Antiwork

I applied for a job with my current company a few weeks ago. I concede that it was a reach for me, but they needed staff desperately so I thought I’d try. Well, as stated, I didn’t even get an interview. Okay, cool. Next time. Don’t know if you don’t try. Yet the management that wouldn’t give me an interview pulled me from my supervisor and told me to do the job I applied for the next sixty days while they hire someone else to do the job. I hate everyone right now.

i’m sure someone has asked this question here before, maybe not. but what do you do when you have no idea what your passions are and you physically cannot tolerate any job you’ve ever had? jobs always start off fine and then slowly but surely get worse and worse…. then i hit a point where my body just starts physically rejecting going to work- not being able to wake up on time, anxiety pulling into work every morning, dragging throughout the day to the point where it’s obvious but i can’t help it. my body knows it’s not supposed to be living this mundane working life. i know lot of people who complain about tolerating shitty jobs because they have to, but what do you do when you cannot even tolerate it? i’m not depressed, i’m not lazy, i’m creative, spiritual, and happy for the most part… not that i…

I am wondering if this is legal? I tested positive for covid earlier this month. I didn’t have symptoms but my gf was positive so I got tested and found out I was as well. I told my boss the situation and volunteered to WFH so I don’t fall behind and so I don’t need to take sick time when I feel totally fine. He agreed this made sense and so I worked at home for 4 days. I went on my employee portal today and saw that I only have 1 sick day left for the year (we get 5 to start). When I confronted my boss he said “you didn’t come in to the office so I had to use sick days to pay you”. I used all of my sick days even though u worked 8 hours a day from home the whole time I was “sick”.…

I work at a store and recently got promoted from cashier to manager. Cashiers usually get between 5-12 hours a week while managers get around 20 hours. Obviously we’ve all asked “why are we not getting any hours” and my store managers response is always “corporate.” Well, now that I’m a manager, I have access to store emails. It seems like I’m the only one that looks at them, because the first email I opened revealed my store manager is only scheduling us 40% of the hours available to us. I’m assuming she gets some type of bonus for cutting our hours, but all she does is complain about “not having enough time in the day” and “nothing ever getting done.” She only schedules two people a shift (6 people a day) to unload and stock thousands of boxes a week, clean, cashier, mark downs, go back, etc. I don’t…

Why I believe I was let go: I was a graphic web designer/office administrator. Went to school for graphic design, however I struggled with the reception part of the office administration. (Supervisor saw me making spark notes on my on volition on how to improve though) Absences. I unfortunately got covid and had to miss a week and a half because even after I was negative, I still had symptoms, and this place is super strict about not showing up if you even have a slight covid symptom. Was explicitely told not to come to work. Why I'm pissed: No warning or anything. However when I did something wrong they let me know right then and there, the only thing though, is not once did they bring me in to say “hey we are noticing you are struggling with this, here is how we'd like you to improve” or “hey…

I was excited to be given a job interview the other day for a certain unnamed insurance company, and I was lead to believe the entire way that it was definitely not a sales job. I’d be reviewing benefits with corporate clients and addressing employee benefit concerns. Half hour before the interview, I get a text from the recruiter asking me to review the “join the team” recruitment video and sure enough… it’s a sales job. It says nowhere in the job title or description but upon seeing the word “commission” I knew. I put time out of my day and rescheduled a doctors appointment for this interview. It was by video chat, but still. I decided to attend. I’ve applied for sales job that actually pay their employees a salary and benefits, so maybe I should give it a try. I was open minded and gave the company a…
