Antiwork

Higher gas prices = less I make an hour I normally love this job but with these prices I’m probably quitting soon I’m 18 in college and I doordash every second I’m not in class if anyone has any job suggestions for an 18 year old willing to work all night that’d be awesome 🙂 I live in an apartment near my campus in okc Oklahoma

There's something I've noticed. Every workplace likes to say they are friendly to people with disabilities,but that isn't true. I am on the spectrum and worked at a pizza place. I answered phones and the bosses daughter was on my constantly for tone, which I as either too low or too high. Voice tone is hard for me. I went back and forth about disclosing my diagnosis, but I went for it because I thought it would get me more understanding. Nope. Doubled down on the bullying, even included my hairstyle and my face turning red randomly because of rosacea, which I can't help. It got to the point where I dreaded going to work. They'd take me to task for going to doctors appointments I needed to manage my chronic conditions, and they used my plantar fasciitis in my foot as an excuse to bump me down to one…

I have to spend two hours from home to work in the morning and with the same amount of time travel from work back to home in the evening.

Not sure if this is appropriate for this sub, but thought I’d share anyway. I’m a teacher, and Tuesday, students are taking the ACT’s. This means there are no classes taking place. Each teacher was assigned to a one hour shift to help out. Mine is from 11-12. I am all for all of us helping out, but I assumed that all of us teachers would only need to be there for our assigned hour shift. But administration just sent out an email saying “All teachers are required to be present at school for your contracted hours of 7:45am to 3:45pm while testing is taking place.” So….basically all of us poor teachers will have to sit around in our classrooms waiting for our shift, or go back to our classrooms after our shift is over to do nothing when they could have easily let us go home or come in…

Posting here to rant about a previous job I left about 2 years ago. Looking back, I’m flabbergasted by my old supervisor’s behavior and the complete lack of organization on the team I was on. I was on the team for 6 months before quitting. I worked for a small finance company and accepted the position because I was told work/life balance was big for them and everything else checked out. Unfortunately at the time I didn’t know this meant the exact opposite, because they lied about almost everything. I was “trained” for about a day before my supervisor left for work travel and I was left to fend for myself and was only person on my team in the office, only a day into the job. I was messaging everyone on my team who were located in other states for work to do over the course of the next…

I feel like too often I’m seeing people muse about quitting a job and getting a new work from home position that pays 150k a year and has full unlimited sick time. Like, not to belittle other peoples problems but it’s worth saying that actual working class people are trying to organize so we don’t have to grind our joints into dust to subsist off of poverty wages. I spent Christmas with my lights off. I spent my last two dollars on a candle. You know how badly I wanna kick my feet up and tell you all from my laptop that my new job pays me enough to buy a house? I wanted to pretty badly. At a certain point, some of these posts are just bragging about a new job and cluttering actual discussion about organizing. Does anybody else feel the same way? It’s so hard to sympathize…
