Antiwork

I’m looking for advice. I’m on mobile so apologies for any weird formatting. I’m feeling so burnt out at my job. I hate it and I hate the company that I work for. I’d like to leave, but am waiting to line something else up. As I said, I’m burnt out, depressed, and constantly struggling to find the motivation to do my work. I work from home right now which I’m sure doesn’t help my mental health. I can go a week or more without ever leaving my apartment. For all of these reasons, I was really looking forward to taking a little bit of time off this summer to go on a vacation at a national park with my family (who live in another state). Part of the reason for the trip is to celebrate some of my brother’s recent accomplishments. I asked for 4 days off about 3.5…

I'm leaving an absolutely toxic job. My boss is an asshole; he regularly insults me, i get given the worst jobs to do, and I'm forced to stay hours past my aggreed upon finishing time. Also, whilst in the office, he said to the rest of them, “he would be better suited as a patient in a care home than work in one.” I have one week for ideas to make working there a living hell. I have thought of putting tuna into stock so it stinks up the place, but I need a lot more ideas.

So, I just got the news today that leadership is asking us to return to work in person, in the office effective 4/1. After a fairly hybrid schedule pre-COVID, and then full work from home schedule for the last 2 years, I'm in shock about what seems to me, a completely unreasonable request. I like my job, and get paid quite well, but how can I effectively combat this request? I am perfectly capable of working from home, I'm productive, available, and hitting goal. My life has been totally adjusted over the last 2 years to no longer accommodate commute time (1 hr each way) or commuter costs ($350/month). I have already looked and applied for full time work from home positions. But I cannot afford to make any moves without having something else lined up. Help! I need some push back talking points here.

I was contracted to TekSystems (a staffing agency) for employment and they misfiled my employment status to the wrong state as a remote worker. I caught the mistake early on but it was two paystubs worth paid to the wrong state. They've acknowledged it was confusion on their end for onboarding despite the two states applied for taxes (one for my resident state and one for the nonresident state) As we all know each additional state for IRS tax filing costs $50 which I've asked reimbursement for. If I didn't catch this error then this would've resulted in IRS penalties on my end and higher taxes as well. After 2 months of back and worth that was the end decision. TekSystems is owned by Allegis Group and their CEO is Steven Biscotti who paid $600 million for the Ravens in 2000 and an additional $325 million a total of $925…

I work at a tacobell. I know, not exactly an amazing job, it's my first one tho. I'm 15 years old and think my jobs not to hard, I can do basically everything there, as it's not to difficult. So last night, one of my Co workers, who's supposed to make meals, decided that he needed a break. He sat in a chair for 3 hours, mind you we only get 30 minutes of break. My manager, she was doing manager things (stocking up on stuff, making sure meats cooked and ready, etc.) And the only person operating the orders left. I don't know where they went, but when they returned they also were sitting saying they are on 'break'. I was working an entire damn restaurant while all my co workers were on break. So that's ridiculous right? Yeah well it gets worse. After we close, we are cleaning…

I recently received an email advertising an internship to college students. It requires a minimum of 3 months of full-time work, including weekends, nights, and holidays. They're offering a stipend of $1,000. I did the math, that's about $2 an hour. ETA: it makes sure to mention that housing and transportation are not included
