Antiwork

I worked for a “woke” woman founded nonprofit org that promised better pay, unlimited vacation, insurance at no cost the the employee, and flexible hours. I thought I hit the jackpot. Everyone had kids and they were always welcome at the office and we were always told they came first. We were always encouraged to take time when we needed it, no questions asked. But, I quit last week. Why? Because their motto is “there is no work life balance because we are family”. Because the “culture” they promised me was a front. Because the vast majority of my coworkers were not in a position to quit and lose income. Because I was becoming a scapegoat for their own ineptitude. In the moments I was learning my 2 year old more than likely had Covid (4 classmates tested positive) and needed to be picked up from daycare immediately, my boss…

Ok so I’ve applied to jobs as a writer and this one job says that they want someone who ideally has SEO experience. From what I understand it’s not too difficult for a tech savvy person like myself to get the hang of and utilize and there’s the fact that the company makes you go through it in their training anyway (source told me from inside the company). Now I’ve just lied and told them I have years of experience using SEO every now and then. Can any of you tell me what to say in order to sell them the idea that I know what I’m talking about when it comes to SEO’s? Because the manager I’ll be interviewing with is picky on it apparently.

Firstly, I think a sense of community is desperately needed, which will die if we all strive to become rich. Secondly, I think this movement is great and much needed. Thirdly, I am a devout Catholic. I don't expect this to go well, but so you understand my biases. The recent post claiming religion is designed by the rich upset me a bit and I don't think Christianity is the enemy of this movement (although the prosperity gospel definitely is). I understand that there are many abuses in the name of Christianity. I myself am regularly disgusted with the hypocrisy seen in Christians and the Church itself. It is worth noting that the Bible treats hypocrisy as one of the gravest sins. There is a hypocrisy in being richer than the people around you. You cannot have significantly more than others and claim to love them. The first to join…

I told one of my old coworkers about a position with my new company that would likely have been a decent salary bump plus better working conditions. I guess the boss didn't like hearing that I was reaching out to the people he underpays and abuses so he leaves me a voicemail saying if I ever contact his people that he will “beat the fuck” out of me. He's a huge douche.

I’m doing a performance evaluation for my government job for the first time in awhile. I hate it. I think I do a great job and my boss always lowers excellent to satisfactory in one area, because he thinks if it says excellent throughout it doesn’t look realistic. In tbt past, he would pick the area of communication and say I need to work on my communication with team members. Maybe he is right, but idk, I think I communicate well…If someone is being rude to someone else, I call them on it. If they are being rude to me, I call them on it. So I’ve gotten a reputation for being a “troublemaker” and he likes to say that’s why I should work on communication (I think he means he wants me to shut up which I will not do). This year we get to pick what our area…
