Antiwork

I just started a job at a Korean BBQ place as a busser and everything seemed great. People were nice, uniforms are comfortable, and tips are good. I just woke up after my first closing shift last night. I worked until midnight, after 7 hours. Now i’m not a complainer at all, in fact I don’t mind sweating for 7 hours and going home with concrete feet because my feet are flat. but after mopping the entire restaurant and now the bathrooms, I couldn’t help but think “I didn’t sign up to be a minimum wage janitor.” I go to school full time and it is NOT EASY. Idk how many 12am shifts I can do. I was a busser for 3 years at an Italian restaurant and loved it, around 4 hours and around ~$40-60 in tips every night. my rent is ~$950 btw. PLEASE drop any recommendations for…

I understand security. Two factor authentication is a neat way to help protect business assets. For some reason today, however, setting up my personal phone to take on-call messages and for MFA on all the company's apps really made me despise all of these companies relying on my cell phone to protect their digital assets. It's my phone, and I get that the paycheck given to me pays for it, but I don't want to let your company use my phone to get a hold of me after hours or install apps to protect your data. If you want to play like a full sized company, give me a phone that can protect my logins to your systems – stop expecting me to do this on my phone because “everybody has a phone” and “it's not like it's intrusive.” It's your data. Protect it with your equipment. ​ Sorry for…

I gave my 2 week notice that my last day was Feb 1. My boss went from speaking to me daily to not at all. My last day I asked what I should do with the equipment. I worked from home and have their laptop, monitors, printer, and wires. No response. The following Friday I texted my boss who said he will look into it. Usually they would send boxes so eq can be shipped. Two weeks later still nothing. I sent a follow up saying I can no longer house their equipment and it needs to be resolved this week. What are my options if they keep delaying it? Im in Louisiana

I really want to leave a job I have been working in since I was a kid, but am terrified to tell my employer that I don’t want to work there anymore. It is a small place and a small team, but I feel dread every time that it is time for work and the hours aren’t so good either. There is loads of job opportunities where I live but to be honest I have been working 14 years straight and in that time hardly ever asked for a day off. What I really want to do is just take a break from the work force altogether, maybe that might be good for my mental health because for for years I have suffered from anxiety and other stuff that I am trying to deal with. Tldr- Afraid to quit my job that is taking a toll on my mental health.…

So I'm on the government's job bank, because I've given up with services like indeed. According to this same website the minimum wage is $12/hr, and the median wage is $26/hr for the area. Of the 400 jobs posted in my area, only 6 of them are at or above $25/hr. Mostly roofing jobs paying around $27/hr, the highest was insurance sales at $32/hr. The overwhelming majority are $12 to $14/hr. I even seen a couple $11.25s in there, guess the system doesnt automatically flag people who pay less than minimum. Lots of duplicate posts too, so its probably more like 300 jobs. My favorite one so far is Farm Manager: Responsible for purchasing equipment, feed, seed, and livestock. Responsible for maintaining all farm equipment. Responsible for all recruitment and training. Determine all crops to grow and livestock to raise. Organize and coordinate planting, cultivating, harvesting of crops; raising and…

I showed interest in a position opening in a different area at my work. I’ve filled i and done the job for the past year while they’ve tried to fill it. Had a couple people hired for it not work out so I decided to apply, they offer me the job buuuuuut at entry level pay meant for brand new hires, which is ridiculous considering I’d seamlessly transition to the position with out needing training and not to mention I’ve been with the company for 10 fucking years so all my performance based raises I’ve received get flushed down the toilet. I understood it was a slight step down but not a 5$ difference and be paid as new hire. So fucking dumb.

I’m a college student but have been working with this popular clothing retailer for four years now. I have been in a management position for over two years. I have barely seen a reasonable raise. I make a few more dollars an hour than I did when I started out at minimum wage, but it’s still not enough to cover cost of living. Many managers work 2 jobs and make more at the other one. Three of the five managers are making under what most retailers give starting out to cashiers. It’s sucks because my job is easy going some days and others it’s a lot to handle. I train new hires, sell like I’m on commission, do business side stuff, attend conference calls on my days off, I have a 45 minute round trip on days with no traffic. I tried to transfer to a closer location but I…
