Antiwork

I've been wanting to vent about my one and only job in private high finance. Was tempted to put this on Glassdoor but at this point I'd be surprised if the boss is still alive.  The company provided private equity loans to people climbing the property ladder. High interest rates, fast approvals (but only 10% of applicants were approved).  Four people in a tiny office with no view in an expensive skyscraper. After a successful interview, I was given a one week trial. They were so impressed on my first day they gave me the job immediately. I do have some beginners luck in general, but also I'd been studying their website all weekend.  I was so excited because it was in a fancy part of town, in an impressive skyscraper with a luxurious interior. I felt so out of place in my cheap office clothes. I would walk to…

our usual weekend meeting started off with the numbers we arent at, and apparently we're taking a field trip to find items we can quickly sell. preformance reviews have been happening all day and im so tired. yesterday i was yelled at and as the youngest sales member im slightly terrified of talking to my bosses i hate the need for numbers. its a pandemic, nobody wants an expensive warranty when they need to afford food and gas and such. we dont care.

I live in Canada, Ontario if you could help I called in on our busy days and that's a big no-no because my boss threatened me again yesterday for the third time in my less than a year being there so I'm certain I'm getting fired. I know that I can get unemployment for harassment but as I have no proof I'm screwed over there

If you're able to be a reference for a job interview hit my line, kinda struggling with this part LMAO

I worked at a restaurant for six years, not a chain, locally owned— the type of place that would insist that the staff was family. However, every time someone put in their two weeks notice, they would get written out of the schedule within one week. Every time. Didn’t matter how long you had worked there. I was young, it was my first job, I started working there when I was 17, so out of loyalty when I decided to go back to school in a different state I gave a month’s notice and was written out of the schedule within a week after six years. I hadn’t recognized the pattern before it happened to me, or I did t think it would happen to me too. I tried to talk to the boss about it and she just deflected and made excuses, burned the bridge. I realized much later…

I have a virtual interview with a tech company next week that recruited me to start a new department for them. However, I got an email from them asking for my permission to record the interview to using a 3rd party software to “streamline the note taking process.” I looked the third party up, and it apparently records the video and audio, allows the interviewers to click options of “action item, bookmark, pain points, insight, positive, situation, etc” during the interview, and send the recorded video and text to whomever they wanted via email, slack, Asana, CRMs or whatever they want. Is this normal? Do most people give consent to this? I don’t feel comfortable having my face and voice recorded and stored anywhere, whether it’s at the company recruiting me or the software used to do it. I feel like it’s an invasion of privacy, and don’t like the…

So I was wondering what everyone’s favorite antiwork song is? Mine is Allentown by Billy Joel.

I work as a dogwalker. We are considered “independent contractors”, there is no actual office and all our correspondence is handled through email. We don't have direct deposit and we get checks in the mail as payment. I don't really a whole lot about the company or my coworkers, since I don't meet them often. I have met one of my coworkers and we decided to keep in touch. Today I reached out to her and she told me she was sexually harassed by a client during one of her shifts on Wednesday. She immediately emailed the office and informed what happened, and requested that no other sitters be given that shifts since majority of petsitters are female. The company reassured her and took her off the shift. However, the next day, I went to the shift since it was on my schedule and had no idea that I was…

I had an interview yesterday for a job that had the salary listed in the job posting. It did seem higher than market rate, but I knew that I brought a lot to the table for this role. When the recruiter asked me what my salary expectations were, I regurgitated the range listed on the job posting and she was taken aback. She brought up my lack of experience numerous times and gave me a number that was 20k-30k lower than what was in the job description. I’m a bit confounded by this and am thinking that this may have been a way to draw applicants in and then pitch much lower wages. Has this happened to anyone? How do you typically avoid this? What do you say in these instances?
