Antiwork

I apologise if this is long but I’m pissed and need to rant. My fiancé has always struggled with her mental health issues and has had trouble finding work/holding down a job for ages due to her anxiety. She applied for what seemed like a “marketing job” on indeed.com with REALLY good pay. Her interview (which she aced) was in a super nice office and the people were really welcoming, she had the impression she was going to be doing digital marketing. I’m going to cut to the chase but she was skeptical from the start as it seemed way too good to be true right, so her first real shift she has to travel with the a member of the company and was dropped off in Salisbury (about 2 hours from where we live) with no map, no lunch or water. She didn’t know she would be doing DOOR…

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this subreddit and would like to describe a bit of myself, I've been working since I was 16 (currently 22) mainly starting in fast food restaurants and moved towards blue collar jobs, I started working as a delivery driver and at first the job seemed overwhelming but I eventually got ahold of it and enjoyed it, fast forward to a couple months ago and I get crammed with lots of stops, I work almost the entire day everyday from 10-16 hours almost everyday, I earn flat rate so regardless of what time I finish I still make the same amount, they refuse to hire new drivers and instead breakdown other delivery routes and divide them with anyone else working, I come back home just to sleep and work the next day, I have no life, I'm drained all the time, I have…

i’m just so tired and glad today is over, i work at an undisclosed fast food place and it was literally three of us for the majority of the day. i didn’t get to take my break because of how busy it was. i was literally on the verge of a mental breakdown in the middle of my shift today. and then the new GM put a freeze on hiring people cause she wants us to “push and believe in ourselves”. like it’s literally the most dumb thing i’ve ever heard in my entire life. im so exhausted. i just want to walk out at this point. it dosent help that i’m working while healing from a broken wrist and then having them constantly bitch about how i need to work faster. they don’t care about us and they never will.. just wanted to vent.

My roommate has been fired after being away from work Monday-Wednesday of this week. Received a phone call the morning of Thursday letting him know he no longer works for the company (Portland, Oregon). He contracted COVID on Friday of last week and has had a fever ever since and a nasty cough. He must have received the virus from work as no one else at the apartment has COVID and he doesn't really go out much, I mean many were sick at his workplace. He has only worked there for about 2 months, just under 90 day period. Should he just apply for unemployment through the state of Oregon? We live in Washington but work in Oregon. They did not claim it was because of COVID, but the signs point to it being COVID as they said he missed too much work in his first 90 days. He also…

So my workplace schedules us 12 days on, two days off, every other weekend basically. If we want to take Saturday off, I also am required to take Friday. Or Sunday off requires Monday off also. If we want both Saturday and Sunday off, we must take off Friday/Mon, or Thurs/Fri or Mon/Tues. Every weekend day off requires us to take an attached weekday off also. It's not in the employee handbook. Just the phrasing of “pto to be approved by manager based on company needs”. So it's an unwritten rule. It's designed to discourage us from taking weekends off by doubling the rate at which we use PTO. And it has to be PTO, can't used unpaid time off. 1st year no vacation days, second year is 5. So second year I can only take 2 weekend days off total, and have one extra day for a weekday. 72…

I've come here to ask for some advice on something that happened at work today. So I recently got my first office job. It's pretty chill and casual so we can just wear whatever. Tiring but okay. We have these lockers we have to put all of our stuff inside of before we go into the office (like our phones, which honestly makes a bit of sense considering we handle pretty confidential documents for like the city and stuff). I was told we had to put locks on our lockers. Okay, fair enough. But then today my supervisor alerted me that I would have to take off my lock because I didn't give the company my extra key. I need the extra because my family fleet has two cars and never know which one I'll end up with. The fact that I have to give the company access to the…
