Antiwork

My girlfriend recently started working remotely for a large residential solar service provider. She was signed to an agreement of $16.50/hr + X%commission b/c we live in California and the relative higher cost of living (employees in other states receive $15/hr + X% commission). Today she received a call from 2 supervisors (her sup & a higher up) telling her she had to take a $1.50/hr pay cut(~2k per year) in order “to level the playing field” among sales advisors & “incentive top performers.” However the company is keeping all employees in other states @ $15/hr and did not increase the X% commission. This seems completely discriminatory and unfair to me, but I am wondering if someone can shed some light on the legality of the situation? Only employees in California are being made to take this pay cut which was put in place to offset some of the differences…

I work at a gym/community center (one that has a catchy Village People song) and we received a job application from one of our members. This woman is a grade-A Karen who runs on abusive behavior and intimidation. She has threatened staff, insulted and belittled us, and has attempted to get multiple of my coworkers fired. We can't (read: aren't allowed to) do anything about her because it hasn't become physical or gotten to the point that we would need to call the cops. Apparently, that's not enough for her. She wants to work with us now. Several of my coworkers and I spoke to our boss about this woman. We clearly explained that under no circumstances should she be hired. We work with sensitive information, including peoples' names, addresses, birthdays, phone numbers and emails, and financial information. This woman should never have access to that based on her behavior.…

I work for a major autoglass company, and I have only been a technician for a little over half a year. I enjoy the work of what I do, and the pay is good, benefits are semi lacking but better than other jobs I have had. I am working hard so my wife can get her Vetrenary Doctorate, so I am very much needing the money. Recently, management has been pushing more work on me than I can handle. I feel as if I can not do the work safely and meet the amount of work put on me. I brought this issue up with my manager, who up until recently I had a good amount of respect for. I was told that after being a technician for 1 year, this amount of work is expected. Again, I have only been doing this for a little more than 7 months.…

I’m a new employee at a company I’ve been wanting to working at for a while. To clarify, I’ve been working here for about over a month. On a Saturday, I get hit with a sickness, I feel like complete shit, sore throat, fever, headache—I feel light headed as hell. So I asked my supervisor on text, if I should come in still, but I let him know I was sick. He replies back and texts, yes I should come in to work, and asks why (motherfucker, I’m sick, and hello? COVID-19??). He then proceeds to send another text asking about my symptoms. So I list the symptoms (sore throat, headache, and a bit of a fever), and he texts me that it’s okay, to just stay home. So obviously I stay home, why the fuck would I want to spread my sickness in the middle of an ongoing pandemic?…

I've been on the hunt for a job since August of 2021. This is the latest bull I just went through. On January 10th, I applied for a remote Lead WordPress Developer position. January 12th, I get an email saying they'll be scheduling interviews starting at the end of the month. January 27th, I finally get the email stating they're ready to move forward with scheduling interviews. I had to fill out a short form (was like 5 questions) then was redirected to their booking calendar. This was included in that email: “Please note – there will only be time slots available for the month of February. If the times presented do not work for your schedule, please feel free to email me directly and we can work out a different time.” *** Quick back story; I'm currently a stay at home dad of 7 years to two special needs…
