Antiwork

I am posting this because I just can't believe the audacity of the bank I work for sometimes. All in all they are a terrific company, but since our last merger there have been some disturbing changes. They are making account opening so incredibly difficult people are choosing to open accounts elsewhere rather than sit for 2 hours waiting on approval from compliance on their documents. Because of this, new employees have an incredibly hard time navigating after the brief training provided. Now, I get an email saying that they have decided to create a “mentor” program where I am expected to train new employees for 30-45 minutes 1-2x per week. I am not a trainer, I myself open accounts in the branch and somehow figured out the ways to avoid issues after opening along with a few other senior folks. I have no problem helping out my new teammates…

Assholes like to jack off about how if you just learned a trade like welding you'd be rich but honestly unless you're on an oil field or a bridge doing licensed structural welding it isn't that fancy. Getting certified? 6 months training and several thousand dollars. And that's on top of the trade school you're supposed to go to instead of college. Also oil field work will seriously make you die younger. I'm in New York and I see ads looking for someone with 10 years experience in brass steel and aluminum for $10/hr and it's like really? I got suckered into an Ironworks job and found out the owner paid new welders $350 a WEEK. No wonder my coworkers were all lunatics, even by welder standards. You get what you pay for, look up a place before you hire them to do work for you. Im not shaming poverty…

I have to get health insurance for me and my husband through work. And like it's pretty good health insurance. BUT I pay more for benefits than I pay in taxes AND both combined I'm paying over a third of my pay to both of them. Universal Healthcare would make everything better. Fuck insurance companies us poor.

It is currently 23°F. His office has a heater unit inside of it. The back of our shop has no heating, so I decided to utilize it to help out a coworker. Clearly that pissed him off. Love it here

So I got a decent job offer yesterday and the pay was fine but I know they can do better. I asked if the pay was negotiable but got back a solid no. I ended up requesting a lil more anyways as the “lowest I could accept” and hit send pretty confidently as I feel there is always a little wiggle room in the first offer. Now I'm second guessing. What if they were serious about it and I said that i can't accept the lower offer? Would they rescind the offer or give me one more chance to accept as is? I know they don't really have anyone else except me applying for the position so it really only hurts them in the long run but I still actually want this job. Now I have to wait until next week to find out if they will accept or not.…

I’ve been walking around to everyone at my job,anyone I know who makes minimum wage and saying one sentence. “Minimum wage, Minimum Effort”

Said by the manager at my last job when my coworker informed everyone she was pregnant. Because she needed to put her life on hold for her $13/hr job.
