Antiwork

So I was with the company for just under six years. Recently quit early Feb. 2022 Got last paycheck late Feb 2022. Had to wait to pull my 401 benefits till they notified Fidelity that I was no longer an employee. Saw today that they put my end date Sept 2016. So basically saying I only worked there a year. Which scales down my earnings considerably. I was fully vested when I quit. Is there any legal action I can take?

I have been a k-12 teacher in the private school industry for 10 years. I love teaching and feel it is my calling. But we get paid shit despite the enormous endowment at our school. And this won't get any better. Not to mention workplace culture and exploitation of workers is rampant. Hence why I want to leave. Although I should mention I have also applied to other schools in the area that seem better places to work in general. A friend of mine referred me to a job they have in recruiting. It offers commission but has a base salary close to my current job. I clearly have never worked for the money but given the state of the economy and the clear indication that we are headed in the opposite direction of anti-work/anti-capitalism…I feel like I have no choice but to take this job if offered to me.…

I recently had a conversation with a HR Director for a position where I was advocating for a significant increase in pay. The HR Director went through their Remuneration Policy as well as their Bonus policy. This is a multinational pharma company that has billion's of dollars in revenue. They said that the 15% bonus is “pretty much” guaranteed subject to individual performance. The HR Director then asked “in light of this, would you be open to negotiating your salary expectations?”. I took this to mean, since you are obviously getting a bonus will you lower your initial salary expectations? Always say NO to this. A bonus may be highly likely, but if it is not part of your base remuneration, it is NOT PART OF YOUR SALARY. Don't feel pressured to lower your own value because of a potential bonus. Instead, potentially say something along the lines of “I…

As the title says, i am scared of work, i already worked as a seller but now i know that my mental health is at its worst place (plus i am autistic), i am 23, i live in mexico, hustle culture here is so present. I want to start my own business where i only work by myself because my social anxiety doesn't allow me to talk to people without feeling that i am going to puke after my hours. i don't know what to do seriously, i don't feel ready to work again but my mom is pressuring me because she doesn't want to support me anymore and she is tired of me. Thankfully i live at my grandparents house, the bad side is that they don't treat me that well but at least i don't pay rent. When i tell people about me being so scared of work…

I applied to this “ethical” “natural” small-business juicery place in my little city in vermont (not naming names) as a college student. they told me that they were flexible with the hours and that they would need a weekend shift and a weekday shift in the job listing. I applied for PART TIME. They knew I was enrolled in 18 credits. I was interviewed and the interview went great and they told me that the next step was to work a shift that was fully paid to see how I work (it was procedural for the store). I agreed only because the person there was highly optimistic that I was going to be hired and I made it apparent that I would be quitting my prior job in order to fit this working shift into my schedule. so I worked the shift, and they basically had me do labor all…

I’m angry I worked for them for so long and never got a raise. I’m angry that I ran their entire business and never made over $10 an hour. I’m angry that last year they didn’t withhold any federal tax so I now have this huge unexpected payment I have to make. I’m angry and I had to leave a job that I loved so much because I couldn’t support my family on such a meager wage. I’m angry.

With costs of fuel on the rise, soon our food will be increasing along side it and then all others services. A lot of us are forced to drive in to an office to do work that could be done remotely. We're unnecessarily burning fuel and increasing demand. Imagine how nice it would be if the US federal government passed a law, if you can work remote, you shall. Maybe we could even start converting buildings to housing for people. Fuck man, I'm tired of this.

I haven’t been this mad in a while. I just found out about this today because I do not live with her and she called me crying. So she works as a waitress and her manager(the owner) schedules her almost everyday after school and on the weekends. On top of that he makes her serve alcohol which is illegal. She has told him she can’t work everyday but he still does it. She told him weeks ago she couldn’t work yesterday (Monday), but he still scheduled her. She didn’t go in and he told her if he finds out she was at the high school soccer game there would be a consequence. Most of their servers are high schoolers so she’s scared he’s going to ask them since she did go. Finally, she told him she was quitting today and he told her that she has to come in to…
