Antiwork

Boy do they have a rude awakening coming. I’ll be on a plane to the Dominican Republic for vacation. Got the next week approved back in November. I’m pretty sure I put in my notice for Friday at that time but when I checked the calendar I wasn’t scheduled off. I do not feel bad at all

As the team lead, I’m expected to put on our safety vest and direct the other members of the team on what to do during a fire. Okay no problem. So I hear the alarm is going off, while I was going to the bathroom, but I couldn’t hear if the fire was on my unit or not from the page. Anyways I finish in the bathroom as quick as I can and come out to find a bunch of management standing around with clip boards and marking things down. I go and get the safety equipment and start instructing my team on what to do. Everything goes fine, the drill is over and I’m happy. Until one of the clipboard dickheads comes over and points to their writing that says “1 min 40sec”, then starts going off about how that how long it took for me to get my…

This isn't as bad as some of the stuff I see here, but until now I have always felt that my employer has fair and reasonable practices, so I was a bit surprised by the 180 degree flip the moment I gave notice. I work for a large, non-profit research institution. I have been there a long time but recently received an offer to make big move up in my career. I want to really start strong in this new role, so I wanted some extra time to lay the groundwork for this new position (writing an operational plan, researching new vendors, drafting job descriptions for positions I will add.. you get the idea). Forcing me to stay longer I planned to give over a month of notice at my old job, but due to the usual HR delays at the new job, I did not receive my offer letter…

The legal term for a company director in the UK is Managing Director. Over the last few years people have started giving themselves self aggrandising titles like “CEO” and “President”. Even school headteachers call themselves “CEO of the school”. It’s cringe and ridiculous. Anyone else in the UK noticed this?

My employer has me in 2 different roles, one that I like and I'm good at even though it's more work, and another that I hate and I'm not very good at, guess which one I have to invest more time in? What I hate. In addition, I have now been assigned a third role, which is to cover the holidays of a person whose work has nothing to do with either of the other two. Now the things at work that I hate are piling up, and with that they are putting pressure on me, I'm getting anxious, producing less, feeling tired all day and affecting my other functions, making me look like a bad employee. I think life is too valuable to waste on stresses like that, but it pays me relatively well and I'm afraid I won't find something that pays well again here in my country.

Hi guys, Russian fella here. Have been working as a store manager for two years. 12 hours shifts, 5 days per week, 2,3$/hour in dollars. In Christmas we had to work for 14 days non stop due to high tragic and increase in customers. Left it couse had no time for regular life and due to psychological problems that was caused by stress. Now working as a manager of supply department. 5/2, 8 hours shifts, still 2,3$/hour but it's fine. At least I have a time to live.
