Antiwork

Hello all. I am an executive chef for an assisted living and skilled nursing facility. I am looking for a great cook. I’m looking for someone who has more then 5 years experience, with a culinary degree. Experience in food service healthcare is not required although helpful. Pay will start at $15 an hour with the possibility of pay raises if proved to be an asset and loyal. $500 signing bonus as well. Hours are some nights never past 8:00pm, early mornings 5:00. A usual day is only 8 hours. OT is acceptable if desired. Weekends are rotated. If you know someone who is looking for a gratifying experience with the possibility of moving up or taking on more responsibility, you can message me here for more info. Thank you.

Once the clock struck 5pm the other day, I feverishly set up a Twitter and a TikTok account for my “foot persona,” all completely anonymous of course, as well as an OnlyFans page. I spent several hours setting them up with an alternate email address and phone number so that nothing links back to my real self. Lastly, I threw on a few freebie pictures/videos on each account to grab attention from would-be buyers. I should probably mention that I’m actually a middle-age guy with pretty average feet. Despite this, you would be AMAZED how easy it is to make your feet look feminine with a quick shave, an epsom salt foot bath, some moisturizing lotion, and colored nail polish. All of which costs less than $20 too! I shit you not, within 4 hours—Yes, 4 HOURS—of getting my accounts set up, I started receiving messages asking for feet pics.…

Cause I don't see anything like this here in the UK. Management aren't great here but they are scared to say or do the wrong thing. Wages though is the one thing that is comparable though, money is pretty poor.

My cat got sick Friday and she's been in and out of the vet, but the treatment she really needs is at a 24hr vet 4-5 hours from where I live. I currently can't afford the care she needs and I've set up a go fund me, but my partner and I have talked about possibly having to let her go if we cant get the funds needed. I'm so scared that I'm going to lose her and that it could have been fixed if I have enough money and resources to get her the best treatment. I'm so tired of living in this world where $ comes 1st, and that I can't make enough of it to not have a situation like this. I'm sorry for the rant, but I figured if any community understood my frustration it would be this one.

So I am gonna be blunt about this situation: I work at a local coffee shop in my town that is well know and has several locations. Recently last month, they decided to change the way our pay is distributed. Usually at the end of every shift, the people who worked that shift take the cash tips and credit tips (you know, pretty normal and reliable) while being paid between $9.85-$11.15 an hour. It's a pretty busy and well known place so tips push pay up to around $22 an hour. This is where it all goes to shit. The pay change sounded like bullshit and EVERYONE hated the idea, except the owner. He decided to put in affect tip pooling. Except, instead of tip pooling for each shop, the ENTIRE company tip pools and the money get distributed based on hours worked. Which didn't make sense, because the fact…

For context, I recently got some grave news about my dog and I still showed up to work, told my boss what happened and I said I was still willing to do any other job in the store, just didn’t want to cashier. They told me to take the day off. The next day, on my actual day off they are now asking me to come in because I “missed hours and didn’t come in yesterday”. I literally had a panic attack in my car, and still showed up. But it somehow falls back on me because I “didn’t show up yesterday”. Fuckin joke of a job.

So context I’m disabled my whole life …it’s been my excuse for not working…I’m pretty sure I could do it if I tried but I’m afraid of a hierarchy they’ve built at wherever i go and to be honest I’m weak when it comes to that I’ve been feeling useless lately and when I tell people this “Oh you should get a job “ And I smile and agree but really do I want one not only cuz I don’t drive so I have to rely on everyone else to take me pick me up which is embarrassing enough but taking orders from someone that doesn’t like me for no reason I can’t deal with. I’m not sure what I’m trying to get with this post but I want to not feel useless and a job won’t make me any happier it’ll just shift my anxiety
