Antiwork

So I began this job not long ago in a certain road construction field and recently we’ve been having extreme heat, over 40 degrees celsius with humidity and I had to do a 13 hour shift, standing in the sun without shade. Another employee came to replace me for 30 minutes in the morning so I could cool off a bit, which was nice. Three hours passed and I mentioned I was gonna need a small break from the sun soon, and despite drinking lots of water and eating I was getting pretty weak from the heat but no one was available to take my place. It was around 1 pm, when the temperature was starting to peak. I had to ask again and only then did someone show up (not even from the same company) cause at this point I felt like I was about to pass out.. only…

So, ever since the first day I walked in and met the guy, he's been condescending, belittling, talks down to me, makes me the butt of these little quips or jokes (that feel fairly mean-spirited), so from the beginning, this guy has made me feel like shit and seemed to be doing it on purpose. I work security, and we've recently gone from unarmed to armed (under some sketchy circumstances and procedures), and the day I passed my firing qualification, I asked for clarification (so I don't show up to work with a GUN when I shouldn't have it, or that I don't have it when I should) on when we start carrying, he loses his shit, accuses me of not reading the emails or message board at work (I make a point to do both, my memory is just imperfect) and threatened my job, all because I asked one…

I've been working as an overnight janitor at a hotel for the last six months and it's been a drain, physically and mentally. It would have been more bearable if my boss was not a passive agressive asshat who only communicated with me when they had something to complain about. She never made her demands clear and would prefer passing down orders indirectly, via people who were very bad at communicating it. After tonight, I'm done. I am not capable of forcing myself to carry one more trashbag or cpean an inch of the floor for a bunch of assholes who don't appreciate me. I left my boss a short and sweet text: “I quit, good luck”

Serious question, I get recommended this subreddit a lot but I never understood the idea behind it. I understand if someone would be the idea of working to barely be able to survive, I'm not a fan myself either, but what is the alternative exactly according to you? Is it a political/economical no movement that you wanna change the system or society? Or is it a personal movement like FIRE movement (financial independence retire early)? Any help would be appreciated.

Basically, title. Last Friday, the unemployment office called me asking for info on why I was fired (it was due to a poor choice of words, there was no conduct policy). I explained to the state exactly what transpired. Long and short, I said something stupid, and 3 days later after calling this coworker out for being checked out on the clock he decided he was offended by what I said. When my manager called me that Sunday to tell me I was 86ed, I begged for a chance to come in and explain myself. I was able to do that, and I walked away from that meeting feeling like I’d be getting my job back. The next day, I received an email with my termination of insurance. No one ever officially told me that I was fired I only received the forwarded email about termination of insurance. When I…

Boss asks me if I'm coming in Saturday and Sunday like they weren't the ones who tagged mandatory on the front of them. Feels like forcing employees to work more than full time should be considered illegal to me, but I want to hear other's thoughts on it.

They say that we're “in the contract” to keep our jobs with the new owners but I have my doubts. I understand the wanting to sell. I'm incredibly hurt that they would lie multiple times when asked and keep it a secret. I stupidly thought we were actually friends, that's why I worked so incredibly hard for so long.
