Antiwork

Quit my job at the beginning of the month due to it incredibly toxic and stressful work environment (I was having panic attacks almost daily). But, I say to all the businesses and employers complaining about not being able to find workers, I've dropped 50+ applications, and gotten exactly 1 call and interview. hoping it works out, because I've no idea how I'm paying bills next month. Don't complain about being understaffed if you don't bother calling the people who apply for work.

IG Post So basically Girl Scouts IG posted this cute little picture calling for fair pay for women. Which….goes with the brand and okay cool. They do fight for fair pay in other ways, etc. BUT. They pay their seasonal employees less than minimum wage. Especially their camp employees-glorified volunteers. It is the most toxic dehumanizing place I have EVER worked-I may edit with some highlights of that shithole later. As far as the shit that applies to the post-they would require overtime but not paid….when you said there was no way you could complete your assignments in 40 hours They said that nobody could and quit complaining. They have horrendous turnover. They would give goals that were literally impossible to meet-and your yearly raise was determined by your percentage in reaching goals. By impossible I mean…they increased the goal in my district by 300% from one season to the…

I was working at this new popular place in my city’s downtown area. For my interview I was told I was only in charge of taking orders and making sure food was coming out correctly rarely having to make food. The hourly pay was great plus tips so I thought I had finally found my break. Of course I was dead wrong. Something that started off great just went downhill from the day I started. They sat us all down introducing themselves as a “fun and positive workplace” that “many in our industry are working in toxic work environments” then slapped us with all these rules charging us $100 a month for parking for full time employees and so much other bs. One Saturday we were super understaffed. They had me working in multiple places at once prepping food, calling out orders, making sure they’re correct. Stuff I’ve never done…

I know this sounds completely out of touch with reality but I can’t fucking stand working 5 days a week, it makes me so fucking depressed and I feel like I’m in this trap of an ongoing repetitive cycle where I’m just miserable, I’m a young intern so I don’t even get paid too so people take advantage of me. I’m young yet I cry almost every night I hate being surrounded by people who don’t even care about me when all I want to do is be at home with the people I love. The last place I worked at my employer was so cruel to me (name calling, gaslighting, belittling) and it really hurt me. I don’t share this rise and grind workset that most people have because I feel like it’s such a trap. I do understand that working is essential to some degree to be able…

My husband worked for a cable company in south Texas for over a year. The entire time they would work them for 12-16 hours a day and since it was piece work only, that means he might only make 40 bucks that day. During winter things slow to the point we barely made it last year, he was working 50 hrs a week and net pay was 400 for two weeks. They threatened workers not to log drive time, which could be up to an hour and half each trip. Many of these guys are working dangerous amount of hours and then getting under 4 hours asleep before driving again early morning. His pto came in and my husband wanted to take a week off. He had been looking for a new job and had some interviews but nothing set in stone. His boss approved the pto and my husband…
