I hate my job and abuse the hell out of it for my gain. You all should too!!

I work for a very large aerospace company. Absolutely hate it. Dog shit culture, shitty management, shitty business decisions that result in public deaths. It is unorganized. Morale is very low and attrition is at an all time high. Disrespect is shown at every opportunity. Seriously. Fuck them all. I hate 99% of the little union shop floor employees like myself too. Almost everyone is insufferable. (Maybe I’m just a douche, idk) With all that said. I have pretty great benefits and use the fuck out of them. Free college is the main benefit I use. In my 11 years with this shitty company I have acquired a bachelors in business administration, MBA, and a master sun criminal justice. The only reason I did all this was: 1- it’s free, full tuition paid for and 2- this dumbass company gives me 100 shares of company stock for each degree conferred…

How do you guys recommend I piss off my boss for the next 12 days?

I currently work at a pizzeria and our boss has made our lives a living hell since she bought ownership about 3 months ago, micromanaging, cutting all of our hours so we can’t pay bills, trying to steal our sick time (we threatened to go on strike). I landed a pretty sweet gig recently and start in two weeks, so I have made it a priority to piss her off to no end. Does anyone have any ideas as to what I can do? I have her kind of backed into a corner right now because if she cuts my hours anymore I can accuse her of retaliation for the letter of demand we sent her.

“Working here will make you eligible for food stamps, so that’s a plus”

Back when I was interviewing around for jobs, I interviewed at a big name hotel chain. On top of having had to wear a suit everyday to work to a job that I know was going to pay minimum wage, I decided to ask a question or two, even though I knew I was turning it down. Talking to the manager, I asked what their benefits were like. He said that most of the employees made little enough pay-wise so that they actually qualified for Medicaid and Food Stamps, so that was like having benefits. ​ I wish I had a witty response, but I just shook his hand and felt terrible for the woman working the front desk.

Starbucks fires organizers as union threat grows! I say boycott their s*** coffee

Starbucks said the staff, who were leading efforts to organize a union in Tennessee, had violated the company rules. Please make sure you do not buy their products…Go to any other brand that treats the workforce better. Make sure your dimes and pennies do not contribute to this company's revenues. I think this is the least we can do to support the Right of Employees to have a Union.

LPT: use r/legal for questions about labor law. r/antiwork is great for support and ideas, but r/legal is where the lawyers and legal specialists hang out. It’s a great place to ask if what your boss is doing is illegal.

Oops. It’s r/legaladvice. Sorry; my intentions were good.

“The truth is more complicated?” That’s an understatement. I see a lot of businesses near me blaming a labor shortage and not accepting applicants.

Remember, Discussing Your Wages is “100% LEGAL”

I have seen many, many posts about where “Employers” claim or say that, discussing your wages at work with your co-workers is not allowed or is against their policy. This is in-fact false and the employers are telling you a lie. According to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) it is your 100% right to discuss your wages at work, during break, etc. This is your right as an Employee whether you are represented by a union or not. Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA or the Act), employees have the right to communicate with other employees at their workplace about their wages.  Wages are a vital term and condition of employment, and discussions of wages are often preliminary to organizing or other actions for mutual aid or protection.   If you are an employee covered by the Act, you may discuss wages in face-to-face conversations and written messages.…
