Antiwork

Is that entry level employees think their direct boss is the enemy.

Mind you, I'm actually quite happy with my job, and my manager happens to be the sweetest person on Earth. But I was speaking to her recently about how these KPIs seem to change to get harder and harder as my team is very efficient and good. I told her that this makes no sense to me, as the job is the same, and the fact that we're being so good should make us just top performers, not become mediocre ones by making KPIs harder every time. Her reply left me feeling a bit uneasy, she basically said that although he agrees, the way the top managers see it is that if everyone is doing so good with a KPI, then that means that KPI doesn't work. So then I said “Oh, so they need some of us to be bad at it, because if everyone is good at it…

Hi Reddit, M, 20 years old, living in France. As per the title asks : is there any way for me to find an easy, not too stressful online job that wouldn't require me to work full time, taking into consideration I have basically zero skills ? I don't even need a lot of money, 400€/430$ per month would be more than enough for me to live. I know I'm basically asking for the Graal, and that I am going to get laughed at, but I'm just so desperate. I speak fluently English and French, can understand Spanish but can't really speak it or write in it. I have a degree in library sciences (with some knowledge of archives). I used to take art commissions to get some money, but stopped drawing a while ago, and I'm just really bad at it. Hobbies include bread-making, raising chickens and goats, hiking,…

Feels like some kinda op lmao, all of a sudden there’s post after post of how good their managers are on an anti work sub. Just a bit odd

I filled out the volunteer application form to work for prayer line volunteer. The prayer line manager reached out to my last employer to get the reference. My former supervisor then “urgently” requested me to make sure I do not create a situation where third parties contact her to ask for reference as she found it “troubling.” She specifically worded it as the following: Please refrain from giving out my name or email. I filed a complaint with EEOC for wrongful termination due to possible discrimination. Now with such a request, I am afraid it would be percieved as a harrassment if I apply to jobs/volunteer organizations (as they may contact her for reference). When I explained the situation to a few employers this week, their response was -if your application is incomplete (empty work history and reference section, we can’t consider you for the position.) I wish if I…

Switching from private care to working a facility SUCKS. My mom was an at home care giver who worked privately, she was disabled herself so she can’t work most normal jobs, however, the type of care giving my family provides is usually either emotional or end of life care. We wouldn’t be changing clients or showering them ((seldom at least)) and most of it was driving clients to and from places, helping with medications and picking them up, laundry, grabbing them food, etc. It was more like a personal assistant. My mom and me both decided to do it together and I would often tag along to help and our clients always enjoyed having someone younger around. I decided going into care giving at an assisted living facility would be great! It was a perfect fit for me! Wrong. I asked for PM, fuck even morning. I got night shift.…

I just wanted to point out how fresh and good it feels to come on this sub to not only see the bad sides of work but also nice and respectful bosses, respecting schedules, boundaries and the likes.
