Antiwork

I work as a kitchen porter at a fancy 'award winning' hotel in the UK. I am autistic. I was bullied by a coworker for being autistic since November. I and other co-workers repeatedly reported this and it wasn't taken seriously until January. Even after my bosses finally talked to them it continued and my brain broke. I got signed off with mental health issues at the end of January and I have been off sick since. I got my first paycheck since I've been signed off and they haven't paid me any sick pay. This is bullshit. I have no other options and they know that. I wasn't going to put in a complaint with HR about ableism but I am now. It's my bosses fault I'm off and they won't even give me statuary sick pay. Fuck them.

It's time to fight for our rights, for social services and for the labor movement. Although not from the people's fault, attention has been finally successfully diverted from the labor movement. This isn't the fault of anyone but the conflicts (Russia vs Ukraine vs NATO vs US). It does however present us with a window of opportunity where we can either organize better or fall apart. The best thing we can do from the US perspective is to stop politicians that want to turn Ukraine into the next shelled out nation that nobody can live on. We can stop the rise of evangelicals and their book burnings and support for Putin and a warmongering state. We can stop politicians from going to the conflict to rob and steal from another country. But it starts here. Couch activism where we post online about it the war will not stop any politicians.…

So I recently got promoted at work, but for the first 2 weeks I was still getting paid at my old positions rate. They said I would get back pay on this coming check, but as I viewed it online I didn't see anything about any back pay just the hours and pay I did these last two weeks. I'm going to bring it up to my people lead at work tomorrow, but since he's been here, it feels as though he's been no help to anyone. So what I'm wondering, when I bring up to my people lead tomorrow, what outside party that a corporate job like walmart not want to be dragged into getting my back pay can I bring up to make his nonchalant attitude be more serious about the $1000 in back pay they owe me.

Hello everyone, I’ve been lurking here for a while now and just wanted to put in my two cents on ethical management of businesses. Here are my thoughts and reasoning behind them. Feel free to tell me if you agree or disagree. A business should: 1. Use increased profits for the sake of the business by reinvesting that money into company expansion, solving company problems, improving the craft of the business, and investing into their employees. 2. At the very least, increase wages and prices to match inflation. Anything less is saying that the employee is worth less than they were last year. If done right, this would mean any real profit would come from increase in customer base and the value created by providing their service minus the operating costs. This is the honest way that profits should work. The fact that the vast majority of companies try to…

Long post here. I'm turning in a two week notice tomorrow. Backstory, I work in the embroidery department of a design company. My department manager quit at the end of January. I was promoted to her position, with a miniscule pay bump. mid-February, my company's co-owners brought in a “long-time friend” to work in our department. Buuut they told everyone but our department, thanks workplace gossip, that they brought her in to take over my old manager's position… This is a completely different field, very hands on, of which she has absolutely zero experience (she's coming from a national chain deli to an embroidery department). From the ground up, as I used to train new employees, it takes about two weeks just to be able to work independently, let alone understand the details, and none of the computer work, production scheduling, artwork, what is and isn't possible, digitizing, etc. She's…
