Antiwork

I've been with my company for enough time to keep myself competitive and shop around in the industry. I was offered an interview early this morning and the manager tested my knowledge and skills. He was impressed. He was impressed so much he told me to show up 7am Monday and winked at me as if it was a joke, as I told him “change is scary, I need at least a week to think.” There were red flags, we work with chemicals and they have a range (eg 1-2 fl oz per gallon) Your ultimate goal is to use as little chemical as possible to get the job done correctly. This manager fills up tanks and you put whatever he wants down, at a rate you do not know, and has you spray these chemicals in suburban environments. I make $55000 a year, working for him I might make…

So my douchebag of a boss tried to fuck me over by refusing to pay my salary for over 6 months. He's finally agreed to pay me after my union went after him but now he's payed me way less than he was supposed to. So now I have to go through the exact same thing over again… Sooo i thought iif he wants to make my life difficult I'm gonna do the same thing to you! I've been ordering Jehova's witness to have a chat with him in the early hours of a Sunday. I've been subscribing his work mail to mailing list's of every gay porn site I could find. I thought about prankcalling him but that wouldn't be that funny. I'm looking for ideas to make his life a living hell !

Been working at a job for a number of years and became a subject matter expert in my area (data analysis).Over time received numerous promotions and raises but stagnated for the last 2.5 years. Spoke to my direct about it and he told me the new paradigm was not for traditional upwards movement any longer. Instead I’d be expected to take several lateral moves which may not include any financial increases. Thanked him for the advise and started looking for a new job. Found one at a 20% increase and less responsibility. Resigned yesterday and my manager immediately wanted to match the offer. Told him matching would not do; they would need to offer me 10% more than the new salary. He told me to GFM! CEO called me (I know him from prior work) and asked me what it would take to make me stay. Gave him a number…

So For some context I work at a school district, and I do lots of work. I substitute, clean (this is important later), do some work in the kitchen etc. I guess you could say I’m just an all around worker. So about a week ago I was working as a substitute for a class with a few kids in it, and they pretty much had a free day. The teacher left very little work for them, and once they finished it they kept the noise low and we’re quite respectful. Eventually I got bored, and since the kids were behaving, I got on Reddit. I was scrolling, mostly just looking at cats and stuff, when all of a sudden the principal (a complete dickhead, btw) walks in to randomly check up on the class. He starts asking general questions, how’s the kids, what are they doing, is their work…

I have a solid career and my LinkedIn profile is where I get a good part of my work, but I never go on there. Recently I’ve been job hunting and responding to messages….. and I just cannot believe the content that gets shared or passed around. Some small amount of it seems to be coming around to understand employer abuse is ridiculous – but good lord the bootlicking is just EVERYWHERE on that site. I guess propaganda is a helluva drug. Anyone have a different experience on LinkedIn?

Honestly. We have two main “right-wing” parties in the States, with one being more extremist than the other. Nothing beneficial for the low-income working class even gets done, despite false promises. What can we do to further the movement, and ensure something is done, when the main political parties are practically on the same side? Not to mention, a good majority of them are extremely antiquated in today’s society. It just seems like a system, that is designed to be entirely against the lower class people, who barely even have a voice.
