Antiwork

I work at a fast food/ retail place. I am one of the hardest workers. There’s so many things that just don’t get done if I don’t do them/ have a day off. I’m one of two that’s always asked to do the undesirable jobs. I’ve been trying to get promoted for months now with nothing to show for it. I Have been to multiple internal interviews, have talked to multiple managers about it. They said we would work on it but nothing has happened, I’m honestly embarrassed to bring it up at this point because they obviously don’t think I’m capable. All of my coworkers are the type to talk crap about everyone else, which I can’t stand and is probably a reason they don’t like me too. I bet it doesn’t help that one of them is besties with the DM. So I work harder than they pay…

Are they a waste of time? Of the 5 that have contacted me in the past 2 days, I readily sent my resume and requested the compensation, description, and location only to be met by “let's schedule a time to talk.” My background is automation, and my conversations never seem to go anywhere. Would anyone like to explain them to me? Specifically: Why they insist on talking via phone? Why they are so reluctant to discuss compensation? “You'd be a great fit for this role:” and then I can't get a job description? Why they want my resume when my LinkedIn has all my employment history/skills? Do they not value their own time?

anyone ever consider if you get paid every other week you’re typically going to go at least 8-20 days without getting paid for hours you worked? could you imagine going to a gas station getting gas and saying “don’t worry i’ll pay you in a week”.

So my SO worked for a company that threatened to fire her a week before thanks giving because she was having some health problems. They were gracious enough (strong sarcasm) to keep her on but hire her part time. She didn't hear anything from them for weeks, in this time we decided we are moving across the country. They have now contacted her to work some shifts, she gave them her availability but Nope they want her to only come in on the days that we are literally going to be in another state. They expected her to either push the move back or buy a plane ticket back here. they tried to argue and guilt her into it but finally she put her foot down and told them “No, i will not be doing this. i hope you the best in your future endeavors” NOW, ALL OF THE SUDDEN,…

At work, we are required to use an app or website to track our time, make corrections and submit our timesheets at the end of our work week, but in order to submit your reviewed and complete timesheet, you need to clock out first at the end of your work week, then use your own smartphone and start working on your timesheet and submit it to payroll through the app or from your computer at home on your own time. If you don't, you get a write up. The company does not pay for the time you spent looking and fixing your time sheet, but if you miss something, that's on you and you get a write up too, since there's only one payroll clerk at a company that employs 700+ persons, that's why they make us do payroll stuff for free. Also, if you are scheduled to work from…

I work in a field where one needs to constantly update their knowledge, and it definitely helps to get certifications from reputed institutions for credits and better employability. My boss, a veteran in this field conducts workshops about certain topics for her employees and sometimes allows non employees to enrol as well. It’s nice that they like to share their knowledge in a world where people want to keep trade secrets and only care about personal success. However- the majority of the employees are seriously underpaid (the pay is based on our educational experience, the highest pay someone with a college degree (the entry level qualification) can get is 220 rupees per hour (that’s 2.93 USD). These workshops cost around $80 approximately and are held every 4 months. The management makes it sound like it’s completely optional, like it should be; but they constantly ask us to pay for it…

I have recently graduated with a degree in anthropology (I know). I’m working odd hospitality and retail jobs right now because every time I go to look for something better paid I get so angry that the role is just some stupid title that has to do with selling people crap. Marketing, advertising, analyst, consulting, it’s all just figuring out how to most effectively and efficiently push products. I hate it. Is there any modern (attainable) jobs that don’t require me to go back to school and contribute to the capitalist propaganda that pushes people always needing more things, new things. Help!
