Antiwork

so for context im 17 and work at a restaurant it was my first fast food job and I was mediocre at it, the coworkers there were mean and unsupportive and I was planning on quitting. I went into my normally scheduled shift and my boss was sitting there waiting for me, he told me straight up that he was letting me go and his reason was that “the workers here are saying that you're not doing what you need to do and not working to your full potential” I checked the schedule and I was still scheduled for the week but saw that a new worker has already replaced me, adding on to that my boss literally sent me my schedule the day before I was fired. I guess my question is was this a valid reason and firing? edit: I'm in Canada

I work in marketing for a less than reputable company in California, and I have recently just discovered that my boss is not the most honest man on the planet. He has been accused several times and by different people of threatening people who give his companies negative reviews even going so far as to sue them in the hopes that they will get scared and just take it down. He’s starts different companies after he gets caught in some type of scam. I am in the process of exposing him and I am hoping to get some help from Reddit. How do I pull court cases from civil court?

I still have a job I don't care about. It still pays more then enough. I'm just taking a lot more sick days, focusing on developing my skills in AI and thinking about the future where everything is going to change really fast soon. It's a good thing technology will automate most of our jobs. It's a good thing humanity in total will have less work to do. We all should focus on making AI-Utopia a reality and stop this current system that makes us think that “AI will do work for us” is in any way a bad thing! “AI will take your job!!!”, is only triggering you, if you think inside the current system where you need a job to get money to survive. But productivity will shoot through the roof and there simply won't be enough jobs left for everyone. Fuck work, let AI do it, but…

I had outpatient surgery last Thursday that left me with two incisions – one on my neck and one on my chest. I took Thursday off obviously but worked from home on Friday and benefited from yesterday being a holiday. I let my boss know beforehand that I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to come in on Tuesday (today) or not, depending upon the pain, swelling, range of motion, ability to drive, ability to sit upright at a desk for 8 hours, etc. I sent her a message this morning letting her know I’d be working from home today. My neck is still very swollen and I’m hoping another day of icing it and drinking a lot of water will help it come down now that we’re past the peak of expected swelling. Her response? “Ok.” and let me know there are issues with Remote Desktop so I may…

as the title states, I had a coworker literally old enough to be my dad say something extremely inappropriate about my body. the only thing that my job did to punish him is suspend him for five days and then he has to go speak to a counselor one time about how what he said to me was inappropriate. I was told this in the same breath of how they take this type of thing very seriously. when HR confronted him about what he said to me, he told them we were friends and didn't mean to say that. he also said that he meant it as a compliment. this man has also done/said other inappropriate things to my other coworkers, including being inappropriate towards my other coworker's at the time 15 year old daughter. he has had to go through sexual harassment training twice at this point. we're tour…

Hi all, I work for a company that has been WFH since the pandemic and has recently implemented a back to office mandate two times a week. This is a little concerning to me as I have some medical issues that will make working in the ofice really challenging and a bad experience for me, also simultaneously putting the work that I'm doing at risk. I've requested medical accomodation and am waiting to be assigned a case worker. For context, I get severe migraines and am over-stimulated easily. Whenever I spend a day at the office, I have a bad migraine at least on the way back and usually have to take some time to recover. I have also had breakdowns on the public transport while commuting during rush hour, so I typically come in a little later (10 am) and either leave around 3pm or wait until 6pm to…

I work at a gym open to the public 24/7 as one of the night crew workers. The work is relatively easy, but the working environment itself is absolutely dogwater. My coworkers make discriminatory, sexual comments against the women who come and go from the gym. They flirt with them constantly, and it makes me very uncomfortable. They also let their friends use the gym even without a membership, leaving them as my liability once said coworkers shifts end. It's a danger to me if one of these guests get hurt and they end up being a non member- it could get me fired, since it's a liability legally. My boss also treats me with a lot of disrespect. When I started this job, I told him I had PTSD, anxiety, and depression due to abuse I suffered in the past. Whenever I've had an attack of said PTSD and…

Especially with how things are in America nowadays, why do employers think it’s a good idea to send people to strangers houses to sell them something? People get harmed just for knocking on doors now. Are these companies just not capable of using modern marketing strategies? Is it to save money on digital marketing at the expense of an employees free time? Shit’s whack
