Antiwork

I live about 35-40 minutes away from work. I get off at 2:30 and have a dentist appointment coming up at 3:00. I asked my manager a month ago if I could just not take my 30 minute lunch that day and then leave 30 minutes early. This was approved. Now the day before the app. I asked again to make sure that they remembered that I'd be leaving early, and was told that, even if I didn't take my lunch, I'd still receive points for leaving early. So instead I'm just using a vacation day tomorrow. That way I get 8 hours of pay, get to my app. on time, and not get points. TL:DR “We'll punish you for working seven and a half hours, so instead just don't come in”.

Hello In a few hours I will be going into a meeting and telling my bosses I quit it’s been a very long journey! I do not have a plan however I do have some savings and I had a few interviews this week. Whether or not I get a call back I’m still leaving my job. My family doesn’t want me to but I am not telling them anything. I just trust myself and grateful to have some savings. The money at my job is decent but I’ve been through hell and back here. I’ve had no time to focus on myself and I’ve falling behind on a lot of things in my life due to my crazy work schedule. In this prison, I’m just nervous to go into this meeting I don’t want them to try and pressure me to stay I’m ready to be free I trust…

Just started a new job and they expect me to be fast already. I just want to say “Can't we wait until I'm more experienced to worry about speed?” Speed comes with time! It's so frustrating when they rush you when you're just learning the ropes. I get it, time is money, but let me fucking breathe!

Title. Is this a relevant idea or it might do more harm than good? I already have a good job and I don't need the amazon job. I am a unionized worker and I know the whole process inside out with 4 years of union work experience. What's the worst that can happen? They fire me? I wouldn't want for people to lose their job because of me though..

I have spent the last 10 years of my life in the non-stop world of manufacturing. I started as a simple assembly operator, moving up into quality positions, set-up positions, and final inspection positions. I admittedly love my work. I love the fast pace, seeing how things are made, learning new things. I have worked my way into a pretty well paying job for my area. But today, I left my job. No notice, no goodbyes, nothing. I left, because at only 30 years old, I am facing spinal surgery. I have dealt with back pain for the past two or three years. Brushing it off as “all part of the job”, “small price to pay for the grind”, or whatever other bullshit line people have been fed for the sake of capitalism. Finally, two weeks ago I was bringing in groceries, when my back sounded like a shaken up…
