Antiwork

Hi, all! I used to work for a foodservice company called Compass Group. I was headhunted after graduating, and spent five years serving as a traveling manager and fill-in. I moved across states 4 times in as many years, and basically acted as Director for any account that had lost someone suddenly or needed guidance. The job was crazy stressful, but the money was great and for a time, I loved what I did. Last year, a permanent position opened up in Nebraska, and I was pushed to apply for it. I did, and I got it. Signed a 5-year contracy, bought a house, and moved across the country again. Six months into my employment, my contract was terminated. No one would tell me what was going on for nearly 2 months. I only finally got answers by calling my old boss and begging, through tears, for him to give…

Worked at this company for a year. Started with a temp agency, so technically, only 9 months directly for them. The way they do PTO is that 10 hours are accrued per month. They give you 120 hours in bulk in october. I saw my balance and thought, “Well, hell, better use it. Surely I'll get more through the year. ” Long story short, it didn't work out that way. I used 110 hours of it (between two weeks requested and sick/out days) and figured out I was tired of them and put in my notice.

I asked if I could make an arrangement. They said nah. I said f*ck you guys and left. Never…

How fucking delusional can they be? I make $13/hr and inflation match would be like a .70/hr raise and even that is pitiful considering how quickly basic necessities are becoming more expensive. And to sit through a zoom call of a CEO telling us how proud he is of the company being able to give “sufficient cost of living raises that exceed the rate of inflation” was infuriating to me and my coworkers. What fucking inflation calculation are they using to come up with a 2% raise?! Especially when the CEO's town hall was shot where we can clearly see him in his cushy, high rise office with a full bar in the background. Clearly they don't even care about optics since they think we can't do anything at all. Every time I expect the worst and every time they underperform even that. If I didn't need this job to…
