Antiwork

I am always being asked to complete skills assessments for indeed. Why can't employees ask potential employers to answer questions about their “culture” ? Post your questions here. A new employee 's mother has died, and does not have the money to fly home for the weekend. Do you? A. Let them have time off. B. Offer to pay them 16 hours PTO. C. Pay for their plane ticket,and give them PTO. D. Terminate them when they get back for not showing up to a scheduled shift.

I'm finally leaving my company in about 2 months. It's all mutual, but they'll never truly know the hatred I have for them and the toxic environment they've created that causes me so much mental distress. Only worked at the company for 2 years, but that was more than enough. To make it the cherry on top of the cake, the boss/owner is wanting to bring in my replacement for me to start training (again, this is mutual and I offered to help with training) at literally the busiest time we have every month. This busy time of the month is our payment process where we process all invoices for jobs and then cut the checks. This busy time has occurred basically the same time every month for FOREVER. According to my office manager it's a standard in the construction business; so why my boss never remembers it or cares…

I quit my job 1/4/22 after about 7 years as a cop in one of the most fucked up cities in the country so imagine the bullshit I had to deal with. I quit after coming back from an injury to move to My dream state of FL. I do not have a job currently but I am so in love with where Iam at that I am willing to take A huge pay cut just to make it work here. I saved more than enough to go with little to no fear barring utter financial ruin caused by refusing to ever to take a job. Anyway if you have a place you would rather be ,calculate how much you need to feel safe to leap with, create a plan of action and bounce. Don’t look back. I can say even if they doubled my salary plus overtime I wouldn’t…

I've already got one part time IT gig that'll at least keep me afloat, but I am in the process of applying for a second job to essentially be full time between both… however, today I was basically told that I'd be paying $58 dollars for the drug test out of pocket. My understanding is that for any drug test you're supposed to be paid the time spent on the drug test— this is to work for XXXX county schools so I understand the need for drug tests/background check. Is it legal to make me pay for this without reimbursement. Is this a red flag for anyone else? ​ Edit: I contacted HR and it got worse. ” The drug test is paid for by the employee and not reimbursed. The fingerprinting is also paid upfront by the employee and not reimbursed. Let me know if you need anything else.”…

So if I am making 15$ an hour, (500$ a week) how can I afford an apartment, insurance, car payments and child care? I don’t have a family of my own yet and it doesn’t look like I can afford one. Can only managers etc. afford to have a family? If so, what am I working for?

My company is holding a large annual event this week for our clients. VP of the company today asked if I would like to go to dinner with the rest of the company (under 30 employees, family-owned biz) the night before the event starts, and that all of the office staff (the only 3 non-exempt employees in the whole company) are invited. I’m assuming most of the talk at dinner will be about the event, thus it would be a working meal. There will likely be key topics discussed that are important (I can’t imagine this is solely a social event), but this job is just a paycheck for me and I don’t care to engage in off-hours social time with anyone nor spend more time working than necessary. Should I accept the invitation on condition that I’m paid for my time? If I’m paid to be at the dinner,…

First of all, I manage a convenience store in a neighborhood that has earned me the respect of people to go to jail on my behalf. I keep it clean, stocked, and do things I ask my team to do. Starting at the end of August, my boss and her boss (district and regional managers) thought it would be a good “experiment” to see what would happen if my store and another in a small town had no outdoor trash cans. No gas island and none outside my doors. No data, no info, no reasoning, no nothing. It goes how you expect and I keep sticking the trash can back out after a couple of weeks of taking pics of the trash. This has been going on for months. No updates, no asking for data, nothing. Last night, my supervisor and her partner removed my trash can again. Her partner…
