Antiwork

This is not an offensive thing to say. We will literally spend a vast majority of our waking lives toiling for billionaires. I see elderly people hobble around my workplace. Still breaking their geriatric backs and in constant pain. We have no free time, no energy after the full time week. My life consists of work and resting for my next week of work. For what? Forced servitude until we die to make some tycoon even more money? This system is so fucked up and insane. How are people fine living like this? It is not only depressing but everyone is paycheck to paycheck. Only sixty more years of toil to go.

Make them fire you, they want you to get mad and quit when your getting bullied into working a shift you didn’t sign up for want to or finding someone to cover your shift in an emergency. Put it back on them. I’ve seen to many post recently with people just quitting. You declared your not available, don’t show up and get fired.

(Originally posted in r/MaliciousCompliance but I think it fits better here?) Sorry for my English. I am not native. I have been sharing my story in different subreddits but I think it is time to look back and laugh about this. Maybe this is part of the healing process? I don't know. So, anyway, I used to work in this place last year. At first, it was awesome and I liked it a lot. It was demanding, yes, but still manageable. My supervisor, a guy we will call Steve, was at first like a mentor to me. Yes, he was a douche sometimes since he liked to make “jokes” that could be offensive. I tried to ignore this and move on. During my first semester, I had good evaluations and Steve liked to show me off a lot as an excellent worker be helped to train. Things started to go…

Im not the one, ill rock your shit.

I returned to work today after taking last week off. I was date raped 2 weeks ago and the first week after it crippled me mentally so I decided to take a week sick (work are aware what happened) to try to process it and deal with police, hospital stuff etc. I had this morning booked off as overtime.I'd worked earlier this year as I had planned a trip away with a late return flight. It was approved and in the calendar for weeks. I went ahead with the trip, as it was visiting old friends and knew it would help me process recent events. My manager booked in a return to work catch up during my booked morning off. I emailed them last week to let them know it was during this time and if we could push it back slightly due to late flight, but said I was…

I work in HR right now but my career started out with various retail/service industry jobs so the get-to-work-at-all-costs mentality is still pretty rooted. But, I’ve always been pro-union and reading this sub over the past year has definitely helped me realize my worth as a human worker. Gotta micromanager of a boss who has a very strong personality and has probably sniffed me out as weak due to the fact that I am not good at pushing back or standing up for myself in the face of conflict. Nevertheless, I do valuable and dependable work even if I’m not the most bad-ass trailblazer in the place. Got lit up on Friday for not taking good enough notes at a meeting last week. I was informed that the purpose of note taking is to capture the content of the meeting (I’m no Einstein but I did graduate summa cum laude…

(Posting for my friend in this situation) His boss wants him to write up a step by step list of how to run different reports on the computer and how he goes about making formulas. He asked him to write all formulas down and to save the document with formulas so that it can be reperformed. When he came to the job, no one provided this for him and he created this workpapers in excel and the formulas. Is it a bad idea to give them a step by step list? Also, the boss wants to sit with him to watch what he inputs into excel. Is this weird? How should he go about this situation?
