Antiwork

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),…

I'm a month into a new role, where I manage a team, including other managers. It seems highly unusual that I can't see the salary of my direct reports, or the salary bands for the roles that are fall under my reporting organization. I asked one of my direct reports about it, who is also a manager, and they confirmed that's how it is. I'm not lacking any permissions in the HR system. We unfortunately, aren't in a jurisdiction that has salary transparency laws (yet). These are gradually getting phased in over the next two years. How can I as a manager do my job when I have no visibility into whether my team is being compensated fairly? This is a privately held, non unionized company in Canada. I'm surprised at how much control HR has, and to be honest, in my decade as a manager, I've never had this…

Okay so this isn’t the biggest win and honestly in the grand scheme it’s really nothing, BUT my former employees are at least benefitting from this. So I moved to California in November of last year and came to work for a law firm (at an abysmally low rate) just to have something to make money here. Well it was terrible. Toxic work environment, ridiculous expectations and lack of communication, unless it’s passive aggressive comments, and again, shit pay. One thing they didn’t have that I’ve never experienced is a coffee machine in the break room. They had one in the conference room but it wasn’t for us plebs to use. So I quit a week or so ago and in addition to giving feedback regarding the pay, environment, and work expectations, I also said that they need to get a coffee maker. I said it’s ridiculous that they don’t…
