Antiwork

This particular location was in a very poverty stricken area, I know for a fact that it’s not like other locations because of the city it’s in, the other ones are WAY nicer and have WAY more $$$, that’s just a little context to how corporate ended up in the store this day, and they are going around asking questions to employees “how do you like it, are there any problems?” Type things. But this corporate guy starts talking to me and tells me nobody is doing these monthly survey things for the store and so they don’t know anything about our store and that it’s doing terrible. And he said this was a major red flag for us “unionizing” and almost whispered when he said that.

Now my work you have to request the days off far in advance, bare minimum likely a month. I had missed the cutoff by a week or so when I got invited despite it being a month and a half away.

They all refuse to give overtime, doing everything possible to prevent that–but it's not like their salary is affected! I just don't understand it, how entitled and bitter they are. Every single one of them. It's not even their business! Has anyone else experienced this? Is it just me or is this a common issue in the workplace? How do you deal with it? I'm so tired of working for people who don't seem to care about their employees and only care about their own success and bootlicking to corporate. No, you are not a factory owner in the 1920s.
