Antiwork

i(20F) have been working minimum wage jobs since i was 17; fast food to retail. I’ve been working the same job since my senior year of high school and I was always those employees that rlly put in that extra (unpaid) effort, any time they would needed someone to come in and work i was their girl. can you come in early? no problem can you stay later? sure. I did this cuz in my mind it’s like screw it im getting paid either way. but i now realize that im not getting paid enough either way; today i had to come in at 4AM to help with inventory, while counting the items, i count them twice and run my fingers through them so i do not mess up my count- my manager turns to my other manager n goes “oh you know (myname) is a little..” n then he…

EDIT: For anyone asking, we’ve been here a few hours. She’s calming down. They have not identified anything wrong with her. Could be panic attacks, stress from work, etc. we came here after going to an urgent care and getting X-rays where they didn’t find anything but told us to go to the ER. After we leave here, she’s probably going to work all weekend and we will get billed well over $1000 between the urgent care and ER. She has insurance. Thanks everyone for the well wishes. I’m pretty adamant that her lack of work life balance is killing her.

If no one worked, then how the f*ck would society function Nothing would get done We'd all descend into anarchy

McDonald's is an example of this I always hear brought up. Your job can be making the burgers, but this consists of putting a pre-made patty in a microwave and putting it in a bun with toppings. Since you're so disconnected from the actual processing that makes the patties you don't actually learn how to cook or make a burger no matter how long you work there. Likewise, if you're working the job of 3 people but getting paid for 1 you'll probably never be able to deep dive into learning more. You might have some on-the-fly experience picking up someone else's slack or pitching in at another department, but doing so doesn't make you an expert. Just as working in fast food prep won't make you a chef.

I interviewed at a popular restaurant in my town. They seemed friendly enough, typical restaurant with high volume in a mountain town. Expectations are already low going on but banking in on the summer tourist money is always nice. To start out telling me who they are as a business its stated that they allow time requests off for three days maximum. You can be out of work longer but you're left to coordinate any time off with coworkers after day 3. It wasn't a long interview but they asked me to come in for a working interview (very common here) to see how I mesh with the crew and see if I like it too. I said yes while on the spot but after I got home I thought about the time off policy. I have family, friends, and a life. I have to have surgery for my endometriosis…

Russia's attempted invasion of Ukraine has once again created a very clear dynamic of global conflict; citizens from all countries collaborating with eachother for peace while their governments throw violent tantrums at all their expenses. Once again we have been split into two- raging governments who love to play chess, and innocent civilians who want no part in the game. There is solidarity from the civilians from Russian, Ukrainian, and Western Governments: the sharing of resources, emotional support, and a mutual fear of the fallout. Once again; there is more allegiance among We the Civilians then between a government and its residents. I don't know why I'm bringing it up, to be honest. I suppose it just reinforces what we must all keep in mind; that our governments will say whatever they need to to make us believe that We, the Civilians, are each other’s enemy-but We are the only…

A little background, my company had a bookkeeper when I got hired, she has since been fired. Corporate has taken over paying people out for their work, we were previously using quickbooks for this but corporate switched this week away from quickbooks. On my last paycheck I got paid $1328 due to a bonus I received after having a yearly review. Typically I have direct deposit set up, but this week our direct deposit is down. The check that I received today is the exact same as the last pay period (which is including the bonus). Can/will they come after the over payment if they didn’t put a breakdown on the stub? TL;DR my paycheck is $200 more than it should’ve been, can the company come after me for the extra?
