Antiwork

I don’t want to give too many details (I am in contact with a lawyer), but in short I made a joke at work and the manager decided to tell another employee to slap me for it. I said that I did not consent to being slapped, and said that it was assault after I was slapped. The manager then laughed it off and left after saying that “he can’t do it because he’s a supervisor but my co worker can.” After he left the co-worker who slapped me apologized and I don’t really blame her as she needs the money from the job and didn’t want to risk any trouble with management. In my first few weeks of employment I was asked why I was changing my gloves so often. This is a food service job, and I sure as fuck wouldn’t want cross contaminated food if I were…

The unprecedented level of job switching seen last year as the U.S. labor market rebounded from the pandemic gave workers more leverage to ask for better pay and played a role in pushing inflation to its highest level in decades, a new study suggests. An increase in the share of people who searched for jobs while they were employed helped boost inflation by about 1 percentage point throughout much of last year, according to a paper released on Monday by the Chicago Federal Reserve. That suggests job-switching at times accounted for roughly 20% of the price growth seen in 2021. “Workers' propensity to search for another job is an important driver of inflation,” said Leonardo Melosi, a senior economist for the Chicago Fed and a co-author of the report.

I love being a landlord and I hope you all become better people through the renting process.

Well I was like a half hour late a few weeks in a row but she's also not technically my boss either

I remember back in 06 I got a job at rite aide on battery in Seattle, I don't exactly know why but I had just bought a house and quit another job at bartells which ironically just got bought by Rite Aide any way I was working the register and for some stupid reason my manager Bonnie whispers in my ear ” you embarrassed me back there” then proceeds on to the floor and says ” you need to take that line seriously” I don't think anyone would take that seriously nowadays and id never heard anyone say something so stupid on the other hand he did like hitting on the customers and female employees and as white trash as that store was its not to surprising.

My job just said I need to attend 8 training sessions on anti racism, on Mondays or Fridays 10am-1AM. And we will be paid at the training rate which is about 1/3 of our regular rate. ​ What the hell? I'm not awake or available at those times, nor do I feel it's fair to do so much training at a lower pay rate.
