Antiwork

Hello, first time poster long time lurker and big time supporter. Compared to others, I may get laughed at because I’m 100% wfh but just wanted to gouge how many others are in the same boat. I’m in insurance claims which deals with a lot of litigation that makes up a quarter of my overwhelming current large pending. I would give more details but I think I can be easily identified by my company given my unique duties and types of claims I handle as I suspect someone from there is sneaking around in these types of forums. Anyway, I looked at the department roster from a few years ago and to now, it’s almost 50% less than what it was and don’t think they hired anyone since the pandemic which means anytime someone quits, their case load and files get thrown onto the rest of us left. During this…

I work in Italy, Europe and I have to deal with American top tier companies almost on a daily basis. Whenever I see a 2 hour online meeting booked on my calendar by some Katherine “but call me Kat” from “X American company, stealing wages since 1492” I swear I want to slit both my wrists and jump out of an open window. The jargon is insufferable. I cannot count the number of times I heard, in a serious meeting “on this journey” and “dream team” and “seize this opportunity” ….dude, why so much bs? like who tf is buying this crap? Sell me the shit and gtfo, I ain't got time for doing this all day. My job would be so much easier without these clowns. You guys should put these people on a bus to North Korea

Being black (and dark skinned), plus size, non-binary, bisexual and polyam really put me in a corner. Discovering that I have ADHD is kinda the cherry on top of it. What leaves me desperate isn't really not fitting almost anywhere but the constant aggression for not being normative. Besides all of that, I feel like weekends are just a brief timeout and there you go, back to being productive again. Low salaries, high rents, “inflation”, exploitation, racism, transphobia, biphobia, fatphobia… I got to the point that I don't wanna get out of bed to cook myself a decent meal. Survive on smoking, water and bread. Well, at least when someone “compliments me”, I'll be able to share that depression is the best diet. The amount of money it takes to afford living… It's a loop! And for what, really? To keep eachother making money for the next millionaire corporate guy?…

Just found out today I got a slap on the wrist because my attendance score went down a whole percentage point because in the year I've working for my job I've only missed four days. My manager explained to me it's because of the vast number of people we have working where we do that everyone gas to be present, but when I asked him what's the point of having paid time then he could not answer. Last time I checked I am a free person, so why am I being held “accountable,” for the time-off provided by my company? How am I supposed to take “personal responsibilty,” for being sick on a non-scheduled work day?

This my first post in this subreddit so I hope I’m not doing this wrong. I signed a contract for my company stating for every year of schooling or training that I completed I would receive 5000 dollars. The parameters were that I completed my schooling and that I work at least 25 hours a week while maintaining a b average gpa. I have maintained all of those parameters and when I asked For the second half I was ghosted. I let my manager know that if the company doesn’t intend to honor their end of the contract I would start looking for other places of employment. Well he told me a week later that I wouldn’t get that check due to me not staying past my scheduled shift to complete a job a few months ago and that he took me saying what I said as a resignation. He…

Been working a skilled labor job at a large company for over 10 years now(blue collar). Great at my job but tired of it. Started when I was 21 and I just want to try something else but I make over 6 figures where I’m at with great benefits. I also have a wife who’s a stay at home mom and have 2 young daughters (1 and 4).The thought of trying something new is crazy relieving but also comes with a ton of dread as I live in a HCOL area and don’t want my kids to go without. I didn’t have much as a kid and my family wasn’t the happiest and I just want to be a great provider. With that being said it’s not weird for me to work 60 hour weeks working 19 days straight then just taking 2 off and getting back after it with…
