Antiwork

So, my company hired me one year ago. I have been doing different kinds of things. My boss told me he wanted me to see a little bit of everything. My main task though had been doing something totally out of my field of carrier (degree) in which I wasn’t learning ANYTHING (I guess no one else wanted to do it). They decided then, 5 months after i was hired, that I would replace a senior (66 years old) that is going to retire soon. He has been doing this job for years and it’s in the IT area. A quite of large responsibility. He takes care of an entire activity that only him can do. Me and him would do some exercises, sometimes, because I had other (useless) stuff to do and he had too. The training has been really scarce for the amount of responsibility he has and…

No jackets unless the company’s logo is on it, no visible tattoos, absolutely no dyed hair or piercings. I’ve worked here for almost a year and at other medical clinics, this has never been a problem until now

It’s been almost 2 years and there’s no change and they’re not doing much to make it easier to work. Coworker nurse keeps taking 2 – 1 hour lunch break, comes in late, disappears during shifts and takes a long time to evaluate donors (meaning you get 3 people for every 1 person she sees). She’s taking a medical leave to take care of her sister which I completely support. She’s coming back in April and my mental health can’t handle the stress of her coming back and I’ll be back to dreading coming in to work. They didn’t hire anyone so we’re left to deal with short staffing. Another coworker nurse calls in sick every other week. Im burned out (so is the other 2 nurses who works with me) and managers are not doing anything about staffing. I am waiting for another job working from home but it’s…

For obvious reasons I can’t go into too much detail but I’ll give the gist and hopefully you all might be able to give me some advice… Cutting a long story short, we have 2 office bases and there are 4 ‘area’ teams at our work in total, 2 in each office. Both of the team managers in my office have quit and the “head” of the other office has also quit. Moving to today, our senior has just handed in his notice (the guy below my manager) and that leaves three of us who are all at the same sort of level on my team. We already had three vacancies and now it’s five, and we were only just being able to get through our workload. I don’t know how much more I can take but I can’t hand my notice in as I’m tied into a contract to…

I've picked up on a few things at my workplace which I felt quite off about and but couldn't put my finger on. Having recently talked to a few colleagues, they all things that sound quite similar to each other and having recently found out a manager has previously been fired for sexual harassment and his management style is quite unethical and manipulative. but just fyi, he hasn't done anything to me particularly I just feel quite uncomfortable around him because of the vibe that he gives off, sort of reminds me of a psychopath basically..but of course I keep it professional with him. This particular manager has been known to eavesdrop on people and they've been called into the “interrogation” office where he would speak with them. He has previously fired people in a coverted way by for example, one time there was a lady who was reading/using her…

I(25M) have been job hopping ever since high school. Usually not staying with an employer for more than a year. I have had a few employers start 401k's for me once my 90 day trial period was over. I was never asked if I wanted one started or how much I wanted to put in each check. Once I noticed a drop in my paychecks, I would ask my bosses if I could cancel it and not put anymore in. They would just shrug me off by saying, they didn't know what to do, or corporate handles that. Once I'd leave my job, I would get a letter saying my 401k has been withdrawn and taxed and the remainder is sent by check. I never ask for a 401k or ask for it to be withdrawn. Do all companies do this? Do the companies have the authority to create, close,…

Hey everyone, I worked for a Fortune 100 company (Home Depot) as a salaried employee before I resigned in January 2022. At the time of my resignation, I had all of my vacation time available (80 hours) as I had just reached my work anniversary in November 2021. I reached out to HR as I had not been reimbursed for this vacation time in a few pay cycles. They were able to clear that up, but when I received my paycheck this week, it only shows I was reimbursed for 13.33 hours. I called back HR and asked why I wasn't paid out for the 80 hours that I did have. They told me that while I had availability of the 80 hours to use at my disposal, I actually accrue those hours each month. So, since my hours renewed in November but I only worked December and January before…

Dear people of Ukraine, Hey, I'm just your average American following the stereotype of getting involved where I probably don't need to. I'm both horrified thinking about all of you possibly getting injured or killed from being bombed and furious knowing that some of you have to work through this knowing your home and/or workplace could be destroyed at any second. You should NOT work during an emergency like this!! You should be finding a safe shelter to bunker down in. What can we do? Besides bringing in more guns and making things bigger and worse like our government always does… Is there an organization you trust to distribute resources to all of you during an emergency like this? Or do we need to set up some kind of GoFundMe?? There's over 1 million of us, if we all chip in, we could raise $1 million dollars at LEAST. I…

My female counterpart (1 year) makes significantly less than me, and my shift lead (2.5+ years) makes only .20 more than me (3 months). I told them both my pay, waited for them to stop being upset, and told them to use my name specifically when they demand their raises with our GM. If they leave because they won’t give raises I’ll be doing 3 peoples’ jobs and leaving myself without a proper raise. Pay your employees properly if you don’t want the labor shortage to affect you.
