Antiwork

I don’t know why most of the Human Resources can’t be honest with the applicants and that’s shitty

I work emergency services. I help save lives on a daily basis. I take very stressful calls that give me stress dreams and make me anxious in everyday life. We JUST got overtime pay instead of comp time. My husband and I are finally able to take our first vacation in 3 years. I worked 6 days in a fucking row 10-12 hr shifts just so that we’d have a little bit of spending money (not including the other 3 days I worked 10-12 hr this last 2 weeks). They took out my husbands insurance again this week ($300) and then didn’t pay me my overtime (around $200). The whole place is going to shit. There’s only 8 full time employees. 1 recently was fired, 1 is quitting, 2 more are thinking about quitting, and the one that has already quit has enough dirt on our current supervisor to get…

Someone very close to me is having really concerning issues with his boss. He’s a salesman at a large regional group of dealerships. At first, the GM was supportive and everyone liked the dude, he would always make weird, sometimes sexually inappropriate comments towards subordinates, but it was just seen as him trying to be funny. He’d always lend a helping hand when reps would try to close a deal and used to always be someone you could rely on for guidance if you ever had trouble doing something. He’s like a master salesman and people reader, incredible ability to close customers, but his skill set has also allowed him to be able to control and effectively manipulate some of the employees. Especially the newer reps or “greenpeas”. Everything was manageable until the last two months. It started when he made absolutely everyone come in for New Year’s Day at…

I work at a small non-profit with a nationally recognized name. I have been employed there since 2018. I specifically chose to work at a non-profit so I could feel better about working everyday, I figured at least I was helping people. This mentality is exactly what they want, because it allows them to take advantage of employees. I did countless tasks and projects beyond my job description, scope of understanding, education and training. I transferred all staff from their current broken down desktop computers to new laptops, I am in zero ways an IT professional. I moved the entire 5000 sq office BY MYSELF to a new smaller suite when rent was too high during the pandemic, for that I got a $250 bonus. I could go on and on and on and on, that's not n even the tip of the iceberg. My boss, the CEO, is stepping…

After 2 years I just got a whooping 65 cent raise. On top of inflation I now pay 600 a month for health insurance. I typically have to pay things late so we can eat it’s getting to the point where I have been having suicidal thoughts every other Friday. A lot of “what’s the fucking point?” I’m 39. I was always told work hard and it will pay off. WHEN? Because I’ve never been unemployed since 16 and I’m more behind than ever!! I’ve had it with working for someone else’s awesome life. I want my own. Im going to make something happen this year or I’m going to dive off of a fucking bridge.
