Antiwork

Applied for an assistant property manager position after getting my real estate license. Wanted to get a foothold in the industry and start making a wage while gathering some business of my own. The offer was full-time, in-office for $13-$15 per hour. I was prepared to ask for at least $20. One of the interviewers called me to say I was “number one” on their list, but they needed to discuss their “appearance policies” first. I am a man with very long, thick hair which I grow every few years to donate. They asked if I'd donate early. I said no. They didn't offer me the job because my hair was past my collar, in violation of their policy. What year is it? 1968? End of rant. Also, fuck those nerds.

After being months of being miserable, and I'm not even upset lol. I guess they didn't like I stood up for myself against all their false accusations against me in the meeting and fired me a couple hours later. Was tired of all the micromanagement, HR and Executives snitching on me thinking I “wasn't working,” constant criticism and no appreciation for all the hardwork I was putting in on a daily basis, low pay for my level of education (I had more credentials than the manager lol), and the gaslighting that they were paying me a lot of money (shit salary, kid you not) I didn't sign off any of the termination paperwork they gave me, and my next step is to of course file for unemployment. Here's to greener pastures y'all, never let these fuckers bring you down.

I destroyed my back in my 20s. I worked 60 to 80 hour weeks. I moved things no human should even be able to lift alone. I served in the military. I worked in conditions on loading docks that were complete shit. Going to work when its dark, leaving when its dark, making $9/hr. It was garbage. But in all of those jobs that were hard as all hell I never stayed in one where anyone attempted to treat me even a percentage as bad as most of the OPs here in antiwork get. If anyone tried I stood my ground, however it ended. The fact that complete disregard to basic human dignity is the norm among so many people is unacceptable. Here I'm seeing people, particularly those just starting out, being treated like complete trash and being told to accept it. You don't need to accept it. Yeah you…

No, seriously. WTAF? The business can afford extra sick time and extra bereavement leave time for those who need it. Why are they passing on that expense to workers? (If they can't afford it then they can't afford to be in business.)

I'm training in a new position and it's very intense. Last week, I asked the head of the department for clarification about a procedure I'd never done. The woman training me chewed my ass out for not following the chain of command. She's…she's not my boss. She attacked my character, my intelligence, my scope of practice. It was horrible. I sobbed in her office while she berated me. At the end of the work day I went to my supervisor and we're going to meet with HR tomorrow. My supervisor is fucking aghast and considering moving me to a new department. Don't let shitty boomers treat you poorly.

Fuck Starbucks and fuck their anti union fuckery ! Ever wonder what would happen if we all flush at the same time ? I've got money unspent on my Starfucks app and I bet lots of us do. Let's all pull it out March 1 and hit Goliath in his Achilles wallet
