Antiwork

The hospital I use to work in had not discussing your pay in writing many years ago. This place is still the only thriving business within 50 miles in any direction and very political. Employees are too afraid to lose their jobs to say anything. Especially about the 3% raise cap they installed before I left. A decade later not discussing pay is no longer in writing but it is something you learn there very quickly. They have 300+ full time employees with okay benefits., meaning insurance with impossible deductibles just like every other business these days. I don't see how this will ever change and it has a lot of multi-generational employees going back decades with all support staff up to nurse's aids still barely making it. Off my own topic but relevant to these bad salaries: I have no idea how anyone pays rent, let alone has any…

…on a technicality. I called out yesterday and left a voicemail saying I could not make it in. I failed to use the word “sick” in the voicemail because I had a migraine and did not think about it. So because I did not say “sick” in my voicemail, I cannot use sick time. I called out at 4PM. My boss contacted me via email at 11:59PM to tell me this would be an “occurrence” for an unplanned absence. Thing is, she sent it to my work email account. Which I can only access while I am physically working… when I called out because I could not work. She could have called me back or sent an email to my personal email to clarify. Instead, she went out of her way to make sure I could not clarify I was sick to screw me out of 8 hours of pay.…

Thats the post. I use indeed and its all terrible jobs. Linked in is unattainable. Otta is wierd start ups. Applying on the company site sucks ass because they make you re-fill out information but idk how to even find the correct positions on there and they never respond to me anyways. Where should I be looking?

I work for a big insurance company, I like to hop around to different departments and do other things a lot. The last position I was in as a claims adjuster caused me some of the most stress I have ever felt and I had to take 6 weeks off to get my head straight last year. In that job I knew how to do everything and was very very good at it, it is just that the work load and constant negativity from the client base really got to me. My work best friend saw how bad I was struggling and talked me into transferring into auto salvage where I would be dealing mostly with paper work. I saw this as the perfect opportunity to help give me a reset period and then plan my next move in the company. When I came in it seemed like a good…

I’m a barista working for an international food service corporation. I’ve worked this job since September 2021 and despite the fact that I’m 25, this January was the first time I’ve ever had a performance review. I apparently did mostly good, but received a “needs improvement”-esque score for a section about keeping a cool head when learning new tasks. This was referencing a time in October when I was unmedicated for my severe anxiety and acute depression on top of my usual chronic depression and spent everyday on the verge of tears trying to convince myself not to step in front of a bus. Admittedly, I had crying fits at work. So whatever a person’s opinion on professionalism would be, that might be considered inappropriate on my part, irresponsible, etc. I didn’t argue with my manager about the score because if I’m being scored on that, I can’t contest that…

Hello everyone! I have a coworker whos always trying to get me into trouble and telling my boss about everything i do and twisting words so i look bad. My boss trusts me and knows its all BS.
