Antiwork

I moved from California to Texas and ever since then I don't know if it's been me or my managers that have driven me out of my jobs. In California, i had very professional respectful managers that wouldn't micromanage and they were respectively at a retail setting and a community health center setting. The two worst managers I've experienced were here in Texas when I started working in doctor's offices and I guess it's due to the demand and stress but it's been really weird to see such a disconnect between what I had and what I'm experiencing now. I'm not by any means a lazy worker I really don't like to leave any work on my desk at the end of the day I try to help out as much as I can I've been cross trained and I apply my skills so I'm just wondering does long-term employment…

A little clarification of corporate lingo: COMPETITIVE SALARY: We remain competitive by paying less than our competitors. JOIN OUR FAST-PACED COMPANY: we have no time to train you. CASUAL WORK ATMOSPHERE: We don't pay enough to expect that you'll dress up-well, a couple of the real daring guys wear earrings. MUST BE DEADLINE ORIENTED: You'll be six months behind schedule on your first day. SOME OVERTIME REQUIRED: Some time each night and some time each weekend.

APPLY IN PERSON: If you're old, fat or ugly you'll be told the position has been filled. NO PHONE CALLS PLEASE: We've filled the job, our call for resumes is just a legal formality. SEEKING CANDIDATES WITH A WIDE VARIETY OF EXPERIENCE:…

Hello! If it were not for the abusive and exploitative nature of the job, I would not post this question here! I think this may be the right place though. I was fired in November from a daycare + preschool center where I taught very briefly. It was a toxic work environment — even our handbook said that we are required to work scheduled and unscheduled work without pay, must arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of one's day, must believe in God, must believe in the constitution, and must say the pledge of allegiance every day. Now, educators work for free ALL THE TIME, especially ones who really care about their job. It's sometimes something you accept as part of the job, especially with younger age groups. Hell, I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy some of the after-hours crafting I've done for my classrooms and…

It’s BS. If I’m working full time I should be making enough to live independently. My only hope of moving out is to move out with someone else and it infuriates me, I work hard. Now let me live.

Any job is just a job at the end of the day but I just secured a remote insurance adjuster gig after only working shitty blue collar Gigs for the past 10 years. I just wanted to share my experience, better work can be found!!
