Antiwork

… was supposed to start an agency warehouse job today, so im on the motorway with two friends who already work their(i dont drive), and i get a call from the recruiter saying im no longer needed. I tell him im already on the way and he tells me hes sorry but the person i was replacing turned up today for his shift- so im redundant. But it doesnt matter because im just a guy, im expendable. Im 22 living alone, cant get benefits cause i havent paid class 2 national insurance for a couple years as ive been self employed for that time. Energy bill increased a whole £100p/m at the start of the year. What is the point anymore? In the right mind to walk into the bank tooled up… Sorry for wasting your time with this meaningless rant :p Fuck capitalism

Throwaway account for privacy reasons, mostly looking for advice. I work in a service department, focusing on butchering meat. I am extremely new, with little to no experience in the field. During my training, my boss got frustrated with the minor mistakes I had been making, and decided to lob a 3lb product around 6 feet through the air at me whilst cursing. I barely caught it rather than letting it strike me, the table or the massive knife I had just been using a few seconds prior and potentially causing a serious injury. What is my recourse if the boss above mine chooses to softball/not proceed with anything to prevent this happening again? What should I do if I become the target of retaliation for reporting this, given my company has a policy against retaliation? Thank you for your time/reading this.

So it's the same old story again. I hav been applying to various positions and I get calls for interview, but then they don't seem to reply back. I do as they tell me to, I send them my portfolio, my work samples and yet they are like oh we will let you know. Why would you even say that? That shit annoys me. Just say yes or no, as simple as that. Why to keep a job seeker hanging? Sometimes I just want to leave my job and just become a full time artist. But I am sure that my parents won't suport me. I am tired of my mundane life, there is no excitement and creativity left. And on top of this I GET TO HEAR THE SAME OLD SAYING THAT “OH WE WILL LET YOU KNOW AND GET BACK TO YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.” NAH BITCH…

He talks about missing his son's childhood and every event in his son's life because he had to work himself to the bone to let his son have a good childhood, or even just so they could live. That's just my take, sorry for ranting.
