Antiwork

I just need to get it off my chest. I was very excited to start my job after graduating. I worked hard for my degree and was hopeful that I was on the right path. Turns out, I wasn’t. The company had so many red flags and now I’m just realizing them. First, the president of the company was very, very abrasive. He tries so hard to be this “cool and relaxed” type of guy but he’s such a hard ass. I confided to him about a health issues that has been going on and subsequently, made me miss a week of work (I was puking every day multiple times) and he told me, “Have you tried going vegan?” Second, they call themselves a “family”. That’s just a huge red flag in of itself. The work environment was awful and toxic. As a women, my field is very men dominated.…

Growing up, I was taught to expect 35+ hours/week, and anything less was considered Part-Time. At my current job, 30 hours is considered full-time, and I am employed as such. However, I barely get over 15 hours per week now, and this has been going on for months. Meanwhile a co-worker with the same job title has been scheduled for over 50 hours per week for the last two months, and a newer person has been getting more hours than me. I'm already in the process of looking for a new job, and educating myself so as to get on a different career path, but I was wondering if anyone else has been getting shafted like this.

So I’m fairly new at my job compared to other workers. It’s a non profit. Started the end of 2020, with proper Covid restrictions and procedures. For the most my job is good. Decent pay and benefits. Chance at promotion. Weeks of paid time off. And they try to be friendly environment. Don’t fuck around and you should be fine. So before Covid the job would follow the school schedule from September to June. Meaning if the schools were off for a snow day or holiday so were we (and paid). So we a fair amount of holidays off. 2021 was a bit crazy with all the school lockdowns but still followed the schedule as they could I.e. got the Friday after thanksgiving off. But for 2022 the higher ups posted our yearly schedule. Long story short we only get the 5 big holidays off this year (Christmas, Memorial Day…

A few weeks ago I got a new job for a family owned company in my town. They have a bit a reputation for high turnover but they were also the only place offering a livable wage and schedule flexibility for doctors appointments etc. I accepted and seemed to click right away with my micromanaging boss (which is good because otherwise I’d have been fired) she also has a TBI which makes communication challenging. It’s stressful because it’s a somewhat complex job and the environment is chaotic but I thought if I had some cool coworkers I’d be ok. Well. Everyone quit and by next week I’ll have be the employee whose been there the longest. They even tried to hire replacements and one stopped coming the other is upset about her role and I don’t blame her. Apparently they wildly mistreat production staff, paying them $12 an hour with…

Been with the company no raises and almost 3 years and they blew off all the employees due to covid and I don't know how to feel I'm just confused with mixed emotions swirling from anger to resentment to rage and then being grateful again. Maybe it's the pressure of Life, of cost of living increasing food prices increasing gas increasing that made me how that I hope that they would somehow say hey I know it's hard out there it's been rough here's a little extra. I feel like the beginning scene of scary movie 1 when she handed the homeless man the sandwich, and I'm that Homeless man

I need advice, so I will try to keep this short. I stock grocery stores with cookies and crackers from “N company.” I am the best worker on my route, and several managers and employees with N have said so. The praise is not lost on my DM. I live with my parents and would like to move out to another town, but still work for N. So I asked my DM for a tranfer to the route operating in this town. He said that he could reach out to the DM for this specific town, (which is outside of his own territory) but he will not because, and I quote, “I am a selfish DM,” and since I work so hard and his sales look so good now that I'm working under him, he doesn't want to let me go. You know, like he owns me. So he is…

After spending so much time in this sub, it's hilarious how management and business owners just seem to not get it. At all. Its astonishing how ill-capable and out of touch these people are. They shouldn't be running businesses at all. Makes me consider how if I were to run a business, I wouldn't have the problems they're having.

I have posted on here once before, and I have made it clear I am a capitalist. I don’t wait to debate that. One thing I never understand is why are managers, especially in the service industry, so terrible? I have seen countless examples of firing people for the smallest things, not letting them prioritizing their families, etc. It seems like so many of these things A) don’t genuinely affect them and B) don’t hurt their relationship with upper management. So why do they do it? For power? I mean there are so many managers out there making less than $20/hour and bossing around somebody making $10/hour like DUDE YOU ARE IN THE SAME TAX BRACKET. Serious answers only. Thanks!

The pay I can assume is good, at schools are not owned by privity company's that are for profit, schools do make profit the primary aim of a school is to not make profit.
