Antiwork

They never treated me badly per se but there were some things going on that I just didn’t want to deal with and I needed better pay and benefits and they weren’t willing to give it to me, even though they sought me for a promotion only six months after I started there. But I just wrote up a letter and sent it as an email to my bosses at the end of the workday and then just left, I know I can get an a better job so I’m not really worried about that but I have been there since June of last year and I did like the work but my depression and stuff just wouldn’t allow me to work well anymore. I couldn’t even use their health insurance because I declined it when I first started thinking that I would get a different type of insurance but…

I am leaving my job for another company this made me think how awful it's been for me, I have been working at different places since I was sixteen years old due to my birthgivers wanting me to earn my own money and use it on things I need I first earned my money at a fast food place, it sucked!! It was dumb minor things that some people would not see as a big deal, but as a teenager it was. I could not paint my nails despite being only a cashier, my shoes had to be this anti slip shoes that cost a lot (i never bought them), I had to wear a hat, and miss out on events with my friends or come to things smelling like gross ass pasta. Also the cops have been called on the place, it was mainly due to a drug dealer…

‘Morning’ sickness has completely knocked me on my arse. I’ve been off work for about a week and as far as I was aware, you could only self cert for 7 days. I called my GP to see if I could get a sick note, they wouldn’t do it and told me to just self cert for up to 28 days if needed. I know this was a thing from December to the end of January, but I thought this had now ended? Gov website says it’s back to 7 days.

be gentle my fellow redditors. I have the sad.   Heavy is the head that wears the crown Deep in sorrows will he drown Weighed deeply up’n by serfdom and worries With none to lift him in his ghastly flurries Weighed by debt, and bills and life Just one beside him he calls wife But working her own job and handling kids The job he has is to provide the bids Pay the mortgage and phone and card Keeping with the Jones’s Avant-Garde   A man’s duty is to provide While the dream inside does not abide It dies within him slow then fast His dreams at this rate will not last Some of grandeur, and others modest His abilities and skills the absolute broadest But what you dream and what you do Are twain all the way through and through The two won’t meet no matter how you try…

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

So if it weren't for my medical issues, my job would be a dream. Decent pay, great benefits, good coworkers/supervisors, and I love what I do (I work with animals). The issue is, the pace and workload numbers are such that my body literally can't handle it. I'm epileptic and my seizures are related to stress/exhaustion. Before I got the job (started a few months ago) I averaged one minor seizure every couple months. Since starting the job that average is now up to once a week, with severe seizures happening more often as well. Last week I got ADA accommodation paperwork processed. My requests were mostly related to my hours/schedule. It all got approved within a couple days. My supervisor has seen me have seizures multiple times at work, and I've told her it's directly related to exhaustion from work… Today, after all the ADA stuff, she randomly decided…

I saw a clip on Instagram the other day and think it would bring light to why corporate jobs are awful, if we could stock pile videos of employers denying their hard workers. Also, they're entertaining.

I began working today at a new job, during my shift the manager continuously bitched about how “nobody wants to work”. I was let go after my shift. I don't get it? If you want someone to work for you, why not actually train them?

I'm so fucking pissed, I don't even know where to begin. I guess I'll start with how I got the job: good ol' nepotism. I have an idiot family member who volunteered me for a job vacancy at the same stupid place he works without my permission. He told my parents, and they bullied me into sending my résumé and contact information. I repeatedly said I had no interest in working there, but I was pestered until I gave in. Immediately after sending the email with my information, I was told to meet some guy for an interview. That surprised me because I've been applying for jobs, and NONE of those companies contacted me within literal minutes after applying. This struck me as a potential red flag. I go in for the interview, not even knowing what the fuck the job is, thinking I probably won't get hired because my…
