Antiwork

I'm happy to see the world band together against one of the many modern dictators. However, with every corporate entity making headlines for pulling their product, movie, or service out of Russia is just comically reminiscent of how they throw up a LGBT pride-logo in June (which they hide from the Russian market). I fail to see why anyone should regard Disney as saintly for pulling theatrical releases from Russia while they were simultaneously chill with filming 2 miles away from a Uighur concentration camp in China.

So for brief backstory the last few years I've worked restaurant and warehouse jobs with terrible employers and terrible conditions. I had a dream Job for about 9 years in the fire department until I was forced to resign due to my substance abuse and legal issues (DUI) about 4 years ago. These last few years have been brutal. Long hours, insane schedules, poor conditions, terrible benefits all for low pay; less than a living wage pay. It's been very difficult having have had my dream job and now this. I will say and own up that losing that dream job was 100% on me however that still doesn't make going from that to this any easier. Over the last few years I've jumped from job to job each one with hopes of being better but never really being the case. Fast forward to today I'm working in a warehouse…

Should I do this as I think it will help my feel so much better

To make it worse these texts not only come at all times of the day, but especially after hours. Boomer boss who uses work as an escape from his wife and kid that hate him. All he does is think about work, and at any given moment, when he has an idea, has to impulsively send a text so his highness doesn’t “forget.” Texting is such an unprofessional way to communicate with your employees. Cell phone use has always been justified to be used “in case of emergencies.” Texts with simple instructions or as a response to an email that could have easily waited until the next day, is not a fucking emergency. I really hope this bill in Ontario is legislated: https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.6224826 If for every 30 sec text or call my boss made to me after hours, would sanction him to pay me for 3 hours, I would legit…

21f here, and I just the shortest and sourest interview in my life a couple hours ago at a new cafe in town looking for an extra cook. Just a part time job to make up for the huge dent in my bank account after moving towns for school. My family owns multiple successful restaurants where I worked during my youth (weird nepotism, I was extremely overworked. Was doing 50+hr weeks at only 16) , and have been in many more for the past six years. In short, I have some experience in the kitchen. You’d think that would be wanted in an up and coming restaurant, right ? Apparently not! So after waiting an extra 10 minutes for the manager to come out (the restaurant was empty), I was met by an older woman who just stared at me. No mask either, which is an instant red flag in…

I'm tired of seeing this in so many job postings. They require that you have a bachelor's degree but with no specific field mentioned. They don't care what your degree is in, just that you have one. Maybe it's so they can get someone in enough debt to keep them obedient and afraid to quit. I'm considering lying to employers and telling them I have a degree in some inane field that doesn't apply to the job at all just to see how they react. “Oh you require a bachelor's degree for this job as a customer service rep? You're in luck! I have a degree in Astrobiology!”
