It must be mandatory to show worker’s salary perspective before even the interviews.

Idk, it sounds so obvious because money is almost the only reason one wants to get a job, but oftentimes they hide it til the end.

To show that they really care, these hospital “C-suite” executives decided to give their “frontline heroes” a product sample of skin wipes and their autographs.

Got myself and a coworker a raise

I have been a casual for about 4 months for a company, they wanted me to get a higher license (heavy rigid). So I got it, as did my co worker and then started truck driving for them and they continued to pay me a labourer’s wage for 6 weeks. So I told them I won’t be driving trucks until they back paid me and bumped up my pay accordingly. Which came to a head in a meeting today where they agreed to bump me and my co worker and offered a full time position. Thank to anti work for giving me the confidence to challenge the system. Apologies for my poor grammar and punctuation and poor sentence structure.

Sadly, the Antiwork community will continue to share sob stories with one another; while doing nothing to actually reform/amend laws or enrich communities/their lives.

Since you’ve joined antiwork has anything changed for you? Has life gotten better? Or have you stayed a part of the status quo? Has your ritual just become checking antiwork without actually spending the time productively? May sound harsh, but it’s the truth.

I have had an epiphany, I believe. Please show me otherwise, or just argue.

Do you believe in Inflation? The word harbors negative connotations. Economies grow because of population. At the same time, I have always believed in a steady raise. If you’ve been working there so long, it should be more beneficial for you. Seniority rank, or similar themes, right? That’s… Inflation. If a cheeseburger becomes more pricey because of its ever growing audience & taste, that too is… Inflation. To really antiwork, I believe is to accept a sum: a livable sum. No raise, but a cap you find more than adequate, if not at least. “Going to Italy this year?“ “No, but maybe next.” I have left the service industry after over a decade of sweat. People still tell me, literally every conversation, “ OH There’s some GOOD money to be made there!” Then fuck you!!! Why are you my Lyft driver? You said you side hustle this & DJ with…

Employer keeps shorting my checks.

I’m not too sure where to start or what my options are but I’ve only been with my current employer a few months now and almost half my checks have been short in one way or another. I’ve had deductions that don’t apply to me be added, not getting my shift differential, and whole shifts being left off. I initially understood a few minutes because our punch in system is bad, but I now openly track and communicate my hours before they are posted and I’m still short. What action can I take?

Internal interview with a giant company and ended up being BELITTLED and DISCRIMINATED

Had been waiting for 6 months to a year for a position to open in the company. After lots of waiting, they finally asked me to speak to them with regards of offering me the new position. When I came to the room , the first question that was asked is how many sick days I took in 2020? I said 2 days and he really started going mental ,shouting and belittling me saying that I am not dependable. After working my ass off for a company for over 2 years , that was really disrespectful. He asked me for 2021 which I said was about 4-5 days and he started swearing in front of me . He kept questioning my honesty regarding my sick days and stated that he didn't have one sick day in 16 years, like that is something to be proud of. In Europe, and my…

R U be a good slave?

Does company asking you do a self-evaluation equal the question “are you be a good slave recently?” then you have to say, “yes master, I work so hard for you, and please give me more food to survive and I will sacrifice my time, my health, my dignity, my liberty to help you make more money.”
