Antiwork

Hello everyone, The title pretty much sums it up. I have been at my job for almost 3 years now. I have been praised for my work many times and I have always gone above and beyond. About a month ago my boss left the company, and my team was moved under a different department head. We hired a new team member (J) around the same time my boss left. He did well on the skills assessment everyone on my team has to take. However, he's not reliable with completing tasks. For example I assigned him a task that gets done every Tuesday, and I found out yesterday he hadn't done this task since mid-January. He also is assigned several files for a client that go out on Thursday, and there hasn't been a single Wednesday he's gotten all the files done. I was recently given a raise and told…

The poor driver has just come to the door with our package which I ordered a few days ago. We are in a red weather warning area and the wind is so bad that the van he was in was swaying whilst he was at the door. I will be one of those customers who complain because this poor bloke was getting absolutely battered. We are in the UK and absolutely understand if our packages are delayed by a few days , it's not the end of the world. It will be the end of that blokes families world if a tree falls on him or if his van gets blown over.

I bartend. I work hard and am great at my job, but because I'm for fair wages and safe working conditions, management has been pushing back hard on me. After today's pointless lecture, I got this in an email: Just wanted to recap the stuff we've been talking about: •Multitasking. Constantly working toward the end goal, while still being able to talk to guests etc. •Starting tasks and seeing them to completion before starting the next task. Moving in a linear fashion to expedite processes. Anyone else see how this makes no sense or am I crazy??

It sounds a smidge melodramatic. It sounds like clickbait. And honestly? I wish it were. Alas, it isn't. I'm sure many folks here will relate when I say I've been trying to find a job that doesn't make me wish to no longer exist, (or not necessarily even a job: just some means of maintaining financial stability in a way that is not soul killing) for at least 4 years now. I'm at the end of my ideas, and I need some help. The social assistance programs where I live are not adequate to live on, and have requirements I do not meet. The disability programs likewise are insufficient to live on, with the added bonus of requiring oodles of red tape crossing and the emotional energy to do that, to even be considered for it. I don't have friends or family who are financially able to give me a…

I’m in California and I woke up this morning to a meeting scheduled at 6:00 am for 6:50 am. Most everyone on in my department are in CT or ET. At 8, I logged in, saw the meeting scheduled and responded saying hey, I don’t even wake up til 7, what did I miss? No response so I drove to work and went in. I immediately got a zoom call from my manager. Answered and there was someone on else from HR on and they said I was laid-off effective immediately. The whole department was eliminated. I would be offered severance and placement. They said I would get an email to my personal email and my final pay. I was so shocked I didn’t really comprehend what was happening. Happened in less than five mins. Anyway, after I collected my things and left I thought about what happened. I emailed…

I wanted to go, but I didn’t reschedule until days later after I missed orientation. My apartment became uninhabitable after I got hired and I feel like I was going through a breakdown. My unit is still not repaired or up to code. I stopped eating and talking to friends. When it came to orientation day I just couldn’t move my body to get ready. I do want the position and asked to reschedule orientation which my manager agreed to, but she also asked why I didn’t show up. Not sure if this is the right place for this post.

I'm looking to compile a list of companies that is giving their employees around a 7% COLA to back up my claims. The opposite of a name and shame if you will. Thank you in advance.
