Antiwork

I’m a funeral director working in Ontario and this has started coming up more and more and it’s pissing me off. After meeting with a family to arrange a funeral, the family asks me if they can have an extra death certificate for their son/daughter/grandchild, because their boss is asking for one to give them time off to attend the funeral. A death certificate is a piece of legal paperwork designed to close bank accounts, apply for pensions, etc. it contains private information about the deceased like their SIN, date and place of birth, and place of death.

I've had no training in person or remotely, excuses abound, today was my first training and my trainer almost burnt himself to injury with one of the fryer pots. No safety training and I'm in this environment? Imagine how I feel about working for pittance. My trainer is a High School dropout, sure I only finished last year but c'mon, what is this? I'm a trained Tennis Coach I've made money from Cryptocurrency fucksake what am I doing? I'm really thinking of going to apply for University, job hunting…
