Antiwork

I have been working for less than 6 months for this small company (~30 employees). Just a few of them worked here for some years and all of us are so different and although the atmosphere here is ok there is no “family business/ we all love each other” kind of atmosphere here. In this context someone from the management just emailed everybody, twice, letting us know that he is collecting money to buy a present for the CEO. I am crazy for thinking that this is not ok?! I don't think this is corporate corruption but it doesn't seem ethical. Don't get me wrong, it is acceptable if you are an old employee and you have a special relationship with your boss to offer him a present. Of course you should do this in private since you are so close. But for a manager to ask me (ask not…

I'm a truck driver. I make deliveries all over new england for remediation projects (mold, asbestos construction etc etc). I'm very busy. Only driver at this warehouse.

Discovered this sub recently and thought this would fit here. I accepted this bank job 4 months ago, I was told how it would be a great opportunity and I ate it all up. 4 months later and it's just been hell. I dread waking up to go in the morning, some days I just kinda lay on the floor contemplating until I eventually go in 20 mins late. I've also had a history of mental health problems but I think this job has made them even worse. I recently got diagnosed with severe depression and psychosis and will need to be on medication for a while. I wanna call in sick or something some days but I work with someone and I know if I'm not there everything will pile up on him because management really doesn't give a fuck. I already see how much he cracks under the…
