Antiwork

Since I was at school (diligent top student all that), I knew I would dislike working one day. I would see people in a mall at 11-00 in the morning and thought it seemed like winning the lottery. My job is part-time and freelance and I have a much better balance now. I am now a day mall person, and love being one! what do others think of being in a setting like a mall during the day? I love it.

I work in healthcare, and I actually used to like my job. About a year ago I had to change shifts and now I get to deal with 1 misogynistic, sexist asshole and 1 control freak who thinks she's the boss and has only been there 2 months. Bosses who rug sweep and make empty promises. Btw, I am the Supervisor on our shift, but I cannot fire them. After multiple arguments with these 2 individuals and management not doing a damn thing about them, I started looking for another job. As a single Mom I can't just quit, although I'd love to, I just can't afford to. They don't pay me enough as is. My mental health has taken a nose dive. Everyone dislikes these 2 people and I only get 1 night free from both of them. The stress is taking a toll, I go into work prepared…

I see it a lot here in various comments, people speculating that certain things could be illegal or questionable. But at this point in our society, is there actually any legitimate entities that will go to bat for people who are lower/middle class? Lawyers are insanely expensive and I don't know who to actually turn to for the heavy hitting questions who doesn't charge $500/hr…money which I don't have.

A bit of my background. I work as a cram school teacher in the countryside in Taiwan. It's only been 6 months since I started the job, but I realized early on that this job doesn't suit me, plus my co-worker literally gives me a lot of anxiety every single day. So I put up my 8-week notice, which I thought was ample. Yesterday we had a meeting, me, my co-worker, the receptionist and my boss (we only have 4 people here). And my boss said to everyone during the meeting that my departure was unexpected, he had considered the possibility that students would drop out, leading to the lack of funding to support other co-workers. He is considering firing the receptionist. His wording made the whole thing sound like my fault. I'm not sure if I should feel guilty about it, but that co-worker of mine was seen crying…

Hi all. I (23F) recently had to apply for jobs in a frenzy due to my car being stolen. I was lucky to get a couple of opportunities, one of which I have bow worked at now for two weeks. Maybe it’s because the company is an Asian-run business, but I have been verbally harassed beyond what I ever, EVER thought was acceptable. Of course there’s absolutely no training that’s happening to guide me for the job, yet I’m being called on my personal cell phone, day or night, to be berated for tiny and understandable mistakes. It doesn’t even matter if I’m off work too. The job is on a contract basis at minimum wage. To be honest, I’m not one to complain much about pay because I am truly willing to bust my ass despite how unfair wages are right now. But the fact that management thinks that…

So I told my supervisor I am taking a vacation day Friday. I have 70 hours of vacation time. When I told him I was calling out Friday, he told me I better be “ready to accept the consequences”, so basically a threat and told me i have to gamble my vacation time, so if anyone in my building of 200+ people call out then I can't use my time off at all. I'm filing a grievance with our union after work today but I genuinely want to see these people get fired.

At the place I work there is someone in another department who is going to be fired. She is being kept on while she trains in her replacement. I'm not supposed to know this. I don't know how to warn her and don't trust her enough not to tell. We are in a right to work state so she will have absolutely no recourse. She isn't the greatest employee but it's still a shady thing.
