Antiwork

Stfu Zip Recruiter.

I worked a lot of warehouse jobs and I've been cool with a lot of people on a personal level so from my own experience I gathered a lot of info on how my coworkers are paid. It is extremely common for people to work at a job for years and “earn” a 25 cents – 1 dollar annual raise only for a new guy to show up and either get paid exactly what they now make or worse, a dollar extra regardless of how important the veterans roles are. Life is different when you put yourself in someone else's boots, that's beyond soul crushing.

Fyi: I am in UK. I have been at this company approaching five months, on a 2-year fixed term contract. My contract only mentions that a notice period of 3 months comes into effect once I have completed this fixed term. There is no mention of a notice period if an employee wishes to terminate the fixed term early. Anyway, I was planning on staying in this job for at least a year but I became very unhappy and stressed. So, I started looking for a new job. I got an offer on Thursday, which I accepted! Today, I did the 'decent' thing of giving my manager the heads up that I am going to be handing in my 4-weeks notice (even though I am not contractually obliged to). They then proceeded to tell me that I have no right to terminate the fixed term early, that I cannot unilaterally…

She immediately went and told my boss that I am unhappy working here and that I am looking for work elsewhere which in turn made my boss come at me harshly and basically tell me that she no longer sees my value in the organization.

I'm looking to get some third-party advice for my current situation.. I have recently transitioned from blue collar work to work in an office job, and I am not familiar with all the dynamics and red tape that comes with working for a corporation. I was hired on part-time through an acquaintance, and he offered me 21hr starting as I had no experience and told me that if I did a good job that he could get me 25hr at the end of my 3 month probabation.. He also told me that he would support me in achieving a promotion that would pay 60-65k a year which was a huge incentive for me to start at such a low wage. I'm a very quick learner, hard worker etc. Always showed up on time and stayed late when I thought necessary etc.. my boss appreciate this and gave me payed 1hr…

I'm a 19-year-old trapped in a soul-sucking corporate restaurant job as a line cook. Today, I was scheduled for a grueling double shift from 11:00AM to 10:00PM, as usual. We were severely understaffed with just three of us in the kitchen, as usual. We were each responsible for two stations and the orders were pouring in. I was doing my best to keep up, but I had to work at a slower pace to ensure that I didn't mess up the orders or get overwhelmed. Keep in mind I am only 3 weeks into this job, so I am still learning and trying to get better. Additionally, I have been scolded before for messing up orders, due to it being busy and understaffed. So what was the solution? To just take my time, but quickly, to prevent messing up orders or becoming angry. Despite this, my manager, who was also…
