Antiwork

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?

I’m from Norway, and I’ve been following this sub for a few months. I really like reading your stories, and witnessing the change that is happening to some of your workplaces. I’m a student, and I deliver pizza every other weekend. I make about $19 an hour. If I work on the evening, $1.50 is added on top of that. $2 on the weekends. If both on the evening and on the weekend, they stack. Tipping is not really a thing in Norway, but I do actually get about $8 every shift. 10% goes to the cook, and 30% for taxes. Working for this pizza place, I’ve gained insight in what they make a day, and let me tell you, the shop makes A LOT of money. It is a very popular pizza franchise here in Norway, and I’d say it’s probably the most expensive place you can order from…

I applied at FedEx Supply chain as an Inventory Control Clerk. I got an email to schedule an interview. The email says that they are having open interviews every Wednesday. My next day off happened to be a Wed. But instead of just showing up for the open interviews I schedule one for Wed. noon. I wake up early, fix myself up, print copies of my resume and head out. Its about an hour drive with traffic. I get there and they have no idea who I am. No interviews were happening that day. You know, the day that was supposed to be open interviews and the day that I scheduled one. They take my name and number and say that someone will call me. No thanks. I'm half tempted to send them an invoice for time and gas wasted (It just went up to about $4 per gallon where…

One that I discovered recently is the old “oh my good. I get so much vacation I could never use it” that inevitably turns into neither should you. All of these companies keep talking about their benefits (if your lucky enough to get them at all) but for a lot of them getting the time off is like pulling teeth!

So long story short I just left my job for a better one. And my old boss is saying I owe him a few thousand dollars within 48 hours. Will I get sued if I don't pay him in 48 hours? Should I pay him at all? I can't really offord it and I just wish he handled it better that trying to screw me last minute. He's under that ussumption because around a half a year back or so I was having banking issues for a couple months while changing banks so he was writing me my paychecks instead of direct deposit. Now he only needed to write my check like 2 or 3 times. But the last time he hadn't given me my money in a couple days. So I assumed he was busy and tried getting in touch with him at the end of the day. I…

My friends also work here and she hates them as well (she’s trying to convince them to break up because one of them is her favorite). I make 8.50 and work 10 hours a week so I genuinely don’t know if this is worth it. I didn’t get proper training (nobody trained me) so she’s mad I’m not doing things right, the thing is I thought I did really good yesterday, I cleaned and took orders and made some orders all by myself for the most part. I work fast food and I’m in high school
