Antiwork

Just like the title says. I have frequented this sub since I was about 16, and haven’t looked back. Because of this I’ve hopped from job to job where I felt my time was valued, respected, and that’s all thanks to this community! 🙂 That being said, with the economy the way that it is, and recent firings giving me a promotion… I can’t afford to reject the job offer for the management position. I’m still in training, so I’ve got a bit to go before I officially start – just need some advice. How do I operate in a way that satisfies the needs of my company so I can keep my job, while also giving the people working with me a sense of security and respect? It’s corporate retail, so I know it’s bound to be hell. Trust me, I was literally just there. There’s no escaping the…

(NC) I recently got injured while on the job, long story short my manager sucked. I’ve been dealing with workers comp and they put some pretty serious work restrictions, but I technically could still work with one hand lightly. They had me working “light duty” and it was difficult but I did it. I took a lot of time off each week because it was difficult, and I had to do physical therapy on the side frequently. They just fired me and the amount of hours I’m working being the reason. Is there anything I can do?

I sat through a meeting yesterday about how we’re being forced to come back to the office every day starting next week. And our executive director couldn’t even be bothered to stay for the entire meeting after dropping that bomb on us….but we got shitty pizza! And the really upsetting part is that he didn’t even actually say we had to come back. He sort of implied it . Which meant that no one questioned it at the time because we didn’t understand what he was telling us at first. And later everyone was like ’do they think we’re stupid? Music and pizza are not making up for this.’ I’m really trying not to fall apart. I won’t see my husband or my baby most of the time. I hate it here. 🤬 (I’ve already told my manager that I can’t come back next week. I need time to arrange…

Thank you very much , this took longer than expected but you really worked hard to get everything lying flat.

Is this something that I should take action on or leave alone? I am currently employed in a nursing home in the dietary department, and my coworkers have been complaining about the company altering our hours. For example, my coworker is scheduled from 4-8:30, and she does her entire shift, clocks in at 4, clocks out at 8:30. But, they go back into the system and clock her out at 7. She still hasn't received her paycheck from 2 weeks ago. We're severely short staffed, so the majority of us have to do double shifts. 2 of my coworkers work from 6:30 to 8:30, and the company has been clocking them out early when they do those shifts. When we started to complain about it, the company locked us out of viewing our hours that we worked. What do you guys suggest I do? Should I call the department of…

I'm goddamn sick and tired of waking up every morning just to prepare myself for spending 8 hours doing shit I don't care about to come home and have zero energy or motivation to do anything else. All for what? So i can barerly afford transportation back tommorow? So I can afford a home? Haha who am i kidding? The world is a large beautiful place. Why can't I be backpacking across south america or something or travelling around africa? Why do I have to pretend I give a fuck that karen get's her potato chips for $2? Godamn it how am i supposed to even pretend to GAF?
