Antiwork

Spare account. I am a female engineer. For my 10+ years of professional experience I've never had the same job for more than 2 years because some mid-level male always got spooked by a smart female. I have clawed myself into low management a couple of times – always with proven success – only to be austed at the next management change. And yes, I have taken it to the union and to senior management – I've even sent the story to the press for good measure. nobody gave even half a shit. Sometimes I went when things got intolerable, sometimes I got laid off during restructuring (or defacto laid off like being ordered to work too far from home for being able to manage with small children). After my last job I had to take sick leave for burnout because it got this bad. I'm no attempting to work…

Title says it all. After 5 plus years at my company I decided to quit without a job lined up or anything. While scary, I can’t tell you how much better I feel knowing I don’t have to go back. I felt so good to walk up to my POS boss, turn my stuff in and say “I’m out”, see his face freak out because he knows without me he’s screwed and then causally walk out of that place for the last time

Tyson chicken recorded record profits last year at 3 billion dollars. This past quarter they already recorded a 1 billion dollar profit. But keep raising those prices!

It makes my soul sick. While I wish I could feel ok about working on the latest vapid consumer product that pollutes people and the earth, I have many issues with it. How many people and animals have been exploited to create the goods we don't really value that much anyway?

I hate how toxic management basically ingrains in our heads that it's not okay to be sick. That when we're sick we should still be working and be prioritizing our job over ourselves and our health. I shouldn't feel bad about being sick. It's not like I purposely chose to catch a cold or whatever other bug keeps going around. This needs to change because we are people and we matter more than some big company that could replace us tomorrow. I just want to live in a world where if you're sick, everyone just moves on and doesn't make it an issue and you can come back after a few days when you're better like nothing happened. I shouldn't have to feel guilty about being sick and having to call in. I shouldn't have to feel guilty about my own health because my health is my problem and no…

Hi, I'm a 20 years old college students working part time while study in Malaysia. I'm working part time mostly just for my pocket money. Well yesterday I went to an interview for a cafe nearby my house and got the job. The pay is 30 percent better, better work hour, better environment.(The shop I currently worked in doesn't have staff break room) I told my boss I'll stop working with them after this week, so they aren't too happy with that. Given they always experienced staff shortages and untrustworthy staff. (there's two staff who've been caught stealing money from cashier register, one of them stole over 500 MYR). Now she's threatening that she'll withhold my March salary if I quit this week. Tbh my current pay is below average and I only got a 50 cent raise in my hourly pay in last month. How should I handle this…
