Antiwork

The sign said $20 an hr so I called and got to figuring out it’s a tipped salary with a base of $8 an hour. I just never realized that, I mean how many people have tipped at sonic ? Why is it so American to have to pay for the employees salary in addition to the price of meal?? GREED. shits outrageous.

Background. I’ve worked (Canada) for this manufacturing plant for almost 10years. Started from the bottom and worked my way to the top as supervisor. I hold the permanent posting. Two years ago they hired a man from outside the plant to fill in the role of shift supervisor on the other shift (we have two shifts AM/PM) which I trained until qualified. Later I found out that he was salary but I’m hourly and he won’t tell me how much he’s paid (which is fine, he’s not comfortable sharing), so I don’t know if we are paid the same? Now, I (28f) went on maternity leave last year and I’m about to return to work next week, BUT they announce that they are shutting down the PM shift and will lay off some of the personel. This means that only one spot for the shift supervisor is available and I…

Volunteetered for 3-4 hours on my day off and got screamed at all day by the manager, in front of customers, for trying to help stock (what I was originally asked to do) and cashier (they sent the cashier home for no reason). Then after all that, 2/3rds of the store just leaves and so I just left. You wanted shit stocked, that's done. See you on my next scheduled shift lmao

Hi all My situation is better than most here. I'm decently paid and a union member, and I vote for a party that supports unions. This morning, my GM said all managers (including would be required to have their phones on on weekends – if they didn't pick up immediately, they should at least be answering text messages reasonably promptly. Now… I've worked here for nearly four years and never been called on the weekend. My GM has maybe called me twice or three times after 5pm,and apologised whenever it's happened. So I don't expect we would get called very often at all. But still. To be on call every weekend – that's actually a big change. And, of course, no change in pay/allowances was discussed. Any thoughts?

So far today, I’ve received 7 text messages and 3 emails from boss about open shifts. This is a daily occurrence. It’s extremely annoying. If I wanted to pick up a shift, I would look at the schedule and then contact. It’s honestly anger inducing how many texts and emails I get daily

First day Back in the office 3 days a week after working from home for 2 years. Been dreading this and even more now that gas prices are going up. This is so stupid!

As much as I do hold values like how work shouldn't be the most important thing, how the workweek is too long to really let people work in healthy ways and research continuously supports that, I obviously can't always put that into practice. After spending years trying to get into an “alternative” industry (which I've learned basically means “you're trading in a 9-5 for a 24/7”), I've learned that going into it would basically ruin my mental health. It's the kind of thing where people say it takes them anywhere between 5-10 years just to get in, only to be majorly overworked. I remember I was told by a major industry leader in a talk from school that “most people leave the industry by the time they're 30 due to burnout”. I'm now watching my friends who I study with get jobs, and hate every second of it. None of…
