Antiwork

I only get like two days off a week of free time and I can’t even enjoy those days because I know I will be going back to work soon. Humans weren’t meant to live like this. Working full time is very damaging on your mental health. I wish I could only work 1-2 days a week and make enough to afford a decent life. Am I really asking for that much? If it was something I actually enjoyed doing then I would have no problem spending 40 hours doing it a week but spending the majority of your life doing something you hate just seems like torture to me

I go thru a week's worth of hiring process and day of training and things are going smooth when all of a sudden I get a call at home from HR… “Your rate of pay is wrong, it is not $19 but $14.50 an hour. We made a mistake and are very sorry.” I said to the HR lady “Three times you assured me $19.00 was the correct wage. I even inquired to make sure it was…

First of all, this happened to me many years ago when I was a teenager and had zero life experience. I can't help but see the similarities in all of your stories happening now, it's a shame how little has changed in the way workplaces treat their employees. I was about 17 and I was offered a job working for a store that sold motorcycles, atv's, boats, and everything fun an outdoorsy. I was beyond excited to be around all these expensive toys all day. The company also liked to tell all their new hires about the perks and summer retreats where employees get to try them all out at the owners cottage or farm or wherever. On the first day I got to help lineup the motorcycles along the front entranceway and see all the boats, then I was walked to the business next door that did car oil…
