Antiwork

I'll try to make this long story short. I left a job of 6 years, that i absolutely loved, in 2021. The company has been great and I worked hard for them. Out of respect, i have a 1 month notice because I was leaving them in a lurch. I had rolled over some vacation and went on a vacation in january for 5 days. My last day of work was Jan 29th. Because I was ONE DAY short of a month, i didnt earn 3 vacations days that i used earlier in the month, so i had to pay that back. They would take it off my last check. I also needed to redo my yearly vacation form and turn it in (screw them, i didnt do that). I found this out 4 days before my last day. They alao decided to wait until this time do to ANY…

Shocking, right? A company that doesn't treat all their employees equally… The company I'm leaving, over half the people in my role are permanent work from home employees. I started as an in office employee before the pandemic, and have worked from home since the pandemic began. Now they want everyone who normally works in the office to come back in, but I'd started making plans to move out of state. Before firming up the plans, I approached them to request letting me continue working from home so I could move. They said no. Coincidentally a recruiter contacted me from a competitor. This competitor is out of state, so the offer was for a permanent work from home position. I accepted. Now, not only do I work from home (and anywhere I want to live), but I also get paid $15k more per year, and more than I've ever made.…

To start off, I’ve been with this company two and a half years. Warehouse job, small company. At the start of the year, I accepted a new position within the same company that ended up being twice the work I was doing before. They gave me no extra pay for this, and when I asked for more money as well as my yearly review that was long overdue, they gave me a whopping $0.50 an hour for the review while ignoring the position pay bump that should have been included. My bad there, shouldn’t have accepted the position without the pay being negotiated beforehand. Part of the new position’s responsibilities were helping the delivery drivers unload their trucks after their route. All but one fell in line, and after months of trying to get this one driver to help like he was supposed to, my manager tells me that he’s…

I’m a bread baker for a restaurant that’s mmm all about bread. Today the other day baker was let go, and the overnight bakers won’t be coming in until further notice as their car broke down so I’m expected to take on the work load of these people while keeping up on my own work load, just to find out that I’m being paid $2.40 less than one of my coworkers that doesn’t have to work nearly as hard as I do. Where do these managers get off? I’m so tired of this.

So, basically my boss Steve called me one day and asked me why it took two guys to replace a broken part that only took one guy to install. I work on fridges and freezers and this was a freezer in a fast food joint. Here's the thing, I did the original install, and the part was faulty, it had failed within 1 week of install. What had happened was Frank, another tech who went back after the part failed, had called the office to get someone else there. It was lunch rush and they were in and out of the freezer, so he wanted to finish up asap. Since I had just finished clearing up a call, they figured since that I know the site I could go back and help this guy out. So I head back there after my coworker called for backup. We fixed it. I…

My wife’s boss just texted that she has not yet completed the anonymous survey about management. “How do you know I didn’t answer?” “Each survey has a time stamp and each submitted name has a time stamp. Yours is the only name without a survey and time stamp” “So these aren’t really anonymous then eh?”

About 25 years ago, I applied for a job with “Dr Disk” on the Gold Coast, Australia. I already had 4 years of IT Service Desk/Tech room experience as well as honors in one of the few computing colleges that existed at that time. The job was mobile computer service to both companies and home users. The job was offered at $40k/year and included a car, with the only requirement being having the experience needed but Microsoft Certification Preferred. I was only 21 at the time, and arrived at the interview with the owner. The office was nice and the tech area was a bit cramped, but we sat down to talk about the job and it all seemed pretty positive. He then asked if I was ok with going to a few sites with him to see if I would fit in. During the day, we went to 3…
