Antiwork

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.

I've been reading alot of bored panda articles featuring /antiwork stories. Figured it's time to add my own. [Background] Work in a repair industry for a multinational company for 5+ years. Pays average and every month we're micromanaged/hounded on productivity report even though management is unable to implement solutions for logistical and morale issues. Also had to beg for certificate training even though it was promised when I was hired. last year I applied for a similar position in another city. Interview/recruitment process took 6 months so I didn't think much of it. When came time for the final negotiation a substantial salary increase and immediate training was on the table. In good faith I shared it with upper management and respectfully asked if what they could do to retain me as I had (Ill placed) loyalty and most of my friends/family were in our current city. I asked for…

So I have been a strong follow of this sub for multiple years. I recently was promoted (to the enemy) as a manager of my entire store. I am in need of employees and have been accepting applications, typical new manager shit. My Job(will leave out a name for obvious reasons) requires NOTHING literally NOTHING, if you have a heartbeat you will be hired. I just reviewed 2 applications where neither of the applicants left any sort of contact information. I am in entire support of this Sub, but Jesus some of you (young people) (and I'm not even old, 27) can't even fill out a job application properly. I support you against your “evil” bosses, but at least PLEASE be smart enough to fill out a job application properly.

I'm gonna try to keep this short as this is more of a rant than anything. TL;DR : Employees working too much overtime, and it's directly causing accidents and injuries to occur. I work for a fragrance and flavor manufacturer that has been mandating overtime way too frequently like every week. I made it clear to my supervisor that I couldn't work the additional 8hrs (I work 40hrs already) which he has seemed to not have any problems with. (For now) But the problem I'm seeing is from the individuals that are actually working overtime. Accidents and injuries have been more and more frequent, last week we had two huge spills a loss of 100kilos (during an overtime shift). Two people hurt themselves today, one breaking a leg from a faulty dolly and a drum landing on it.The other slipping in a puddle of water he forgot to clean up…

As title suggests this is what happened. I am CS senior graduating in May. Went to a career fair, guy invited me to interview the next day. This is a non traditional CS job, a power plant with mostly blue collar workers and engineers in offices(applied for this). I got asked about GPA, I said 3.2, but it's 2.6. I said this as I was caught off guard and didn't think I would get the second round interview if I mentioned the low gpa. I got invited for second round, and HR asking for unofficial transcript. Honestly, I don't think I want this job, doing it to practice interviewing as this is my first “real job” interview, to practice negotiation, and to see what kind of salary they will offer – I suspect 60-70k. This way I am prepared when I interview for tech companies I want to work in.…

Posting because my boyfriend told me the way my tips are distributed is not right and my boss is stealing from me. So basically I work in a really tiny diner in a very small town. We have about 8 tables total. It is only me and four others that work here. On any given shift it is usually just me and the cook running the restaurant. At the end of the night I count the money in my tip cup. My boss has told me to split it 40/60 between the cook and I respectively. I told my boyfriend this and he was very frazzled as to why the cook would get anything over 10% as they make more $/hr than I do, and they aren’t even the ones serving the customers. This being my first serving job ever, I did not even question the way we distributed tips.…
