Antiwork

So I work as a pharmacist overnights. I've been working for a few years with a 7 on/7 off schedule where I work for an 11 hour shift. Meaning 11 hour shift for 7 straight nights and then I am completely off from work for the next 7 nights. Now, we are being told that our shift will be changed to an 8 hour shift and because of this, we have to work 4 days a week and every other weekend. So instead of being paid for 10.5 hours per shift, now it's 7.5 hours per shift and because of that, I will have to work 10 nights in a 2 week period instead of 7 nights, and I cannot work more than 5 nights in a row. Because of this, I will never have more than 2 straight nights off. Makes it impossible to readjust to a daytime lifestyle…

Idk if its allowed here but God I need to tell yall. Leave your jobs! They don't care about you. Title says it all. I lived on site where I worked. All my coworkers and even strangers had full access to it, I frequently had randoms show up. I was facing some progressively worse sexusl harassment at work. I told my boss and nothing happened. Turns out she forgot. It then got worse, he went from commenting about my body being the perfect size and weight to asking coworkers if I made porn or had diy shoots. He was making these comments directly ro me when I was in a car with him, doing rural work 80km fork help and no radio or data signal. (This is after we found hundreds of history results for Japanese porn on the work computers. The boss only laughed this off and sent an…

Just wondering if anyone else struggles with undoing the decades of capitalism that's pushed down our throats since childhood – must get good grades, must get a “good” job, must earn money for more more more stuff, must build up a pension pot, must pay down HUGE mortgage etc. I'm on the cusp of ditching my corporate job before my soul withers into nothing, but my anxious brain is holding me back. I've got 2 jobs, and the job I enjoy and want pursue is minimum wage and a crappy financial decision but makes me feel like myself again. Corporate job makes me want to kill myself.

I'm so sick of people only struggling for living wages but don't give a damn about how much humiliation and harassment you get at work. I think we should also address the problems of the service industry, which is the main employer all over the world. People don't deserve to get yelled at, feel threatened, feel fear and mental stress at work. Quite the opposite, if you want me to give someone a good service, you have to give me the optimal conditions that make it easier for me to help, don't add obstacles to an already hard work.

I work in fast food, this is my second job and I've never been laid off so I'm not sure what to do. Little backstory – I try to be that 110% employee, I have worked there 8 months, only called out 3 times (twice due to covid), never late and I never request days off, I dont involve myself in drama and I do my work and go home. A couple months ago I asked my GM if I could get less hours (i was working 35h/week at the time) due to starting physical therapy, and she said that was okay so I got bumped down to around 15/hr a week which was okay. Starting a few weeks ago though, she stopped putting me on the schedule. I have tried calling the store and messaging my GM, when it comes to calling out, being late, or anything else etc.…

After seeing a lot of negative stories about shitty workplaces/managers/companies, etc, I figured I’d share the story of when my grandma passed away from cancer, and how her company handled it. In the beginning of April 2020 right at the start of Covid, we found out that my grandmas cancer had returned, and it was diagnosed as stage 4 inoperable, and she was only given 1-3 weeks to live. She ended up passing away on May 5th 2020 after a very short battle. Upon finding out the news from my uncle, her supervisor gave his condolences and immediately notified the department manager who notified his superiors, and eventually word got to the EVP(acting CEO at the time due to the actual CEO being out on personal leave) The EVP of the company went out of his way to have her 25 year anniversary plaque made, and hand delivered it to…
