Antiwork

I work as a night security guard for a company in Ak. since I have started I have had to work overtime due to not being releived from my post on time. I have not been paid for any of this overtime yet if I where to abandon my post and go home without my relief I would be fired instantly. On top of that I was recently late to work. With over an hour of notice that I would be late due to unexpected issues. I was contacted by my employer the next day and was told that it was unacceptable for me to be late for work and it cost the company money if I'm not there for the scheduled time. I'm pretty irritated with my employer and feel threatened for my job but can't afford not to work so I feel like I'm stuck in a shit…

Everytime I read the term “slavery” for people sitting on a desk, working 40hrs a week in exchange for $50k, I roll my eyes almost as hard as when right-wingers refer to the low birth rate of white people as “white genocide”. No, working a office job is not slavery and demographic change is not genocide. I am sorry, you aren't as oppressed as black slaves in the 18th century just as white people aren't as oppressed as Jews during the Holocaust.

I mean this in a personal sense. Like, an antiwork lifestyle you can get to in your lifetime. Mine is slightly depressing. I’m already in more student debt than a humanities major could hope to pay off, so I plan to just double down and try to get into a funded grad school program where university professors will exploit me, but at least I’ll be in range of something I actually care about. I also bartend, so I’m really hoping for that magical 6 years of teaching literature, doing research, and Bartending twice a week.

So I work for an alarm company. If I don't give referral codes to our customers they'll fire me(if we don't give these codes to 10% of our customers I get fired). By offer A referral code I mean hey “if you know someone who wants to install our system here a code” The customers hate it and they give pretty upset when we try to sell them. What options do I have? I need to pay my bills but they say I lose my job if I don't give referral code to our customers. So what do I do? Why do I have to get yelled at and disrespected by customers to keep my job? ​ Virtually every manager is progressive. Should I call them out publicly by name for firing working class employees for not selling enough for Vivint? So do I out Michelle and Thomas or do…

Hello! I apologize if this question doesn't really belong here, but I don't know where else to ask. I had a discussion about this with another coworker and I feel like there may be some nuance that I don't understand and would like to ask a larger community (reddit) to help shed some light on this for me. ​ I work for an escape room company that has a mission statement, vision, and list of values that every single employee must not only memorize and be able to recite, but abide by and follow or else we will be written up. 2-3 write ups is immediate termination. One of these values is our “Integrity” value, which states “We endeavor to honor God through hard work, honesty, fairness, and generosity.” ​ Now, if I don't believe in God/have denounced God/etc, this value will be extremely hard to uphold. It's not that…
