Antiwork

My friend works for a delivery company in Manchester, UK. Today when he arrived for work at the usual and scheduled start time of 07:00, he found the building locked and dark with nobody inside. He waited for 45 minutes in the rain trying to contact various managers with no luck. He went home and told his managers he was doing so, and wouldn’t come back as he doesn’t drive and his workplace is a 2 hour walk (this would be in pouring rain aswell) from his house. His managers have since contacted him saying if he doesn’t come to work he could face “further action.” He obviously doesn’t want to lose his job but feels he is being made a fool out of. Can somebody please help and let me know if he has a leg to stand on if he is fired for not coming in? Thanks

I say this because many of you have been in some awful work environments and figured out ways or solutions to fix those situations. So here's some info on my situation. I am wanting to know what would be my best option/choice going forward. I work in the pre-hospital field. I won't go into more details beyond that. We had a co-worker become the department manager as of last yr, and gradually, but steadily, the department has become more stressful and toxic due to this manager. I was planning on leaving this job this year. Won't say when in order to possibly tip someone off that might work with me that browses this sub. At this point, I am not even sure if I will make it to my “planned” leave date. My manager has had it out for me ever since I stuck up for a fellow coworker. Basically…

General question, just looking for insight. Is it beneficial for a person serving at a restaurant to unionize? We all split the tips at the end of the night and make server wages in the Midwest. Management is great, but corporate fails to meet the same expectations they require of us who are the face of their company. Open to answer any other questions, I have nothing to lose if I stay or quit, just looking to see if I can make the conditions better for everyone else regardless of my own job security. Thanks!

I’m a 24 year old who makes about 80k a year and I still struggle to be financially strong my apartment went from 1900 to 2400, grocery, fuel, and everyday items prices are skyrocketing. This life fucking sucks. I’ve given up on my hopes and dreams of buying a house. Our government pretends they care but they haven’t done a single fucking thing to help us but instead they fuck us in the ass everyday and laugh at us while most of them haven’t done any kind of labor in their life. Sometimes i think killing myself is a better option because things will never get better everyone will still fall for the lies of our politicians every single election cycle. Trump didn’t give a shit about us and Biden pretended to care for like 2 weeks when he became president. The rich will never be taxed and if they…

I’m 31 years old. I quit my job because I was being treated like dog shit and it wasn’t paying the bills anyway. Such has been the case at the last 3 jobs. Everything from being written up for having to quarantine, to being screamed at for someone else’s mistake, to having payroll add unpaid lunch breaks that I wasn’t taking… I’m done. Im done begging for basic human decency from employers. I’m done devoting 40 hours a week to companies and still stressing because I can barely make rent every month even though it’s split 3 ways. I’m in the process of moving back in with family and I have no intention of continuing to work, other than doordash. Because what is the f-ing point. Am I the only one who’s come to the soul crushing realization that even my smallest dreams in life are completely out of reach?…
