Antiwork

I’m gonna preface this by saying I’m a 21 year old who started working when I was 17. ( So maybe I don’t have enough experience to touch on this. ) At my first job I started at 13.69. I ended the job making 13.98. They couldn’t round it up to 14? Anyway, these co workers of mine were making 14. This is after their own raises and being there for up to 5 years. Just 30 cents more then the minimum wage in my area of 13.69. Fast forward to my new job. I meet a co worker who is the most loyal and hard working person I’ve ever met and has worked there 6 years. I end up asking her how much she makes. (I always thought this was a normal thing until realizing after being on here that managers hate it). She’s making the SAME as me.…

I work for a small company that teaches English. I recently got pulled into a meeting about my ‘lack of initiative’. These are the following examples of said lacking: I use my breaks to relax, rather than complete tasks （which are achievable after said break). I fail to communicate with other workers (management regularly leaves me out of communication). I don't lead lessons enough (rather difficult when management often disrupt my activities). It went on, and I just felt tired. I often feel pressured to go above my job description just to be seen as adequate. It may sound silly, but I occasionally cry at home out of frustration. I am currently sitting on my smartphone, looking for new oppotunities. Thanks for letting me vent.

My teacher gave me so much god darn homework and it’s annoying, I refused to do it.

I think this is relevant to a lot of people on this sub. For those outside Australia, The Barefoot Investor has been called the biggest financial cult in Australia (and that is actually a good thing). I don't know if he has much presence outside Oz, but he does offer good advice in a very readable form, and also is a pretty good guy! Anyway, here's a snippet below I thought might be useful: … you do need to ask for a raise. Why? Well, if you don’t get at least a 5% pay rise this year, you’ll be going backwards. That’s because the prices of things are inflating at the fastest rate in years … and they haven’t stopped climbing. Think of inflation like being stuck on a treadmill that keeps getting faster and faster. You have no choice but to keep running, otherwise you’ll faceplant and be ricocheted…

So I recently left a job and have been sending out resumes since. One application had a pre employment screening and it required me to include the pay rate at every previous job. These were required fields, so I just wrote a one instead of my actual pay rate for every job listed. I didn’t really feel that was their business to require, so I just obviously bs it. Was that a “normal” thing to do? And how will that look to employers? Never done that before
