Antiwork

I work at a store and every time they see me using the chair provided to use a computer that is not meant to be used while standing They tell me off about it. I still use it I’m not gonna crane my neck to look the computer

My work has decided we need a morale boost. I think that meets their quota for being right once a year. Now, they could offer us more money, though if they did that, the shock might give me a heart attack, so I can see why they don't do that. They are just looking out for my health. Maybe they could be realistic about the workload. Nope that's not happening. Back of the micromanagement? HA! Engage in constructive criticism? Why bother when mean and nasty criticism is more fun. ​ So, this is what they came up with. Arrived in my work email this morning. “Mark will start hosting a Zoom dance party every Friday from 1 – 1:15 PM, as a morale booster.  He will play popular tunes, i.e., Motown, disco, classic rock.  And now, you are invited!!  Actual dancing and webcam on is optional.  Disclaimer: Not responsible for…

So I work as a social worker at a nursing home specifically long term residents. Today I had essentially a medicaid application/ legal document pushed on me to complete with a resident by the business office woman who doesn’t want to do her own job today because she’s “sick and isn’t even supposed to be here”. I literally couldn’t complete this if I tried and was told “well it’s your job”. I have never done this before so this is news to me. Plus, we need a notary to complete this. Business office woman is one, won’t do it because of above reasoning. Two other notaries in the building read the paperwork and said no not signing it. At this point, this is causing me so much anxiety that I’m ready to just say “write me up for insubordination, I don’t care” and just refuse to do it. Like I…

So this is a throwaway account because some of my coworkers know my reddit. tl;dr at end. This is a lot. Background here. I am very good at my job. I make the company a lot of money. I am friends with the Nars brand reps, and they value and respect me since I am very knowledgable and good. We have even gone out a couple of times. I have made connections. Also, I have gotten a ton of glowing reviews from clients. I was sick w/ covid, didn't take care of myself and so it came back, worse. So, I was very sick for a while 2 weeks ago, and even couldn't talk, yet my job requires me to talk all day, with clients and management. My friend and I were directly exposed to someone with covid. We had the same exact symptoms, at the same time. She tested…

I left a job late last year for a variety of reasons but the main one being they were exploiting me. I decided (along with my entire team that quit too) that the next job I went into would be something I relatively enjoy, with nice coworkers who wouldn't expect me to give them my soul in exchange for barely minimum wage.. I'm quickly coming to the realization that a place like that simply doesn't exist. I've had multiple awful interviews, walked out of jobs a day in, had trial shifts that turned out to be horrendous, I had one interview that seemed incredible and was everything I wanted, it went well (or so I thought) but then I never heard back from them. I just feel deflated. I'm getting sick of putting myself out there and getting nothing in return. I know I'm a good worker. I know what…
