Antiwork

I recently quit my job on Sunday. I work in a restaurant with high turnover and at will employment. I was entitled to my final check by Wednesday by 3:30pm but when I texted my manager about it he tried to tell me they ‘couldn’t write individual checks anymore so I would have to wait for payroll on Monday’. I informed him that that would incur a daily waiting period fee of one days wages (~$188 a day) and he instantly texted and said I could pick it up between 10am and 12 pm today. I let him know that I work mornings and would not be able to meet at that time. I received no response. Today I tried to get the check when I left my new job and the manager said that the check could only be given to me by my chef (the owner) and that…

I'm quitting my job next week and have an offer lined up with another company; better pay, a million times better benefits, working conditions. I need to make maximum use of my Healthcare benefits in the next two weeks. So far I have a boot slip for new safety boots (they'll never even be used lol), a dentist visit, massage, and physiotherapy planned. Hmu reddit, how do you recommend I make my benefits plan feel like a shell of its former self, or just general tips to take advantage of in the last two weeks of work?

So, 4 days before my landlord starts eviction proceedings, I got approved for an apartment. I will be moving out of Utah. I work remotely for a hospital chain in CA. I had to fill out paperwork to be approved to work in another state, but I needed an address. Didn't know what that was going to be until today. My work has put a freeze on working in other states. They won't open up accepting forms until Fall 2022. I can either work in Utah or resign. I'm not going to be doing either of those things. I pretty much can work my weekend shift this coming weekend. I need to get fired in order to get UE. Any advice? I'm worried the company will Cover Their Ass me out of getting UE.

So I got a call from my best friend today that he got fired. He's always been a responsible and dedicated employee. For reference he's a captain on a tow boat in the proximity of the Mississippi River. He's been at this company for 10 years. 6 of those years was a Deckhand, then he went and got certs to be a Captain, which is what he's been doing for the past 4 years. So apparently either he posted a status correlating to or something that had a thread where he voiced his unfair treatment surrounding his company. Word got out, and the owners of the company today decided to part ways. He was making 475 a day, and new captains were getting started out at 535. He said that he'd been trying to set up a meeting to discuss his pay, and that there was supposed to be a…

Yeah, the company I work for pays pretty shit. But a whopping 5 months later they finally mention a raise to me. Because I don't stand around. I look for ways to help out other coworkers with anything they're working on as much as I can. If there's nothing I can contribute, I look for small stuff to do like cleaning up oil stains on the ground, emptying out the containers we catch oil in, etc. Meanwhile I listen to these other guys mope around about their shitty pay. But they wear their attitude on their sleeve. They expect better pay but don't want to do shit to earn it. Meanwhile on the flip side I'm really annoyed by the stupidity of being frustrated you keep getting employees who don't care about their business while starting people off at the same pay as a fast food worker for a fairly…

I know that many Russians are against war, probably most Russians. But there are probably many people who see all of this as an opportunity for profit, just like the US military industrial complex. Don't get your hopes up that Russian workers will bring about a halt to Putin's actions through a general strike. Never say never, but keep your expectations in check.
