Antiwork

It's been AMAZING for writing cover letters. Plug in the job posting, plug in your resume, bam. Quick and succinct cover letter and you barely had to do a thing. Also fuck cover letters.

We all agree that enough is enough. We all have our reasons 2-3 jobs and you can't even remember how a home cooked meal taste like… We can't pay bills… even though we are working full time. You live in a shoe box while the boss buys his second car and you are told that live is awesome. Your boss is asshole but you need the job and he knows it and just watches you struggle. You are stuck in a dead end job waiting for the day you simply perish with the hope it's early morning so you don't have to go to work for nothing. You have seen how a graph just shows that you won't have what people used to have for centuries. Get blamed that you lazy good for nothing even though the only thing you feel is tired. I think we can all say enough…

I work as a guide who is paid a day rate. I was scheduled to work for a full day and came in ready to do so but the customer wanted to end the trip halfway. The customer still paid the company in full but the company only paid me half day rate and when I asked my manager about it, this is their response: “I am not going to pay you for hours you do not work. So, if you are slated to work a full day shift and you only work a half day shift, I am not going to pay you for a full day because you did not work a full day.” I understand if I quit halfway through then I should be paid only half day but since I was willing to work my full scheduled day it seems unfair that I get paid for…

My wife was let go from her job just before Christmas. Today, the final week in March, she gets a letter from the employer stating they incorrectly paid her too much and want their $86 and change back. Choices on the letter are to take it out of the next paycheck or xx per month over the next several paychecks. My initial inclination is to trash the letter and pretend we never got it. It wasn't sent certified mail and they can try and do whatever payroll deduction they want, she hasn't worked there for three months. Stated reason was incorrect timecard entry, but that's not her fault, HR entered the timecards and frequently did it incorrectly. What do you think? We aren't sweating $86, but it seems petty to go after someone three months after you already cut them a final check.
