Antiwork

I make exceptional money. I get some PTO, never get to use it. The company offers 401k match. Which a lot of companies do not do. I work 6 days some times 7 days a week. I've had months where like recently I've only had 1 day off. Like recently I then took a Saturday, called in so it would give me a 2 day weekend. The general attitude I returned too was like I was a terrible employee with attendance issues. Other than my time off this year incredibly sick with COV-19, which I literally took 5 days off for. Was getting called all day each and every day. Came in the first 24hrs after no fever due to pressure from higher ups and looked like death for a week was still dizzy all the time and weak. They used my PTO for this without asking. Last year I…

I still haven’t gotten my pay despite my managers assuring me that I’ll be paid on the 15th of each month.

I worked at the movie theater in high-school. It was a great job for someone that age, free movies and popcorn (great for dates) and $11 an hour back in 04. Everything was great until i turned 18. You see at 18 they could make me stay until 1am to close and as we had a lot of young people i was one of the few old enough to do this. So they kept scheduling me 4 days a week closing at 1am only to have to get up for school at 6am. This was not a good situation and i told my head manager i would do 2 max, any more on the schedule and ill walk. She laughed and waved me off. Fast forward a week and its Friday night (busy night at the theater). We have a new trainee on and we are down a man from…

Yesterday was V Day and the boss texted my partner to come in 30 min earlier for prep. Usually the shift starts at 3, service doesn't start until 5, so he didn't show at 2:30 because there is enough time to prep and just pretended he didn't see the text. It's a local restaurant with a full bar. They got slammed hard on V Day and my partner is the sole bartender for the night, and shares the tips equally with the servers. It kinda sucks because he doesn't have backup or help, and he doesn't really get paid more on busy nights because there are more servers to share the pool. He was already ready to look for something new, but then boss withheld $30 for 30 min he didn't show before service. He was there through all of service and until midnight to finish cleanup, and boss still…

My coworker and I were both written up for missing a meeting and because our new boss didn’t like us…I was beaten down and decided to just kiss ass. My coworker didn’t. My issue went away, but hers was escalated three days before she was to leave the team. She can end up with a demotion, suspension, or termination…the funny thing this is a government job and they can’t find anyone because the pay and benefits suck. I am constantly surprised by management’s ego to shoot itself in the foot. The sad thing is that the community will be punished because it takes at least a year to get someone truly trained.

It’s paragraphs! Please use them people. Some of you have very interesting stories and situations to share. Using paragraphs makes it readable, and easy on the eyes. You can write the exact same story without paragraph breaks and it makes the person seem crazy, and literally looks like some epic rant. Do it. DO IT NAUGH
