Antiwork

I haven’t heard anything about a pay change and so far it seems I will be taking on more responsibilities in order to be considered for a manager position. Is this common? Seemingly, on the job training with an interim rate makes more sense to me.

Hi everyone, I'm writing an idea for a project in my class and I chose the Antiwork Movement and the Great Resignation. The project is to create some kind of campaign or idea regarding a social issue so I wanted to help educate my class about poor working conditions, bad benefits, toxic work environments, low wages, and what is happening with the Great Resignation. Our hope is that this would be a little 'unbiased' but I really think it would be hard to make it truly unbiased. We do hope it would provide resources for employees and also employers who want to do better for their employees. I understand that Antiwork is mainly about ending work. Although there are a lot of economic issues, my group wants to focus on the social issues in the workplace that Antiwork has been great at highlighting. This is a very new topic for…

Looking for advice for balance in work/home (aren't we all?) My partner (35m) is a salaried Controls Engineer. He has only gotten one raise in 3 years (“blame Covid”) and is extremely unhappy with his workload. Definitely doing the job of 2+ people, while having the experience of a Senior Engineer and no matching title/pay. Now, he's expected to work 16+ hrs one weekend a month. With commute, his hours are 7a-6p. I am a baker (31f), working with commute 4:30a-1:30p with hardly a break if at all. Because of my hours, I typically do all the cleaning, meal planning, cooking, and shopping throughout the week. My question is: does anyone have any advice on how to relieve some stress within the household? I am resentful that all the chores fall on me while still working 40 hr/wk but with his hours, its too late or too much for him,…

I had an interest for computer programming in high school, and thought that it'd be nice and convenient to pursue a software engineering career since it pays well and I thought coding and problem solving was fun. I'm halfway though a CS degree now and my courses and last internship have killed a lot of interest I've had in this field so far, but I plan to continue and at least get a CS job for a couple of years to get stable financially and not let my efforts and money spent so far go to waste. I have a lot of other interests as well, and so many things I want to try out even if they tend to have lower wages, many things from working in a bakery to becoming a park ranger. I want to explore and have fun, and not have to worry about where the…

So this is a long post and a bit venty but thought this would be an appropriate place for this. TLDR: In new job for 2 months and have a mental health breakdown personally due to some family issues. Works paid for therapist suggested asking for support in my work as to help me with my mental health issues from resultant family issues. Rang me next day after me asking for support saying they can't support me and fired me instead. But then rescinded the firing to ask me to quit or take a 12k pay cut. I took a job at a new company a senior role in my field. Similar role to one I had just left and in an area I was extremely experienced with over my last 3 roles, 12 years. Took a pay cut for a period of 3 months which would bump up to…

Hello all. I started a new job in January and the staff have constantly belittled me and made me feel really small – with some putting down my achievements and saying I shouldn't bother applying for other jobs. The communication between me and my manager has been awful (I've had to hunt her down in the office just to get a reply to an email) with none of my access to IT stuff being sorted until the 3rd week. I cracked about a week ago and my mental health shattered and now I'm in such a severe depression I'm so desperate. The doctor upped my meds and has written me a fit note. I told my manager I'd be in next week but I'm honestly still bed ridden with anxiety and thoughts of self-harm/suicide and self-neglect. Should I just put in fit notes until they fire me? I have no…
