I f*cking hate my boss. Like I hate the man. He degrades, belittles, mocks and blames me for everything that goes wrong. But I can’t find another job as of 2 months of searching. I’m so angry. I think I might have PTSD from this place.

Long story short- I’ve worked here for 9 months. In my role for about 4 now. I spent the entire time so far fixing mistakes from the last person, but my job is for 2 people- in one. Every day I get more and more behind because I can’t keep up, and anytime I mention this to him, he makes it about my lack of work ethic. I’m working overtime currently and not being paid. He also punishes me for that too. If I try to stay late after work or work on the weekend (unpaid I might add) he says that is a lack of my time management. But the last 3 people who did my job quit due to stress. At this point he no longer speaks to me, no longer asks about my day, we have no cordial conversations except when he’s belittling me. (He mocks me…

Spent 14 hours putting up Super Bowl displays yesterday

Our new regional manager is a huge sports nut and wanted to go big this year, we had a meeting a few weeks ago where he came in with a jersey on, face painted, and a big foam finger. He was fired up and screaming and said he wants to make national news for our super bowl displays. First we built a massive replica of the super bowl stadium out of cans of refried beans. It's right there as you walk into the store and looks stupid as fuck. Had a few of the younger stockboys help, they said it was like playing Minecraft. I didn't get to leave until 2 am. We also built a Dr. Pepper fanzone out of crates of soda. Basically a big sports castle. There are even flatscreen TVs in there. I happened to check it the next day and saw a homeless guy jacking…

Could we please normalize sharing our pay rates in “Goodbye” emails?

Like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/sp7stx/a_coworker_left_creating_a_168000_spot_vacant_his/ Even if it was fake, sharing your salary to your coworkers on your last day of employment seems like it would benefit those you're leaving behind immensely. What is that company going to do? Fire you?

Hot Take: Maybe we shouldn’t be making more cogs for the corporate regime

I don't believe we should be having kids in this economic environment. Hear me out. You're probably pretty pissed that your parents didn't have shit to offer and now you are stuck in an endless cycle of wage slavery barely getting by for 50+ years. I'd be there, too, if I hadn't “married up” to a higher caste. So my logic here is that having children of your own to suffer in poverty with you is inflicting the same generational poverty and hellish existence on yet another generation simply because “you wanted” them, despite being unable to give them a decent life. Even though It isn't your fault you can't provide them with a decent start in life, but seeing as most of us cannot, and are aware that our lives are generally pretty miserable, why do so many people still do it? Is it not the definition of selfishness?…

I’m not going to, but I’m tempted to make a batch of Participation Ribbons and start showing up with them at places that are hiring and have horrible ads

“Only apply if you're interest in ACTUALLY WORKING and are GRATEFUL TO HAVE A JOB” i feel irritated by people who write things like this. i wonder how they'd feel if some employable-looking people came into their business, asked if they were the ones struggling to find a person for the position from the listing, then thanked them for participating in the job market and handed them a ribbon. then, do like they always do and feign like you're genuinely trying to give them a gift or cheer them up or something
