Antiwork

Long post here. I'm turning in a two week notice tomorrow. Backstory, I work in the embroidery department of a design company. My department manager quit at the end of January. I was promoted to her position, with a miniscule pay bump. mid-February, my company's co-owners brought in a “long-time friend” to work in our department. Buuut they told everyone but our department, thanks workplace gossip, that they brought her in to take over my old manager's position… This is a completely different field, very hands on, of which she has absolutely zero experience (she's coming from a national chain deli to an embroidery department). From the ground up, as I used to train new employees, it takes about two weeks just to be able to work independently, let alone understand the details, and none of the computer work, production scheduling, artwork, what is and isn't possible, digitizing, etc. She's…

Any ideas?

Pretext: Working at Walmart and just want to get some school work done and have some time off for a couple weeks. Working 4 days a week with school is just tiring and needing am needing a break. Already have the money saved up for any bills so don’t need the extra cash. Ps: didn’t know where to post this because I posted something in the Walmart subreddit about trying to get paid off days and everyone was shitting on me saying I was a horrible person

POV: you’re poor. You live in a dark bedroom surrounded by roommates you hate. You have no significant other and are lonely. You spend your life going to a job you hate. You have a few hours to yourself at the end of the day that you use to try and distract yourself from how miserable you. Rinse and repeat. It’s been like this for years. Things won’t be getting better, at least not in the next decade.

Inflation is a fucking myth perpetuated by the rich to ciphon the poor for all they got. Gas prices are always the first to skyrocket in times of war, and then the food prices follow. Then the rest. But our jobs? Still minimum fucking wage. If there's war in the world, I say it threatens the safety of all, and therefore, we should demand hazard pay. ESPECIALLY WITH NUCLEAR WAR AROUND THE CORNER. Fuck Putin, and Fuck the 1%. 🇺🇸🇺🇦

The title says it all folks!! How many people here will be joining the strike? Please consider joining r/maydaystrike

I can’t think of a better source of guidance on how to treat employees. Every day is a wealth of case studies on what not to do. But if the constant stream of stories about wage theft, harassment, abuse, disrespect and exploitation don’t make your skin crawl, you shouldn’t be a people manager.
