Antiwork

I feel terrible. My self-esteem is in the garbage. Yet, there is this relief. Not having to go back there. I'm so conflicted. They say I can work up to 4 more weeks to give me time to sort something out, but I just can't. It's too embarrassing. Too awkward. Jobs are hard to get here. Can get by more while. The thought of starting over makes me sick. I'm 40 in a few weeks. I have a terrible track record with work. I can't find anything I'm happy doing for more than a few months. I get I'm a problem here, but man doesn't it suck. I've been busting my ass on a side hustle, but god damn it's competitive out there. Like, how do I keep going job to job, career to career for another 25 years? Wait… what am I talking about… I don't own a home…

Obviously no matter the salary, every worker paid with money is in the working class. But when does payment in stock make the employee part of the owner class? Just wondering cuz I work under a low level C suite executive for a small company in a valuable industry.

Hi, I'm a fulltime nightshift worker in Pennsylvania. I currently am working for a non-profit and have been for a little over a year. I accepted the job because they said I would be able to work four nights on and four off, and while admittedly nightshifts are probably horrible for my health that was the least amount of work I could get away with and still get healthcare and rent. Just today my boss who I almost never see and who doesn't understand my position sent an email to me and the three other night shift workers who share my schedule telling us that we will have to work four nights on, three off, which will give me way less time to recover, go for runs, work out, hang with my friends, and all the things I actually enjoy. Now, obviously she can get away with whatever she wants,…

I work factories and like most factories the break room is a several minute walk from my station. 3 minutes each way. Recently had someone ask me why my breaks were 21 minutes. I told them my break starts when I get to the breakroom. We get 2 15 min breaks and a unpaid lunch. They really thought they were going to be able to take 12 mins a day away from me more than an hour a week from my break leaving me with 9 min breaks. I brought up how when I clock out for lunch I have to walk up to the time clock before I clock out and they backed off of me. However I see several coworkers take their 9 min breaks and shovel food down because they only have 9 mins to sit and snack. Sad more people don't put their foot down with…

Main issues i have are with management, half the time i can do my job perfectly fine without them, then they come in and micromanage wasting my time. E.g. i got fired once for saying 'anything else sir?' Instead of 'is that all?' Because it 'encourages the customer to say 'no'. But with the amount of non native english speakers in the metropolis i found people were actually struggling to understand the phrase! Grunt solutions aren't accepted. Also, i dont know how half of them get the job. I'd be better at it than them, but I know they wouldnt hire a kid in university without a degree. Has to be a soulless clueless person who stresses how they don't care about employees and want a target up their ass. I would be such a good manager it enrages me that i have to wait!! Also yeah I'm being dramatic…
