Antiwork

I’m a tradesman. Long hours with heavy machinery and stress. I don’t mind it too much,my choices alone got me here and I understand that. What I don’t understand though,is why I’ve constantly been lied to and cheated. 15 years experience and I never lie to a potential employer. I’m always straight forward about my abilities and the willingness to learn. Yet,literally the last 5 years has been just constant fuckery. Back in august I had hand surgery. I decided to update my resume and just see what was up. I instantly got a call from who I thought was an absolute wonderful man about a job. Literally 5 minutes away and paying decent enough that I could finally survive on a 40-50 hour week. Swore up and down they’d train me and I accepted. Within a week I told I’d be “go to guy” and get training for everything…

As the title suggests, I am frustrated with the way the lower class is getting absolutely rammed by the evolving economic and social events.

Please tell me again how your doing this for my best. Because it is better for me. Today I cried for hours because I lost a job I loved while they told me it was my fault for not being happy enough and that the stress was to much for me. Even though I have never said those words.

So last night my fiancé came home from a bar shift, wakes me up to tell me one of the regulars(who lives above the bar in a multi unit apartment building) had several bed bugs crawling on them in the bar. She kicked him out and informed the owner of bar and apartments via note of bed bug infestation. Fast forward to the next morning she works opening shift right after closing the night before. Notices owner had taken the note down and doesn’t say a thing to her until she approached asking if he saw the note. She was informed that he had another tenant taking care of bed bug problem (spraying store bought spray) tenant later came down during her shift and informed owner that the bug spray wasn’t enough and the infestation was pretty bad. The whole shift several other regulars informed her that this bed bug…
