending chaser emails and hearing nothing back. Without taking him to small claims court (which could take years),…

I work at a small art/craft nonprofit. The board of directors are volunteers who don't draw any salary from their positions so you'd think we would be in a pretty good position to get reasonable pay and benefits, but that's unfortunately not the case. I've recently come into some information that confirms there's plenty of money to go around to provide staff with reasonable pay and benefits, but that these funds are being horribly mismanaged by the board instead (not illegally, just very dumbly). I'm not really sure what my first step is. I'm reasonably certain if it came down to a vote I could get a majority of the staff to agree to unionize, but I have no clue what I'm doing beyond that. Is there some sort of guide written up someone could share with me, or someone here willing to set me on the right track?

So I was hired for job A but I have been doing job A + Management B with tons of additional responsibilities. I’ve asked if they plan to have a Manager B position that I’d love to contribute but no luck. My workloads have been horrible so they had to hire one Contractor to help, but $200,000 contract was burned within 3 months and now I’m back to hell loops. Who makes things worst is my Manager. He does not have technical skills and management skills in Science and Engineering. He wouldn’t include me in important and meetings with Management. Infront of everyone, it’s always sounds like it’s He and I do the works, but it’s always me behind the scenes. Dude got promoted for being a “veteran of the company for XX years”. I’ve accepted a leadership role (1-2 years contract but my role is specialized and high-demand) with…
