Antiwork

***resume I’m over it. I’m absolutely over it. I’m almost out of savings, my car insurance is about to go up, and I’m about to drop off my parents insurance. so I’m just going to fluff things up on my resume. or, as some folk would say, I’m going to lie. I’m looking for something in clerical work. Receptionist maybe? Data entry. Something of the like. I’m in school so right now I have no experience outside of customer service. And I am not going back to customer service. I will blow my brains out. Cool if you can do it! I can’t. And I don’t have to explain why. Need companies that don’t exist anymore that I can lie about working for. Need tips on how to fluff things up. I do NOT need a lecture about why it’s bad to lie on my resume. I need something so…

I work for a CA startup and earn about $300k/yr. A significant portion is RSUs and the company works me to the bone. Long hours and the occasional Saturday feature deploy is needed. But I am learning a lot. I am single and looking for a change of scenery. I applied to a UK company in my field in London. They will pay for my flight and offer 7 weeks paid vacation. It’s a code maintenance role, so much more laid back. Problem is that it is a quarter the salary. It’s been a dream to live in London, but I am concerned of the low salary and that I won’t be able to live comfortably. Thoughts?

Hello everyone! I've been lurking on this sub for a while and thought that this community would be perfect to help me with my research. I'm currently a student at Northeastern Illinois University and for one of my classes I'm conducting a research project which is meant to survey minimum wage workers' attitudes about their work during the covid-19 pandemic. The survey itself is really short (only 5 questions) and should only take about 5-10mins to fill out. All responses are anonymous and no personally identifying information will be recorded. For the purpose of this study I am asking that no one under the age of 18 participate, and unfortunately this project is only for Minimum Wage Workers within the United States. BUT if you do not live & work within the U.S. I'd still love to hear about your experiences in the comments. At the end of the survey…

Hello! I have 2 weeks of unemployment left in Ohio. I am in a loophole where I do not have to do work search activities because I was enrolled in school prior to termination. I'm taking very hard classes this semester and will struggle to work part time while attended. (Yes I know many do it. I'm barely getting by without work commitments) Is there any loopholes for an extension to get me through the rest of this semester?

I need help. I'm stuck and agitated and unsure of what to do. I am currently unemployed after a hiatus of travel. I put my resume out there and a recruiting agency from India named IDC technologies picked it up and found me what looked like a good paying job. I signed paperwork with them as early as Feb 8 and got a job offer the 16th. So far I have not started. Over the past three weeks they have claimed there is “an ID issue” as well as “the bg and sn are not going cohesively together” and have been dismissed daily as I call asking after the job. I went to visit the company I was going to be working for and they told me they have not received any information about me to bring me on board, despite being told that they were the ones having the…

Ok, so here’s the deal, my current job is complete shit, I have a stupid schedule, I’m underpaid and I’m under constant pressure to do shoddy work faster. Meanwhile, the managers are constantly making rule changes and inventing new ways to get us in trouble. Anyway I digress, I just got hired for a new and much better job so my last day here is tomorrow. For the life of me, I can’t think of a good reason to show up tomorrow, except for my pay. So how would you go about leaving a garbage job?
