Antiwork

Yep. She's been quietly putting together a presentation as to why she deserves a raise. She's been at the company for 4 years and has only gotten a salary increase of $58. During this time she has gotten certification in two important areas of her field and trained the only two people who have been hired since she started. She's the only one who had to come back to the office after covid. The “elders” of the company all work from home still. I told her this is the reddest of flags. She agreed. She's putting in her two weeks in mid April 🤘

Hey y’all, so I’ve been part of this sub for a while and see people dealing with a variety of weird stuff from corporations and employers. Well, after desperately searching months for a job to pay the rent I got one at a cafe in a gas station, that rhymes with “peasons snorner yarket kafe” Off the bat, there’s a ton of huge red flags. For starters, there’s only like 9 employees aside from the 2 managers, which is rough because they don’t want us to ever call out of shifts and if we don’t find coverage we could be fired, as it’s at-will. Well it’s hard to find coverage when 6/9 employees are scheduled a day. They’re super micromanaged, I was warned by a coworker who started about a month before me that they have cameras EVERYWHERE, and there’s supposedly a couple of people who are constantly or at…

I’ve been going through this. Every time I’m “assigned” to a driver. They switch me at the last minute. But this particular day I ended up waking up late (exhausted from previous work day with this constant 5 in the morning so I gotta wake up at 4; end up spending 13 hours or more by myself) and then I thought the person I was riding with or driving was gone. So I hopped in with another driver since I was about to leave and go ask who am I goin’ to be with. But the driver was like “shit, you can come with me and we knock this on out.” And so I did since he was pissed how his route looked. Got called many hours later on where I was at. I told them who I was with. Now explain this to me. How does me being with…

Apparently my therapist told me it's “wrong” to blame the economy for anything. I'm not an idiot, there are factors within my control, and factors beyond my control. If, during the great depression, I'm pretty sure it would of been easy to look around you and think “well, I'm doing my best, but it doesn't really look all that promising as a whole”? It is quite strange that many Americans seem to have this weird fetish of only being allowed to find fault within themselves, and can't look beyond to factors existing outside of their control as indicators of success or failure as well. I think it may be the reason why boomers blame younger kids on being unable to afford college. “Well I afforded it just fine”. So they look at the person as a failure rather than systematic oppression through skyrocketing tuition. Which is very stupid.

Episode 14 At the seaside, there was an adult selling fish at a stall. A little boy passed by, staring at the fish and drooling. The adult asked, “Little boy, do you want to eat? This fish is only 1 dollar, very cheap.” The boy replied, “I don't have any money…” The boy blinked at the adult and imitated what he had seen on the internet, on stage, in movies, TV shows, video games, and social media. He said, “You caught some great fish. This fish is so fresh, tender, and delicious. Whether steamed, braised, or fried, it will be amazing. It's hard to get fat eating alone, so why don't we share this fish together?” The adult smiled and said, “Where did you learn that from, little kid? Do you even understand what you're saying? Hahaha.” The boy blushed and said, “I don't really know what I'm saying, but…
