Antiwork

I'm arguing with someone that claims employers (EDIT: in the US) cannot tell an employee to work at a store the employee doesn't want to work at, or transfer them to an office in a different city. He seems to think this is impossible because it would be literal slavery, ignoring the (I thought) obvious fact that refusing would lead to being fired, which is a choice that actual slaves don't have. So I'd appreciate any stories about “You can go work at this other location, or find another job with a different employer.” I have pointed out the thousands of articles on people working from home during the pandemic being told to return to the office when they don't want to, but since this person seems to have trouble seeing when situations are analogous and when they're not, I'd like to just avoid the “But that's different” response.

”I like capitalist because it gives me hope that i can work hard and one day become rich”.

Found out 2 days ago we were having a mandatory meeting at work today at 2:30 During said meeting (which lasted 20 mins), we were told our boss (owner of the stores) paid $1.1m in labor alone. Prior to this we were told that our dm would love to give us $20 an hour but said right now that isn’t feasible. But there’s only 5 stores they own. Running on being up for 23.5 hours now so forgive any errors but I just wanted to share this tidbit of info we were told. The store I work at (private company but I guess it would be considered a franchise since there’s 5 stores? Idk) has 11 employees. Idk about the other stores but yeah. Just wanted to share. Going to sleep now. Fuck the man!

Hey all! I hope this is the appropriate place for this. Like the title says I’m strongly considering a new job, but can’t shake the guilty feeling about leaving current company. Some background, I’ve been with current company for 4 years, first job out of college. I don’t have too many complaints or anything major – this new job would promote me and give me a significant pay raise and they provide way more career development and growth opportunities so it’s a no brainer, so why do I feel guilty thinking about leaving my current company? I like the people I work with so maybe it’s just my anxiety about trying to figure out what to say to my manager and how to quit. I am trying not to care too much because I know they will just replace me, but it’s hard to shake those feelings. I guess I’m…

Came home and discussed my working day with my older brother. Me: How did the new job go? Brother: I taught Multivariable calculus. How did yours go?? Me: …….. I helped the students fold plastic bags and put price tags on stuff…. Brother: … Me: …… Brother: Sounds like a useful day. ​ Im an, at the moment, unemployed actor working at a school as a teachers assistant. My brother works as an advanced math and physics teacher at a research university.

So my office never clears/changes their air filters (according to people who have worked here for a while and actually know where theyeven are). We have a trucking yard right outside with diesel/car exhaust being pumped out all day In close proximity. Almost every 30 minutes someone has to sneeze consistently. Every Wednesday at the end of the day I start to feel sick, headache and sore throat, which goes away the very next day when I'm WFH, and doesn't really pick up on Friday because weekend. How likely am I to get some chronic respiratory disease from this place? Anyone else with shitty workplace air?

I hate getting up and going to work just as much as the next guy, but what does all of this sub do for a living. Genuinely curious after the subs recent publicity debacle.

So I’m at my wits end with my boss. She has said things in the past that aren’t okay such as getting a IUD so I’m not calling in sick once a month or so. She has shared my personal information with my coworkers, my dad got COVID but I live in a separate part of the house so my chances where low to begin with and I stayed home for 48 hours to make sure. She then told me that my co workers were uncomfortable with me being at work but I had asked my coworkers and none said they were uncomfortable. Now the newest thing that she has done is ask me to help pay for a coworkers towing ticket…context for that, me and my coworkers and boss went to a hockey game Saturday, my coworker picked me up on the way and we parked at a gas…
