Antiwork

TL;DR: I forced my boss to give me a raise then a bonus and now I'm pretty sure he's looking to fire me. I work for Two Men and a Truck as a lead customer service rep. I was getting ready to have a baby last year and asked for a raise to keep up with my rent increase so I could focus on the baby. My boss argued against it, but eventually we negotiated a new deal that wasn't as much as I wanted but it was enough. But one of the things he said stuck with me. He told me “We are not responsible for what happens outside of your work” I used to work here because I liked it until he took over as my boss. The whole “we're a family” cliche was actually true here. But to him we are expendable assets. I decided that if…

I've been working in IT with my current employer for a few months. I adore almost everything about my job and can't complain much, however I noticed how everyone else is miserable all the time. My partner works nearby and we have lunch together, because of the winter weather we decided to stop having lunch together until it's nice to be outside again. Since then I've been doing my lunch in the office Break room always alone, nobody else uses the room except for heating their food and going back to the desk. I was working on someone's computer and I asked when do they take lunch so I can continue without interrupting their work and they answered “I never take lunch, I eat on my desk”. I heard the same from other people and I've seen others go out to buy food and then eat while looking at a…

I came into this role accepting a lower compensation than I had from other companies, with a written promise that I would get “a dramatic increase” in compensation. Yearly review comes around and I have no offer, until I confront my direct reports. After an hour long conversation they were pleased to offer me increased responsibilities with a whopping 1.03% increase in compensation

Hey, folks! Wanted to share my experiences at the moment with my current employer, a large organization all over the country that operates gyms and might have a song named after them. I've been here for about six years and put so much energy, blood, sweat, and tears into doing the work. But every year, shit gets worse and worse; I've had about 10 bosses in just under 3 years, and been turned down for opportunities for being paid like a decent human being. Well, in 2020, they banned cashing out PTO when you leave. In 2021, they reduced carryover hours from 160 hours of PTO to 120. And during that time, they fought me on trying to take a month off through PTO and not use Leave of Absence/FMLA instead. Today I find out 2022 policy is now you can only take two weeks of PTO at a time…

I'm job hunting in prep for a move, and a job just reached out to me. The job is 45 minutes' drive from where I'm planning to live. I think I'm going to tell them I'm interested, but I need more money to consider that commute, so I'm adding $10/hr to what I'd normally ask for(basically a 40% increase) We'll see what they say to that!

Monday – Friday 4 fucking hours a day! Who in the fuck wants to work part time five fucking days a week. I am so sick of every part time job doing this. Its like every single employer took common sense and said “how can I reverse this to make this job as backwards and unreasonable as humanly possible”. /rant

So, I’ve been on Reddit for a few years now and this is my first post, it’s kinda long so I’m sorry. The past 7 months or so I had been working as a food server at a small restaurant. The owners own 5 or 6 restaurants, and were hardly ever around. I enjoyed the position, I really liked my coworkers (for the most part) and I got paid about 25-30$ an hour from tips and being a hood and kind person. I knew this was not going to be a career though because I am currently in college to be a high school chemistry teacher (because I hate money and I never want to have enough of it). So, enough background. In December the owners fired the general manager and replaced him with one of the servers. She had been working there for maybe 5 months, had never had…

Not like we just had record inflation or anything so employees shouldn't need a bump, right? Management is trying to 'shut down' that expectation for all employees
