Antiwork

Been working for a tech company for a while (6 months) in a PM function. The second I hit the ground, I realized what a dumpster fire senior management was. Zero steer on priorities, no organization whatsoever. Of course, it’s never the company’s fault, so my probation has been extended because I can’t plan for projects that never happen, get cancelled, or replaced by the next “important” thing. Thankfully, this trash company won’t even touch my CV because I took a self-employed sabbatical and can pretend it never existed when finding a replacement. Jesus, am I tired of corporations though. The team was still delivering. Work was still getting done. Keeping a job shouldn’t be so hard.

I started a coaching and training side hustle 10 years ago. I was so passionate about it then and hustled so hard to build it up and I use to love what I did – it initially didn’t even feel like work. I had just been made redundant and it was the perfect opportunity for me to try something different. It was the best job ever as I was my own boss (well not really, my clients are my boss) but you get what I mean. It was soo much better then my previous job. Also once you start working for yourself, I knew it would be super hard to go back to being an employee so I guess I kind of felt like this option was the better compared to the alternative. I managed to sustain the passion an drive for a while but eventually it started to feel…

Cannot imagine doing this the rest of my life. I got my first job ever (i’m 17) and was paid £5 which was later raised to £6. i quit a few months ago but it still bothers me so i needed to rant. (had a nightmare about it last night tbh) it was recently raised, but at the time i was working minimum wage for my age was £4.81 = $5.94 how is this legal? there’s even a separate “minimum living wage” that’s recommended but not enforced?? i’m thankful to not have to support myself on a job quite yet, if i did i’d simply die, this was the only job that would take me with no prior experience. i don’t even know where to begin with the owner so i’ll make a list i guess. the owner did not tolerate mistakes. like new people would come in for a…

Forced to work Memorial Day weekend. Have to work my 8hour shift on Monday or I get written up and placed under investigation for leaving early. This is the fourth holiday in a row I’ve been forced. The people that run this company are all off. I work a union job and pay my dues. The company I work for makes billions of dollars in profits every year. Just can’t go on without me being there for 8hours I guess

I really dont want to burn any bridges cause I live in such a tiny small town, but the total disrespect from my job is stressing me out. Would you guys bother with 2 weeks notice? I've only been there a month, have only been paid once (had to ask for my cheque both times and still waiting on the correct amount this time) and now my manager is going to try to take the majority of tips for sitting around and drinking on the job. There's a plethora of other things but I dont wanna write an essay. I'm thinking of going in today and telling them they need to find someone else going forward. It might screw me from ever cooking in this town again, but I dont think I want to keep cooking anyways…Wwyd?
