Antiwork

I work at an EXTREMELY busy clinic. We take minimum 600 calls a day and upwards of 1500. Right now; There is only three of us. We presented a case last month to our CEO that it’s getting harder to commute and patients are more volatile then ever. Our boss agreed with us and helped us along. The CEO said that since the board makes those decisions she would bring it up at the next meeting. Come to the day of the meeting; It’s bike week in Florida and fuck, we were DYING!! So, bosses changed the week before bike week. Our new boss took it upon herself to go to the CEO and ask for an executive decision to raise pay. So… WE GOT A 1.75 RAISE AND BONUS UNTIL MAY!! We are technically making 21.75 per hour til May and once the bonus ends, we should be making…

I’m seriously considering putting my notice at the end of this month. Not only am I extremely undervalued, but they also don’t let me make any decision whatsoever. Now it’s important to say that I’m not the type of employee that fucks up frequently, if I were they wouldn’t have “promoted” me. And I say “promoted” because they formally offered me a key account management position, however I just heard yesterday that I might not get the promotion, as in my title won’t change, but my activities will. They said they’re negotiating with HR a raise, but that it might not be what I expect. This is ridiculous, my $$ is already way below market, and now they won’t even pay me properly for a KAM position?! Now the catch: I recently purchased a house, I’m paying for it, but if I quit there are no guarantees I’ll find another…

I’m autistic and truth be told, being in social environments stressed me out ever since I was in high school. I struggled with socializing and had panic attacks through college and when I went into the work office. My previous two jobs I was constantly harassed and treated like an idiot by my superiors. Being in an environment with constant exposure to noises made me go to the bathroom and cry cause it was to much for my brain. I’m sorry for sounding like a baby and I can understand that not everyone can deal with autistic people. I had to learn how to mask in public to not worry people about my behavior. Working from home full time and my manager telling me I’m doing an fantastic job made me realize how much stress I put on my brain to fit in. I don’t enjoy the company of people…

Interviewer basically checked all the red flags, asked me if I had kids, specifically to see if I'd be available on a whim…on the best part was being required to tattle on other co-workers, who mind you they have alot of who don't work because if the job doesn't get done…we both get blamed. Cool, supervise your own employees.

Something that never fails to wear me down the second I put too much thought into it is how ridiculous corporate America is. Almost every single job I’ve worked has the same structure I’m surprised I haven’t been driven insane for how repetitive it is. The bottom tier workers, who shoehorn the labor, who generate the revenue, are at the mercy of the higher ups, Who sit in offices all day looking at sheets of paper with numbers on it. Then they, who make well over 100k a year, get to debate and bicker on if we should be paid enough to afford basic living necessities. The cost of living has vastly outpaced the wages yet still, we wait. We wait for months and months for corporate to decide. While our bills pile up, our workload increases, and the value of our wage continues to shrink as the cost of…

Is it just me, or do these kinds of pushy recruiting emails rub other people the wrong way too? The very sales-y phrasing of “you will do blah blah” just comes off as so creepy and overlord-y. Sorry buddy, I'll do whatever the fuck I want – and that includes not working for people who try to manipulate me with directives and boss me around before we even meet. https://preview.redd.it/c4846leww5o81.jpg?width=1692&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d0c1724dcbee0f5bd915144e76160f61f4840d71
