Antiwork

Here is a long one and am posting as I believe in the energy here. I have been in marketing at my company for 4 years (not in the US) and have stayed while the entire team has changed several times, above and below. My reporting bosses have changed 6x in this period, including upper management, with each completely changing the work procedures. I’ve stayed holding it down through all of this, including 1 year of intense political situations and 2 years of COVID. Not once have I been given a raise or promotion even when I’ve asked for them. I have never received a bonus as they are discretionary in my industry and dutifully accepted pay cuts during the worst of COVID. I pride myself on my work ethic and ability to achieve successes – having consistently hit or exceeded all my targets / KPIs for my role and…

I work part time while being a full time college student. Basically I tutor high school students on high level math as well as physics, since the subjects are related to my college major. The job doesn’t have a direct deposit set up (red flag?) and basically my boss sends me the money via Zelle every two weeks when I get paid. The problem is it has been basically every time that I’m supposed to get paid and he takes days, and I mean DAYS to send me my pay for the hours I worked for the previous 2 weeks. For example, it is currently march 3rd and I still haven’t gotten paid. The exact pay date every month is supposed to be on the 1st and 16th. On February I didn’t get paid until the 19th. It always takes 2-3 days after the actual set pay date for me…

My understanding is y'all just lost a mod who turned out to be credibly alleged to be another federal snitch and accused of being a serial rapist, I heard it's p easy to apply so here I am: Pros- I am actually an Anarchist; I'm actually Anti-Work; I'm not a Federal Snitch Cons- I'm always right

So I currently live in Cornwall (southern tip of the UK) but began looking at scotland due to having friends there and the housing market being less f*cked. I'm a Production Engineer and applied for jobs that my skillset could be applied to but oh boy was I not prepared for the application questions from some huge companies. What level of education do your parents have? Are/were your parents ever divorced? Have you or any close family members been homeless? Are you planning to start a family within the next 2 years? Did you attend private or community educations? There were several others that focused essentially on if you have the right “Nobby Background”. It has no relevancy as to how I'd operate in the workplace. The final kicker was instead of being the normal assh*les and asking how much I'm currently payed, they requested 3 photos of my last…

Culinary degree, 10 years experience. Got my rejection letter today on Indeed. Guess they're not short staffed any more. But the ad is still up asking for resumes.

TLDR below 🙂 So this just happened about 45 mins ago as im typin, i finally calmed down after talking with my SO and thought id type what i remember about the whole ordeal. For a baseline ill outright say i work at Subway and i dont care if i get fired. So the other day i had a shift from 6am to 2 pm, having a “opening” shift im responsible to prepare all the food and bread a lot of stuff that takes my entire shift while still servicing customers. a few days ago i stayed till around 2:30 or :40 because i was a little behind and when i was finaly going to leave we had about 6 customers inside and got an online order (uber or doordash) that was 8 sandwiches so oviously i was going to help. my manager texted me 5 times telling me to…

My daughter asked me what people do when they get old and retire and I was relaying the conversation to my mom, who is retired. She told me you get to enjoy life and do all the things you couldn’t do while you were working. I am preparing to quit my job this month so I can enjoy life now. Fuck this system of working until you’re too old to do the things you want to do.
