Antiwork

This tire shop basically has 3 tiers of workers: Lube tech: do oil changes & tires, other basic stuff Alignment tech: all previous + alignments Mechanic: all previous + brake and suspension work I was hired 7 months ago as a basic lube tech, and for the first 2 months I was just doing oil changes and tires. We had 3 alignment techs at the time. Within the first 2 months, 2 of them were transferred to other stores, leaving only 1 left. One day, she was busy doing some not-alignment thing, and everyone was rushing her because a customer was in queue for an alignment and getting impatient (as customers do). So I made the mistake of stepping in and doing it myself. I had no idea what I was doing, but the alignment tech was being attacked from all angles and I figured I'd help her out. I…

The owner of my company has a policy of making sure the grass isn't greener on the other side by making it as green as possible here. (Those are his words) He pays them the most in our industry, refuses to fire anyone unless he absolutely has to, and provides all sorts of benefits and perks to the employees. As a result, our company is doing very well. We made $12 Million in revenue last year, and just recently broke $12M for this year already. If anyone would like to fact check, DM me and I will tell you the company I work for. The reason I post this is for any managers or owners lerking here. Treating your employees like shit is bad business practice. Edit: Because I was asked, we do allow work from home. It's not preferred as our work requires us to physically be there. However…

This may no belong here, I really need to vent. I work at a nursing home. It is hard work My husband teaches, it's crazy. I listen everyday to coworkers who go on vacations, sometimes more than one a year. (I work in physical therapy). I just get so tired of listening to it. I'm glad for my coworkers. I am glad that they get good things in life they deserve it. I just wonder when mine will come along. I'm always hit with someday, someday. I know that some of my coworkers are probably in debt up to their eyeballs too but I have a lot of debt myself. Doesn't make me feel better. I once had a coworker suggest that I take out a credit card and use the entire thing for a trip to Europe. He said if you wait to save up you will never go.…

Why is it that hardly anybody names the shitty company they are working for? It would give the rest of the denizens of this group a heads up about what companies to look out for.

I'm super frustrated I had to leave my job because I'm pregnant. I worked at a grooming salon and all the smells were making me extremely sick. I asked to work on the floor or part time and they refused. I've been jobless since 6/10 and I'm barely scrapping by. Im so frustrated no one wants to hire me but they tell me I'm doing great during my interviews. I just want to give up and cry

I'm curious what everyone's thoughts are on this but I've been kind of toying with a theory that we're gurrently on a generational plan to ensure that America does become a nation of renters. Thinking back Powell's Federal reserve hiking interest rates was meant to “discipline labor” and “reduce inflation” by basically inflicting pain upon the most vulnerable. We see this pushing borrowing regional banks and businesses to fail creating a smoke screen to hide the corporate price gouging making up the majority of this so called inflation. Home prices which have remained historically high and not dropped to any significant degree. Thus rapidly becoming unreachable by the general public not only due to high price but also the crushing interest rates; leading to tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars further pushing single family buyers out of the market. Now we're seeing capital investment firms buying up housing…

EDIT: I made the mistake of posting a screenshot, so I'm correcting it. This is what I wrote for our company's award survey submission: “I do not believe this company should win this award again; in fact, PSBJ should know that each year, we are guilted and pressured into voting well so our team wins consecutively. I have lived in fear of losing my job and being isolated and retaliated against if I don't speak highly about this company, but by living this way with all the lies and tip-toeing around, it has led to a lot of physical and mental health issues that I may never be able to heal from. Let it be known that my immediate colleagues are phenomenal humans and it goes against my values by not standing up for them, as they do not deserve the treatment they receive daily from leadership behind closed doors.…

I applied for a remote job at the end of May. Yesterday I got a message through indeed from their “talent acquisition” saying: “Thank you for applying for our onsite CSR position. If you'd like to schedule an interview, please reach out immediately.” So I message back: “I applied for the remote customer service position. No where on the job listing did it mention this role was on site, I am curious as to why it's now being communicated that this is in fact an on-site position.” Then a RECRUITER messages stating to please give him a call to discuss the role. Im not interested in discussing the role. Don't put something as remote and then message stating it's in person. It's been a constant state of bait and switch when it comes to postings on any site. Frustration doesn't even begin to cover how I've been feeling with looking…
