Antiwork

Thoughts? Ideas?

Today in a meeting at the beginning of the work day, a manager in my department of my workplace said the phrase “stop complaining, it's a part-time job” which had me quite angry to be honest, and lead to me and one of my coworkers discussing some of our managers. During this conversation, my coworker told me that they heard the director of our department call us “LIPs” meaning “Least Important People” as well as saying “A monkey could do it” and I am seething.

Hello!! I have a question regarding tipping laws and regulations. I work at a new ice cream/over-the-top-shake shop that opened approximately 4 months ago, and I was super excited because the owners seemed really nice, they're young (mid twenties) so I clicked with them well. When I started working, they asked me about tips and said “if we gave everyone the tips all the time, this would be a $30 an hour job!” (I get paid $13 an hour, same as everyone, minimum wage in my state [UT] is 7.25$) Me, not knowing the laws and knowing we were new and probably wouldn't get much business to give me enough wages on tips (they only based the $30 on opening weekend, when in reality it was dead a lot of the time), and also sort of trying to just please the owners, nodded and agreed with them and as such…

Actually, my only problem with them is that they let the manager do whatever he wants. The department I currently work in has 3 people in it, myself included, after our fourth person quit at the end of January. After hearing about this, I decided to let my manager know in advance that I was actively looking for another job and he should really look into hiring more people for our department. He said okay then and things kept going as they were; I never heard anything about looking for new hires. Someone in another department filed a complaint to OHS (Alberta, Canada) and they…

Hi. I have been working a night job for some months and I don't want to disclose too much information. I felt that the company executives wanted to lead he company in the right direction and start a new on good basis. Anyway I don't to want invest myself into a job and do more than I should if nobody is gonna be grateful. So far they kinda are… But I don't want to feel exploited, and doing the mistake of being exploited.

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but im (26 yo) a bartender and have always been in the service industry. I want to get a wfh job during the day to try and build my savings but i want something where i can get away with doing as little as possible…no sales, excessive calling, etc lol. I dont understand anything about the language used for office jobs so im just looking for input on which job titles i should be searching for. Data entry sounds like what im looking for but i really have no idea what that job actually is. If i should post this somewhere else lmk!
