Antiwork

I worked in finance for several years per my degree. I wanted to go back to school for data science, couldn't afford to finish. Due to the gap this created in my resume no one will hire me. Mostly my old job doesn't exist anymore and for the most similar jobs there is always another candidate. I can't find a job at all in my field. I tried signing up for government sponsored career counseling, no one will write me back and everything is remote so there is no office to go to. I have been looking for jobs as a home cook and house cleaner, and no one will hire me. I don't have experience. My service job for which the boss doesn't pay us the hours we clock in for, has seen a huge reduction in pay. I can't complain my hours were cut because he never paid…

Let me explain, OP mentions that he/she is not being paid/treated/ well, or is overworked at their current job. Top comment most times says to start applying elsewhere (valid advice). Then, seemingly every reply states “I did that and now I make 2x my salary,” or “I was just hired somewhere new in less than a week where I received a 10k sign on bonus! I've never been able to just switch jobs that quickly, and definitely not find one so easily that pays significantly more than the last (oil and gas). Are people just BS'ing? Or is that actually common for most employees right now? It's just frustrating seeing the same comment over and over again, post after post. Anyone else noticing this? Thanks for reading

I work in a grocery store. When I go on break, I get food at the in-store Cafe. Management has been making that dept a living hell for workers and nobody wants to work there, so they're short staffed to boot and getting food takes a long time. So I refuse to clock out until after I get my food. The store manager says it would be just like if I left work and drove to McDonald's. I said, 'you're right, you should pay me for that too.'

My company was acquired back in November. Prior to, I worked in one location but this rapidly changed once acquired. I expressed my concerns over traveling far distances especially since I had previous ongoing commitments. They were informed on multiple locations; but did not comply ; therefore, I gave my notice today!! It started when My manager was upset I called off for going to the ER for an allergic reaction. I told them this was not an ideal work environment. Sanctioning someone over an emergency!? Fuck that place.

Like, even if my job was getting blowjobs and doing cocaine, I wouldn't want to do it for 12 hours straight. Most service jobs require you to do double shifts back-to-back on Saturdays and Sundays. Fuck right off. It's almost like employers are actively trying to crush your soul with that shit. Especially if you're making a shit wage and not given enough hours to qualify for health insurance.

I think it’s been building up for a while but I just raged in a way I’ve never raged before. Scared the shit out of my wife. I was in my basement well away from everyone and I can’t even remember what set me off first. It was clearly audible because everyone is walking on egg shells now. Part of the fallout resulted in a damaged — no, destroyed — computer monitor; it’s like 6 years old and refurbished in the first place but it isn’t mine, it’s my companies. I’ve been interviewing for weeks now, mind is completely fucking pancake batter from coding in one language all day for my job and interviewing in another because I just about can’t stand writing C# and I need to get back to iOS and/or Android work. Additionally, the industry I’m in has sucked the life out of me. I accepted an…

I am so pissed and am trying to just wrap my head around everything that happened today, please excuse my rant. I went to my manager (has been remote and when you try to reach her mia) she has been semi-present for a few months) to ask a question and long story short the conversation went well until the very end when I was about to leave. She told me that we need to have a sit down with the owner. I have been with company for 2.5 years and he has been present maybe 5 times (body, not mind) (nobody cares about your wife Jennifer) currently in Florida vacationing, told us all about how he works so hard, even when he is in Florida he works till noon. Work ethic is important that’s what his Dad taught him when he took over the company and everyone needs to be…
