Antiwork

Hey frens, It's been awhile hasn't it? Anyways I'll try to keep as sweet and simple as I can make it. TJX companies (the company known for Marshall's, TJ Maxx, and Homegoods retrospectively) have been a subject by current and former associates, CECs, and Managers due to unethical working conditions, overstess in the workplace, bourgeoisie like system created by corporate, etc. Not to say that every district representing TJX companies is like this, but a lot of them. A lot of us have the ability to go and seek out other ventures as we should (and a lot of us definitely would for how deplorable this company is); however because of their alleged activity of entrapment, manipulation, gaslighting, and lying to other employers to the point of being only hire able to their sister stores, it is impossible to escape their graspe without any form of prestige. So I wanna…

Not sure if this is the right subreddit, but I'll try to make it quick. It's my first job (well, internship) at a real corporate setting, and my boss is the kind of person to undermine his subordinates' position in front of their coworkers. I've seen it more times than I can count, for small mistakes he can just point out without making a scene. Anyway, this has recently happened to me, and I don't want to be a pushover and let it slide, but I'm also terrible at navigating tricky social situations. How should I go about telling him that he can't treat his workers this way, without getting confrontational and escalating the situation? Is it possible to get him to treat humans with some basic decency and respect? So far I've never seen anyone try it. Worst case scenario I get fired, it's not like I need a…

As the title, my colleagues all think my attitude to work is awful. I'm convinced they're wrong. I hate working and through a combination of some side gigs / savings / early pensions I've gone down to part time. I'm financially worse off but home life is more important to me. My colleagues can't understand this, they claim I'm not committed to the job ..I'm not. When I'm off work I don't answer the phone and don't answer work emails…again they complain. While they do work at weekends and on an evening I just refuse. I literally do bare minimum and less if I can. It's a job, not a calling. I get paid and leave, it's causing a lot of friction in the office but I think they're all nuts. If you need to work full time then fine…I did it for years myself but now..screw that. I owe…

I've been at my job for 8.5 years. I just put my 2 weeks notice in last Wednesday. The schedule's been published for next week already and my name's not on it. I wasn't even notifed that I wouldn't even be on the schedule to finish up my time. I feel like my 2 weeks isn't being honored. I'm sure other people won't necessarily care, but in a way I do. Luckily, I don't need this job anymore, because I already have another job to take it's place. IMO, it's just rude given I've been working with the company for so long and I felt I was a good employee. I always showed up for my shift on time, never called in, or if I was called in I came in on my days off, etc.

title. several of my coworkers have mocked me for being tired as i am new (started about a month ago). they pride themselves on working far more hours than me and not being tired. my tiredness has no effect on my job. i keep up the pace and i get the job done efficiently, but my energy is drained after i have to face customers for 8+ hours a day several days a week- repeating the same 3-4 phrases consistently. i just don’t understand toxic workaholic culture and i’m very tired.
