Antiwork

Now that jobs are easier to find and moving from job to job with a short tenure seems common, it is easier to leave a job in flames. Leave the job telling everyone who will listen how terrible your manager was or call out coworkers who made up lies about you. Back when I was younger, years ago, I was treated horribly by some of my supervisors and coworkers but I sucked it up and just put up with it and looked for another job more aggressively. I did not want to create any waves and have the potential to get a bad reference or have an employment termination on my record. So I let my bosses and coworkers bully me. I always dreamed about submitting a formal grievance against my boss or writing a poison pen email to everyone in the company naming names and telling everyone how terrible…

In the case of a self-organizing system, the joint activity of components (e.g. people) ‘generates a field’ that guides their behavior in a distributed manner not mediated by centralized processing. In the case of a self-governing system, information distributed throughout the components is being collected, processed, and stored in a context-independent format, allowing the system to be more flexible in its choice of means. The extra layer of collecting, processing, and storing information distinguishes a self-governing system from a self-organizing (Ismael 2011). Put simply, a self-governing system acts like an aware and informed actor reacting to external signals according to its experience, goals, beliefs, etc. In contrast, a self-organizing system reacts on occurring stimuli in a predetermined and predictable way. Denters (2012) claims that a community initiative is a mode of public governance based on principles of self-governance. Based on his definition, we define community self-governance as a collective activity…

So my employer said I've impressed upper management so much that they promoted me. I will have 6 people working under me and will be responsible for the support of 23 locations while also doing my previous job. The big pay increase…10% of which I might see $150/m of. Gee thanks, double the work for 10% more, what a deal. That's 10% for the year that counts as my raise as well.

I used to work at a bookshop for the last 45 days, I Started working 9-12 hours a day, the job was customer service behind the counter and anything else if i don’t have work to do,i got paid per day, The manager who is the son of the bookshop owner told me to leave for 2 hours when we are not busy, when i asked him why, he told me that you’re not getting paid enough to buy a meal every day(and thats true) because i was getting paid 1 dollar per hour, if I worked 10 hours, one time, i came across the owner when i was leaving to eat at home, and he told me that I should stop coming to work for at least 20 days because they were not having enough customers due to bad weather, while i was left alone dealing with 10 customers…

I’m in the process of starting my new job in a field I can see myself staying in for a long time. It’s important to me that I’ll work a job that I actually enjoy instead of the disrespectful get-by jobs I’m used to. My best friend is getting married in late May and I’m a bridesmaid. I will be working an alternating schedule starting out and the wedding will be on a Saturday. As you may have seen from my previous post, I have made the mistake of being too trusting in my previous job. I don’t want to assume I’ve got this job indefinitely and I want to protect myself. But I have been her friend for years and she’s important to me so I have to do what I can to be in the wedding. When would be the best time to bring this up? And how…

It might sound very obvious that I should get a new job but I’d like to explain a little bit. So I will start with the cons of my job. To start, the pay is not great, the commute sucks, I recently discovered I make the same amount as someone who has worked there for 12 years (I’ve been there 3 years), sometimes I do work email outside of work because my work email is on my phone because they give me money every month for “phone reimbursement”, I could keep lost stuff but I want to get on to the pros. The pros are that I am great at what I do, I love everybody that I work with including my supervisor, I have some freedom in this place to walk away (still doing my job just need to be outside or in another building) and no one questions…

Im curious how much people make a year that are part of this subreddit. Please post your TC below! Edit: seeing a lot of high earning tech workers in here. This is very interesting to me.

I accepted a position with an expanding pharma company after a layoff in December. After a month my manager is riding me for my “performance”. My territory basically sucks and I recently found that several people have failed in this area. I mean, how much opportunity can you have in a 15 mile radius. After being hired I immediately saw a problem and it was my territory. I spoke with my manager about expanding into other cities and I was met with “I will get back to you”. After a month of diligently working my territory I get a call from the boss man. Basically he said I was underperforming compared to my class. I fire back: The other reps have 200+ quarterly prescriptions they are inheriting. There are 20+ demos in field for each clinic in other territories (easy in) They have a 40+ square mile radius and I…
