Antiwork

I was hired at a gas station as a cashier for $10/hr to work one morning, one evening, and two overnight shifts per week. Apparently did a good enough job to get promoted to assistant manager (with more responsibilities and a whole $1/hr raise) about a month after starting. A coworker, who works the other 5 overnight shifts, got covid and had to take two weeks off. Was told we'd have to close overnight if I didn't pick up his shifts because they're having trouble finding new people, so I worked 14 overnight shifts in a row, missing two holidays with my family and putting my own health at risk from exhaustion. I pointed out some payroll discrepancies in my overtime pay to HR, which were never really resolved, following those two weeks. The time for the raise I was promised is coming up, and they've cut my hours to…

Mod bots taunting people about “Naming and Blaming,” despite there being 11,238 other ways to get sued by employers for defamation through discussion on here that are 100% allowed per the rules. People with little to no experience dealing with the day-to-day abuse of the service sector singing the praises of xyz new service job with better pay & benefits without reading the fine print. Posters basically advocating that folks in the service field don't deserve housing that isn't shared with strangers or family. In the past two weeks, I have literally seen sentences written in genuine context here that almost word-for-word echo employer Facebook group sentiments. Am I the only one that's seen this? I'm not trying to pick a fight or do anything in particular about this, I just want to hear other folks' observations on changes in the community in recent months. What the hell is going…

Any math gurus out here, I need help. Please pm me

Hi all. Thanks for hearing me out. I’m 21 and I feel stuck. I’ve been working as a janitor for the last year at $14/hr while trying to pay off an 11k surgery. Its been done, but its been horrible and soul sucking. It’s not the worst, and people have it worse than me, but it still sucks. It feels like I keep pulling myself in a million different directions. I want to go back to school. At least I think. But i know I’ll have to work at the same time, and I already have MDD and intense passive suicidal ideation. Basically admitting I can be very fragile. And i feel guilt with that knowing how intense some jobs can be and how bad we need them (like surgeons.) But I dont wanna be in debt. I had a pell grant, but I never ended up getting my associates…

I told her no of course. I work at a hospital as a nurse. I'm essentially the shift lead of my area, but not a manager. We're hemmoraging staff because dealing with covid has just absolutely sucked, and you can double or triple your pay by leaving and working as a travel nurse. To try to intice people to stay we got a decent raise. It's based on tenure. I've worked for the company for 4 years in May, my raise was from $29.6 to $34.x. I started at 22.5 as a new grad. Not everyone got a raise. What my manager told me was that corporate looked at data of who was leaving the most. People who have been with the company for 10+ years weren't quitting to travel, so corporate just didn't give them a raise. What a thank you for your loyalty. At least I know about…

Hi, Long time lurker sorry for format I'm on mobile My ex boss gave me a phone call on valentines day during my covid leave letting me know that “my role was no longer needed and I was being let go”. A few days after, I get an email that I will not be compensated for the 2 weeks I worked before going on Covid leave because I had not completed an ongoing and year long project. Now in my contract it states that I am an hourly employee that isn't paid based on project completion. I'm just at a loss for words at what to do to be honest. Not only did I lose my job, but now I'm getting denied pay for 2 weeks of tedious office work. Any advice on how to handle this?
