Antiwork

Today, I got an email from who is essentially my HR supervisor/job title supervisor. It was an appointment for a half hour in the morning a week from today that said “Performance Check In” with no other information. This immediately put me on edge. I work in a major teaching hospital in an at-will state. I emailed back asking if it was a meeting about performance goals and concerns, or of another nature so I can be prepared with questions and concerns to ensure a productive meeting since I was pretty sure I had never had a performance check in before. He emailed back fairly quickly, but literally all it said was “it's about program goals and challenges”. Which, to me, translates to “our program goals are ones you are not living up to and it's causing a challenge so we're firing you”. Am I right to think I'm going…

I've come to notice the only way a lot of idiot groups have power in society is they go out and make a ton of noise. When is it our turn? It's getting harder and harder to just wait and try to bring up a topic of unions or how mistreated we are as workers with people. From months now I've had the want that this movement get together in an earth trembling boom. Unignorable. If we want to be heard then we need to be physically together to be heard. We all want the same things here. We want to be paid what we're due for the work that we do. We don't want to shy away from treatments or help because it will break us financially. We don't want to be abused or put in danger for someone else's profit. I'll be the first to admit that I…

So a few months ago I had some health problems and had to use vacation time because I didn't have enough sick time. Well last month I went on vacation, and before I requested it I spoke with HR about using some sick time and some vacation since I had used vacation for when I was out sick. She said it was fine, I reminded her before I left when the pay period opened, and again when I got back, before the pay period ended. Well I got my check, and they didn't put any sick time on it at all, check was short a few hundred $$. I could probably get them to cut me a check to make it right, but I don't need the money like that, so I'm calling in tomorrow, since I've got some extra sick time now.

I have a friend who caught Covid (from coworkers) while on a business trip. Now the company is making them drive back ~10 hours since they can't fly with Covid. I think it's ridiculous and negligent on the side of the company, but apparently the company is pressuring them to drive back and making it hard to get reimbursed for any expenses. Is there any thing my friend can do (assuming they don't want to get fired) or are they just going to have to drive back with Covid?

I’m looking for some insight. I work from home in higher-education doing credential evaluations for international students (I evaluate their equivalency to US degrees). Yesterday, my computer completely broke after working with IT for nearly two hours. They told me I’d receive a new computer in two days (Friday). This morning I e-mailed my boss to ask what I should do since I have a random day off, not knowing if I should take PTO or what. She e-mails me back and says I can do other people’s work who are behind on my personal computer. I refused. AITA?

About a year ago I left my job at a company that was very toxic, as I know many of you have experience with. Since then it's been my first time in a VERY long time actually living life. I've had the opportunity to let myself get drawn into and invest my time in things that genuinely give me fulfillment which was nearly impossible working at my last job. I'm terrified now because I feel it all has to end. In this time I've found my “calling” as some would say and I'm in the process of trying to create this into something I can also make my living from. It hasn't been unsuccessful as I've made some from it and opened a small website offering service, but it just hasn't been enough yet. I'm grateful for still having a roof over my head and my utilities on but I'm…

I graduated college with a networking degree and am back for a coding degree but I want to get a job in IT. So my question is if you have a full time position open would you be open to hiring a part time person due to school. (Schedule will change as classes go on)

Hi fellow workers of the world. I need help and advice on how to deal with an employer. Any help identifying leverage and how to use it would be amazing. It will be hard gathering all of my thoughts so I apologize for sections that may ramble. Background: I work for a “startup” company that is an offshoot of Deloitte. The CEO’s name rhymes with… Gosh Dersin… This company has poised themselves as the one and only HR consultants to use to create an “irresistible” work experience for potential employees. Their reports preach giving your employees the best benefits and listening to their needs. After having been with the company for a while now I realize that they don’t practice what they preach whatsoever. The CEO often talks about the multi-million deals they just landed, even today said that we are a “very successful and profitable” company. However on the…

I suggested we call someone and he told me the other guy probably doesn’t know what he’s talking about and something is supposed be coming out of that pipe. I don’t really believe him and I’m kinda scared. Just want to put this somewhere I guess. Idk if there’s anything I can really do without him taking it out on me.

I work for one of the gigantic US based company, I reported discrimination and xenophobia to the higher management on personal email, which was shared to all managers and was threatened for no further help and growth in the company(on one on one zoom call). I tried to reach to labor court which went in vain as there is minimal support and labor laws are only on books in my country(India). Is there a different approach I can take(either in my country or the US), or try to report directly in the US against same? ​ Edit: Higher Management and Managers all are Indians and not Americans, I have not dealt with anyone outside India and Indian for the issue. Issues faced are also from Indians and there is nothing to do with Americans, only the company is the US based company.
