Antiwork

Working in this fruitless position makes me cry. The thought of doing this kind of meaningless work for the rest of my life makes me want to die. I don't know how I'll make enough money to support myself by doing anything that pays less than this. Why does this feel so hopeless.

Background information : I (24 F) work in a preschool. It’s a small company. The owner is an older lady in her 70’s, and the office is run by two women who happen to be BFF’s. I was originally an aide, but the lead teacher quit in November and they asked me to take over. When I was the aide, I was making $10/hr. Now, I make $12.50. No benefits whatsoever. We don’t even have direct deposit which is super annoying. I got an aid shortly after I moved up. Things were great for the most part. She was absolutely amazing and helped me a ton. Couple months later, a lead teacher was let go. So, now they needed someone to cover that room and they offered it to my aide, and she took it. I don’t blame her as it is more money and a better position. Now here’s…

They love to mention that corporations will just go to automated and therefore cut them out, why can’t we as a people get together and just refuse to go to places that do this to prevent having to pay us a reasonable amount.

We were pretty pissed when we learned one of our clients was Fox News.

Is there anything worse than a clockwatcher boss? Last week I stepped into work right at 8:00 am. Her computer said 8:01. She freaked out about me needing to text her if I'm going to be late. This is a woman that makes us take 30 minutes out of our day to do a “listening activity” “game” each week. But I can't be 2 seconds past 8 in the door? I just transitioned into this job and I already hate it.

I work for a security company in mandan bismarck now and I'll get paid the 15th of april as they hold two weeks like usual. But I am paid $17/hr for 30 hrs. 10 hr workdays in 3 days. And I can get more work through them when available () Anyway I can work at pizzahut tonight but as its still 7.25/hr for delivery, I'd only make 100 to 200 depending on tips, probably under that as I am using the tips I earned during winter as reference. Problem is with the increased gas prices, it'd be using 80 to 120 for filling up afterwards. () Also worried as more people are doing tip baiting. I;e tip $10 to to $15, deliver food, the take tip away. So really I'd only be making $7.25/hr. () Also, kinda was getting tired of pizzahut. Was hurting my back a lot, and waiting…
