Antiwork

Hey, everyone I just started working in a restaurant a week ago and I can say and feel that the job is not for me, so I’ve been thinking of quitting after 2-3 months or maybe even earlier. Im just worried that it will seem like I’m job hopping since on my last job I only stayed a week because I had full time hours but I was a part time employee, (at the old job) I asked the person who was making the schedule if she could make my hours part time and it also felt like she had something against me even though I haven’t been there long (which was my 2nd reason to leaving) I think I made a brash decision about leaving that company since I actually loved what I was doing there and she told me that if I choose to leave, other company branches…

I am planning to take my PTO and quit. They recently announced a policy where anyone taking PTO has to reply to an email informing everyone of the policy Reply All, a company wide email, saying we are taking PTO. If I request a bunch of random days in the next two weeks, I know some of the nosey people here will figure out that I plan to take all my PTO and quit, given that I had to ask several people to simply confirm how much PTO I had and I am taking that amount. I suspect they will fire me. Yes, this is legal. No, it's not legal to fire me for taking PTO. Yes, it's legal to fire me for any reason they make up that removes that as the reason. Is it illegal to require I tell everyone I am taking PTO? If so, I will…

i’ve been working in this company for one year now and I have absolutely hated my life since. I wake up every morning with depression and anxiety. The moment I walk into the building my heart feels heavy. The only good thing about this job is the pay which is double of average pay where I live. Now my circumstances are: I do not NEED the amount of money that I’m making, I live with my parents and I’ve already bought the things a lady my age probably has not (a car, an apartment for investment). I would not mind getting half of what I’m getting now as long as I know this stress is also going to be half of the stress I am having now as well. I don’t know how I can get out of this situation and decide for myself as I can’t really know the…

I (40F) work in the public sector. My manager (60F) was an insecure, domineering, narcissistic bully who left school at 16. Let’s call her Jo. She is a classic manager who sits in meetings instead of running the service. She has no idea how anything works. My predecessor (F30, let’s call her Nikki) resigned because Jo constantly bullied her about her weight. I am fat and was (obviously) unaware of this when I joined. Everybody else knew though. Nikki made sure everybody in the organisation knew what Jo was like. I am a graduate with a media background. Very overqualified for a minimum-wage, public sector job, but I wanted a trade union, some job-security, and to ‘make a difference’ (disabled children in this case). It’s a nice, varied, creative, techie job though. After four years, my confidence and self-esteem was shredded. I could go a whole week without talking to…

So, I’m a Medicare sales rep. I’ve been working with this horrible company since August and this year I decided to leave them and try getting a job in tech, my dream field. I succeeded, and now I’m a Customer Success Advisor for a start up SaaS company. Both positions are remote. In my original role, I’ve been idle for months. Work has dried up, they kept switching my department, and now I’m doing nothing. Literally nothing. For at least a month now, I clock in everyday, nobody speaks to me, I speak to nobody and they just pay me. This isn’t the first instance of bizarre or disorganized behavior but I’m just blown away. I’m not even going to quit..why bother? So now it’s the first day in my new role, did some HR onboarding in the morning and I’ve been idle for at least 3 hours now. Nobody…

WHY REACH OUT IF YOU DONT WANT TO HIRE ME?? WASTE OF TIME.
