Antiwork

I get an email asking for someone to be a bus transport assistant. (Get on the school bus with the student to keep them safe/manage behaviors) the pay is such shit and the hours are longer. They're always begging people to do bus transport but don't want to increase the pay to encourage people to take the jobs. I always take joy when they ask me to do transport because the answer is always going to be no

I’m pregnant and parts of my job will need to change to accommodate that, as well as the obvious I may have appointments I need to go to thing, so I wanted to chat to my boss about it this afternoon. However earlier in the day a situation occurred, and I think he thought I wanted to quit. I work on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and I work by myself. My department should always have three people but currently it’s just me. There’s also someone that works Tuesday and Thursday. Next week a full timer was supposed to start but overnight last night she withdrew. On Monday, Tuesday girl messaged me saying she can’t work next Tuesday and asked if I could swap. I can’t, I already have appointments and my daughter isn’t in daycare that day. So I told her that, but with the new girl it should be fine.…

I was thinking about the McDonalds notification, encouraging their workers to not quit, once their tax returns arrive. On one hand, they know their employees earn so little that they will likely receive more substantial refunds since they’re technically under the poverty line, they likely also fear the sudden loss of exploitable income if their employees all quit after their tax returns give them a bit of wiggle room for a month or two. Idea. File your taxes early, this month if possible. Save that tax money, and keep working for whatever fast food or retail joint you may have in a similar situation, and then just quit at the very end of April without the customary 2 weeks notice. Let them feel the pain of their own workplace abuse, just in time for May Day! This is just an idea. I’d love to see opinions and ideas regarding this…

A page for the italian anti workers. I'll post it in the next post, because i don't know why the bots consider this post spam, without any apparent reason Potrebbe esserci, in Italia (come in qualsiasi altro pese europeo) la percezione che antiwork sia qualcosa di solo “americano”, che non ha niente a che fare con l'europa, qualche moda del momento dagli USA che svanirà presto. Non è così ovviamente, è qualcosa in cui qualsiasi paese è coinvolto e che non va percepito come qualcosa di “lontano da noi”. Condividete esperienze, confrontatevi e discutete di tutto quello che rientra nell'ambito del lavoro e del nostro sistema sociale ed economico. ————————————————————————————————————————————— There could be, in Italy (like in every other european country) the perception that antiwork is something only “american”, that has nothing to do to europe, some trend of the moment from the USA that will soon vanish. It is…

So I’m 21 and trying to save up enough to move my girlfriend and myself out of her house and I’m making $16.50 (I’ve been in the $20’s at other jobs) but I’m working for a temp agency and about to get hired on and thru the grape vine I’ve heard that they give a tiny bump upon hire but won’t negotiate more, their words were “if you don’t like the amount there’s the door” and I felt like I was in a comfortable position to ask for $18-$20 upon hire (as it’s a struggle just to save a decent amount of money every month) but now I feel like it’s a risky play as they could just tell me to walk… what do I do?

I worked a coupe of days of approved OT, now my job is saying I have to call off because they stopped OT after I worked it. So I have to call off so I won't go into the OT I've already worked.
