Antiwork

I honestly have no idea where to post this, but this seems like a sub full of people that are frustrated by the corporate status quo, so I think this is a good place to start. Basically, during the pandemic we all shifted to nearly universal remote work. Many employers are working hard to claw back those policies and get people in corporate offices. Let me skip the whole pro/con of remote work conversation, skip any data, skip any benefit to either side, and simply say this: I believe if it’s possible to do a job remotely, we should be empowered to make the decision to be in office or not. So, if we can agree that this is worth fighting for, here’s what I propose. Let’s find a date on the calendar. Let’s rile up as many people as we can throughout the country (as I’m US based, and…

Sitting here during my break looking out the window and seeing the complete disaster of a snow storm that’s falling down outside (10 inches of snow) thinking about all the people that are going to be forced to drive to and from work in it then thinking about all the people that have died trying to make it to work because it was either come into work or get written up and potentially lose your job. If that’s the case, I think it should be the employers responsibility to pay for the funeral of the people that risked their lives coming into work in these conditions and not making it, it’s only fair since I already told you I don’t feel comfortable driving yet you’re forcing me to come in. I hate thinking that people die for these companies just for the companies to say “oh well sorry 🤷‍️ good…

I work in care work, caring for the elderly in their homes. The company I have been working for was hiring causal only but told me that they had so much need for workers that I would definitely get full time hours. This was a lie lol, I never got a shift longer than three hours and never got more than 10 hours a week. It took me a while to find another job but luckily my parents were able to help. Because I got another job I needed weekends free, so I left them a message telling them that unfortunately I would have to stop working on weekends immediately, which I know is difficult on their end, but they took away my shifts last minute sometimes. In any case I checked and they just took away all my shifts, which would be ok but I still wanted to keep…

Or more like in 4 hours. Honestly don't care if it's a bad financial decision, I can feel myself going nowhere and my anxiety keeps me up all night before another dreadful work day. I drive way too much, have to put up with shit office staff who don't even understand what I do, and policy changes that keep me on my toes every week. My schedule gets changed on a near daily basis, no doubt because people are calling out for the same reasons I'm about to quit for. I just went from a 7 to 4 day work week as well, which sounds great. In reality it made me realize how much I dread this job when I have even a moment to think about how shitty it is. The only reason they put me on 4 days a week is because “I'm one of their top 5,…
