Antiwork

If you of are like me and have just stayed at a job because you were afraid of change, starting over, got too comfortable, had seniority, top of the wage scale, maxed out on salary and you see the writing on the wall things are about to get worse. Starting looking for a new employer or a new career. I been at my company 18 years and in my late 30s. When I first started it was great only a few people, easy work we all got along, a manager who I could bribe with lunch, but always took care of things when asked and learned a lot. Well I’m the last of the 5 that original started. I also have a great part time job that provides benefits having a chronic health condition sucks in the US. Well last 24 months after covid the place has gone to shit.…

Recently anywhere I go that is semi fast food (NOT SIT DOWN) always asks for tips when you get to the payment. I work a at a full service bar and make about $1/hr after tax, so my job completely depends on tips. However, when I go to these places where workers are making $13/$15 an hour I feel guilty for not tipping, but it also feels wrong to tip someone who is making that much hourly. I have also been in a situation where a cashier will get mad or annoyed that I choose to either tip only 15% or none at all when I am aware they are making over $13 /hr. So I guess my question is: how do I approach this new tipping culture as someone who lives only off of tips? It seems hypocritical to not tip, but at the same time these employees are…

Thanks for posting. Since we love to work at Turd Nugget Inc, this would be like someone telling us we must do less of what we love! When it comes to work, some people see it as something they want less of, some people see it as something they would like to have more of, but perhaps can't allow themselves to do more of. We want to build a place that is for people who feel like Monday is really Friday, and that want to be in a place that has that aspiration. All the best, Turd Nuggetson

Okay so… first job, first resignation – getting the F out after 6.5 years. No clue why I'm on this sub when I should be rehearsing my little speech. EDIT: Took a breathe and dived right in. I thought my supervisor would give more of a fu*k than he did. He is the one reason I am leaving. I loved this place, the people I work with and the work itself. My prior supervisor – great lady, very knowledgeable in the field, was a pleasure to work with and for. I would've went above and beyond for her. Unfortunately, she lost her fight versus cancer. She was replaced with this current fool of a supervisor. He gives no clear direction, no feedback, he isn't involved in anything. Not sure why he is a supervisor to begin with. He essentially just said 'ok', 'ok', and 'ok'. However, the heat will be…

Just wanted to post a mini rant here. I am feeling the anti work vibes extra today… while I want to feel valued/needed in my work, and capable of supporting myself, I am tired of the grind. I have it great at my job. Honestly couldn’t get better. But I continue to struggle mentally. I am not free. I have to disassociate to get through the weeks… maybe because none of this is “me”. Or maybe because I am super avoidant of stress. I’m so tired of being anxious over nothing… I’ve explored other interests through classes and internships, but it turns out those interests will put me on the financial struggle bus. I need to muster up motivation to find a new path. Or a new option. This is why most Americans are on anti-depressants I swear. We are stuck trying to keep our heads above water. The outlook…

Going through hiring for the Hilton. Phone reference.they would probably call today or tomorrow. One of my longterm references is no longer available so I'm short one reference. It would need to be someone interested U.S. You would just have to say that I've done handyman work directly for you in your home. Light plumbing, light electrical, tile, whatever. References are dumb nowadays. People move too much, too many jobs offer no future,but you're required to stay in touch with co workers or managers you haven't seen or worked for in 10 years. In large companies it's doubtful they even remember the hourly employees. Anyway, this is a great opportunity for me and I'm stressing that I won't get it due to one reference.
