Antiwork

I got a voicemail Sunday at 5pm offering to set up an interview for a minimum wage customer service job. I am a recent college graduate so I am looking both in my field and for something to make money until I do find a job in my field. For this particular business I have decades of experience with their products. I called the store back at the opening of the business on Monday. I was told all positions had already been filled, but if I'm still looking in May they'll give me a call. I told them to lose my resume.

title says it all after some bad turn of events in my life i have been basically going on auto pilot and just going through the motions. i feel that i need some time just to my self turn off the phone and just do something for myself. before all of this i havent used any sick days before and have really only missed 2 days in the last few months. even my psychiatrist is suggesting me taking at least a week off and my boss literally just laughed in my face and told me that he cant give me any more time off even though i had previously had a supposed guaranteed 2 weeks off before but since then had to cancel.

If you've ever worked in enterprise sales, it's not uncommon to not know your commission structure on the first day of the fiscal year. Yet, here I am about to start Month 3 without knowing my payment structure.

Recruiters who cold-call/email you about job openings but act as it's a privilege they contacted you in the first place are so scummy. “What we expect to be considered…” ermmm…you're the one who contacted me. It's weird.

I just finished working a fast food job for over a year for 7.50 only (minimum wage is 7.25 here) & it was very messy place that messed with my mental health so I left and stopped working for some months and just started working for $10 an hour at McDonald’s, my first week I worked 8 days in a row and he gave me my schedule and basically said I get Monday and Tuesday off every week and that’s it, but im a senior who wants to enjoy weekends sometimes with my friends for my last year but I don’t want to quit because I’m trying to save up money to start boxing this summer what should I do?

I’ve been seeing a therapist for 6 months who had told me since January I need time off work. She’s encouraged me to look into my short term disability benefit at work. I can take it however I’m extremely paranoid that my employer will Hold it against me. Has anyone ever done this? How long were you out and what was it like when you returned?

Hey y'all, i floated this idea a while back and people seem to have taken a liking to it. I've done some legwork since then but i want to get some more opinions before i finalize stuff. The Holiday is called discuss your pay day, the idea is you can either have an open conversation with your colleagues, pin your hourly to your nametag or in a placard on your desk. Now the day i'm wondering about. some have said May 1st since its national workers rights day(labor day) but i'm not too sure about that, since i know a good number of people have that as a day off and wouldn't be able to participate(Excluding service industries which are the bulk of our community). How are we feeling about may 2nd? Does your job personally take off for labor day? Open to input from all sides
