Antiwork

If we dont like work is the solution to start a tiny business? That way we dont have to work for anyone else, and arent exploiting anyone as we have no employees.

I’m fairly new in the French workplace and I’m on r/AntiTaff, the French counterpart of antiwork. I just learned from a post there how French employers are not supposed to ask the reason behind taking a sick day. Idk if it is illegal but at the very least, it’s seen as transgression of an employee’s right to his personal life and medical secrecy. So, when taking a sick day, you just call in sick. No need to indicate the illness or it’s gravity. Idk, I just find it so different from my having to invent all sorts of diseases.

So, its been about 1.5 month I've been doing internship in a company with other 5 interns and we ended up being good friends. Only 2 interns will be hired by the company as employees and HR said we are not competitive amongst eachother as we are cool with eachother. What do you guys think?

So I work a minimum wage zero hour part time job in the uk. My main job is a musician. This means I request alot of odd days off but usually months in advance to not cause issue. I messaged asking for 2 days off in a month and a half and they said it wasn't possible because 3 or more people booked those days off I'm just curios if employers have the right to deny this stuff with such long notice and the fact that its work related as well. Also the fact that there is no guarantee they'll even put me on that day I just have to leave it open incase. Does anyone in the uk know anything I could do except quitting. This is a pretty nice workplace tbh so I don't wanna do that but ye carrear comes first

Not much to add to the title. Work at a place and a guy that sits near me died in a car accident. The next day they made arrangements for a replacement and to top it off, put the new guy at the desk of the guy who had just died. To make matters worse, the manager accidentally called the new guy by the name of the guy who passed away, I'm sure by sheer habit. I felt so bad and awkward and I know the new guy did as well.

Last week insurance companies announced fully remote workers have to go back to the office. These workers who made ungodly amounts of money for the CEOs who all seemed to have made a golf course deal to make this announcement without any input from the ones doing all the work. The employees proved that work was always completed in timely manners. That they were able to work together even though separated by miles to get complex projects done to perfection. Alot of them taking less money because of the beautiful benefits of remote work. These workers who were told time and time again they will remain remote. These people changed their whole life because of the promise of staying remote. They sold unnecessary second cars. They bought houses in better neighborhoods further away from offices. They had children or brought in family members who needed full time care. All of…
