Antiwork

Backstory: My grandmother was diagnosed with cancer a year ago. She got therapy and maybe 3 months ago, she seemed fine again. My grandmother lives 450km away from us, so it was difficult to visit her. We were able to visit her only once in a few years, luckily we were able to visit her during christmas 2021. This was the first and last cristmas after 6 years. A month ago, her condition got worse and worse and they discovered an untreatable brain tumor. My mother ofcourse was very stressed and worried, was busy with work, worried about her mother, she had a small surgery herself and her company made a huge scene, because she had to stay home for 3 days. But now, a week ago, she got a call, that her mother was about to die and it was urgent for her to come, if she wanted to…

I'm a media 2019 graduate, who has struggled immensely in the job world. I finished uni, then shortly after did a short course, a few months later found a crappy internin marketing, now how im back at the cycle of job searching.

Had a 6 hour shift last week and was never offered either a 10 min or 30 min meal break. Well tonight I worked another 6 hour shift and decided to actually ask for them. My phone began to die (need to use phone for work purposes) so I asked if I could have a 10 min while I waited for it to charge. My shift lead was like “yeah ok”. Then less than 5 mins later she comes up and asks if my phone is charged. I said yes but I’m still on my 10 minute break, she looked puzzled and then I said I’m working a 6 hr shift. Then just walked away and muttered “ok” under her breath. It started to reach the…

I work an assembly line for a toy factory. All day I stand in the same spot making the same toy over…and over … And over for $15/hr. The company has set unrealistic quotas for all of us to reach each night and all week my supervisor has been hammering in the fact that our numbers are to low. It's gotten to the point that we get reminded every single night that we will be given write-ups if we fail to reach at least 50% of our goal each night. 3 write-ups and you're GONE. Well… Tonight, (my day off mind you) I'm working a line with two other employees. The girl at the front of the line runs out of one of the parts she needs so she tells our lift driver to go find them. He returns around 10 minutes later and say that he can't find any…
