Antiwork

Just started work in Colorado January 2022, within 1 week tested positive for Covid after a co-worker came in sick, same week I started. Can i get paid for the 10 days i was required to quarantine even though I just started & hadn't accrued any sick time yet? Thanks for your help!

This happened 3 years ago. One of the reasons I stopped being friendly and stopped trusting people in the office. I work for a small digital marketing company and we recently started accepting interns in our company. This is a paid internship. I was assigned to handle two interns and help train them in web development team. One is a 22-year-old guy and the other a 24-year-old girl. I was only 22 back then but I was one of the pioneer employees and I was promoted in a short time to lead the web dev team. It was a little intimidating to train someone since I don't have much experience back then but I believe I did the best I could. I showed them how the work was done around the office. I made sure that they will get the necessary skills and experience for their future employment. I gave…

“You must return to the office” vs $5 (or more) per gallon gas. THIS is gonna get “interesting”.

I am finishing an MBA right now, 4 months to go. I cannot get an entry level role for anything at the moment. I have worked for 20 years to get to this point but cannot progress. I really feel like us poors should just know our place and stay in poor people roles. We are not welcome in even entry level good roles for the higher class. I cannot even get entry level roles with 10 years relevant experience. I see so many LinkedIn post posts with someone with no job experience getting roles I have applied for. It really feels like I am being to told to know my station in life and just do what I was born in to. There are many studies that show poor people that get into Ivy League schools do no better than us poors that go into lesser institutions. America is…

Thank God I have never accepted this and refused to go. “Trial” like wtf .. I'm sure a trial is a day or two which is a complete waste of time. I remember this woman wanted me to work in her shop as trial. I was given no information as to whether I'd be paid. Like bye go waste someone elses time. Lol

I know this is anti work. Lots of memes and individuals venting. I do know it’s a place where lots of us commune indirectly and share. It’s also about taking back and standing up for ones self for fairness in time, pay, benefits and balance. Sooo in that spirit I had a question. I’m not going to vent and brag. I currently work from home. Sole bread winner for the family. I have looked into getting an additional job. Most have been: * Requiring in office work * Call center/ phone work. * some form of micromanagement / monitoring. * Inquiring about present occupation often at times requesting confirmation that other job will not interfere. Not interested in * call center work * Having someone over my shoulder * reporting what I do with off-work time I work from home and my current job started out as IT help desk…

I worked briefly for a small cleaning company (about six months) and was told I was an independent contractor. That being said, I was told where to work, at what time and while I had no benefits (which I think is normal if you ARE and independent contractor) it seemed like I was just a regular employee considering I had no choice or say as to what time I worked and what I had to do. Fast forward to the end of the six months, the company seems to have been sold to an actual management company and our paychecks were now being taxed and set like normal employees. But, when I request my 1099 form from the original owner, I was told that it was my responsibility to track all of the finances for tax reasons. I was caught off guard by this since when I worked for UBER…

Worked at a nonprofit in homeless services. My company had divisions in 16 different cities. In my city we managed a low income housing unit in conjunction with the city. One day a client of mine, who lives in our managed apartments, is yelling about living conditions, roaches, bedbugs, mold. And said how it never gets taken care of. Well, I felt personally responsible since he lives where we are suppose to manage. I decide to talk to the CFO. Her and the CPO say there's no money, apartment management is a loss every year, and this year was -$10k in the red. I'm skeptical and ask for the accounting report. She Slacks me a quick hand typed response and calling that the official report. I say I can go to finance department and ask them for it if you're too busy. She then sends the actual report. Turns out…
