Antiwork

I [32m] am a CNC machinist for a government contractor. 15 months ago I moved 1700 miles with the idea of “IM GETTING INTO THE MAJOR LEAGUES OF MACHINING”, and instead was welcomed with the most toxic work environment I’ve come across since being a teenager working at a fucking grocery store. While the actually work has been the only reason I’ve stayed (work that gets done with the bare minimum of technology, machining tools, and measurement tools), the past few months I’ve been on such a steady steady decline in mental health. I need out, badly, but in this area there isn’t much game in town and most options are worse in every single way. While my raise was 3.5%, I’m lucky I can actually live on that, while I cling to absolutely loving what I do. But seriously, for someone who was JUST able to become independent and…

My work instated a 3 an hour bonus last November that ended today. We had this because so many people called off because our base pay is 13.50 an hour. OUR WAREHOUSE SUPERVIOSOR TALKED ABOUT MAKING SHAREHOLDERS HAPPY. AND THAT THIS WAS THE ONLY WAY FORWARD. BEFORE DOCKING OUR BONUS FROM 3 AN HOUR TO 1.50 AN HOUR.

I'm in school full time, so I really just want work that's extremely flexible with scheduling. Some weeks I get all my school work done quickly, other weeks I'm swamped and work just gets in the way of that. Can anyone point me in the right direction to look for remote work?

How do I know if my prospective employer will call my “former employer” to confirm dates of employment and job title? I never get any calls with my actual resume (and I'm way qualified for everything I apply for) but I was sick of the waiting around and never hearing even a 'fuck you' we hired someone else…. just crickets… for months I added ONE entry level role (that i never had) but got a call immediately from an application, haven't heard from them since maybe 2 weeks ago. I'm guessing they called to verify. HOW DO WE BEAT THIS SHIT?

I can't do this anymore, working for someone else. I went for a few interviews to change my jobs. I even have a straight-up offer. But I know for sure it will be bad situations again in a few months. So I have decided to quit and do part-time deliveries to support myself and work on my projects for the whole day.

I work as customer support for a company that operates in more then 22 countries. In 2021 they made 160.000.000 USD in revenue. Do you know how much I get paid for working full time? 500 USD for an entire month. How I am supposed to be happy and motivated for my job?

I'm 20 years old, barely enjoying my life that is along the poverty line, with an overprotective mom. I fortunately have state endorsement for my college because I don't make $100K+/year in my state. I graduate this spring with my Associate's Degree. I should be happy, but I'm not. I'm not even continuing college because I want to, but because mom wants me to and she means well by it. “Means well,” at this point she's blinded by how she means well that at this point she doesn't know how this affects me. It's also hard to change her mind. How bad is this? Well… put yourself in my shoes. You have an overprotective mom basically making every life choice for you because she means well to a MAJOR fault, tells you all the time that you don't like this, think of creative ways to make money, yet at the…
