Antiwork

So right after grad school I got a corporate internship at a nice company but quickly realized it wasn’t for me even thought the people were nice and I could do the job well enough. During this period I got really bad depression and have been pretty heavily medicated since. Fast forward one miserable year later, my bosses asked me to stay full time and sign a contract – my immediate thoughts were no but then I really researched the job market and realized that my one good chance was to stay at this company. I have started the position full time and I am not doing well at all. My doctors increased my meds but the depression and anxiety is sometimes unbearable. I catch myself lying all the time to my boss and just overall don’t like myself or who I have become because of this corporate lifestyle. I…

I have worked a total of 16-18 different jobs since 2010. I've worked management, restaurants, janitorial, semiconductor, translator, and maintenance. I have a college degree but it's not my passion. I'm curious how many jobs people here have had.

The company I was hired for used another employee as the excuse for why I couldnt have sundays off for church. In July 2021 that employee quit and I requested Sundays off, my request was ignored or told no in July, August, and November. In February I got covid bad and was home 2 weeks, in that time i talked to dept of labor and a few other business owners all saying that the company has no reason to deny my reasonable request and I am protected by EEOC and civil rights act. I thus told the company I was done doing Sundays, and made it clear to hr these various protections. I come back from covid and my first week I notice I'm scheduled for Sunday. I inform my boss multiple times I won't be in and schedule needs to be changed, he flat out refuses and has the…

Lately, many offices in India have again started working 6 days a week. While other countries are trying 4 days a week formula, it is really sad that my country is not encouraging this. Employees are left with little to no time off for themselves. What are your thoughts on this?

So I work at a made to order burrito place. My first day another coworker told me that one of the managers says antisemitic shit all the time. I have literally heard the D Jew insult more times in the last week than I have the entire rest of my life combined. After the first day I filed an anonymous report with corporate office then I gave it a week to be resolved. He’s still there and still saying it yesterday. So on my way out I told him to have a good night nazi boy and walked out before he could respond. I work with him and the gm in an hour. I plan on continuing to call him nazi boy until he quits or until they try to reprimand me. Beside the obvious recording any office visits and conversations with management any advice before I wade into this…

I don’t know if I should feel guilty about calling out after a two week vacation. I’m slightly jaded by my work, I was hired to be on 4 days a week as a controls project engineer and took a 16k pay cut for the schedule I desired- puts me 19k below my states average salary rate for a controls project engineer. after training for 6 months my boss tells me he has no recollection of my 4 day scheduling agreement, and because I’m salary it didn’t specify scheduling in my offer letter. This is partially my mistake by signing that but I was being young and naive to believe they’d stick to their word. My reason for calling out today is because it snowed last night and snowboarding is my favorite activity.
