Antiwork

Iv hit 30 and have no ambition to continue to work for the next 30 years unless it's something I can truly be excited about

I appreciate all the posts where a person stands up for themselves against their employer and throws in the towel. If you’re looking for a sign to quit your depressing, rat-race job, this is it right here. I’m not an advocate for homelessness, and I’m not telling you to quit your job if you don’t have enough saved up for at least a couple months. The only way to take back our power is to do exactly that: LEAVE Keep fighting the good fight~|

I currently work at a small restaurant that's owned by a family who was kind enough to give me a job when I couldn't find one. I currently have an open workers comp case and lawsuit that's been going on since 2019. I was working as a home/facility health care provider when I had my work place accident. My injury prevented me from going back to work as a care provider and as COVID-19 got worse so did my case managers who were responsible for getting me the surgery I needed to fix my injured arm.

I was one of the highest performers in the office even though I was new and I was receiving a mountain of praise from the clients, the higher ups and my boss. I'd only been at this job for six months and I was already starting to see the cracks. I started on a hybrid schedule due to COVID and I was content with that. But in January, they sent their employees a poll asking how we feel about…

I've been a call center trainer for 10 years. For six of those years I had zero control of the new hire training curriculum. In those six years, clients and senior learning managers had pass/fail final written and verbal assessments. If a student fails either one of those assessments twice they are fired. Call center agents were starting at $9 or $10 and if they didn't pass I have to fire them while only making $12.50. It was so traumatic to the agents who were already strapped for cash. They can barely afford professional shoes and I had to have difficult conversations regarding their appearance or lack of reliable transportation if a senior leader noticed it and brought to my attention because I would ignore it. I've had agents cry and sob begging to keep their jobs. Four years ago I finally own all call center training and my first…
