My boss took it for granted that I should work extra time without any pay!

The thing is that we are a company that sells some products. And every time when they are made, we need to check them. But there are two product kinds of products, I in charge of one. So the product manager (not my direct boss)told my colleague and me that we have to test all of it. I thought it was the product that I am in charge of, so I agreed. And earlier yesterday, he told me that we should leave at about 4 PM and I have to work extra time. I thought 8 pm is the latest(7 pm off work), so I thought that's all right, after all it's my job. So I left at 4 pm. When I arrived at the factory, I am so shocked since this is not our product, and it shouldn't be my job. But the product manager told us clearly that…

Why are workplaces/colleagues/managers in the hospitality industry so consistently toxic?

Bit of a rant and I have my own theories…but yeah. I swore off ever working in hospitality again years ago, only to try and dip my toes in again and discover it was exactly as shitty as I remember. Just too many coworkers and managers with these weird gross egos who want to make other people feel small so that they can feel big about themselves…I think to combat some weird internalized capitalist shame they have about not having what society thinks is a “real job”…so they try and cut others down in their workplace to try and compensate and experience some kind of contextual power and status that they feel they lack in wider society. It's notoriously bad among chefs where bullying is basically the entirety of kitchen culture, but I also find it particularly awful among waiters and bartenders, career cocktail bartenders especially. In a lot of…

I keep getting harassed by this labor hire company about a reference days after I’ve been hired and I’ve already started working.

It's kind of a long story, but I was looking to get a new job because my old work kept cancelling shifts and didn't want to give me more work. So I applied for a new job and I didn't read enough into the advertisement or they lied/hid the fact that they were a labor hire company and they were going to shoe horn themselves into my life and make things as difficult as possible and they said in an online meeting that we have to treat them like they're a “real employer” even though they don't do anything and they basically try to ham string me every single step of the way and harass me and send me emails, texts phone calls at random making thinly veiled threats/vague accusations for no reason. They never reach out to my real bosses who I actually see in person at the office…

Do companies actually verify employment dates? I’m in the restaurant management industry.

Father Is Trying To See Things From An Antiwork Perspective But Is Very Logical. I’d Like To Help Him, Does Anybody Have The Numbers For How Much You Need To Make Full Time To Retire By 60 Or 50 Right Now?

What the title says. Father M(56) used to have a lot of capitalist perspectives, but retired from 6 figure job to become a teacher. Since then he's beginning to understand the world children face a little bit more clearly. I would really like to share my Antiwork views with him, and I think that discussing the current future possibility of retirement from the point of view of any fresh high school graduate would be a good place to start. Unfortunately, monkey ADHD brain has kept me from doing the math myself, can I get a little help? (My dad loves statistics so any others are welcome too, sources are also nice)

Need opinions on how to handle a “undermining” supervisor.

Really need peoples opinions on how to deal/hanlse this one. I work in a warehouse, and ive been working incredibly hard lately. I use heavy machinery,HiLO, sideloader fork lift, over head crane ETC. Ive been at the company for about a year, I like to take my work seriously, and work hard at it. Since coming to the job Ive learned how to handle all material with he above mentioned machinery, and i Also do a damn good job at it. What im feeling from my supervisor is a little unprofessional/passive aggressive behavior. When i accomplish something that is “hard”/difficult to do, something dumb is said to me. Never a compliment, EVER. When i am 100 percent serious about the days work, like i was today, I get shit for it. The guy trys to make me feel dumb for knowing how to do my job. The “extra” things that…

How do you guys generate your passive income to secure income after quitting the job? My passive income a month is only 300$/month which isn’t enough for wife, children and a dog.
