Antiwork

Guys what do you think is the reason that WFH is being discouraged by firms and the govt. Doesn't WFH decrease their running costs (variable costs)? Your opinions.

I worked for one week for a shady company and quit. They didn’t send me a pay stub or a w-2. They just sent a check for 390 dollars after working 39 hours at 15 dollars an hour. During tax season many months later, I asked for a w-2 and they said they didn’t put me on payroll because it would cost them 200 dollars and I was new. My accountant said they took out too much taxes. 390 dollars is too little for 15 an hour in PA. So they were paying me under the table, letting me think they were taking out taxes but really just keeping that money for themselves. I did sign some papers while working there but didn’t read anything. I have to see if I can find them but I don’t know if I still have them. All I have is an email saying…

Hi everyone. I work in kitchens and ive been doing this for 10+ years. My job is hard but wage is alright and timetables fit around my family which is my priority.

Working for the government (in the US) you know you’re likely to go under paid and over worked, but when there’s a difference of $10 between what I’m making for full time work and what the liveable wage is in my state and you’re making me do 2 peoples jobs- I’m done. Shout out to my partner who saw me come home crying one to many times and said “That’s it- you’re done.” They a real one.
