Antiwork

They keep the conversations illusive and un-challenging. It’s often like pulling teeth to find cohesive information on what’s happening and why.

A co worker at our other facility died Monday. I found out from my boss. Smaller company with less than 200 employees total. Everyone is just working like business as usual. People didn't even know when I asked about it. Fuck work

I've had 2 coworkers get fired over the last couple weeks. One for scratching lottery tickets on the job and one for ringing themselves up items (at some point I have done both of these). Not necessarily anything bad. I just noticed on the store app that my option for my employee discount is gone. They're probably gonna get rid of me too for some reason, could be related to the $5 tip I took a week ago. They have fired people in the past for accepting tips. Should I quit immediately to save face? I know that they're going to wait until the end of my shift to fire me if they do. I want to have the last laugh.

Surely it can't be healthy to be zapped awake from deep sleep from alarms every single day? Sleep is so precious for our health yet we need to force our bodies out of sleep everyday just to work. I always think this might be having more negative effects than we think. Possibly contributing to alzheimers? Neurological disorders? etc. Some people also naturally just need lots of sleep. And it's sort of impossible to do so unless you fall asleep shortly after you get home – but then you are only giving yourself like 2 hrs a day to yourself awake. Man, work is mad annoying and the health effects are concerning.

I work at a restaurant that’s had bad business lately, so much so, business is often at a stand still. There will literally be hours of no customers, but the store remains open, and two employees have to stay there at all times. I should note all of the staff works long hours (usually any where between 8-12). My manager recently put up a sign stating it’s okay if we want sit down (how generous ), but we have to clock out for an unpaid break and can clock back in when we stand up. Obviously we don’t sit when there are things to be done, but the other night, we had five customers within four hours. The place was scrubbed top to bottom. Prep was done. There was literally nothing else to do. My manager understands that sometimes there’s nothing to do, and we can stand there doing nothing,…

Those hiring won’t admit they didn’t want to take responsibility for their big plans, but lacked understanding regarding the details.

I drove almost 4 hours yesterday (due to traffic) to interview for a staff accountant posistion only to be declined an offer due to “not fitting their corporate culture”. I was told all the work could be done remotetly but some seniors didn't like that I would only be in the office a couple times of month instead of several times a week. Everyone agreed that the remote work and in office work is identical but it was still somehow an issue. I just feel like so much of my time was wasted.

I am Ukrainian, and I work at a super super tiny startup in the US. I’ve always loved my company specifically because of the management. But they’ve gone above and beyond and I’d like to share somewhere because I am overwhelmed with emotion. This has been a terrible fucking time as a Ukrainian. I don’t think I need to expand on this. My bosses have not only been insanely understanding and kind, but today, they let me donate a sizable sum to organizations of my choosing. They didn’t want it publicized or anything else. they pretty much just told me, an employee that’s turned pretty fucking useless this past week due to grief, to go pour money to help out where I think it will be best. I feel safe in this workplace. I’m beyond grateful. There is hope. I pray for their success and hope I can contribute in…
