Antiwork

When I finished writing this as a comment i knew I had to make it a post too to give people ideas and let them know they have power Post link here for more context https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/t4o9ej/a_competing_company_is_offering_us_20_percent/ “Ok tell me how much does management get paid and then their bosses and so on Do you have good management who try and care? Then tell me how much u get paid and the other employees If they make so much more than you by tons and can afford to pay you more then here’s what you could do •First get a gage on how many people are thinking about working for the other company •Second get all the ones you feel that will totally go into a messaging group to talk things out •Third if you have many of them on your side you then go talk with the other company with…

Last time I had a minimum wage job was in 2003, so it has been a while. But the other day my wife and I were by a restaurant that wasn't open yet and we saw workers congregating. Which reminded me of those scenarios. I remember we used to show up and wait for the manager to arrive and open the door for us to be able to clock in (clock in box was inside). When the manager is late and we are on time, that was basically lost wages. Has this been fixed in the almost 20 years since I experienced it?

Curious because as far as I know, when it comes to days off for Christmas, if it ends up on a weekend, we get the Monday or Friday off. So how come some companies don’t do the same when it’s comes to Easter since it’s on a Sunday?

Just wanted to say thanks for the absolute hookup! Stopped in for some lunch grub for myself and my SO and on top of letting me know before hand about pricing/portion changes this legend completely ignored those changes and just started stuffing wings in a box and labeled it at the cheapest price Made our day especially because we had just been saying how bs it was that Wal-Mart decided to increase prices for stricter/smaller portions on our favorite deli wings. I hope to see more and more “for the people” worker retaliation against these “need to see higher profits no matter what” companies.

I worked at a Phone service company when I was 19m. Along with phones I had to sell a “tv service”, well I was particularly good at selling this and when the beginning of the month rolled around I was ready. From the 1st-9th I set up 39 accounts( mind you our store quota was 20 over 9 reps so I thought I was fine.) So I stopped pushing that product since I was well above the quota. Come around the 29th and my District Manager was in and my manager and the DM called me into the office. When I sit down they start talking about “oh you haven't set up any “tv service accounts” since the 9th” and how I need to work harder on trying to sell this in the future. They ended up writing me up even though I was soaring above everyone's quota. I quit…

Have you ever had a boss that just, disappeared forever? I’m leading a software implementation project and a team of about 6 people. I’m keeping most of the show going, but obviously the other 6 are doing a lot of work. I do a lot of client interaction. I also do most of the interaction with people who work for another consulting company on the project. I plan on disappearing soon, and not going to give anybody at work a heads up. One day I just won’t be there. I’m treated pretty well and enjoy my job, but I can’t share with coworkers that I’m going to disappear. I think a lot about what would end up happening when I do this. Would they figure it out in hours or would it take days. Would they meet deadlines with me gone. I’ve also considered sending a farewell email in the…

I’ve been fortunate to have a desk job for most of my life: I was surprised when my friend told me their retail job keeps them part time but “oncall”. They explained the time while oncall is unpaid but must be available in case a manager needs to backfill empty shifts. This effectively makes scheduling a second job hard because they have a part time job which occupies 60 hours of their week. Is this common in the service industry now? I’m disgusted by the practice and think it needs to be abolished immediately. If you ask for a person’s time, you must pay them. If a business doesn’t want to pay people to be oncall they should staff their shifts with enough people to accommodate call outs.

My job currently pays me minimum wage for my 10 minute breaks instead of the wage I make when I’m “actually working” and thinks giving me 1 free month of BetterHelp is sufficient payment.
