Antiwork

I will try to keep it brief. I am a contracts manager for a medical device company working remotely for about $80/k per year. Sometimes, if I’m burnt out from work, I’ll just take a day without requesting time off, expectations are low because I’ve always been underperforming, and I HATE my job. I take stimulants now to help push out the mundane paper work and all I hear is lawyers talk all day about things I can care less about. On the other side, my husband is active duty military and we have a toddler so the job offers me flexibility with my lifestyle. Every time I mention quitting to someone, they look at my like I’m insane but I have ZERO desire to work. Should I stick it out for the economy and ride it out until the wheels fall off? Thanks for reading!

Or variations of it like “why do you want to work in this company” or “what about this job interests you?” I am so sick of this question now after having dealt with multiple interviews. I work a dead end job but once had a dream career I wanted to be in which I realize now is not going to happen. I applied for an office admin role for a law firm and I answered honestly that I was curious about law, since my previous role was in a medical centre. The interviewer gave me shit and asked why I applied “when you're interested and not passionate for it”. Wouldn't someone working for you who is passionate about law wanna be…a lawyer? Or a paralegal at least? I am sick of having to pretend like I want to work in some garbage industry which is outside of my interests when…

At his jobsite the workers have to park their cars in an area full of mud and rocks, not real parking. Today there was a large forklift driving fast right through this area kicking up debris. When my boyfriend returned to his car he found a huge crack on his sheild, most certainly due to the forklift. In order for him to make enough money he also drives Lyft on weekends but now he won't be able to. Because we are in the middle of moving apartments we don't have enough to replace the windshield. We are living paycheck to paycheck. His job is saying if no one saw what happened to the car they can't give him the money to replace it. The situation is really frustrating. Is there anything we can do? We are in Colorado.

Not an active Redditor, so if I posted this to the wrong subreddit, my bad. Title. Not an attempt at a vent post, but moreso looking for a bit of advice or assurance. Feel free to remove if I made this a bit too personal. Tl;dr: Dropped out, no experience, no college plans, can't even imagine working more than 5 hours or working at all. Is there a way to avoid falling into any capitalist traps or scams? Any benefits I can get things out of, without a 9-5, 5 day work week? Or even not working at all? I'm (18m) an a highschool dropout from 14 due to the pandemic and highschool being more of a struggle than I had ever thought, and I've never worked a day in my life and have Zero experience simply because I'm too young and scared. I definitely would not be able to…

Square will not help. How can I address this if the amount is less that 75$? Employer is nuts so asking will not help

I just recently about two months ago now became a body technician apprentice for a company. I did an interview stipulated that I wanted to get out of retail and actually pursue a career that had more feasibility in future. And after the interview a couple days later I was happily told I have the job. In the interview they did not require experience and I told them before that I had only successfully changed my tires once. So I come in trying to learn everything I can about how to take off any bolted on piece of a car. The reason i'm hesitant to continue this job and relationship with them is my mentor i'm apprenticing under went on an insulting tiraid. Some more context, I'm trying to take off the rocker panel or sideskurt of a Dodge Challenger. So that I can get the dented front right fender…

I wrote this because of the very problematic history with tipping origins in western culture, and the ongoing issues with customers biases influencing employee wages. In addition, it prevents exploitive practice by employers who hire tipped workers, but then have them complete tasks for which are not tipped. This act is intended to make compensation equitable to employees and prevent exploitation of employees who currently worked tipped jobs. ​ ​ AN ACT Relating to labor; amending the Idaho Code to prohibit solicitation of tipping, raising the minimum wage for all tipped employees, including delivery service employees, and providing a commission for employees who qualify as tipped employees under federal law; providing penalties for violations; and providing an effective date. Be It Enacted by the Legislature of the State of Idaho: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. This act shall be known and may be cited as the “Empowering Service and Delivery Workers…

I’m coming up on 1 year at a job at a media organization (in a content creation role) and I think about quitting every day. I work 8 hr per day and every single minute of my shift is mapped out to maximize my productivity. The amount of content they want us producing has doubled since I started and it’s left me feeling like a mindless content-producing robot. I have zero joy in my day but I’m hesitant to quit because I’m afraid to lose the healthcare. Not sure whether it’s worth sticking it out or not, but I’m leaning in the direction of quitting because I’m beginning to show some physiological signs of stress/burnout (hands shaking, eye twitch, brain fog), not to mention feeling pretty depressed most of the time. Is this just the reality of working in media?

I have been an RN for going on 31 years and like so many, I absolutely hate my job. I remember thinking over thirty years ago what a fucked up societal plan it is to work almost the entirety of your adult life, giving up the best years of your life for a job that most people genuinely dislike. Yes, I’m grateful for all that I do have, but for all those years of toil, what do I have; an 11 year old vehicle, a bike, some money (not a lot), IRAs/401K (modest amounts)a few vacations, misc electronics and clothing. I gave up so many years of my life for a career that I was passionless about and that stole my soul. Going to work when my knees and back hurt, missing out on so many beautiful, sunny days…. My body is tired, my spirit is tired and I desperately…
