Antiwork

I am a nurse at a large metropolitan school district. This year, because of COVID, our work responsibilities basically tripled. We have all been working long days, staying sometimes 2-3 extra hours because there are not enough hours in the workday to get everything done. This is unpaid time, of course. (I even did work from home while I had COVID myself, also unpaid since I had run out of sick time, because I am an idiot.) We get lots of thanks from management, but no bonuses and no retention incentives, while they accept our free labor. Well, because enrollment has dropped dramatically, we are losing funding and nursing FTE is being slashed. So we are now being told to ask our individual schools to buy up our time – basically fund a portion of our FTE. They actually gave us talking points to present to our building leadership to…

It does not pay your rent for your bosses to be nice to you. It does not afford your future for them to be woke while raking in BILLIONS 1,000,000,000,000. Those are the digits they see on their paychecks. What about you? Lets cut the bullshit and fight for our god damn wages. Edit: to be clear, niceness shpuld be expected not appriciated

Commutes are a mandatory part of maintaining a job. Nobody lives next door to their job anymore, and this was done on purpose. If you can't prove that the position requires in person availability, commutes should be paid for, or at least compensated. If they won't even give a cost of living adjustment, they can pay for the god damned gas.

*NOTE: I'm from the Netherlands * So yesterday I was approached by a homeless man. I was waiting at a bus stop to take a bus home, it was about 11 at night. I was pretty sick (thankfully not covid) but I had to be somewhere that evening so by the time I met him I was in a bit of a fever haze. I still am to be honest lol. He came up to me and asked me for some spare change, he told me he was going to sleep at a nearby shelter, but they gave his bed to someone else and he needed a few euros more to sleep somewhere else. I had just taken all the change out of my pockets the other day, but there was an atm right across the street so since I had 3 minutes before my bus I dashed over there…

Hi guys, First post here, so basically I've worked for a metal foundry for 3 years now and been nothing but loyal and hard working as i really enjoy the job . It's only me and the owner who works there and we've actually usually got a good relationship. However I've been off ill for the last 3 days and actually tested positive last night so I'm currently awaiting a pcr test. I informed my boss this and he was trying to get me to go in regardless, he's high risk anyway due to having a partial lung removal, I wasn't comfortable with this and after checking government guidelines I have been informed that I should stay home if I have symptoms. I have been on my sofa barely able to move and sweating ungodly amounts so much so that i havent been able to sleep next to my amazingly…

I have been sitting at home doing nothing for about 3 weeks now, and will sit at home doing nothing for another 3 weeks. In the second week of February I was evicted. It was in a state I'm not from that has management companies that view an eviction as an automatic do-not-rent-to, even though I was offering up to 5 months advance rent. I couldn't do much about it, so I dropped my in-person college classes, packed all my shit, and moved back home to Chicago. I'm currently crashing in a friend's spare room while I wait for my new place to be ready next week. I have a job offer that doesn't start until 3/21, so I'm just vibing at home and I've never been happier. I wake up at 11, walk the dog, work out, do some creative writing, and play a bunch of video games. This…

Just started a new fully remote job which relies heavily on other people moving projects forward, and so a fair bit of downtime on a daily basis. I would like to know if there is any way I can see if my work laptop has any corporate spying software installed to monitor clicks or mouse movement etc… I'm fairly computer literate but I'm not a programmer or anything and certainly don't want to poke the beast by making it look like I'm checking. Could some more tech savvy people give some advice on what I could do?
