Antiwork

Employers hate distractions from work. Don't mention kids, commute, or any other reason you may need to stay home for a position. By talking about your OFFICE employers will not have ammo to use against you. I used this and I don't even have a home office.

My “boss” (actually my client since I'm self employed) is a very abusive, unreasonable person. Anyone who has spent more than five minutes in his presence knows this. I am currently looking for another job but not having much luck. ​ He's the only one here who can make financial decisions. We do construction, I do the bidding and he gives me the pricing to put on it. He has an extremely nasty habit of telling me to charge for something, or not charge for something, and then later not remembering that he said that and blaming me for it. Most recently was a job I bid on back in like September, October sometime. We were trying to bring the price down so he told me, “dont charge for the precast” so next to precast, I wrote “do not charge for this, per “boss” with the date next to it.…

Tl/Dr: agency offers my less qualified daughter $20/hr but can't actually hire her, only offers me $12/hr My daughter applied for a job as a home health aid worker. She has no experience in the field of health care, doesn't have a reliable car and has three children under the age of five (two under the age of two) that will likely affect her attendance when the daycare can't take them because Covid-19 exists and everyone is paranoid. The starting salary was $20/hr, but she has a felony conviction on her record so she can't get hired until she gets it expunged. Fair enough, she says. But she suggests that maybe I should apply instead since she has to wait until she finishes probation and she'll just keep working at her current job. So I go in to pick up the application. We chat a bit and schedule the interview.…

Half the posts I see on here are something my grandpa would send me. Like fair enough, I guess you’re anti-work if you’re already retired.

Hello, Long time follower, first time poster here. TLDR; My story began last year when I got offer to work at an agency. It was in the middle of a pandemics and I took the first offer available eventhough it was not my desirable pay. Three months later, at the end of my probation, they said they would not offer me a permanent position eventhough I have just finished a big web project for them. The reason was they want more times to evaluate me fully. I did have Covid and had to take 2 week off but still managed to finish the project on time after my recovery. And it was because of those 2 weeks that they said they did not have sufficient time to test my skill. They proposed to renew my probation instead and to which, I agreed as like I said we was still in…

So I think we can all agree these and retail conglomerates don’t give a shit about workers and will continue to exploit the shit out of anyone or anything to turn a buck. So, then why do y’all continue shopping at them? I was hanging out with my friends and they were, understandably, complaining about their jobs at Kroger. I then asked where do they shop at. They shop at Kroger. This would be understandable if their weren’t any better alternatives around, but we all live in a vicinity where Costco and WinCo are available (I’m sure these places have their problems, but in comparison to Kroger and Walmart??) All I’m saying is not working for these places isn’t enough; use your purchasing power and buy from places which don’t treat their employees like complete shit.

While in most cases in life, this statement holds true, I feel like when employers say this, what they really mean, is whoever works the most hours gets the promotion. Especially in the context of a professional services consulting firm – this was their reply when I asked what career trajectory looks like for the role I'm interviewing for.
