Antiwork

So to start off I accepted a retail job with the promise of 40 hours a week minimum and recently mine and the majority of my coworkers hours have been being cut by huge amounts. I on average worked 40 hours sometimes 45 hours a week now I’m lucky to get 30 at the moment, my manager said sales traffic is slow during the winter so we’ve been working less but the hours are not cutting it and I have fees and bills to pay what should I do? (This is my first time working retail btw )

I have another job (not work free yet) but I just said “nah” to the one I'm working now. I actually was being a two timing player the whole time, just using the fast casual restaurant for their money I needed before the other thing started.. And the restaurant wanted my company lol. Still feel guilty though. For being a ho. Any ways I can not feel like a ho?

In my former, mid-level corporate job this tagline was thrown out to employees All. The. Time. This was uttered any time we made an investment in a new technology, CRM, call coaching technology, whatever. “We’re investing in you to make YOUR job easier.” Right. Let me interpret: “We’ve bought some new sh*t that is supposed to make you more productive. Your call volume should now also increase 20%, your output 20%, and you should be very happy we created this system so you can do more of what we want. Because of this, we’ll be able to reduce managers and increase your work load.” I left because you paid my employees that I managed literally double my salary. So yea. Take your tools and GFY

My job has run me down to the point that I don’t even feel like I’m good at any type of work. I feel like I’ll be bad at any job. I’m at the point where I feel like a failure overall. Logically I know I really have been set up to fail, not purposefully but still, and that it would’ve been hard to do much better. The people who are disappointed in me did not put me in a position to succeed even remotely. I’m in a hybrid position where both halves should be FT jobs. Even if that was the case, the 2 FT employees couldn’t meet the goals I’ve been facing. So much of what has went wrong has been fully out of my hands but it’s held against me. I’m doing everything I can and for reasons out of my control, there aren’t results to show…

So I have about 50 guys that work under me for a multi billion dollar global company traveling the world for weeks at a time working in harsh conditions for very long hours. Pay starts around 50k a year and a select few are making close to 90k. I’m at a site and over hear a bunch of these guys talking about how they aren’t getting a pay raise this year and also didn’t receive one last year. These young men practically give up there home lives for this company. I’ve seen them work long days in -30 degree weather and 120 degree weather outside. I’ve seen them exhausted after spending hours in a room where the ambient temperature was over 180. This company recently bought a large competitor for a little over 1 billion in cash and won’t pay these guys a fair market wage for what they are…

Just like everyone else, we've been having staffing issues at my work. They finally got this guy hired, but on a contingency basis because it was going to take to long to get his background report back. Dudes been here four weeks, and in that time we've managed to get some new faces and are basically fully staffed finally. We'll guess what showed up and reared its ugly head, his background report. They let him go immediately and I'm writing about about 5 minutes after the fact. Was good enough to carry us through the hardest times, wasn't good enough to stay though.

I have to reiterate that a labor movement should include keeping prices under control. The fox news interview could be dismissed by their ordinary audience as some “leftist agenda” which has no legitimate or worthy purpose; but to executives, shareholders and politicians, the emergence of any sort of labor movement is regarded as an utmost threat to… … the bottom line. Prices are jumping as a retaliatory act and being blamed on inflation–the usual scapegoat as if none of these corporate pigs have a hotline to Jamie Dimon. Keeping people on the hairline of destitution is nothing but profitable when the “essential worker” is working double shifts to keeping a roof over the head. Unions, fair work conditions, wages for prosperity and price control.
