Antiwork

Every time people struggle: ” You are just wasting your money – stop buying avocado toast and everything else you dont really need and live like a beggar. With that you can save like 300 to 400 Dollars a month. This will enable you to perhaps buy a house after 40 years”. Meanwhile rich people: “Oh this car is nice and costs just 80 000 – it will be a fine addition to my collection of 10 cars I allready own”. Its a joke – its an insult – that such people want to give us advice how not to save money.

So I’ve been at this job for about a month and a half now, I had just lost my previous one due to unfortunate circumstances so I applied as a temp at this medical facility Everything was fine for about the first two weeks, I had applied for the department of my choice and had been set up to train with a line lead. However, as the third week rolled around I got pulled from my training and had been put in an entirely different department to do something I had no training for. When I came back the following day, I had moved lines with a different lead but no trainer. I was told to just do what I was doing, even though I had told them that I had not finished my training, so I’m response the lead messages the supervisor to figure it out. They end up…

Just like much of the rest of the US, where I am further North, we got a pretty heavy ice storm. Like, everything and I mean everything was covered in ice. The shift usually leaves together at the end of the day, and on the way out, our plant supervisor warned everyone that passed him to be careful of the ice, walk slow, be safe, etc. My coworker walking in front of me made a joke about slipping and getting workers comp (didn't hear exactly what she said) while walking in front of the PS. His response was “I'm not worried about workers comp, I'm worried about people coming into work”. There are many reasons why nobody at our facility likes him. This is just one. Wow.

They straight up do not care. I have my CDL so I can have a job by end of day tomorrow. I’m one of two people that do my job. The other guy covers my days off. So my role is kind of important. Me not showing up will definitely piss them off if nothing else. Is them screwing up like this something I can get them in trouble for? Also, if they try writing me up, what happens if I don’t sign it?
