The gift that keeps on giving
Hello antiwork friends! We present an AMA (Ask Me Anything) with Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC), who are participating with the account u/WorkplaceOrganizing. We are opening the post ahead of the scheduled AMA (Friday, 11 AM EST / UTC -5) so you can get your questions in. Please vote on questions you'd like to prioritize to be answered. Now, we'll let EWOC introduce themselves: The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee (EWOC) began as a way to connect workplace organizers with essential workers during the 2020 lockdown. Since then EWOC has continued to help hundreds of workers organize their workplaces all around the country. Last year, EWOC began to train new workplace organizers in order to help rebuild the labor movement. Our first training series of 2022 begins Wednesday, March 9. In four discussion sessions over two weeks, participants will be introduced to the fundamental principles of workplace organizing. Organizer Training Series…
I was hesitant to apply to this job within my company because this company sucks. But I wanted the pay raise.. They don’t do raises and if you try and fight them about it, it goes no where. So they created a new role. A lead position to assist with my department. I did not want to apply because I do the bare minimum as is and I’m fine with that. I’ve been wanting to switch jobs for a while but I haven’t had the opportunity. I’m just about to graduate with my BA. So it is hard for me to find a company willing to take me in with little to no experience in said places. Anyways, back on topic. My coworker’s informed me that the other leads in other departments only got a dollar raise or 1.50$ raise…. That’s so pathetic to me. Like it’s insulting. I interviewed…

Long hour exhaustion
To start I’m a corporate security officer (sergeant ,evening supervisor) and frankly my hours suck. Being second in command it falls on me to cover hours when needed. So to avoid confusion I’ll say that our site contract has us do contractual hours. So we have to hit a certain number of hours per week regardless of how many bodies we have. We are currently down two people so baseline I do 50 hours a week. This current week I’m doing 60hours (4am to 4pm) and the difference in sleep schedule is fucking me up. Last year we did 60 hour weeks for several months because a coworker was out due to injury. And I damn near quit. Now my boss is leaving and I may be asked yo take his place and I don’t think it want it. Not to mention I’ll be doing 60s till we can hire…

Over the top surveys
RESUBMITTED WITH TEXT SCREENSHOT REMOVED My little way of fighting back lately has been making sure I take every survey I get from a corporate place and writing a whole story or over the top claim about whatever employee I encountered during my visit. I never say anything that would get the employee in trouble and I make sure to rate them highly because I too have to deal with surveys in my line of work. Ive attached a few examples. Over the top surveys https://imgur.com/a/R0eXX9F I think it'd be cool if places were inundated with wild claims and bologna surveys while making sure the employees themselves aren't hurt in the process. Rather than just saying “store sucks” I'd rather claim that Greg in the paint section taught me alchemy.

Insulting raise
Took a slight paycut to go to a non customer service department in December. Just had my year review for a raise and was told I get a 25 cent raise. I was told that I was doing a great job and picking it up fast but still only 25 cents. Was also told as in the employee handbook, to not talk about my wages because the department head has fired people before about this. Like, fuck this place this is how you keep wages low. I already talked about my wage when I got over here and it was higher than most of the department who'd been in there position longer than I'd been at the bank.
