Antiwork

He's a higher up manager than me but I don't work for him. We got on the topic of general malaise around the place and I asked him if he was going to do another pizza party? I said it's hard to pay your bills with pizza. He just looked at me. 😀

Who built Thebes of the 7 gates?  In the books you will read the names of kings.  Did the kings haul up the lumps of rock? And Babylon, many times demolished,  Who raised it up so many times?  In what houses of gold glittering Lima did its builders live?  Where, the evening that the Great Wall of China was finished, did the masons go? Great Rome is full of triumphal arches.  Who erected them?  Over whom did the Caesars triumph?  Had Byzantium, much praised in song, only palaces for its inhabitants?  Even in fabled Atlantis, the night that the ocean engulfed it,  The drowning still cried out for their slaves.  The young Alexander conquered India. Was he alone?  Caesar defeated the Gauls.  Did he not even have a cook with him?  Philip of Spain wept when his armada went down.  Was he the only one to weep?   Frederick the 2nd…

I stayed with a company for almost 2 years and gained $1 in raises. Starting at $12.50hr and raised to $13.50 after having to beg for raises and not getting my promised 90 day raise at 90 days. It was more like 110 days. Got tired of it so went somewhere else for $16.50h decided that sucked after a few weeks so found another job for $22hr. Got promised all this stuff and when the time came they said “ask in a few weeks”. So a few weeks go by and I get the same answer. Waited again and asked. They told me “stop asking it's not going to happen.” I said fuck it stopped showing up and they let me go. I had money saved so no big deal. I started looking for a job. Last week finally got one paying $26hr. I told them I made $25 and…

So again tell me if I'm wrong about this but I feel like I was not justified in my current termination. On Friday night I went into the office after I had already clocked out because I forgot my bag. My bag contained my work laptop and even though it is not expressly noted in our work agreement I am expected to be able to answer important emails during the weekend. This afternoon around 4:00 p.m. I was dragged into the conference room to let me know that I was no longer welcome back because I had quote no good reason to show up to the office after hours. I was under the impression that I had keys and codes for the alarm for exactly this reason, if I forgot something or if I had to come in early for something. I don't know Personally, I feel as though I…

Started a job at a tech company, found out my department (that has been ONE GUY for the past SIX MONTHS) had no organizational database. Literally nothing to chronicle interactions with customers, in a logistical field working with long haul truckers on a nationwide scale. It had been one guy doing the work of six for as many months, just keeping it all in his head. Understandably, he is horribly scatter brained and there was no way to know what was going on. I spent three days building a basic database from a program called retool and excel. Mind you, I'm just an hourly worker, I did this to help my supe and myself work better. Didnt think much of it, just wanted to make things easier. It blew up bigger than I thought, and suddenly everyone in the office was asking me how I categorized things and having me…
