Antiwork

I don’t accept cookies, cheap candy, pizza, or cringe insincere thank you cards… I accept descent PAY! Period. Keep your ‘dog treats’ for your dogs, don’t ask me to beg!

Working from home might seem like a good idea right now, but you are inviting the vampire into your house. Now you will be obligated to make your house a proffessional atmosphere. Your lifestyle will need to be one that conforms to company standards as well. Oh and dont even get me started on 'work life balance'. That won't exist anymore. If you are not working while at home you will be stealing company time.

I want to quit one of my jobs to go to another but I want to avoid any type of confrontation, how bad is it if I just leave my associates discount cards and badge with a note saying that I quit and just not coming back? I'm on shift but I do plan on finishing my current tasks before I do anything rash.

Long story. Bear with me here! I work in warehousing/distribution for a certain Arkansas-based retail behemoth that shall remain nameless. On Monday we had a meeting in which our wage increases for the year were revealed. The General Manager of the facility was pleased to announce (to applause and back-patting) that we are to receive the largest raises he has ever seen the company give: $1.10/hr. for most positions (including mine) and $1.70/hr. for some support roles that had been passed over by previous raises. Okay, not bad! Certainly better than nothing. 7.5% inflation kinda negates that $1.10 but I digress… However, the GM went on to say that the quarterly incentive program for hourly employees is being scrapped; a move he wholeheartedly agrees with because bad employees had been affecting how much of a bonus the rest of us received all along. The bonus system was dependent on each…

An excellent employee of mine put in his two weeks' notice. He said he'd stay if we matched the offer. Unfortunately I think he was BS'ing the salary and my Fortune 500 company requires an offer letter to match. He can't produce an offer letter for what he's asking to stay- and I need him to have one so I can match it. Anyone have an offer letter from a manufacturing company? For $31 an hour? I want this guy to get paid… Edit: To be clear- he asked to have $31 an hour to stay, but I don't think the offer he got was $31 from the other company, which may be why I don't have an offer letter. I don't think he ever really stated “they offered me $31/hr”. ​

Background: I'm a “supervisor” with a team of 5 people including me. We work 12 hour shifts, 24/7 operation. I say “supervisor” with quotes becuase, although I've been filling the role for almost a year now, It won't be official until April. My team consists of me (30) and 4 others who age range 34-71. Two day shifters, two night shifters and one swing. The older members, more so the 71 year old, constantly takes sick days/fmla and i end up covering her hours. For reference, 10 days in the last 6 months (and growing) with 4 late arrivals as well (1-2hours late) and thats just the 71yr. Tonight, the 71yr is out on extended leave due to a recent injury (thursday) and another member is taking a day off for bereavement, unfortunately. I have one member currently working day shift 12 hrs, so that leaves me and one other,…

Hi, Reddit. I notice that most of the post come from within the USA so don’t know how relevant my post will be coming from Sweden. But I found inspiration within this subreddit to stand up more for myself and the poor working conditions of summer jobs and I feel the need to share my experience because sometimes I doubt if it is me who expect too much or that I am indeed working in poor conditions. Judge for yourself (also, excuse my english. I’m not a native): So the thing is, I am currently looking for summer jobs and desperatly don’t want to go back to elder care (but I fear I might have to if I don’t get accepted anywhere else and get very anxious about it because I do NOT want to return to the same work place). I have no problem with the work itself, it…
