Antiwork

More people need to start paying attention to the waves Ryan Cohen is making. He’s now starting to call out “leaders” for the shills they truly are. Check out his last tweet calling out Bed Bath and Beyond execs.

Basically was working in a pharmaceutical plant in Ireland as a external employee. Basically my employer said they said I wasn't at senior level. So I found employment elsewhere (Switzerland ,more money too better life too now). Well anyway it was a calibration role. So the irish plant missed routine cals because myself and another guy left for the same reasons. I celebrated them missing targets with some beer

I need to vent so thank you in advance for reading this and letting me get this off my chest to the good ol' internet. I'm on mobile so apologies for all the things. On with the vent! For context, I (29F) left the IT world to start a new career (that I'm still at now) in mortgage. I took the role due to a struggle finding a new job during the pandemic since my IT job decided to fire everyone. Very rude! Anyway, all I was hired to do at my new job was make sure all the things are signed, email people to tell people to sign things, then send those things to the assigned bank for loans. That's the super short version of my job. 4 months in the person hired to give the receptionist breaks complained they didn't like the receptionist break duty so of course…

I've worked in IT for nearly 18 years. Throughout my IT career I've done lots of things from helpdesk to solutions architect (never a developer) as well as a business owner, contractor and FTE. I've never specialised in one area. Always doing different things, which is great and I can work most stuff out but never a full pro in one area. Have I messed up my career earning potentials and basically screwed myself over as all high earning areas are specialised? Trying to work out my next step of what to do and I'm not sure if I need to rethink what I should be doing instead of falling into the next step and filling that gap so to speak. Thanks in advanced if you read this.

Employers refuse to pay more Because of inflation Employers refuse to pay more because of rising housing costs Employers refuse to pay more because of the pandemic Employers refuse to pay more because of The worker shortage Employers refuse to pay more because of the gas prices Do you see a trend here? Because it seems like the solution is pretty obvious to me. If employers are not willing to pay more for higher overall cost of their workers, then the workers should quit, and leave the employer high and dry with the problem. It's not the responsibility of a worker to save the entire company and when they get no additional pay or incentive to do so. I mean, that only makes sense, right? If the small business is going to go out of business because of it, who cares? It's not your small business? If the customers don't…

quote from Letters to a Young Poet, written to a struggling prospective poet in a military academy

I was speaking with a friend in Australia and she has not gotten paid for 3 weeks. She now does not even have enough to take the train into the city to work the job itself. She hasn't been able to feed her cats or herself and quitting is not an option at the moment. ​ Does anyone know what Australian organization she can call to make the government take legal action to get paid? I don't know enough about Aussi bureaucracy to recommend an organization to contact. ​ Fuck this place, she literally cant eat
