I have been working an awful job for the past 8 months. Here is some things they have done to me in a short period: Gave me the same contract as everyone then a week later did a switch and bait on me and gave me a contract with ZERO benefits. No early finish on a Friday (leaving me to be the ONLY person on site until 5pm), worse hours, more responsibility for no pay Approved my holidays then refused them when someone went sick Forgot to pay me 3 times in a row, putting me into debt with my LL Blamed me for everything wrong any director did, although i passed my probation with flying colours and no complaints Bullied me relentlessly, made me feel stupid Didnt let me take Christmas Eve off even though everyone else was entitled to it, so again left on my own Constantly put…

Bizarre response to a counter-offer
tl;dr employer got super offended when I countered their salary offer, the firm said I wasn't being honest, and demanded I take or leave the offer. Spoiler I left it. I applied for this job originally when I was unemployed in May 2021. I was not called or interviewed at this time. On my application I was asked for my salary requirements, I listed 50k.

Antiwork is pretty pro union… buuuutttt

There used to be lots of posts from people in this sub, telling their stories, floating up on the front page. Now almost every post from this sub that floats up are memes and screenshots of tweets. I’m probably just paranoid, but it feels a little like the memes and tweets are drowning out the stories from individuals on purpose. Either way, I personally wish memes and tweets weren’t allowed here. I wish this place was a bit more focused on the actual people that use this sub. Does that make sense? EDIT: Mods, can you make it so only text posts are allowed here?
