Antiwork

So I had an interview this morning that I feel went pretty well. The job sounds easy and it's something I've done before, so I'm confident. Do I want to work? Well, no, obviously, but unfortunately my bills say otherwise. But there were some reddish flags. He said “we're like a family” in the office and I visibly cringed (fortunately he didn't see it, it was a Zoom interview and he was looking away). Then I decided to look up the company on glassdoor and such and the only two reviews for it were 2 stars and under. Honestly, I don't care about this job that much. I don't care about any job. I just want to be able to live. I have another interview next Friday for a position I wouldn't mind actually having, though that one I'm not as confident about getting. I guess… If I get this…

Let me preface with I just started this job. I hated it since day one but gave it my all. I had a personal emergency yesterday with a power outage and couldn't get wifi until a friend picked me up from suburbia. Even though I had completed all of my work before the outage and pulled late nights these past two weeks my boss is not only not understanding but also gave me a verbal warning. I had been thinking about resigning and have had a slew of interviews lined up. We just had a conversation and I am tempted to resign asap JUST TO STAY I”VE DONE IT. if i don't i can wait to be fired to reap unemployment….. if i am patient but i currently hate the whole team and everyone.

Hello, I need some suggestions and ideas. I am wanting to organize my workplace, there is a TON of animosity towards the low wages we are earning, and the absolute disregard we receive from management about it. Nobody wants to openly organize because they will get fired on the spot due to our states labor laws. I think it would help us get started if they see a lot of other people showing interest in organizing, and also give us a bigger advantage before we go 'public' with our real names etc. Can somebody suggest an easily downloadable app for both android/apple that would allow for large group chats, preferably with the ability to add different channels? I don't want to use discord, I would prefer a more privacy oriented option. Wickrme would be great if it had an option to advertise rooms publicly. ​ Also I am designing a…

I had a contract with this company that was already off to a really bumpy start. Orientations kept on getting scheduled at obscene hours. I got assigned a client where I was supposed to get paid $100 per hour. I already did 2 hours for them in February. Client is great, love working with them. Come late Feb on a Saturday the owner announces he's shutting down the company to reorganize. OK sucks, what about the money for the time I spent?️ He told me to send a message to someone only for that person to say he's not working there anymore and to contact the owner again. ‼️ So now I'm told to contact this other guy, which I do. Then via slack he says last night at 10pm that the company is not shutting down and he's reassigned my client to someone else (no warning.) Called him out…

Like the title says, I was just congratulated by my boss for getting a 50 cent raise. 21.50 all the way up to 22.00. I have two masters degrees and am good at what I do, but have since realized I've capped out in my profession. I can't afford rent or food for my kids but am not poor enough for aid. I need to switch industries but have no idea how to go about it. I realize everyone else and their dogs are in the same situation but still I'm asking for help. Where do I start, what other options are available to me?

At the time (last year) I was working as an elementary school teacher in Ontario, Canada. I’m now back at high school, which is where my training and expertise is. I had been experiencing some mild mental health issues; a bad combination of my partner leaving me, being unsatisfied with work (I’m not fond of young kids, and having to work with them for 4 months was devastating), and a dash of good ol’ fashioned depression and anxiety. I hadn’t realized that my psyche was apparent in my expression, I thought that I had been hiding it well. Well enough, at any rate, that 7th graders couldn’t tell that I was miserable. I suppose I carried myself differently when I wasn’t with them. The vice principal, who was known to get involved in the affairs of others (and also for incompetency) called me in for a meeting. Said it was…

At one of my previous jobs we used to do a lot of unsafe shit and it wasnt clear at the time because I was/am young and dumb. We would load and unload trucks with forklifts in ways that weren't safe and many times had several hundred kilograms of metal fencing fall off the fork or if the load was too heavy sometimes the forklift would tip forward. Our “yard manager”, someone with an unofficial title getting paid not much more than us, would say jump on the back to help balance the forklift. As I'm typing it out I'm realising we were probably one step away from being in one of those work safety videos. After I left that job my new workplace sent a bunch of us to get our forklift licenses and this is where I learned that none of that shit was okay. The trainer just…

I have been working on a small appliance store for around 4 years. I report directly to the owner and to be honest is a really easy job. The biggest negative with it is the same with any sales job, the negative people, but is something I can deal with from time to time. I also do the marketing, manage the employees, pretty much everything except payroll, and even that has fallen into me from time to time. I actually loved the place at the beginning, the multiple roles was keeping me sharp. Now, the problem that made me get away from this place is that the owner thing is appropriate for the employees to drink on the job. That has of course caused issues. Mainly because the owner insist on making me work 9 hours a day 6 days a week. Every time I try to explain that is…
