Antiwork

My old boss made easily close to or over 100k when I worked there and I remember getting into a hugr disagreement with her because she said she's struggling financially. I genuinely don't get how people make that much money and say they struggle. If I made 40-50k I could easily manage on my own but to have double that and waste it upsets me

I've seen a lot of comments revolve around the use of (or threat of) force to break up strikes by the police or whomever, and I've always wondered if there was a benefit to the workers physically gathering in protest that outweighs the threat of violence against them? I know that picketing and protesting sends a message to the employer and other companies, I'm not suggesting there aren't any benefits, but doesn't the power we hold come from stopping the means of production? In a completely hypothetical example, say we managed to secure solidarity across the working class to all strike at once… what if, instead of gathering to protest, everyone just stayed home? There wouldn't be riot police showing up to mass protests to arrest and beat the hell out of people to strongarm/scare everyone back to work, so what real consequences are there that don't already exist with…

Got a message from my boss this morning asking if I could make it to a sales meeting on Sunday morning from 8:30-11:30. Couple problems here; 1 – I already booked off the entire day and they accepted the request. 2 – This will be my first day off in over a month between my two jobs right now, I don't just want this, I need this day off for my sanity. 3 – Even without those 2 previous issues, there's no way I'm wasting 3 hours of precious weekend sleep over minimum wage and listening to people spew off to me about needing to sell more protection plans blah blah blah. Can't sell shit to non existent customers lady Being my first job, I thought this place has treated me well (which it has, compared to some of this subs other stories), but I've been with this company for…

I hate my job with a passion. I work for an outsourcing company that offers call centre services for Sky UK. I basically work as customer service and tech support agent for broadband and TV. I've worked here for about a year and it is my first office job and I cannot stand working even a second here. I want to quit so bad but I am so financially dependant on this job. I have minimal work experience and I have to give a 2-month leave notice before even being able to quit. Should I man up and keep working until I get better financially or should I bite the bullet and try something else. Honestly working in this industry is killing me and I cannot imagine that there are people doing this for years. TL DR Call centre job that sucks the joy out of me which I contemplate…

I work for my local Municipality in Ontario as a part timer. One thing that has been bothering me ever since I started is just how much the full timers are given while we get nothing. I don't blame the full timers at all, but rather the Municipality. Here are some of the things they get: Over $11 an hour more than part timers Full benefits Paid holidays off Vacation days that build up with time here Additional sick days The chance for free education Discount on services Membership to the Municipality union And that isn't even everything, while part timers get none of that. At the beginning of the year the minimum wage in Ontario went up, and the union got a pay raise for the full timers, but us part timers are still making the same. Last week we had a 3 day event that made us all…
