Antiwork

Very simple metric that has served me for years: If your workload doubles when a coworker or counterpart takes their PTO—which is their right as a human being—your company is understaffed. Working twice as hard to cover your coworkers is inappropriate and a clear-cut sign of poor management. Don't work harder, don't work faster, work at your pace. I'm slammed with about triple my usual workload this week because the other guy who does my same job is off all week. Just because he took his time off on a busy week means nothing—he deserves it. The real problem is the company being understaffed because profits and cutting costs are the priority—not you, not me, not any of us. For those of us working double today: Tell your manager when you are spread too thin, and don't pin the blame on anything or anyone but management. It's their fuckup, not…

Would it be considered unreasonable to call a remote work policy in which “everyone has to be the same” and those who are productive aren't allowed any more remote work than those who slack off, Communist? Is it not so far off to start telling people they should all be only paid as much as the entry level workers?

Hey guys, I'm currently desperately (lol not lol) searching for jobs as I got laid off. I already have a basic CV template created by a professional CV writer. To increase my chances, I always customize each CV and cover letter for the specific job I'm applying to. However, this takes a long time, even with help from ChatGPT-4. I'm wondering if anyone knows a platform where I can upload my CV template, then give it a job description of the job I want to apply to, and it edits the existing template to match the job description? I've tried ChatGPT, but it sometimes makes up experiences, which isn't appropriate. It needs to stay within my actual work experience. If this is possible, with me still checking it thoroughly, it'd be much more efficient. Some might call it lazy, but I prefer efficient… I know there are AI CV/resume platforms…

hi howdy. I graduated from college with a BS in sociology (listen. I had plans for that – but the pandemic hit while I was in college and that entire experience has kind of shattered any aspirations I had about going to grad school). ever since I feel like I have been dropped into some sort of awful maze. I know I'm smart. I know I'm capable. I haven't ever really gotten negative feedback from an employer or teacher. I got good grades. I thought I was doing things right. but as of right now I feel so lost. I have no clue what I want to do with my life in terms of work. the thought of working 40 hours a week for most of my life legitimately makes me want to die. I am looking into some sort of extra education at community college to qualify me for…
