Antiwork

You mean the two days a week they allow you to lick your wounds?

I graduated from University around 5 years ago with degree in Mechanical Engineering. Ever since I've been working in an engineering position for a supplier within the automotive industry. When I started the compensation seemed fair for a new graduate (~$63k/year + benefits). In my time there I've made significant contributions and some huge improvements in my department. The most significant being developing a software application to improve the way we process test data. This massively reduced the time and effort needed to process and summarize the data as well as made it possible to view and present data in ways that weren't possible before with the outdated application in use when I started. Meanwhile I have a coworker who started earlier in the same year (also right out of the same University, same degree, and working in the same department). I learned early on from him that his starting…

especially not the restaurant in this article! they don't pay a living wage and really don't care about employees. “Despite a myriad of challenges including high pollock prices, labor shortages, and a severe winter storm, Long John Silver’s boasted its strongest Lent sales in many years, an executive said in an interview with SeafoodSource. The Louisville, Kentucky, U.S.A.-based restaurant chain’s system-wide sales from Ash Wednesday through Easter averaged 20 percent higher than average Lent volumes in more than a decade. Good Friday (2 April) proved be the chain’s biggest sales day on record, as well as its highest Good Friday sales. The operator also had its biggest Easter Sunday sales on record, along with its biggest single sales week, from 15 March through 21 March.” If you call off on a lent Friday they literally threaten to FIRE you. They say we can't request off any Friday during lent. They don't pay…

I work on an Assembly line and our breaks are 12 minutes, 15 minutes, 12 minutes. It’s ridiculous we don’t even get at least a 30 minute lunch. Fuckers just want every second of profit .

so, I got comment response on a since deleted post earlier today. the subject was the inherent leftist roots of anti-work and the person I was interacting with seemed to be promoting the mind that we must tone police ourselves and play nice in order to grow the movement. I just wanna get this out there for all the die-hard liberals in this sub. the non-proliferation of of leftist ideals and policies in not the result of some fault of leftism (except maybe that we already play too nice). the hegemonic powers that be, usually some flavor of right-wing elitism, actively stamp out the proliferation of ideas, movements, ideals, and policies that would benefit the general masses. this is because, by the nature of a financial economy, wealth NECESSITATES poverty. if money is finite, in order for one to have more, some other must have less; furthermore, as the pursuit…

Long story short, I am employed at a very shitty company, thay treated me poorly. They push harsh targets on us and since I know I won't be staying I can't give a fuck about meeting the targets. Unfortunately I do need money so I can't quit on the spot or put my 2 weeks notice in just yet, I also don't want to be punished by being forced to come back to the office or having daily talks with the higher ups, so I am kinda forced to do the tasks I no longer care to complete. What to do? :C

I work as a teacher and currently have a fulltime job but don't get paid as much as I should be making with my years of experience since I'm like a fulltime sub. I saw a job posting at a school I really liked advertising fulltime for a few months with opportunity to continue. Applied and got the interview plus a callback but was told the fulltime was offered to an “internal applicant” but a partime job opened up. This told me right away that they probably 99% already knew this was going to happen before the interview. They offered me the “new” part time position but again I have a fulltime job right now with benefits which THEY KNEW. However if the part time job got close to offering me as much as fulltime heck I'd take it. They gave me a number for what I would make and…
