Antiwork

Started a new job at a company a few weeks. They have us in loads of training which is great, but is not really preparing us for the role. We are currently on real calls and it’s been a hot mess. From what we learned in training and being on the real calls, we have been f*cked over! Was told that we can’t shadow or have small group training because “they don’t have enough experienced associates for that”. It’s a nightmare and headache. I want to leave, but unfortunately I do have bills and other responsibilities. It’s a tough spot to be in, but I feel like we have been set up to fail. This week of calls don’t “count” towards certification, but based on what I’m seeing; most people will be quitting or won’t pass.

Ive got to vent somewhere so ill post here. Either mental or physical, your health is your responsibility and do not take your employers or coworkers for concern for your health for granted. I work construction for HVAC installation. Long story short we work with Duct Seal that is known to cause cancer, nervous system issues and infertility. Says it right on the label. Nobody reads the shit. They sent one of my coworkers into ductwork with it to seal from the inside and he passed out from lack of adequate ventilation. They expected this to happen as thankfully they had tied a rope to him to pull him out. There was not any precaution in place to conserve his health Save the rope for WHEN he passes out. This is a daily occurence not exclusive to my company alone. We don't get ventilationor respirators and if you ask its…

Im a new fresh grad from lebanon. I work 9-6 daily, but due to transport i wake up at 7 and arrive home at 7 How is this life worth living for 30 upcoming years? I cant take this

(I say US in the title because that's where I'm from and I'm unfamiliar with how the rest of the world does it. I assume it's the same but don't want to assume incorrectly). So, why do we still follow a five day/40 hour work week despite the population of the US growing by over 200 million people since it was first implemented in or around 1926. The population of the US was (approx.) 117.3 million people in 1926 and it's at 334.2 as of January 2023. For the past couple years I've done some thinking about how much time we spend at work vs how much time we actually get to ourselves during our off time. For instance, why doesn't a company that runs three eight hour shifts instead run four 6 hour shifts? Bringing in an entire new shift of workers helps lower unemployment. Spending less time at…

(Sorry for grammatical errors) My job put out a sign on Sunday to let customers, and employees, know that we’re closing at 8pm for Memorial Day. We all came in on Monday doing our thing when suddenly we got a surge of customers showing up due to a car meet that was happening right in front of the store. I’m guessing the boss saw them through the cameras and called one of the workers at the last minute to let everyone know that we will be closing at 9pm instead. A lot of the coworkers, including myself, felt very bummed about it. Our deli department was more pissed because they already cleaned all the equipment and now they had to stay an extra hour. One of my co workers didn’t wanna stay the extra hour so he left exactly at 8. Another co worker had to tell her husband (he…

The way calling in sick works at my store is that I have to call the store using the same number customers use. The problem is the option to actually call someone and not just hear store information is disabled until 10. My shift starts at 9:30. What the fuck

I've been trying to hire for months for a customer service position at my company (I'm only one position above this position I'm the interviewer for) and keep having “no call, no shows.” In the position posting we clearly have stated our hourly pay, which is well above any other company in the area, plus a standard commission percentage (no other companyin our area offers this for similar positions in this field). I tried really hard to work with HR to have this position have a really good pay rate, 401k, etc. offering for our area because I'm passionate about employees feeling taken care of by the place they work. I also put a lot of effort into reading through all of the applications/resumes and writing concise interview questions so that it does show that I care about their work history and how that knowledge and experience is valuable. For…
