Antiwork

I work partime at a company that sells mainly heavy items like bedsides tables etc.. We are usually 3-4 on the weekends managing a 1500 square ft store and I am the only man there so I am the only one that is allowed to handle heavy items.

And I get paid minimum wage same as my female coworkers but they get to wake up the next day not feeling sore.

I'm working an evening cleaning job (3pm – 8pm) in a team of 3 people. The problem is that the facility is so big, we are unable to finish the entire thing in those 5 hours. Mind you, this has been a problem for over 2 years and management are only now trying to hire more staff.

These workers work for ~$10000/year and have university level knowledge. You are going to start seeing more and more Ipads with people on the other end in stores and restaurants. If you think for a second that organizations are going to opt for higher wages over remote workers, you are very mistaken. The pandemic has strengthened the ability to outsource jobs as its nearly identical to WFH. The recent increases due to shortages are temporary as this system is being implemented. Went into a store today and saw it with my own eyes for the first time. Just wanted to let everyone know, because this is happening on a MASSIVE scale right now. They have whole organizations that companies simply…

She also let me know she was deeply offended that I went to HR. Wtf.

But you're paying me to act so I will act like I am listening. Switch back every 10 seconds to see if they are yelling still. Then say blah blah blah blah blah. Transfer hang up, or real hold to 'find' the answer to their question. Luckily I need things in writing at my job to take action so blah blah blah.
