Antiwork

Obligatory not legal advice or any kind of professional advice. I came to this conclusion after having lived in apartments for the last five years, all of which were owned by corporations. (Why the fuck can corporations own homes)? They don't give a shit about your privacy Make sure that you change the locks as soon as you get in. Read up on the local laws and get educated about your rights as a tenant. You may not own the apartment but, as a tenant, you have custodianship. Document everything wrong with the apartment. They ALWAYS try to pin every little issue on the tenant. They will do everything in their power to keep your deposit. Don't let it happen. Asserting your rights means that you've gone to war with the landlord. They will absolutely fuck you over if you assert your rights as a tenant. In many areas, you…

I had off the last two weeks due to covid in my household. While it's not supposed to count against me they've already denied my covid pay request and I have a meeting with HR and my boss in a few hours regarding my “negligent” attendance. The reality is that I discussed my pay with my coworkers and found out they were making 30% more than me. During our raise period I was rated the Top employee in my department, and was given a $0.30 raise. Despite making so much less than my coworkers and doing so much more of the labor, and the best this multi-billion dollar (profit) factory could muster was $0.30. I sat down with them and pointed out market price and local jobs for similar labor, my achievements over the span I've been working there; and the pay rate they determined was acceptable for my labor…

So I’m a self employed tradesman and I have been full time contracting at a company for two years. I very rarely go to their big warehouse but today I did and I was told that the trackers and dashcams that were recently fitted to our company vans had a microphone and were recording from the inside of the van at all times. Naturally I’m mortified and feel if this is true (trying to figure out exactly how to get confirmation in writing) that it would surely be a massive breach of privacy/rights – but then again I’m not sure. I’m based in the UK – I am self employed and I never had to sign anything to have the dashcam or tracker fitted (don’t have a problem with either to be honest) – I just had to make the appointment. I’d love to know any input here whatsoever -…

For context, I am a salaried employee. I recently took a sick day due to some food poisoning. I let my manager know and they didn’t have any problem with it. Now, going through my online portal, I noticed that my manager input my absence as PTO. They didn’t ask me or tell me about this policy. I am currently saving as much PTO as possible because I have a child on the way, so I’m pretty pissed. Is this normal?

Edit. I am Australian if that makes any difference with laws etc. it’s 5am Rn so I’m going to try and get some sleep and read replies when I wake up I’m so confused and mad I don’t know where to begin Started a new job last Monday, on Friday I got my arm crushed in a machine that someone else was operating when I tried to reach for something that was stored ontop of said machine. (In reflection there’s no way it was legal/within worksafe practises to have these items in such a place) Got sent home an hour before finishing time, and got told to see a doctor if it gives me peace of mind. Due to how far away this job was from me, by the time I got home my local GPS were closed, so I decided to sleep it off and go to the hospital…

Hi! I was told I should post here! I tried a few days ago but, it kept getting automatically removed so, let’s try this again. This is a throwaway for obvious reasons. I [19f] was a server at IHOP. A few days ago, one of our newer servers accidentally rang in a kids jr cheeseburger while trying to ring in a different kids meal. As the food was coming up, she caught her mistake & told the cooks, went back to fix her ticket, etc. They pushed the kid's meal off to the side & everyone continued on about their day. About an hour later, I still see the kid's meal sitting in what we call 'the window'. I asked my fellow servers & the cooks if it was “dead” (meaning: cold, throw away, can’t serve) They told me yes, so instead of throwing it away, I put it in…
