Antiwork

I oversee a small team that has seen our workload quadruple in the last 2 years. I've been fighting for bonuses and promotions for myself and my subordinates for 6+ months and keep being asked for memos and metrics. I'm over it and planning to quit by June no matter what. As for my team, i've implemented an MVP practice – give me the minimal viable product to keep us compliant and clients off my back. Take lunch, log off at 5, run errands when you need to, use your sick and vacation days. We are done going above and beyond.

So I've been working with this org for 5 years now. I joined right after college and ngl I learnt a lot. Good people, good balance, good pay, interesting work. Enter a new line manager (“LM”) and things start rolling downhill. This “leader” never took a stand, played postman between his sales team and upper management and discouraged any differing opinion/ new ideas/ risks whilst continuously pushing for 1.5 X older targets. I'm the youngest sales manager in his team with the best numbers but he still screwed my appraisals back in Oct last year. He sat on my mails for reconsideration of the decision (playing postman on this one too). I wore myself out reminiscing and banking on the aspects of this job I used to like to the point I couldn't take it anymore and asked for a two week leave citing I need a “mental health break”.…

Hi everyone quick question, If you currently have a job, and you already put out your résumé looking for a new one, and the manager of the office that you applied to emailed you asking about an interview time, should you ask for the pay and job description upfront? Or go to the interview and then ask? I’m not sure because I would have to make up a lie or takeoff the whole day pretending to be sick at my current job to go to the job interview, and I don’t wanna waste my time if she’s going to give me a low offer than what I’m currently making. So should I email the manager asking for the salary range? Or is that unprofessional?

So long story short. Im currently going through a divorce. I took a weekend off from work to go out of town and was scheduled to work overnight sunday for monday. I cut my trip early to make it back in time to get some rest and showed up as scheduled. On the drive down i felt like i was getting sick and when i went to work i knee i was sick. Incould hear it in my voice i was cold but stuck it out for about 5 hours and ended up leaving early. I went to the dr that day and they told me to take 2 days off. I called my manager to notify him and he told me to rest up. Well the next day i get a call from my ex and daughter , they were arguing before she dropped them off at school and…

I have been hanging on by a thread with this company for the past month. I've been working there for 6 months. I'm late sometimes but I always do what “needs” done. This morning I got a text that told me my uncle had cancer. I kind of shut down. I was more able to communicate about 40 minutes after my shift started. I let my boss know and he called me telling me I'd be fired if I did not come in. I don't know what to do anymore.

You typically are asked to sign binding agreements in the first few days; if you use an alternate signature that is obviously not your own (and that is so early in your employment that no one catches you on it), could they still enforce it?

So basically, im fxking fed up! I keep getting rejected! I hate this? Why do companies waste ur god damn time! I cant wait to give them some piece of my mind. Honestly i hate this shit

I have a naturally high voice and it came up in my evaluation that people had a hard time understanding me on the phone. My boss said that I should take voice lessons to have a lower register. So basically I’m good at my job but my voice is a problem? On top of bills and an admin’s salary I’m supposed to invest in vocal training??

It was 2 years back but i was applying to a all natural grocery store chain. All i asked was i work Monday through Friday if i can and she acted like i was so entitled. Im seeing more people share interview stories and that by far is a better look inside turn over and how people are treated. I encourage more of these experiences being shared
