Antiwork

Do you make any distinction between corporate landlords and let’s say someone renting their 2nd or 3rd home? What are these distinctions and what lead you to these conclusions. If you were to say get a 2nd or 3rd home through inheritance how would you use it to help someone’s housing needs?

This was years ago, but the TLDR of the story is that taking nudes and being a cam girl saved me from a terrible job. I worked nights at a hospital in the medical records department. My job was to file records, get patient forms from the floors and file loose paperwork. I had to answer the phone and send patient information to other hospitals in emergency situations as well, but that was rare for me to do. I was mostly alone, but had 1 co worker two nights a week. Let me tell you. This coworker had it all figured out. She would come in and look busy until everyone else left and then watch netflix, because her 1 job was to watch the phones. I hated her for that at the time, but I was young and dumb. I took the night shift because I was going to…

So, this is from over 30 years ago. I'd left college, with IT qualifications and had a place at a local university. But I was keeping my options open and, after being offered various crappy, data-entry types jobs, I was finally offered a really good, IT developer job at a large company. I took that, in preference to going to University but, with hindsight, is now something I very much regret. The company had an IT dept. entirely staffed by degree-level graduates. Few people were coming out (this is the late 1980s) with IT degrees, so they were taking on people with, say, a degree in Zoology and then training them up. Their training was so good it won awards (and also caused issues – other companies would wait until people were training by this company and then poach them, rather than try and have training as good). But they…

Last year I finished university with a background in electrical engineering, I applied to a big strategic consultancy firm, despite hearing that interview process is long and fastidious, I knew it was one of the best start for the carrier, so i wanted to give it a shot. Glassdoor reviews were good. I trained myself for the job by doing shit tons of what they call “Business case”, it was one of the first interview i was doing. I trained doing some interviews with smaller companies before this one, to be fully ready. It was my number one job at the time The process was separated in 3 days, the first day, you have an interview with a Senior, the next day you have 2 interviews with 2 managers and the final day it is with 3 partners. Each interview is one hour long. Because of the covid it was…

Been fired over the phone, told me I'd get my p45 in the mail. The actual boss didn't even tell me, my supervisor did, he was apologetic as it wasn't his choice. One of the boss' told me I was one of their best employees just a few weeks ago. Apparently I'm fire because they don't think I can smile more for customers. Don't know why they did this really because they absolutely don't have enough staff anyway. They also did something similar to 2 other employees over Christmas but they didn't even get a call to tell them like I did, they just got their p45 in the mail and were surprised. Supervisor on the phone told me he's probably not that far behind me with leaving, they've fucked him around a bit and he's related to them lol (lot of nepotism in the company but that's a whole…

I've been with this company for a bit more than a year and a half now. I work as a sales-agent, always reaching my target and much beyond that when it comes to amount of sales. I never took a day off except a Saturday for about 18 months. Recently, a new manager joined and became my sales manager, the guy is a real snake and a liar but I won't get into that now. He basically hates my guts because I make more than him, I always try to be friendly with him but he started to get on my nerves in the last couple of months because he restricts my resources to close more deals. I had a lead come in three weeks ago, he wanted to go ahead with a huge purchase, so I obviously kind of closed the sale with him and had to forward it…

Pretty much. Minimum wage at 15 an hour. 600 every month. For this type of harassment? Whoever came up with the slogan of the customer is always right and companies who abide by it() I'll see you in hell.

I decided today to no call no show, I'm due at work in 2 minutes but I just can't do it. After 2 years of being treated like shit I finally had enough. The absolute feeling of dread I get thinking about going there is honestly sad. I put my two weeks in last Sunday and then used all my vacation time I could. I was supposed to go back today but I couldn't sleep or relax thinking about going there. I'm 8 months pregnant and considered high risk. My boss has scheduled me the worst hours, taken my breaks and overall just treated me horribly. His wife has come in and said all sorts of nasty things to me because she doesn't like me. Before I got pregnant I was working 13-15 hour shifts every day I worked because he wouldn't schedule anyone else to come in. That's just…
