Antiwork

This is coming from a place of frustration with non tech-savvy higher ups. I’ve basically had to train my manager how to navigate Excel and Outlook or take on projects that they’re too slow at because they’re not efficient with computers. I understand that it’s difficult for older people to get the hang of it. But at some point you have to make an effort to understand how computers work rather than rely on others to do things for you. If we’re having to take time to train leadership or literally do managers work then we should be compensated as such.

Spent two weeks in meetings and interviews for this position. Multi million dollar company. Have a verbal agreement as to what my contract will be, I help write the job description. They start trying to get me to work before anything has been signed. I put my foot down, say I can’t do any more until my contract is signed. Sounds good! They call in the next day to sign. Without explanation, they have set my rate at LESS THAN HALF of our agreement. I ask for clarification; they start in on how it’s a great opportunity, potential for growth, blah blah blah. On top of that they start mentioning other projects not even listed in the contract that would also be expected of me. I am so fucking insulted but I smile and nod through the meeting. Yep, sounds good boss. They ask if I’m ready to sign, I…

If you have worked entry level anywhere, wheather call centers, customer services, reception or retail… we all know how one lone karen can ruin everyone's day. we have all been dragged into bullshit meetings because some spiteful garbage person had a bad day and decided to take it out on the staff. complaints about nothing, things beyond our control, misunderstandings or reasonable responses to their bitter petulant behaviour have all affected us negatively. even when there is no managerial meeting or disciplinary or a manager or supervisor had out backs that one time… I know I remember those interactions over 15 years after and entry level positions wouldn't be half as bad if not for these animals. I would like to think everyone here can agree on this? so how many of you left a positive review? how many of you emailed head office about a positive interaction? how many…

This is C venues. They've been doing this for years. Festival “volunteers” are subjected to horrific working and living conditions and are boxed in by the fact that most of them are in company accomodation possibly without the means to escape home (generally London-area) until a pre-booked return ticket at the end of the season. ​ ​ https://preview.redd.it/55nvpq6ztmi81.png?width=1202&format=png&auto=webp&s=fc4ffe09786f469bab85db9b05de641b6b696979 https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/news/edinburgh-news/edinburgh-fringe-venue-firm-accused-23130671

They both fuck you badly… badum tsss

So I work at a big old retailer. Think the color red. My coworker, who I will call W for this, has been having issues lately. W is a kinda religious woman. She goes to church with her family every Sunday. Or at least she did until my work started being sh*tty. See we got hit by the “worker shortage” at my work so we all have to “buckle down”. The day they have the hardest time getting people is Sunday because, well, it's a religious area. And depending on what position you work the system won't allow you to change your availability to “cannot work [insert weekend day here]”. Or at least that's what they say. And I've actively heard them pull people into the office and threaten their jobs over working on Sundays. Things like “oh well you should have been written up for this but we will…
