Antiwork

So for context, my husband and I work for the same company but in different locations. It is frowned upon/not acceptable to have coworker relations but we transferred here from another state so it was fine for us as long as we're seperated. At my husbands new location, he needs to communicate information to the General Manager(f) if anything goes wrong during the night shift. Anything missing, extra stuff, etc. Its never been an issue at any place we've been but the General Manager here is acting extremely unprofessional to the point where it's pissing him off every day and he goes home upset. The GM ignores what he says, doesnt respond to questions, and when she does its in a sour tone. I've experienced this first-hand. We've been told shes “not a morning person” but if part of the job is communicating what the GM needs to know to…

These commercials where people are giving up basic costs such as cable, their gaming systems, etc just to be able to afford insurance. They know exactly how much we struggle yet are trying to capitalize on our struggle. Makes me sick

Pop the leeches that make us work from womb to tomb to enhance their wealth.

Since employers want to keep threatening termination for discussing pay here is the exact text from the NRLB so you can send it to them Under the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA or the Act), employees have the right to communicate with other employees at their workplace about their wages.  Wages are a vital term and condition of employment, and discussions of wages are often preliminary to organizing or other actions for mutual aid or protection.   If you are an employee covered by the Act, you may discuss wages in face-to-face conversations and written messages.  When using electronic communications, like social media, keep in mind that your employer may have policies against using their equipment.  However, policies that specifically prohibit the discussion of wages are unlawful.   You may have discussions about wages when not at work, when you are on break, and even during work if employees are permitted…

I was rejected and told that what I was receiving was fair compensation. If it were fair, I wouldn’t have had to apply for a second job that pays me more to do pretty much the same thing. There are people in my department who are new hires that worked a different area and kept their higher pay coming to us. I’m happy for them, but I’m mad that I’m making $2/hr less to train them. I was hoping they would at least raise my pay by $1 to be comparable to my second job, but they told me no. So… I’ve been applying for jobs on and off now counting on being an internal hire to help me out a little, but it hasn’t. How can I make my resume beat the AI for jobs I qualify for or at least go to the next stage?

Got fired from my last job which was sort of casual entertainment but had a pretty severe health hazard. Fired. For bringing up the hazard too much and refusing to basically just grin and bear it. Current job is basically secretarial work for an insane entrepreneur who moooost of the time is really nice, pays me well, lenient, easy work… But every now and then likes to take out their own personal frustrations on me, hurl personal insults at me, start arguments over nothing, and generally verbally and emotionally abuse me simply to re-assert their status. It actually 100% mirrors abuse I endured before in non business relationship and it’s really freaky. Normally I would have quit by now but the pay:workload ratio is fantastic and, I don’t think I could get another job right now if I wanted to. I know because I’ve been trying. After the rage episodes,…

What excuses are coming up? On one side, companies like apple have said, “our offices are awesome, we’ve invested a lot into them. you must enjoy them”. Which is fair enough. But the excuse, “I didn’t hire you for remote work”, or “because I’m the boss and I say so” just don’t sit right with me. So I want to know, what excuses are being thrown around? For context, I was listening to a podcast by 99% invisible on the future of office design and tons of people are leaving companies that are forcing people back to the office.
