Antiwork

I suffer from a rather uncommon set of illnesses. It got to the point where I was/am disabled. I beat it and got back to a point where I was able to function and be apart of the workforce. The field I am currently in is very stressful and my first formal job I’ve had since 2017. The stress and overworking got so much that the very thing I have battled for years came back full force. I’ve been there for 7 months. I had a episode at work that blew out my shoulder/thigh and my body has been in pain since. I’m at the point where I want to quit with no 2 week notice. I don’t care if they dock my pay. Not only because I’m fed up of the workload, but because I am crying everyday I leave, my body is in a lot of pain, and…

I want to preface this by saying I work in North Carolina, and it's an at-will state, so all of this could be completely legal, but I just wanted some opinions. I've worked at this same restaurant as a waitress for five years. We recently started selling alcohol. We don't have a bar, and its not on tap. We're literally selling $5.99 and up cans/bottles of beer and wine. So as you can imagine, sales kinda suck. So my boss told us today that our schedules will reflect our sales. So if you dont sell a lot, you wont be scheduled a lot. Or he'll just fire you completely. We're so “short staffed” and need help, but not so short that sales on items that dont even matter will cause you to literally fire someone. Waitress get blamed for not making enough in tips if the ticket isnt considered high…

Worked at a restaurant 1 months ago, the manager was friend of my dad and ex manager of my brother who worked at his restaurant. Worked for 5 months with almost no days off more than 12 hours a day and like 80 hours a week. Worked overtime for like an apple cider? I was soo tired and frustated all the time. My salary was Nrs.8k($80) a month and the tips are collected to share among the staffs(3 staffs-dishwasher,cook and me a waiter). Nrs 8k salary and 2k was kept as security deposit so by the manager . The salary was already very less than the restaurant i worked in earlier(where it increased from Nrs 10k to 8k in a month).Recent restaurant promised to increase salary but didnt. One day the manager scold me for coming an hour late so i said i also went home late(cuz yestaerday i went…

Fight to obtain a society worth defending.

I'm part of a ton of local FB groups where chain restaurant managers are/have been posting available jobs. I've been noticing though they cut the hours and upped the pay. For example, 32 hours at $11/hour ($352/week) whereas prior the pay was more along the lines of $9/hour at 40 hours ($360/week). Does anyone else see this trend?

I got hired into a company but they want to run a background check through HireRight. I told them that I worked at a company from 2016-Feb 2022 that just went out of business. My father owned this company but they went out of business in 2016—he told me that he would lie for me and tell them that I’ve worked there from 2016-current and that they just went out of business a few weeks ago. On the form, I did put his phone number down but there’s no website or anything any were, and I don’t have paystubs, W2, or other employment related information. Will they just call him to verify or am I screwed?

When I was in my early 20s I worked at Walmart. I don’t have any issues with Walmart, but I gotta tell you that the middle-management in that company leaves much to be desired. Anyway, my direct supervisor, one of the front-end douchebag supervisors, made it glaringly obvious early on that he didn’t care for me. I had a target on my back and truthfully I don’t know why. I believe I have a strong work ethic, so idk what his deal was. Anyway, Walmart used to have a “thing” they referred to as “D-Day” or something like that (I don’t remember what it was called exactly) but basically, it was like a last chance thing before you’re terminated. This douchebag supervisor, gave me a handful of bogus write-up’s; for example: he wrote me up for “not working” because “he couldn’t find me when he was looking for me.” I…
