Antiwork

Anyone else work a job where they constantly ask for more out of you for the same pay? Funny (I mean stupid more than funny) is how the 'more' they want takes you away from your actual job description.You know, like the ways you can actively increase your pay or meet/exceed the expectations you're graded on. Why can't we just be doing the things that are actually on our performance reviews? Like how do they rationalize the extra that means we end up with less for our efforts? I need a bonus category on my review that's titled: Bonus (50% Weighting) – Did you do all the extra Bull Shit we made you do that isn't in your job description, but was required to avoid being written up or noted as “not a team player”? Yes? Ok, here's a 50% increase to your scoring to even out for all the…

aaaand of course he complained about my work ethic today and acted pissed off with me the whole day. He also complained to my manager that the guy who got him sick “didnt tell him he had covid” yet y’all come to work and get me sick anyway???

Hello and thank you to all who take the time to read this and offer suggestions. I work in sales for a company in California. After a couple months of working here, last minute payroll issues became the norm (“direct deposit is down”, “bank issues”, “returned check due to insufficient funds”). I get payed commission and gas reimbursement. Two weeks ago, my paycheck was returned due to insufficient funds. I emailed the company to ask for a replacement check and reimbursement for this major inconvenience. I received an apologetic response of basically (paraphrased), “Sorry for the inconvenience, we don’t have the means to pay you currently and are working with our bank. We will let you know when we have settled up with them. If you want anything more than the paycheck we owe you, send us screenshots of overdraft fees. Thanks.” There are other obvious red flags indicating that…

Just realized that if a lot of companies were people, that we would call them narcissists. -It's all about them. -Their rules, always. -If things aren't working out, it's your fault. -You should be honored to work for them. -You'll never find better. I already knew these facts, just never applied the term to a non-human before.

Do I have the right to discuss my (ex)coworkers wages without their knowledge? I recently was promoted to assistant manager at my restaurant and on occasion I will be asked to work a shift where I only clock in as manager for the first two hours, then I have to switch to “head server”, which cuts the pay in more than half, until the next manager gets there at 4pm. Snooping in the computer I found out that the old assistant manager we’ll call Dave who was fired was paid the full assistant manager wages. Me and my coworker who is also an assistant manager, and in the same situation as I, found out what Dave was paid. It’s more than what we get right now, and also that Dave was allowed to stay clocked in as a manager for his whole shift. My question is am I technically allowed…

So I've been working in hospitality for a couple months now and it's my first ever job that pays my rent. I think I'm doing good work and I basically “maxed out” on my possible raises. Now, even employees that work there years longer than me are making less than 5% more than me. So if I won't be rewarded for working there longer and I'm not being rewarded for excelling at my job, BUT we have enough money to open another shop….that basically means all the money goes into my bosses pocket / or “the company” is the only one profiting from this…right ?

Hey all, Allegedly over the weekend a coworker at my place of employment got into an altercation which led to someone being hospitalized. I happened to speak with the detective when he came by yesterday because I was the only person outside the office. He then spoke with my managers to explain the situation. I found put from one of my managers that they (management) has not informed my coworker of the situation. Apparently HR has to investigate first. Based on my brief interaction with my co-worker today, he appears to be completely unaware that he is being investigated by the homicide department (the victim is still in critical condition). I feel like I should tell my coworker what's going on so that he can get a lawyer and prepare for the shitstorm that's coming his way. I've been instructed by management to say nothing to anyone including my coworker.…

i'm lucky and when compared to most i really should not complain but, the prospect of 20 more years of this makes me sad and i don't think i can do it. i work from home (chill dev job), my kids are in school, i live with family so cheap rent and even then i don't want to log in anymore. worse still i have over 100k+ in investments/savings, it just feels like i work to add money to the pile and nothing more, yet its not enough to retire or anything like that. i just don't feel alive anymore i just feel like life is waking up to wait for others to tell you what you should be doing and im not free. i serve my boss, my family (all theirs crazy ideas i gotta figure out), my kids (well they are young 5 and 8 so makes sense),…
