Antiwork

I work for an EU state-owned company. I have chosen to work for this company because COVID hit the former industry I was involved with pretty hard. I absolutely love what the company stands for and has to offer. Securing a new job during these unprecedented times was really important to me. Upon applying I didn’t necessarily ask for a bigger wage than what I was earning back then because the work-life balance and the extras provided made up for it. I figured I would just work hard to earn any raise I would be asking in the future. Fast forward to one year later : my evaluation was the best I have ever gotten, I am meeting or exceeding all expectations and have also successfully taken over some extra responsibilities (which I am happy about in order to further develop my skills and help build my case). When I…

I need opinions on how my brother is being treated at his workplace. – my brother is a government contractor in a large firm (USA) you’ve probably heard of. He has epilepsy and can’t drive. His work requires him to be on site 3 days a week. He is paying out of pocket for Uber rides to and from his job site -OVER $100 A DAY. HIS WORK WILL NOT REIMBURSE HIM. HIS WORK HR HAS STEERED HIM AWAY FROM FILING FMLA. please please help us figure out what to do. He said the HR person said it’s in his best Interest to NOT file FMLA and didn’t provide him any resources. Shouldn’t mandatory transportation to a job site be a reasonable accommodation for someone who can’t drive??? Am I going crazy?? Please help. Thanks so much. He is a very non-confrontational person and i think they are 100% taking…

i’m currently working as an ER tech — the pay is better and i’ll take an unpaid break over running nonstop with only the time you’re writing your report as “downtime” for the day — but i really miss ems. i’ve debated going and getting my fire cert but i enjoy the medical aspect of ems more than anything. the two ems companies i have worked with have been awful. there were a lot of bad aspects of the job i was willing to deal with, but what really got me was management at one telling a room full of emts about two of our coworkers that were running nonstop calls for 24 hours and fell asleep at the wheel. they died and all management could say about it was that it was an act of god and couldnt have been prevented — “the crew did everything right; they did…

Pretty much what it says above God, this is just SAD! He had SO many opportunities to thank the workers for them beating their expectations, but of course only mentioned them when he talked about the strike. You can tell he is speaking straight to the shareholders and that is it! I will NA boycotting Kellogg! FYI – they have been taking Kellogg off their products, so just be aware of that, if you plan to boycott, as well

Hello everyone, I’m Saint. I’ve been a lurker of this sub for a while and never really considered posting anything because my job is not too bad and I have almost nothing I can complain about it — At least until now. I work for a staffing company that provides personnel to a Resort for a plethora of roles, my work consists of finding the best people I can and get them to work. Sounds easy, right? Well, I can’t say it’s exactly difficult, but dealing with people isn’t always a walk through the garden. My bosses make more money the more employees I get for the hotel’s operation, so I’m basically my bosses’ face at the hotel. Anyways, Last year a huge group of my staffing decided to leave all of a sudden. I didn’t really mind losing them because this specific group of about 10 people weren’t the…

Let me know ! I am here for you, you are much more valuable know you are more than a robot and you don't deserve to be exposed to dangerous, unsafe, and unfair work environments. Workers united!

For reference, I live in VA. I put in my two weeks to my company. HR has let me know that despite having 87 hours of PTO in reserve at most the company will only pay me for 40 hours of PTO. Just wanted to see if anyone in r/antiwork has encountered something similar in my position.

Just something I noticed in my life anyway. My first job was back of house staff in a chain restaurant for federal minimum of $7.25/hr, a.k.a “if we could legally pay you less, we would”. Currently (ten years later) I’m managing a coffee shop for $40K yearly plus bonuses. Every job I’ve had since then (with one exception) has been a huge pay increase from the one before and has ALWAYS also been an easier job. Even though I have a lot more responsibility, this is the least stressful job I’ve had, and the only full time one where I’m not expected to work past 40 hours without some kind of extreme reason. The one exception was when I left a manufacturing job to work for FedEx because they were offering $3/hr more than what I was making at the time but after two weeks I couldn’t handle the mental…
