Antiwork

I’m sure this will never make it out of New, but wanted to share this in case it helps anyone else. I started at a smaller company (50 people) in 2010 as customer service and worked my way up to a Director position. Worked my butt off to keep the company successful and growing from single digit millions to over 50+ mil in business. I got small bonuses and raises but never proportionate to what I was able to do for the company’s bottom line, but I figured that was just the way it went. After seeing my department go from 4 people to just me at the start of the pandemic, I knew it would be ‘lean’ for a couple years and knew I would be in the shit. I worked my butt off again and we got to the point where I was able to add another person…

Long story short, I go barefoot almost every where ago for the health of my feet and back, and for the past 9 years, I've taught shoeless in the classroom. New VP comes in and decides it needs to come to an end. I contact HR and after a bit of runaround – the lady didn't want to answer my question if I can go shoeless in the classroom if I'm in pain, instead she kept offering me medical advice, she finally admitted in an email, “There is no policy, but it is professional expectation that you wear your shoes.” I end up getting a doctor's note as well just to cover my ass even more so. I searched up our district policies and I can't find anything that would specifically be against taking off my shoes in the classroom. I also want to have my students do so as…

Just quit my job. Don’t want to work for “the man” anymore.

Hi. I live in a nj suburb. I do not have a driver's license yet and am considering taking a job in another suburb in nj. I would likely need to go into the office about 3 days a week. Would it be insane to take car service back and forth to work like this? All of the other interviews I've had have been with companies who are in the city so I'd use public transportation. However.. this opportunity in the suburbs is much better. ETA: 25 miles each way. In the morning, get to work by 830. Leave around 530 or 6. Let me know what other details would be helpful.

So I've worked this job for almost year now, I've gottena raise during this time but after unexpected expenses and rent going up and the possibility of moving soon, it really doesn't make enough anymore. I got a job offer that starts next Tuesday on the 8th and has training for 5 days a week 30hrs, $15hr training pay, but then goes down to $7hr as a server with projected average of $20-$30hr after the grand opening. And even if I get only the $20hr with those tips then I'd be making a good almost $8 more than what I currently make. I love where I currently work but the schedule never comes out before 1pm on Sunday with the first shift starting Monday morning. So it causes a lot of anxiety of not knowing when I work for so long. They also schedule 12hr shifts for me most of…

Hi all My CEO and senior management group takes questions of any staff member and answers them in front of all staff. I have been asking questions in the past and I received (surprise surprise) very political answers, meaning lots of talk without saying anything. I even tried a clear “yes or no” question but it's the same bs…can't get shit out of them even if you are trying to squeeze them. Anyway, my biggest issue with the CEO is that the work culture changed a lot since the CEO started. The previous CEO was chilled af. Fair, reasonable and for example was someone who would catch up with anyone for a drink if he is available. New CEO is going down of I Don't Give A Fuck and it shows. Staff morale is down big times etc. Of course lack of money is used as an excuse most of…

With all of the scams and people putting “remote” but actually needing you to come in, I've all but given up hope of finding something. Do employers just assume the pandemic went away? Do people not care at all?
