Antiwork

Has anyone else noticed how many places seem have a job where the person’s sole job is to do nothing but watch the security cameras, just to catch employees doing something wrong? There’s a big sandwich chain, and several local people have told me if they sit, take out their phone, or anything against the rules, the local office will call and fire them on the spot. Hell, at my job, we are all warned that management constantly watches the cameras all the time.

Job Posting: We want an amazing photographer with +5 years experience studio work, who can also be a videographer, model, creative director, social media manager, and sometimes event coordinator. *During screening process, no interview” Hiring Manager: “What is your salary requirement?” Me: “Before discussing a salary requirement, I'd like to hear more specific details about the role, team structure, and environment. However, based on my previous pay experience and how I am interpreting your job listing, I'd expect a salary range of $XX-XX. Can we discuss the job listing in more detail?” Hiring Manager: “While we love your work and are impressed by your portfolio, we regret to inform you that we cannot meet your salary requirements and will be looking for someone else” Me: Annoyed because I just wanted to confirm what they are asking for and wondering how anyone doing all of that work would take something less…

So I have medical documents citing that I have covid for 3 weeks and this last test showing I’m negative. So I was MIA for 4 weeks for work at this warehouse that packages paper. I hate this job. But it’s the only job in a while that could pave my future and family for the better. I work through an agency, and the position was temp to hire. So I stuck to my guns and grind through 12 hour shifts for 5 days to try to keep it, and survive a new field or work. Now my agency is telling me that after I’m finally negative. That the work had to keep production so they’ll have to see if the position is available still. I’m mad, sad, irate. I’d take this on the chin but I have my family to support. I work in California. What the fuck can…

I'm a student at a university in northern Virginia and I'm soon to get my bachelor's in government and international politics and honestly I'm not sure if my degree will get my a comfy office high paying job ro live in the dmv area. I grow weed and shrooms and I'm good at selling them I can make more money and love comfortably cartelling. At this point my degree will just show people I'm educated.

I’ve been at my service job a couple months but the pay kinda sucks compared to others in the area, and they keep adding me shifts to days i can’t do, so a couple days ago i handed my notice in over email. I went in for a shift today, my first since I handed my weeks notice and all the managers completely blanked me, the GM (the way he talks staff is another reason I quit), decided he was going to give me a list of tasks entirely out of my job description. i’m meant to be just a server, which is all i’m paid to do, but he had me drink running, cleaning as well as serving, which i’ve never done before and he gave me no training on. I should’ve refused but i thought screw it it’s my last week. i spilt one drink (not bad for…

My mom (in Louisiana) is the only employee working at a local gas station. The other employee is out with COVID. She's been scheduled for 16 hour shifts more than 40 hours a week. Thing is she's paid in cash, and not being paid overtime. Thinking it's too avoid paying taxes.

I work in childcare and I get paid like shit. I’ve been thinking of quitting for awhile because I can’t afford to be paid $11 an hour. Anyway, my manager and I were talking yesterday and I found out she makes less than me. She’s thinking of quitting soon because she has a baby on the way and she can’t afford things while being paid like shit. She encouraged me to leave because she understands I can’t afford to live, and I’m really happy that she understands. Anyway, just wanted to get that out. Super happy about it.

I was not made for this world And all it's sorrow and hate I was not made for this world And all it's pain and heartbreak I was not made for this world And it's dreary nine to five I was not made for this world Where you're too stressed to feel alive I was not made for this world And it's never ending loss I never asked to be born Yet every moment I pay the cost I was not made for this world And I can't wait to leave To a place dark and peaceful Where I'll never again greive
