Antiwork

I’ve told my boss time and time agajn that I’ve needed to take time off and that I’m seriously burnt out. She never listens, and does this to my other coworkers who have also said they have needed time off for whatever legitimate reasons and she just does not care. She went and scheduled me Monday-Friday the entire month of April and that leaves me absolutely no time to do the things that I need to go. I’m going through a crisis right now and need an insane amount of therapy and help but she literally does not care nor listens and now I’m stuck working the entire fucking month of April where as her fucking “friend” that she recently hired gets a full two weeks off so the two can fuck off on vacation together. I have 45 hours in vacation time and now she’s giving me bullshit and…

“talk to a lawyer” is bad advise. Don't waste your time talking to a lawyer if you've worked for a large company or state or federal agency. Essentially, we peasants don't have rights. The reason i say that is, if you have worked for a large corporation or agency, its more than likely: 1.) if the case doesn't pay attorneys wont take it 2.) THERE IS A CONFLICT Most attorneys work for money. Employees don't make enough money to retain attorneys. Companies do. So what companies have done is, hire attorneys at least once from every employment firm in the state or surrounding states. What this does is it creates a conflict: A firm can't represent you if they have worked for a client in the past or currently. Another thing is, in order for a claim to be heard with the court, evidence is required. No coworker is going…

I thought I would post this here because it’s antiwork & we know all the BS qualifications job listings ask for. I’ve been applying to dozens of jobs that aren’t particularly difficult (office management, receptionist, front-desk organization types), but I have absolutely no experience in these types of jobs. I had to take a break from uni & I’m trying to get out of the endless cycle of retail job after retail job, but now that I’m starting to hear back from employers, I’m starting to freak out. Everybody I know who has graduated university had at least some white lies on their resumes for jobs they weren’t entirely qualified for & told me to do the same, but what now?

I'm quitting my job without notice, and it's bothering me more than I hoped. My current job is a grueling 12 hour night shifts, I have only been at this job for a month, the place is chaotic, I have only been trained about 30% of my job and cannot do large portions of my work. I have been offered and accepted a career opportunity with a State Agency protecting the welfare of at risk individuals. This position pays $7/Hour more than my current job, has better hours, and has superb benefits. Not to mention, I get to use my college degree as opposed to not using it in my current position. Why do I feel like I owe so much to a company that I barely have worked for and has been a turbulent month?

I’ was a butcher at my uncles grocery store he had a partner with him that owned the store as well that never liked me. The store was suppose to close in July but instead my uncles partner basically paid my uncle out and found a new partner. No notice or anything the owner calls and says the stores sold and you can’t work overnight anymore but I still have a job. I agree to working days and go in the last 2 days and worked. After leaving work I get a call from the owner saying the meat department payroll is too high and We’d like to move you to grocery at a 10$ pay cut. He couldn’t just fire me he had to do some loophole so I don’t get unemployment. I guess that’s life Side note the owner has been going in and deducting hours from employees…

“Demand for US labor has rebounded strongly as the economy climbed out of the hole caused by the pandemic. The need for workers has greatly exceeded supply, with almost two job openings in place for every unemployed person, giving job seekers options and leading to strong wage growth.”

This movie seems to somewhat romanticize the grind, when I first watched it around 10 years ago I remember feeling very inspired by it. But nowadays, after rewatching, it is closer to a horror movie.
