Antiwork

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.…

Figured I could finally share this since I’m out of my (now previous) jobs’ hell hole. Not only is this company (a “new” startup in the states but with a backbone in the EU) creating a 1980’s slog work culture, but I was ultimately placed as a lead on a Work From Home engagement. This engagement was so WFH, that I was literally denied the ability to work from the office that I originally worked out of due to a lack of space unless we rented out a conference room (and there was only 1, so one person wouldn’t have been permitted it’s use). Recently I have had news where I need to be able to assist some family members with health concerns in another state. This office is in Michigan, my family in NC, and the entire, literally entire Sales Team for the US AND the company CEO live…

I work from home for a large corporation. I’ve been there for a year, but my coworker, who is at the same level as me, has been there for around five years. Everyday his employees are coming to me, asking for help, because he is ignoring them. I always help them and I inform my boss of this. My coworker is always rude to me, rarely talks at meetings, if they even bother attending them. He always criticizes or belittles me. It’s noticed by others how they treat me, and again, I inform my boss. Now we have to have a meeting listing things we value about each other and things we do not. We also have to list things that make the workplace better and things we’d like to see them do to make it better. I’m having a really hard time of thinking of anything positive to say.…

First of all I'm a residential plumbing apprentice I've been doing this job for almost 2 years now and its been crazy hard on my body for starting 16.50 and now 21.50 CAND$ Now onto the problem, 2 weeks ago i was moving a bathtub up a flight of stairs and because of the height of this tub, to get it threw the hallway i was lifting at a very weird angle and i hurt my lower back very bad and dropped the tub, then having to crawl off the stairs and get a ride to the doctor. ​ After the check up i was prescribed some muscle relaxers and told i just needed a week and a half. My boss wanted to know when i could be back and needed me asap so i told him what i was told. “a week and a half if you can come…

Me – me Coworker – C ​ For context, I am a part-time employee and have been for two years as I'm currently in college. I still don't find this to be a valid reason, if it is the reason, for me not receiving a raise in my pay. My coworker makes a little bit more than I do, but he's full-time, and he's been there a few months longer than I have. Recently, a new employee came into our department, and he's an objectively good worker, but he's still learning. The topic of wages came up, and it turns out he makes the same as my coworker that's been there two years AND is full-time. Of course, C and I were both upset about this and went to our boss about receiving more pay, and he was also upset because he didn't even know. He went to HIS boss,…
