Antiwork

Tl/Dr; Turning over part of your home to your boss rent and utility free may not feel worth it for everyone. We should talk about that I see semi frequent posts against the push from the white house own down for office workers to return to the office full time and wondering whether we are also thinking about the potential consequences and hidden costs to the worker of transitioning to a permanent work from home situation. I don't mean the landlords losing money or whatever, because fuck them, or the lack of interaction with coworkers, which might have social ramifications for sure, I mean the actual financial costs My situation is that they are closing our office and switching us entirely to a work from home position. Which I understand from my employer's perspective, because what we do is largely a “in the field” type job and most of my…

I mean, it frankly seems as if this subreddit is 98% complaining about our current situations. If we dislike our current state then why aren’t we protesting or attempting to protest?

I seriously can't believe this. I worked so hard and I need a new car. Wtf am I even supposed to do

Leads start out at 29.70. When I got the job I was offered 29.70. I was really excited for the job as this is the highest pay I've ever gotten. The guy who was training me was talking about me staying longterm and I asked him how much he made. I was shocked it was 24.00. I asked how much a lead makes and he told me the same rate as me. I was surprised. It turns out higher ups even warned them new hires make more than them. And anyone can look up the payrates for the new hire positions. It's the first thing that popped up on Google. About 80 people were hired at these higher rates. But I got a phone call today asking me to not mention payrates which makes me feel awkward. The company is based on a payscale so its all public. Also weird…

my job that i just started in January is requiring us to come back to the office April 11th. I (22 F) used to work full time as a patient care assistant for 5 years since I was in HS yet (essentially a caregiver) until I got covid December 2020. Shortly after that, I quit that job and got a part time office job as it was too much on me. It was 4 hours a day M-F in office. I’m glad I was even able to do that because my partner makes enough money. My manager there then eventually let me do 2 days at home but I’ll be honest it was still a lot sometimes to go in. I had brain fog while driving already where I had to pull over on the interstate and just cried. I don’t think I can do it. I was so excited…

I started my career in quality at an American company, I went from intern to technician in a few months due to my performance and willingness to go the extra mile. I was the go to person for minor IT issues since I am familiar with that, as well as excel knowledge. Everything was seemingly good, there were those days were a lot of work was needed, some weekends, or high pressure moments but I was adamant about moving my way through. At the beginning the culture was great, my boss actually fought for a raise for me as a technician because she valued me. But then a lot of changes began after moving locations. The leadership changed, and now we had a grumpy old man in charge and I had an inefficient manager on my side. A year became two, two became three, I saw colleagues receive promotions mostly…
