Antiwork

I work at a large organization in a department responsible for regulating our Information Technology department (making sure they don’t spend to much of our budget, making sure our devices are in compliance). The IT guys don’t like what we do because we put limitations on them, but they are basically allowed to operate with impunity because they have access to our administrative passwords and accounts. Their idea of a good time is to mess with our mouse cursors or edit the code of our most frequently used department websites and tools so they act up or don’t work correctly. They even use our companies productivity software to monitor our conversations while we work from home and then they post memes about it all around our offices when they aren’t working remotely. Our team knows it is happening and have been reasonable with them about our expectations but this is…

I work as a detailer at a dealership of a major car manufacturer in rural America. With the recent rises in gas prices and the current inflation, it's getting harder (impossible) to stay afloat financially. I started work in September of last year at $13/hr with 2 years of collective experience. Recently the minimum wage has jumped from $11/hr to $12/hr, but my pay stayed at $13/hr. Right now we have one other worker in our department other than myself. We're supposed to have a team of 4. Since being here I've trained 3 other people, 2 of which no longer work for us. Since I've been here, I've been told multiple times by the sales team that our department has made a complete 180, and that it's nice to see people take pride in their work for a change. I've never asked for a raise a day in my…

So I don’t work a 9-5 job and I knew this already before signing the contract. I had a hard week, sleep deprived, and expect to work over the weekend as well. And that’s basically the same case for my colleagues (at least so they claimed). Today my manager asked me to take on another sh*t load of work. I argued with her and said no. She eventually backed down Thing is, I feel extremely guilty after refusing to do the extra work – guess someone else will eventually have to do it and make their life (even more) miserable. I just wonder if I should feel this way… I wanna protect myself from another sleep deprived week but that’s at the expense of other people… Guess since I’m posting here, I already know the answer somewhat…

We read every day hundreds of posts about how unsocial and slavery we are treated. Most companies just want to get their work done but without pay, or better we bring the money! Let's switch the perspective and narrow down what a perfect workplace would look like. Examples like 9-5, 3-4 days per week, full health care coverage, …. Every idea is welcome!

I’m stuck on the ass end of capitalism. I either gotta rip off my clothes and run into the woods or sign in at 8:30 Monday morning. The choice is mine every weekend. That is all.

So I had an interview this morning that I feel went pretty well. The job sounds easy and it's something I've done before, so I'm confident. Do I want to work? Well, no, obviously, but unfortunately my bills say otherwise. But there were some reddish flags. He said “we're like a family” in the office and I visibly cringed (fortunately he didn't see it, it was a Zoom interview and he was looking away). Then I decided to look up the company on glassdoor and such and the only two reviews for it were 2 stars and under. Honestly, I don't care about this job that much. I don't care about any job. I just want to be able to live. I have another interview next Friday for a position I wouldn't mind actually having, though that one I'm not as confident about getting. I guess… If I get this…

Let me preface with I just started this job. I hated it since day one but gave it my all. I had a personal emergency yesterday with a power outage and couldn't get wifi until a friend picked me up from suburbia. Even though I had completed all of my work before the outage and pulled late nights these past two weeks my boss is not only not understanding but also gave me a verbal warning. I had been thinking about resigning and have had a slew of interviews lined up. We just had a conversation and I am tempted to resign asap JUST TO STAY I”VE DONE IT. if i don't i can wait to be fired to reap unemployment….. if i am patient but i currently hate the whole team and everyone.

Hello, I need some suggestions and ideas. I am wanting to organize my workplace, there is a TON of animosity towards the low wages we are earning, and the absolute disregard we receive from management about it. Nobody wants to openly organize because they will get fired on the spot due to our states labor laws. I think it would help us get started if they see a lot of other people showing interest in organizing, and also give us a bigger advantage before we go 'public' with our real names etc. Can somebody suggest an easily downloadable app for both android/apple that would allow for large group chats, preferably with the ability to add different channels? I don't want to use discord, I would prefer a more privacy oriented option. Wickrme would be great if it had an option to advertise rooms publicly. ​ Also I am designing a…
