Antiwork

I'm a single parent and I've been struggling for awhile, my job barely makes enough to live on but enough to prevent me from being able to qualify for several programs outside a couple, I can't get loans, I usually don't have enough to buy myself much of anything, and I'm constantly worried that one day, some emergency cost may knock me over the edge financially, especially since I have health issues. However, recently I received a call from a new job. After a year of applying and working hard for 2 years struggling at a low wage, I got a job offer opportunity paying 59K a year! The job was full-time and I quickly accepted. I was told what I would do, and that I would have training and I could work a schedule that wouldn't interfere with my life as a parent. Sadly, yesterday I learned I was…

First off, I understand why we pay taxes and I'm not arguing with that for anyone that is coming in hot off my title. What really drives me up a wall is having to pay software or some 'free' software that only covers Federal if you make under a certain thresh hold. I mean what the hell. I read about and have friends who pay nothing in Europe for basic returns and in the US of A baby it's a pay day for all these scammy software companies to make a quick buck off people. Something needs to change here.

Located here in Minnesota. That might be true, but you can almost guarantee their raises are shit or non existent (“we pay more than the union so you’re already ahead!” or something along those lines) and the benefits probably suck too.

While interviewing for a job recently, I asked about car break-ins and thefts, considering the sketchy nature of the neighborhood. That prompted the business owner to go off on this crazy rant, beginning with “I don't know your politics, but I'd guess we have similar views….” and he proceeded to go off about how slavery wasn't the big thing history makes it out to be and that it was never a racial thing, there have been plenty of white slaves through history and there were blacks who owned slaves in the south and it's just the the left pushing the the anti slavery rhetoric in an effort to get a big handout in the form of reparations. A little stunned, I just said that I prefer to keep politics and work separate and did what I could to end the interview. The next day, I called and declined the job.…

Feels illegal or something, but it probably isn’t. They said it was because we don’t look professional, having our phones out while wearing the uniform. Problem is, I work in a water park and the break room is tiny and kinda gross, and if we want food we kinda have to spend like 10 minutes in line at one of the food booths. Sucks not being able to use your phone during that time, solely because a guest got a little upset about it. Also it’s our time? We aren’t working at that time, why does it matter? Idk just seems weird. Love the job, hate when I get reminded it’s a job with out of touch managers.

I swear, every single time I'm supposed to have a day off, they're trying to add me to the schedule to work that day. I've barely had a day off since I started. It's SO annoying.

Because me personally, I could give a rat's ass about who the hell is my manager at this point bro can go kick rocks barefucking footed. If I had the legal chance to shove my fist in my new manager's face at my job, id do it with absolutely no fucking problem. The new year just started and usually when you dont get any write ups u get the best raises the following year. This new guy rolls up and 2 days after he was hired he wrote me and 3 other team members up for the most braindead of fucking shit there is known to man. One guy came back from his break 2 minutes late, write up One guy was in the bathroom too long taking a shit and he felt they were doing that to get out of work, write up One was answering a phone call…
