Antiwork

I work for a family-owned business Last year, the owner, Leo passed away of cancer. The place was booming when he was still here but now his nephew was taking over and the place has gone to trash The nephew was here maybe an hour a week tops goes on vacation like four times a year The customers are tired of never having a manager to talk to, never having menu items, the urinal in the men's room overflows into the floor so the men's room always smells like piss The non-existent manager says he's focusing on moving to the new location and keep talking about how we're moving so but we've been “moving soon” for about 3 years I was in the new building maybe two or three months ago and literally nothing is done Meanwhile this building continues to fall apart This is disappointing because he took what…

I’m aggressively pursuing a new job because I hate my current job/boss/everything. I am salaried with an “unlimited PTO” policy. I’d like to overlap the new job with the old one as much as possible so as to not interrupt my health care coverage, and potentially make a little extra money. How do I go about this? Just call in sick till they fire me? FWIW I don’t care about employment history or anything like that, I’m finishing a degree in biochemistry and moving away from the industry entirely.

Interviewed at an ABA place and the owner informed me I would have to pay for my own $80 background check before I could start working at MINIMUM WAGE. Then they dropped $100 on a class that can be found online (accredited) for free. Maybe I’m the asshole but I personally think you should run a background check on any potential childcare employees BEFORE you let them tour the building full of children. Also Karen, unprofessionalism is forgetting to write down our first interview date. Unprofessionalism is not showing up to the interview you’re conducting. But pop off.

Title says it all. Any advice on how to word a response would be appreciated. Serious only please.

I've noticed that I manage to complete my tasks at an efficient rate. But I've spoken to a couple of people, and they've all discouraged me, because it could get me in trouble, even though I'm doing the job right and getting things done. How can this pose a problem?

TL;DR my life is rapidly crumbling all around me, and i have no hope for a future. I’ve been working in retail for almost a decade now, 7 years total, and i’ve finally hit a wall. Though this wall i’ve hit isn’t what i was expecting. for context i’m 26 and i was recently diagnosed late in life with Autism, or Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). And on top of that, i was also diagnosed with PTSD. This wall i’ve hit is no joke, i’ve been experiencing autistic work burnout for almost a year now. It started at my last job, and now it’s carried to my current job. Along with that i’ve been having intense panic attacks about work, attacks so paralyzing that i’ve been missing large chunks of work. My current job, i enjoy it but my managers haven’t been the most helpful while i’ve been seeking diagnosis and…

This could include complaints about being able to realistically achieve one’s goals, issues with pay and more.

I work for a big non-profit hospital with terrible PTO (less than 2 weeks including sick time and vacation) and benefits. Just saw the CEO’s compensation on the 990 forms for the past few years and was gobsmacked. Looking at rough estimates from indeed, this hospital’s medical assistants’ rough annual salary is ~41,600… Between 2018-2021 the base compensation for the CEO grew from 1.4-1.6 million dollars. However, the total compensation, including retirement and so on, fluctuated significantly, with the lowest being 1.7 million and the highest year being 7.6 million. Looking at the form more closely, the biggest factor in that fluctuation was the “Bonuses and incentives” column, with the lowest year’s bonus and incentive amount at 38,000, and the highest being 5.5+ million $. Can someone speak to what the hell these bonus and incentives are? Is this money that the CEO would actually take home? What does taxing…

Do you also believe that for most of the companies you are just a row in an excel sheet and higher ups can anyday delete that row (layoff) without considering how it will impact the employee's life. Loyalty is overrated these days .

Well, it happened. Almost 6 months ago I took a new job as finance in a dealer. Today I submitted my commission sheet for last month and the owner told me he wants to discuss my pay. I thought it was gonna be “Hey man, you’re doing good. Let’s raise your %” but instead I got the “last month wasnt that well for the dealer as a whole, you did good but we might have to change your structure” I do everything here. Sales and finance. Changed the way we advertise, lowered the overhead by almost 8% in my short time here. Not ONE deal has been returned. Everything funded within 72 hours, even on weekends. Our other guy quit almost 2 months ago so I’ve been working every single deal and now the owner expects me to pick up tag and title portions, service complaints and more without an…
