Antiwork

My friend was on start up probation nearing the end. Boss: “You're not performing as well as your peers. Increase performance or we may have to let you go at the end of your probation” Friend: “I've been here 2 months; they've been here 3-6 years” Boss: “Doesn't matter. Same pay band” So my friend, now with stress of losing his job, figured there was no way he could make the boss happy, so he found a new job. He gave his notice and the boss brought him into a 5pm meeting that went to 7:30 pm (at the office). Boss: “Why you do this? Now I have to train someone new” Friend: “????” I'll share this with him and ask if he wants to make any edits.

They think you are cattle. For fuck’s sake, find your anger.

I worked at a museum for almost a year. Started as their equivalent of a security guard and got trained in other areas (working with school groups, special events, etc.). After a while, I was the go-to lead for special events. When a new job as a “Facility Rental Manager” opened up, I was encouraged to apply. I had previously applied for another position within the museum (one I was more than qualified for) but was denied in favor of bringing in a new face. I applied for the manager job because I was under the impression that it was basically the same as what I was already doing just with full time hours, benefits, and big pay raise. Found out minutes after my “interview” they had already hired a new person from outside the museum for the job. My “interview” was basically just assuring me that they appreciated me…
