Antiwork

By reading what I’m about to write, I’m sure I sound like I know the answer. In the very beginning of this year I got a job as a front desk associate at a small hotel. The perks is it was closeby, relatively quiet, and more or less I got along with the people working there. But soon after I got the job, the manager left and the owner over the building was calling the shots for a while. We started getting calls asking if we were turning into a homeless shelter or not. I wasn’t notified. Soon it made the paper that our hotel wasn’t going to be a hotel anymore. Basically the staff were the last to know and it was confirmed very late in the game. The owner never gave us a direct answer when we asked, So now people from the state are running the show…

I have been trying to get out of Retail while pursuing an engineering degree. Today marks the fifth job I have been offered over $30 an hour if just drop out school and work for them full-time. I have the skill to do some trade work, but I want to be an engineer. Why the **** can't I just work 25-35 hours a week. I don't get the 40-60 hour required work weeks, why not let a part timer in. I want to work and build more skill, but still go to school. Retail doesn't build any more skill than I already have, and the pay is lacking. This is so frustrating.

Sorry if it’s not allowed to ask question here, but I have been working 2/5 days from home and it’s one of the best things that has happened to me. I was able to spend so much more time with my cat who was my only emotional support during early Covid. I am this close to renegotiate terms with management by offering to lower my salary so I can work hybrid. Should I go through with it?

I've been at this company for 6 years. This is not the first time I've had issues with my employer. It's a long list but a few note worthy incidences are, being told I need to sacrifice my personal time to get my job done, not being reimbursed for certain company payments i fronted the original bill, and nothing being done about my personal property being stolen from a company vehicle. Onto today's issue. I work for a small company that employs less than a dozen people. Recently my boss has taken on a workload that is impractical for a company as small as ours to complete in a timely manor. 2 people have been working on the project for a week. The original scope of the work was supposed to be 3 weeks for the 1st phase to be completed. The deadline for this has been pushed up to…

I am just sick of making 15 an hour. I have been working for nearly 10 years now. 9 of those years was for another company that I should have left a long time ago, but my younger naive self was happy to get paid. Now that I am older and accepting another job at 15 an hour because I spent a whole year looking for a job that paid more and got nothing. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I have plenty of office experience, customer service experience and other skills. I feel that I should AT LEAST be making 20 an hour. Heck people even want 20 an hour to be the new standard so what gives? I don't feel that I am old yet I am under 30. Yet when I apply to jobs offering 15 an hour I get hired almost instantly. I know…

I don't have an issue with working I guess but I feel miserable trying to keep up with the demands of bigger people than me, my body hurts. The only thing I really wanna do is live off grid and grow my own crops and just be free from the artificial construct that we've trapped ourselves into. Agree or disagree I just don't want to be stuck working like my life depends on it until I'm 80. Anyone else share the same thoughts or similar

New job offer, asked me to do a background check. Cool. Why does the background check require me to enter SEVEN years' worth of address history and my parent's information? Not for $15/hr, bye.
