Antiwork

For context I’m transferring from one department to another in the same store. One of the problems of working in my current department is that I don’t trust my boss and She has a lot of narcissistic traits. My old boss decided to tell my new boss that I am a “wanderer” and then I wander to the other side of the store to talk to my boyfriend even though my new boss works with my boyfriend every day and knows that I don’t visit him unless I’m on my break. I don’t know why she would flat out lie like that but I’m very upset.

My medications cost over $3000 a month without insurance so I kind of have to have it through work as marketplace prices are ridiculous. Good rx brings it down to about $2000. I quit my job in healthcare due to insane burnout and interviewed for a new job. I told them in the interview I would need to work full time so I could have benefits..they said I’d have to work a 3 week probation period before I could be switched. I’ve now worked here for 2 months and have asked about going full time at least 10 times. I keep being told “I’ll get it figured out” “just wait until tomorrow” “we will take care of you”..and nothing has changed. I’m making great money, but definitely mot enough to afford my medicine. My husband basically told me if I can’t get insurance then I need to find a new…

I recently decided to swap to careers and went to the world I never thought I would. Because I am posting on my main account ill play nice right now. I took this job since I working in tandem with it, they offered for me to leave my other organization and join on with theirs. I am supposed to work in an IT-style environment but it's mixed into education. What was promised/on my job description versus what I actually do is nothing close. Granted I am in a field where things change daily and we have to adapt for the sake of children. I feel as though I am easy to get along and I have solved many tech issues. Recently, I feel that every time I open my mouth to “work on a team” people get mad or their feelings get hurt because I asked questions. I don't understand…

Full disclosure: I work at a start up and one my goals for the year is to figure out how to differentiate my company as an amazing employer and to attract and retain talent. In addition to reading the industry “research” I want to understand what actually gets people excited about who they work for. In my fantasies, I don't work for “the man” (probably like all or most of you). However, real life requires me to have a job in order to eat, pay bills, and to generally do the things I enjoy. That doesn't, however, mean I have to work for a shitty employer. My question to all of you: In a world where you have to have a job to survive, what could an employer do/offer to make the thought of a 9 – 5 more appealing for you? For example – you get two job offers…

Update last post I have been mulling this over and I even called out on Tuesday, I had Monday and Wednesday off. The incident took place on Sunday. After careful consideration I realized, I have put too much effort into that job. I am behind on university assignments, I put my GPA in jeopardy and in the process stopped pursuing my love of photography because I gave that job my life. I am labeled part-time but regularly scheduled for 37-40 hours. They will give me 40 hour work weeks but then every 4th or 5th week give me 37 hours. The company policy is you are only grandfathered into full-time if you are given 40 hours for 8 weeks or more in a row. I put all my effort into that job and constantly produced numbers. Its a big box store so me not being there to get amazing numbers…

If I had a remote job, I'm going to spend as much time as I can either gaming, or web surfing before they fire me. I'm a pretty fast worker so I can nock out a bunch of my work as quick as possible. I don't need to worry about monitoring software because I'll be working on my laptop while playing video games on my desktop, plus I know ways around them. Anyone else going to do this when working remote?

Throwaway because the place I used to work is a relatively small chain that I think could be identified, and myself by extension. This happened a little over a year ago. I worked for a small grocery store chain that specializes in organic foods, similar to Whole Foods. Our store also had a lunch bar, where they’d make meals to order. My shift was in the produce department, which involves a lot of trimming/washing veggies in the back for prep to go out on the floor. The plumbing went out pretty early that morning, which meant no running water (I remind you this is a place where we work with and serve food, during COVID), no working toilets, etc. I left at around 3pm, but the plumbing apparently was not fixed until the next morning. During my shift, I pretty much had two large bins of water to work with…

Here's what I'm hoping to get at. Sometimes Google claims to be the brainchild of its own searches, but you don't always get what you want on there. I'm just specifically interested in not exactly businesses or companies that have already shut down, but ones you think are in such bad conditions whether it's the store or people themselves, that they deserve to no longer exist. It may be also helpful to describe why. Here are the other criteria: If based in America: -Major companies that are basically all over the country do not need to have geographic location -Geographic location is helpful if mainly in one specific part of the country -Smaller companies that are well known in the geographic region or state should be named once first posted on here If based in another country: -Describe which country it's based in and whether or not it is or…
