Antiwork

So as the title suggests, people at my full time job are ragging on me hard for wanting to start my own thing. I’m trying to get away from my full time job. Huge corporation, with greedy executives who don’t give a shit about the employees and expect us to put in overtime out the ass for a pat on the back. I’ve been doing drone videos and clips and photography and have been promoting my services on social media. People from work see it and basically just give me shit about it all day. This might not be the place for this kind of content but I’m just wanting to get out and make them all stfu when they see me blow up. How should I handle it? I mean it doesn’t bother me to much, but it does get annoying. I can’t wait for the day I can…

My Friends, I hesitant to write this post, as I am afraid I’ll reveal my current employer. My current situation is bizarre, toxic, and somewhat unbelievable. In order to protect myself, ‘ABC’ will serve as the company name. A few weeks ago, I filed a formal complaint with ABC’s Ethics department. ABC is synonymous with the industry and operates nationwide. ABC employs people of all walks of life, many of which are highly skilled and educated. Overall, ABC is great! Healthcare! 401k! Stability! Structure! etc, etc. All The Things (!) we were taught to value no matter how toxic the environment, how small the paycheck, or how little the appreciation. Many individuals happily retire with ABC and that is wonderful for them! I recently celebrated…just kidding, I, like my supervisors, barely acknowledged my 6 year milestone. Many of ABCs employees possess graduate degrees, doctorates, J.D., masters certifications, etc… you get…

Just read a post, started to look at the comments, and wouldn't you know it normal people and a mod calling the person a faker, thin skinned and cowardly. If you're gonna make a community based on people struggling through unemployment and getting screwed over by the system don't fucking laugh them off.

I'm not going to lie to customers about why service and food is slow. I'm not going to blame myself or my coworkers. We are busting our arses to make sure everyone enjoys their food and experience at the restaurant. When we are understaffed despite knowing we have 40+ people reserving tables with more walk ins expected, I'm going to say we are understaffed. I'm going to say we are struggling to keep up with the demand because our boss won't put more staff on because we could, potentially, be less busy. I also found out that while front staff and kitchen share cash tips, we don't keep tips on card. Our boss seems to keep them. So, I'm telling people that – either tip with cash or don't tip at all. I'm not lying to save the restaurant from the shame of the sketchy practices the boss is okay…

I am 20 and so far dread this shitty and repetitive nature of life as another cog in the machine. I work Saturdays, Sundays and Mondays. I got done with my first 8/24 hours of the week today and I hate it so much. So for starters, I've been working at a Chevron Gas Station since late November of last year and I hate it. The pay is really shitty as well. I have 8 hours a day and get $14 an hour. So that's $112 a day. So instead of getting paid the amount that is necessary, I end up getting a tax cut which rounds it to $294 ever week and I hate it. The usual pay would be $336, but I understand the tax cut, but still don't like it. I turn 21 this April and I dread it simply for the fact that my co-workers keep…
