Antiwork

Back in December, after we had returned to WFH due to variants, our company sent out a heartfelt letter from HR that our CEO wanted us to work wherever felt right, and that our happiness, well being and security were his biggest priority. It finished with that there'd be advanced notice if they opted to return to a hybrid model. My boss was once my peer, and we've been transparent about our mental health. Mine is GREATLY improved by WFH as I have a very limited social battery and prefer to spend it outside of work. She's the opposite, and has struggled with endless days at her bedroom desk. She said she suspected this is life now and we may never go back in. Less than a week later, she started going in twice a week, but said it wasn't mandatory, however it'd be nice to see me. Things escalated…

You only get one life. You only get one life. Dude, really, you only have one life… That’s why it’s so important to fight for your right to live, because this is the only chance you have… There are absolutely enough resources to live, not only in health, but in pleasure. Wanting to live a simply wonderful and peaceful life is not the problem…it’s possible…400 individual Americans owning over 50% of the collective wealth is the problem… Fuck Oligarchy. Fuck Plutocracy.

When they asked my coworker to cover for my upcoming shifts, he took the opportunity to put his notice in as well. I was standing next to the manager while they were having that conversation and was laughing under my mask the whole time.

(X-posted in a few subs) If there is one thing Americans can count on, it’s for corporations to find a way to make money. While employees are generally happy working from home (not having any commute time, saving gas, wear and tear on vehicles, not having to eat out for lunch, etc), I feel that companies will use this against employees by outsourcing work, not out of country, but to other states. Hear me out: since so many people went remote, people have moved to areas for better standard of living, as they no longer need to stay by the office. Companies know this. Take a look at the cost of living for New York, California, any larger state, and then compare to states such as Mississippi or Kansas. Now imagine a large corporation hiring for a decent remote position. What incentives do companies have to hire someone in state?…

Has anyone been in work environment where they felt they were set up to fail? I recently left a workplace after working there for 5 months. My manager and I had a complicated relationship from the first week. I was told I have time to learn and grow. However, I was told early on my skillset wasn’t up to par. It was strange to work in an environment that labeled itself as free, only to then be punished from selecting the wrong option. During my last week I was utterly over it and subsequently just said how I felt. It obviously didn’t work out. Does anyone have similar experiences?

I'm about 8 minutes from my job but my job in pa wants me to drive anywhere with in 100 miles of my house 9f they need me in different places. Is this legal?
