Blatantly illegal anti-union activity is blatantly illegal.

Not only does Starbucks selectively close unionizing stores over the phony notion of covid outbreaks… they also force all non-unionizing stores to stay open IN SPITE of the risks of covid. Its like Starbucks doesn't care about its employees or its customers. Covid-flavored, anti-union, coffee tastes like fascism. No thanks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbBBSrtc918 https://www.reuters.com/business/retail-consumer/starbucks-suspends-vaccine-test-requirement-after-us-court-ruling-2022-01-19/

Work perks

My employer, a multinational food conglomerate gave us a product labeled T-shirt and baseball hat, with a warm cold cut sandwich wrapped in plastic wrap when everyone complained about our low wages. Thanks *******

Its just crazy how many Businesses are fine ridding that fence between making more profits and loosing everything because they underpay and treat all their employees like garbage. Those “peasants” actually run your business and could shut it down with 1 decision made together.

Fuck people who say “peasants”, and eat the rich. No1 deserves to go without so that any 1 person can have 200billion dollars.

I asked CFO during an interview if he had any concerns about my background his response, “the fact that you have no background”

During the final interview with the CFO I said the usual, like what my day to day looks like, what accomplishments I had, and what personal projects I’m working on. After I was done speaking he starts saying that this position would require me to work overtime, (without overtime pay since this is a salaried position), and weekends. In my mind I was like, this already sounds like conditions I don’t want to be in. Then at the end he asks me if I have any questions. I normally like to ask this, “do you have any concerns about my background?” so I can gauge how I am doing and I know what to work on for the next interview. Then he proceeded to respond with, “the fact that you have no background”. I stayed calm and then left the office. As soon I got into my car and processed…

Why I follow r/antiwork

I’m a Gen Xer, on my second career in a second unionized environment. I’ve worked both sides of the contract in one career, our union members supervise another unionized workforce, and I later became a manager there. In the other it’s strictly on the labour side. So I’ve seen up close, the shitty things management and labour do to each other while the customers finish up the trifecta in a 3 way knife fight. All of that aside, no matter what, there were rules and any worker could, if not a lot else, expect to be treated fairly and equally by the company. The only difference is your seniority date when it’s time to crew. So since my early 20s, I’ve basically never worked for, answered to, or been the voice of “the owner”. The owner in one job was is an ever shifting conglomerate and their shareholders, and the…

After cutting myself multiple times at work and ignoring it to keep working, spending $200+ on tools despite being paid similar to a fast food worker, it’s just a bit disrespectful to say to me “You have to show me you really want to do this.”

That's all. Just kinda annoyed me a bit. Edit: I said similar but I think I'm paid the same. I'm paid $13. I see a lot of job postings for MCDs and such paying $13+.

Ceo’s should have to work their own company

I think Ceo's/owners should have to work in their own store as the lowest grunt. for however long it takes them to earn a living wage. If you pay your work 7.25 an hour and they need to work 60 hours a week to make ends meet then guess what that owner or ceo has to work 60 hours a week right along side you. I bet if we started to do that wed see an increase in wages real quick.
