Antiwork

Not that big of a story, really. The company I work for is severely understaffed, and my department in particular has lost 2 of its 5 people this past month. It takes 4-6 six weeks to train somebody to do the work, so it’ll be a heavy load for the next few weeks at least. Today my department had a meeting about this, and how we’re all expected to work harder to get all the work done, but still not work over 40 hours because we won’t be paid overtime. I also want to mention that where I work (Texas), there’s no law requiring an employer to offer health benefits, and my employer does not. So after our meeting I emailed my boss and said I was tired of working so much when obviously we don’t have a good retention rate and we’re not filling positions. So I gave an…

Ukraine has been waging a war of ethnic cleansing in the east of its country. They have passed laws outlawing Russian in schools and in govt. When the war started 8 years ago, they turned neo nazi paramilitaries such as Right Sector and Azov Battalion into their national guard and let them do whatever they wanted to the free people of Donbass. Many of you will scream Russian troll, but much of this has been reported by western sources such as France 24 and Patrick Lancaster. This war did not start yesterday, it started 8 years ago when a people desired to be free. Ukraine has bombed and shelled civilians for all of it but this is where you draw the line? Donetsk was the industrial center of Ukraine. These are all working class people who don't want to be part of a government that has murdered their children for…

Im 18m in community college and I just lost my minimum wage job at khols a few months ago. I fucking hated it. The environment, the customers, management, and most of my coworkers sucked and they caused alot of drama surrounding me, when I was just doing my job. Now I'm out of money and I need a place to work. I don't know what to do, the thought of working anywhere like khols makes me feel physically sick. I also have alot of sensory issues and food aversions, so food service is a definite no . I'm not sure where to work, or what to do, and I cannot handle working in a place that makes me feel so miserable and hopeless. Any advice? Like should I just suck it up and be miserable everyday of my life? I'm so conflicted

So after a month and a half of working at subway, I'm leaving. haha, didn't expect to be typing this soon. I'm 18 years old and graduated out of high school so I don't have to worry about school, so I'm a daytime priority. I have a manager who opens every day except for weekends and I open Saturdays and close on Sundays. Throughout the week, I work lunch and day shifts, I work inside of a Walmart in Florida so we are a VERY busy store. 90% of my opening and lunch shifts I am alone, During my close I've had 1 MAYBE 2 people helping / closing with me. Until a few weeks ago I wasn't reaching the “3-minute service” and was getting 4-5 minutes a customer, and would get overwhelmed when there were over 4 sandwiches. I don't feel I've exactly been treated nicely or fairly for…
