Antiwork

Discussion is futile without naming companies and reaching out to investor relations or blowing up their twitter.

I work as an analyst and this is my first real job out of college; been here about two years now, pretty much being WFH the whole time. It was a new field to me but I was catching on quick and even began to Quality Control others within my first year. About six months ago I was asked if I wanted to help train some new people internationally and be sent overseas to help set up and train a new office, but of course Delta happened at that time and things got cancelled. Instead, they had me become a team lead for their international project remotely and put me in charge of a group of 50+ analysts, making work plans, ticket assignments, conducting trainings, running meetings, doing one-on-one “remediations”, pretty much all manager responsibilities. The thing is, I’m still just considered to be at the associate level officially and…

This is everywhere because I am emotional and pissed. I am currently working in a pretty small kitchen, with mostly teenagers. When I was first hired I was told I was filling the sous position and that I would be getting a raise after a month once I can prove myself. Awesome! There was a miscommunication somewhere I guess and that title quickly disappeared and so now I am just “second in charge”. Whatever. Most of the older people who work in the kitchen work mornings doing prep besides for Friday-Sunday when we serve lunch. Of course, I work nights because I can work two to three stations at once. We just got done a $6k night. The start of my shift the first thing that happened was my “executive chef” pulled me into dry storage to tell me that there is a new sous chef. I, of course get…

Long story short: Joined big tech company less than a month ago. Boss assigned me last-minute, non-critical task to have done by the end of the day but didn't tell me to send it to him. He sends me a message the next day telling me he didn't get anything from my last night. I see the message late due to tech issues (have done everything I can, all I can do is wait for response from IT). He's been nice so far but he sends me back a bitter message saying I need to get it resolved by the end of the week and start taking accountability and ownership. I send him the task, he ignores my explanation, so I set up a meeting to explain myself and he tells me he's upset that I'm not being a “leader” and that I waited two weeks after my start date…

If you're doing what you can to put food on the table for the people you love, that's something to be proud of.

I'm sorry, but I don't want to be an emperor That's not my business I don't want to rule or conquer anyone I should like to help everyone, if possible Jew, Gentile, black man, white We all want to help one another Human beings are like that We want to live by each other's happiness Not by each other's misery We don't want to hate and despise one another In this world there is room for everyone And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way Greed has poisoned man's souls, has barricaded the world with hate, Has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want Our knowledge has made us cynical Our cleverness, hard and…

This happened last year but this group inspired me to share this. I am a personal trainer in Canada. It was a hard enough business before the pandemic, but has been damn near impossible making a living through the lockdowns. When gyms were closed, I asked my manager if it was going to be an issue with our non-compete to start doing online training while the gym was closed. He assured me it wasn’t and was a good idea. When the gym reopened they saw that I had created an online platform to sell training on my own. He all of a sudden was surprised and said I would have to brand it as world gym and give them a percentage of the profits.. I was pissed and said that was out of the question. They had already terminated my position as headcoach of the CrossFit knockoff part of the…
