Antiwork

Anyone else watching “Severance” on AppleTV? It’s one hell of a powerful commentary on the exploitative nature inherent in work

How can I make sure for my employees that they really feel good about their job? I founded a company last year and it’s growing. I will hire more people soon and want to get the best people, but also give them the best company to work at. How can I do that?

Or high productivity in any field, really. And I know it also hurts people who have IBS, simply not feeling well, etc… I am focusing on menstruation here. You will be seen as a more successful worker if your productivity stays up because you don’t have to deal with the daily requirements of a period when it comes. It’s similar to making Amazon workers pee in bottles, except the risks are slightly higher…like having to keep in a tampon too long and at worst risk toxic shock syndrome/possible death/amputations/etc., and/or bleed through your clothes at best or have your productivity take a hit to deal with it

All 3 r crap lol !! All boss and good for nothing Im rlly fedup with my job They overworked me and were against work from home.. 1 boss crap after the other

Sorry if this doesn’t belong here mods. And sorry for the length just have to get this out somewhere. I learned something about my old company that’s really bothering me and I wanted to share with y’all. Backstory: So I worked for a company for 5.5 years and left last year. I enjoyed the experience 95% of the time and was sad to leave. I was a team lead and trying to get into management I spoke to my boss and his boss (director level) and they agreed that with my prior experience and years of service and leadership I should totally be in the running for a promotion. Only problem, there weren’t any positions open and so I waited a year for something to come up but nothing did (that I was interested in). Then C level announced a hiring freeze with an unknown end date and that was…

Starbucks has successfully marketed its image as a place of employment that cares about its baristas for a long time. It has only recently come to light some of the mistreatment baristas endure through the persistence of fellow baristas fighting for our labor rights through either attempting to or successfully organizing unions. As someone who works there as a second job, and lives with someone who works there as a primary job, I want to bring to light the true Starbucks “Employee” Experience. The individual I live with applied for a full time barista job on the company website. When discussing hours per week in the initial interview, they asked for at minimum 30 a week. The interviewer explained that this would be possible in time; however due to training it might be a slow start up. With the presumption it would not be too long of a duration, the…

I recently started working at a bar and the job is rewarding and fun, but there’s one manager no one really likes. This manager has informed me I have 3 hours of online training to complete by wednesday, in order for me to be ‘fully employed legally’, as it’s a requirement in my area that bar staff are trained in these areas. I’m fine with doing it but it’s completely unpaid, so I work 20 hours a week whilst studying for a degree, and I have to do this online training in my own time? Yesterday he even said to me ‘there’s no time during shifts but bus rides home are a good time to be doing this stuff’. I’m not doing a 9 hour shift, finishing at 1am then doing an hours more UNPAID work on my bus ride home, thanks. I’m seriously considering refusing to do it unless…

Hi all! I'm not giving up my job any time soon because I have financial responsibilities. However, I want to o focus more of my personal energy on my creative endeavours. When I was a teen, I went to school because I had to but still did all my creative stuff with friends at weekends and holidays. I want to recapture this, but I'm always worried about “but art/theatre/film/music doesn't make money!” I want to be able to enjoy my creativity without judging its worth on money. I know I'll never make a living off a creative life, but part of me says that means it's not worth my time. How do I change my mindset?

America is a weird country. It’s awful living here if you’re single with no kids. You get screwed the most. Your supposed to work yourself to death while getting into fitness and going to college. If someone works 50-60 hours the last thing they want to do is go out to a party, bar or club or any social event to meet people. I didn’t even mention that working 1 full time job isn’t even enough to pay your bills. And if you can’t afford any hobbies or any joy of life it’s “your fault”.
