Antiwork

I used to work at an independently owned wedding/prom dress shop that would buy cheap dresses and slightly modify them and then sell them for 50 times the price. I was initially told by the other workers that it's an easy job where you mostly just sat around doing nothing all day. One or two sells would usually be our goal during the slow seasons. I was hired and told I'd be paid $8 an hour before training and $12 an hour after. My wage stayed at $8. My manager was a hard ass, always asking me to look busy for the customers whenever she would watch me on the camera. It usually seemed like nobody was working in the store because the stuff I'd do would hide me from customers. I was only looking busy to her and no one else. I also have scoliosis, so being on my…

I used to work in this private company that was created by a few major banks in Canada. We did back end work to store certain encrypted information for them. This was 2015. Anyway, this Architect who was 45 years old was often in meetings I was in because we were working on the same project. The bank client we were working with is incredibly demanding and hard to deal with. It was common to have meetings well after 7 pm local time. One night, we all finished work and went back home at 5 pm. By 6:30 I got a message to join a meeting immediately because some executive on the client’s side was having a chronic meltdown. We SCRAMMED on the call and after realizing that there were no issues from our end, it was a third party vendor that they insisted on using that was causing THEM…

I work as a data curator for a cloud data company for about a month. I work remotely, and I need to work 8 hours a day. The thing is, before this I would work for about 5~6 hours a day. I think most people who never worked remotely can't relate to this but, the thing is: this 8 hours of work is equal to me sitting in a chair being productive, no stop. Working 8 hours in an office or something like this you can get up, walk, you can talk to other people, get lunch somewhere outside of the place you work…But working at home, I can't even go to the bathroom and the time I'm away it's not valid, so I need to stop and start the tracker. It's literally 8 hours with me sitting in a chair looking at a screen doing data compiling, following strick…

I call it out and say in google review, when I visited such and such grocery store, shop, office I noticed the manager or whoever is in charge treat a worker unprofessionally I noticed that the way they handled whatever situation, was inappropriate and customers like myself could clearly see The most recent one was when I was at a government office. I’ve noticed in the last year at this office, none of the staff in the back were wearing mask while the front staff slave away. I was like ok they’re in their office. But then one manager came out and was berating a staff for doing something wrong. My gosh. Anyway I made note of it and on the google response they told me the manager has a medical exemption with a literal fucking wink face (as if they are winning some epic battle) and they treat their…

The Memphis store where Starbucks fired 7 pro-union workers today is currently closed due to the winter storm power outages in the area, but given they were hiring at this location, it would be a shame if people spammed and shut down Starbucks' job site for this store ​ https://www.google.com/search?q=starbucks+jobs+memphis+tn&rlz=1C1RXQR_enUS967US968&oq=starbucks+jobs+memp&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0i512&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8&ibp=htl;jobs&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=2ahUKEwjhjLzS0fH1AhVgSfEDHWPuB04Qkd0GegQICBAB#fpstate=tldetail&htivrt=jobs&htiq=starbucks+jobs+memphis+tn&htidocid=b-VfLf7S2hMAAAAAAAAAAA%3D%3D&sxsrf=APq-WBtiHSU4kr5vF1wxk075_a9t3xGvKg:1644375915307
