Antiwork

From what I understand people who have autism may have trouble reading people. This can be incredibly problematic in the work place.

I’ve expressed some of this to my coworker, so he’s well aware I don’t have intentions of moving up in positions here. I’m here to do my job with good quality and get along with everyone. he, on the other hand, is adamant about rising ranks and maybe down the road, owns that store. that’s his goal, I’m not getting in the way of it or judging him by any means, my only critique is he doesn’t own a car. he has no guarantee or chance of getting a…

So apparently my gf's manager removed all 3 stools from their breakroom so people wouldn't just “sit around”. So after waiting on a party of 20 for $10 in tips, she can relax and eat a meal standing up at the pop up table in the middle of the room.
