Antiwork

I am a pretty good employee so I usually fly under the radar at work. But I've noticed that one particular employee has been a target for both the owner/boss and manager. It's a really small company so we do not have an HR department. So whatever the manager says to the boss is “what happened”. I have worked for about a year and noticed that the manager (who is illegal) seems to pick on certain new employees and have even ran them out of the job. My boss is very biased and so is the manager. They have both admitted this out loud infront of everyone. I've even seen my boss yell at multiple employees infront of everyone. This is normal apparently. One employee always has to go to her psychiatrist and is in regular therapy sessions. But when she requests days off to see her doctors the boss…

Alright. So I joined this subreddit like 7 seconds ago. I’m pretty anti-system. Anti-work. Pretty much the definition of “we feed fat cats until we die and that’s it.” I just started for a retail-consulting firm and I’m not even gonna pretend I think it’s sunshine and daises cause that’s not how I operate. But I started at 7:30 (I’m an early riser), and was literally napping by 3. Context is everything, and I work in sales (BF works in fabrication – so to clarify, this would absolutely not be for everyone). But no questions asked. I’m already an overachiever for starting at 7? Any thoughts, opinions, or pitfalls? The work we do is for a national retailer, so let’s be serious my holidays won’t be pretty. Part of me wants people to roast this work environment, tell me to be a realist. Part of me wants someone to say,…

I am definitely in the process of wanting to change careers but don't know how to proceed because I need to continue working at this moment for money to survive. There are topics here of people that moved from shitty careers to less stressful careers but not the how they did it. What kind of career were you in and what career did you move to? How was the process? Were you questioned about having education in a different industry when moving to new industry? Should we BS somethings? What other advice can you give?

So 3 weeks ago, I left my full time job to join a company. From the get go, they wouldnt even give me more than 8 hours as the first day after 7 hours, they told everyone to go home. The next day, I was scheduled for 6. The following for 5, and so forth. It became clear that if we weren't working the entire time we were there, they wouldn't want to pay us, which is why they cut the hours and told my coworkers and I to come In at specific times that they knew would have work e.g. come in at 5 PM – 10 PM instead of 2PM – 10PM. Of course we werent going to be paid for 8 hours while only being their for five hours. Due to this, i was able to work 11 hours instead of the 40 we were promised and…

I’m a 34 year old woman and I keep getting leg go from jobs. In my life I’ve been let go from 5 of them. Each time I am left feeling like a failure and I just don’t understand what I am doing wrong. I’ve got a degree in architecture, I do project management, estimating, photography, marketing, graphic design, writing, etc. I have worked in all of these fields except photography and have only self published a children’s book. I don’t feel like I have the self control to work for myself. It typically goes that I work somewhere, it goes great for a while, then I start to resent the job in some way (sexism, discrimination, unfairness, bait and switch job role, poor treatment.) instead of leaving, I end up eventually getting let go. I’m sure my attitude is noticeable even if I think it’s not. I’ve sued 2…
