Antiwork

Antiwork: Who Is Doreen Cleyre? Sexual Assault and Rape Allegations, Doreen Ford On Reddit (showbizcorner.com)

I worked for a small after school care center from mid December until I just quit yesterday. I only worked 4-10 hours per week and was paid cash, under the table. Pay days were on Friday. The first two or three weeks were great and I was paid in full each Friday. Then she began paying me partial payments, promising the rest “when she could get to the bank”. She also began shorting me, somehow miscalculating my very small amount of hours. She would claim she still owed me $20, when it would actually be more. I would remind her of my actual hours worked and patiently wait for the rest. Two weeks ago I told her I would have to find a second job as waiting on my pay wasn't working for me. She said she'd give me more hours. (She didn't) Fast forward to last week. Not getting…

Been reading a lot of these stories and thought I wouldn't relate because I currently have a good job with benefits at a great company. But they did remind me of some of the really shit and abusive jobs I had in the past. One in particular at a well known hotel chain I thought id share. So, it was about 7-8 years ago during the summer when I was in college. My mom worked as a special events caterer, and said they needed a dishwasher and suggested I should work part time for beer money. Get the job easy enough, and am initially scheduled for a few 4 hours shifts a week, great! Immediately things start to go off the rail. My shift schedule quickly becomes 6am-?? like what the fuck is “6am-??”. ill tell you. Its when you're the only person cleaning the entire restaurant and when everyone…

I’ve worked full time since I was 16. Apprentice wage was £2.97 back then and I managed to maintain a rented house on my own by working ridiculous hours and eating mostly noodles & bread. I’m 23 now and I’ve somehow fumbled my way up the ladder to a 30k sales role. I’m good at my job, it’s secure, it’s fulfilling and I don’t despise it like almost all other jobs I’ve had. But I feel no happier or successful than I did 7 years ago. That realisation got me thinking. Is accommodation (in the conventional sense) really worth the cost? Is it worth sacrificing most of my waking life for? I’ve been unemployed for 3 months of the 7 years I’ve lived independently and despite the constant financial stress; I felt so much more free. I managed to lose weight, kick bad habits and get my life together. You…

Do Jobs actually check if you are bullshitting on your resume? Like would they check if you actually have a college degree.

Hey yall, I'm not sure if update post are allowed in here. Never read the rules, I'm on mobile. Anyway just wanted to say LANDED THE BEST JOB IVE EVER HAD!!! I know this is antiwork and all but I posted a month ago about being tired and out of work and screwed over here and there. But this is much much happier post. I got a job making $70k a year, last year I made 21.5k. I can not fucking believe it. My wife and I combined last year made 48k. This has been one of the best thing to happen to my family. The work isn't the most rewarding and there's a lot of overtime. But I'm hourly and am so inspired to make as much money there as I can for a couple years. Again. I know this is anti….antiwork But me and my family are just…

Gonna be a shorter post than usual, but these two companies suck. Been working at Domino’s since December 1st and it’s been a nightmare since then. Coworker recently quit after a year of verbal abuse from the female manager. male and female manager are married btw. Female manager is also pregnant which she frequently uses as an excuse to dodge tasks and berate people. Your happiness at the job is entirely related to how much you play house with them and it’s unbearably cringeworthy how the teacher’s pet coworkers talk about “being their kids.” Female coworker does nothing, teacher pet #1 is constantly angry at me despite the fact that I rarely talk, this whole job is driving me crazy – and this is just the petty stuff. Over the last two months they’ve stolen 80$ in tips from me, which apparently is loopholed because “I” used “too much cheese.”…

It is not red vs blue, it’s the lower class vs the upper class. There is a grey line in the middle, let’s say the grey line spreads from people making more than 60k a year to over 100k a year as individuals, where we know that a large majority of people making under 100k a year, especially in more expensive areas, face the same exact financial issues, where the only difference is by how much they are living paycheck to paycheck, and all still see regular medical checkups and other basic monthly/yearly things as luxury items. One of the biggest things that low wage earning right wingers argue against low wage earning left wingers is stuff like abortion, or when to teach sexual education, and other stuff that right wing media hosts use against religious people. At the top, left wing and right wing voters, politicians, lawmakers, and media…
