Antiwork

I requested to work from home in March of 2020 because of my husband’s history of lung issues. This was about a week or two before a lot of my other co-workers were instructed to start working from home. The first time restrictions were lifted in my area, I was concerned about having to be asked to return to the building. Fortunately, I wasn’t. Since then, I developed a chronic illness unrelated to COVID-19 and am now considered immunocompromised, giving me an even better reason to not be in a building of at least 100 people — a lot of which have caught the virus. Although restrictions won’t officially be loosened in my state until the beginning of March, masks are already starting to become a rarity. For example, when my husband went out in public for a brief moment recently, he was the only one wearing a mask. With…

I’ve been reading anti work for a while and feel I want to add my 2 cents (probably what my opinion is worth!!) The issues being brought up seem to be the following; I got a degree in; political science, English, history etc. my degree only gets me entry level positions. No shit, your degree was for a passion, not a profession, nothing wrong with that but understand that’s what it is. The career I trained for dosnt pay well; example teaching. FYI teaching has never paid well, when my mom was a teacher 40 years ago the pay sucked, it sucks now, you knew what the pay was prior to becoming a teacher, so if that’s an issue why did you choose that profession?? Current world is much worse than previous generations, housing costs, lack of pay, tuition costs, no pensions. This one sucks, it really does. Try and…

First of all, sorry for any typos or formatting; I'm on mobile. Also, it's kinda long so there is a TLDR at the end. So there's a lot of things I currently hate about my job (My boss not knowing what I am supposed to even be doing, micromanaging, being pulled different directions by different managers, having to train new people when I am fairly new myself, being told to “make” coworkers work when they won't even listen to me, the list goes on far too long to write it all here right now). I was already thinking of quitting, but I think this was the straw that broke the camels back. We are supposed to be getting a bonus within the beginning of March, and then one of my coworkers (the only other one in my department that actually knows and does the job) put in her two weeks…

What do you all think would be a good premise for an animated anti work TV show? Obviously commentary about poor work conditions and shitty managers but what are some other themes and things you’d like to see in a tv show with this subject matter in mind?

What the title says. My annual review is coming up. I wrote an email to HR asking about my options for advancement (certification, education, etc). I have asked them to keep it between me and them & not tell my boss as I am only looking at my options before I consider any plan change. They replied asking for a chat over the phone. Should I be concerned they don’t want this in writing? Edit: I’m in a state where recording others without their knowledge is illegal.

i had recently quit my job, my boss has not submited any ROE to the gov, they held back my check and my separation slips for seems what no reason whatsoever, and had the audacity to be mad and have an attitude with me when i requested my papers for me to pick up. I have been waiting a couple months for them to do so, as it says he is required to do so after 5 callender days, says right on the gov site. Im am unsure what to do because i dont like burning bridges or calling people out, i am not receiving EI while i hunt for jobs so its very difficult to do so with no means of getting gas. any advice on what to do as i am currently lost. (in Canada btw)

I'm privileged to say that I love my job, and I'm so grateful for that. But a recruiter reached out to me for an opportunity and when she told me the range started at what would be a 50% increase for me, I had to learn more, even though part of me knew I'd miss where I am now. I went through the whole portfolio review and the guy is a little intense, and he's critiquing my portfolio, telling me things that “even basic designers should know” and I'm thinking, didn't you reach out to me? Why are you even interviewing me? I'll take feedback where I can get it, but I've been in this industry for 5 years and gotten plenty of jobs, its definitely not perfect but why are you even talking to me? This was impromptu, I had 2 days between the recruiter interview and this, and…

I work at an authorized retailer for AT&T called prime communications, and the store I worked at shut down. I walked to the store every day, and once it closed I figured I'd get fired and get unemployment, but instead my DM moved me to another store I have no way of getting to. He said I can either send a resignation email, or they can file job abandonment. What should I do in this scenario?

So I have a bipolar and take meds so i can work and she made the comment that I’m sometimes delayed greeting customers and I was oh yeah it’s my medication it messes with vocab and proccessing time. She was like we need to find a solution to work on it. I legit looked at her and said what get put on different medicine and she legit said well it’s effecting customers. Oh also my phone is the issue and she’s going to have to start having me put it up. She thinks that causing the problem. I legit just filed an Ada compliment because hr does nothing
