Antiwork

My boss is constantly threatening to take our phone chargers away if he sees us using them. I understand that if it’s against the rules then so be it, no charging, but is he allowed to physically take the charger if we do charge?

In early 2020, I worked as a cook at a local restaurant/bar when COVID hit and a lot of my coworkers got laid off. Those of us that remained got our already low pay cut by at least dollar an hour(think I went from $12 to $11) because of how “slow” business was. Also we all got delegated more responsibilities to pick up the slack of those that got laid off. I started doing the kitchen manager duties(and much more) and they assured me I’d get a pay raise and guaranteed management position “when things got better”. One of the owners bought a brand new Ford truck and a $400k house not long after that. When I finally got that “management position”(which I had already been doing for a year without the title and pay, showed up every single day and never took any vacation days) I found out that…

I've been with this company for a year and a half in a middle management role. It's always been a super small team where I have “worn a lot of hats” aka have been totally overburdened. I'm being paid $20,000 under my worth (at a minimum! I'm basing this on the low-end of the average salary for similar roles in my geographical location). My stupid question: How do I quit? I want to send a letter of resignation tomorrow and offer two weeks notice. I've knocked on this door so many times in the past six months but haven't pulled the trigger. Why? I'm afraid they're going to belittle me and treat me like shit. Can someone please talk sense to me. Edited: typos

I have had numerous jobs and although some have been better than others most I have hated. How do people actually love mundane and tedious work? Some people just live to work and soak up all the overtime work they can even when the pay sucks. Is this a form of mental illness? Why do they long to be at work all day? Where do they get their energy?

But I can't. I can't work at Subway, because it would be akin to shooting myself in the leg. It would slow me down, and nearly bleed me dry. I want to work at Subway, or any food service job really. The pay is just not good enough to support a family with however. Instead, I'm stuck at a dead end job, where I mix a bunch of dangerous chemicals in a vat, and ship them out to a different building so a different team of people can put those mixed chemicals into a big conveyer belt of machinery to make vitamin gummies. I fucking hate it so much. If this company were to just one day explode, nothing substantial would happen out of it. Sure, a lot of people would lose their jobs, but they would also lose the necessity to work at such a soul draining place. I'm…

One year ago we got a new director. He ruined everything good about our 5 person department. Made unnecessary changes, told us how to do things (the wrong way) because he was not knowledgeable about our field. Every single meeting I had with him I told him that his management style wasn't being well received. He didn't change. He created an HR policy without telling us, locking us out of the schedule calendar. He would sit in the lobby to try to catch us coming to work late! WE ARE SALARIED! I feel bad, he wasn't taught how to manage the right way. I went over his head to his boss, not receptive. Other team members did the same, nothing. Ok fine, I left! I told him I was going to leave bc he ruined the department and that others were hot on my tail. I found a completely different…

I work at a dental office as a support staff. When I interviewed & got hired, it was clearly stated to me from my then manager, that after 6 months I get free basic dental care Well, It's been 6 months, made a hygiene appointment and got it done. Come payment time ($320) I tell reception it should all be covered under our basic benefit plan, they pass it off to one our higher ups (but not manager)who I'll call S. Next day I ask S if she can look into my file as it still says I owe money in my PT ledger. She says her & the dentists will have to talk about it, which confused me cause what is there to talk about? Come in today & she pulls me into the office & says “So after 6 months, we cover 50% & you pay the rest.…
