Antiwork

Title is pretty self explanatory, but basically these past two weeks she’s been coming up with all of these new reasons to write us up. If the bathrooms aren’t clean enough, if we were late to a meeting (keep in mind this is retail store.) I’m fairly sure none of these are in the handbook, just made up on a whim. Just kinda annoyed because I don’t hate this job, it can be fun sometimes. But lately they’ve been making changes for the worse.

My coworker told me today that our manager called him into his office after I left work for the day to tell him that we need to stop watching videos at our desk while we are at work. He also said that I would be called in next Monday to have the same conversation. Most of the time while I am at my desk I have one earbud in to listen to the lo-fi girl on youtube while I work.

We are members of the Russian antiwar movement. Some of you may already know us under the title of “Antivoenny_bolnichny” (“Antiwar sick-leave”). But for most of you, our real names are meaningless and empty – as they were and as they should be. As we have said in one of…
