Antiwork

I'm out of here. This sub used to be great, now it's gone to shit. It's just full of lazy people that don't want to do anything and take multiple months off. And if they don't get their way, they blame their workplace/manager. You're giving the people that joined this site for a legitimate reason a bad rep. Stop idolizing “Doreen” (from fox news). He's not a good role model. It's been real guys ️

On mobile so my format won’t be the best. Last year I got a job offer from a fortune 50 company to move halfway across the country to fill a position they desperately needed. I was unemployed and it was during the height of Covid so I accepted. I managed to get a really good signing bonus and for the company to cover my moving expenses as long as I sign a 2 year contract with them. Little did I know that they would use the contract to royally fuck me. A few weeks into the job I was killing it in the field, had the best numbers, showed great leadership and I had an edge compared to everyone else here because it’s a niche field and I have an extensive background in the kind of work we were doing. The company has been treating me fair so far. A…

When I joined the company I work for, I took a “lower” position in favor of better salary and benefits and non-toxic environment. A new Team Lead position opened recently and I told my boss that I’m interested. I have a few years experience in that field, plus a couple of years experience working for the company itself. I’m scheduled soon to have a call with my boss to discuss it, but I’m afraid they might offer me the position without the raise, or along the “let’s see how it fits and we’ll see about the raise” lines. I definitely don’t want more responsibilities for the same amount of money and I’m even ok staying at the same position in that case, but I wonder if anyone has any advice on how to handle the situation, if it comes to that. How to make my case that I deserve the…

Throughout my entire working career I've never fit in at any job. The stress has lead me to take antidepressants. It's gotten so bad I have to suppress a fight or flight response. When we went into lock down I only had to come in two days a week and I was alone those days. I really started to feel better. The stress just magically became more tolerable. But now that we are back to normal (completely ignoring covid) the stress is back. What is wrong with me? I'm sorry if this isn't allowed but you guys seem pretty tolerant of people like me.

I’m actively applying now while I’m still working at my current job. I’m legit having wetdreams about leaving my job and leaving them high and dry. They have at this point delegated the work of 4 people (who have been laid off) to me, and I am basically the cornerstone SME of a very specific area of the system. Everyone comes to me with questions on this shit, to the point where they have to call me when I’m on PTO to ask how to do something. I imagine it’s gonna be an amazing shit show once I put in my 2 week notice… I’m looking to leave because 1) noone appreciates or appreciated the work I put in, my only reward for good work is MORE work. 2) company is extemely unstable and we are outsourcing HARD so i can really be laid off any day (it would be…

I wouldn't say average pensions in Germany are great either, but there is rent control and public housing. Rent in the US is projected to rise another 10% 2022. After working till 67, how is anyone survive on that meager pitance? Do all eldars end up on the streets?

You literally never know when you are going to need this sort of evidence to protect yourself, and I am constantly seeing examples where this would be useful on this sub. They are lightweight, free apps, and there are plenty of them. Please install one today.
