Antiwork

I’ll be quitting my job to take a better paying/benefits job. This will be the first time I’ve outright quit. My current employer has been OK, but it’s been just a decent entry job. How would you go about quitting?

So I really like my job, but found out the company is dissolving my job location and what I do specifically will not be a part of the company anymore. I am being offered a position at the new location BUT a few things I don’t like: A) further commute with no pay increase, B) will be stricter and less breaks, C) mandatory OT wayyy more often up to 60 hours at a time, only benefit I’m seeing is job security and is it even worth it at that point? Will be doing warehouse work which is tedious and monotonous at best Any thoughts?

Regarding this thread, where OP (based in the US) is being threatened with termination for talking about wages with their coworkers, a number of people are saying just file a retaliation complaint with the labor dept. if you get fired and you can get compensation. A number of other people are saying it's not as simple as that and, really, when have you ever actually seen it play out that way? Hence my question: has anyone here ever been in this situation? That is: Discussed wages with a co-worker (as is your legal right) Threatened with termination for doing so Terminated Filed a retaliation complaint (and if so, with which office/dept., or was it a private lawsuit?) Won the case and received compensation I'm also interested in more general stories where you've been fired, regardless of reason, and then successfully complained and won. Accounts of this process working and specifically…

How is this legal? They discussed both shifts with me in the interview and I told them I am not willing to work 1am-9:30am. I just completed a month long training before they said even a word about it and moved almost my entire class to night shift. I made life choices and plans based upon my day shift schedule. Fuck you TikTok, criminals.

Update: I just got talked off the deep end cause I was ready to quit and was given the rest of the day off. I bust my ass for my company and they said they really appreciate me and didn’t know it would be this upsetting. I feel glad I stood my ground cause I have a right to be upset. I’m glad I work at a decent company that empathized and insisted that I take the rest of the day My boss just told me that we won’t be getting our bonus check this pay period and we might get it next pay period. It’s been 4 months since the fiscal half (which is what are bonus is for) and historically they’ve paid out within a month. So I have been praying for this bonus ever check. I’m so angry I’m shaking. I want to call out. Is this…

First off, love the film and the overall message, but this time I'm noticing something new. The boss character, Al Harrison played by Kevin Costner, keeps telling people that he's not going to pay them. First of all when the Russians manage to get into space first and he says the 'how'd we come second in a 2 man race' line. After that he tells everyone that they will be working late and it won't be reflected in their pay packets, so they should warn their wives. Then later with the IBM chaps he tells them several times 'I'm not paying you' because the machine isn't working fast enough. I don't know if that attitude is true to the person that the character is based off of, and I know it was exceptional circumstances that probably aren't reflected in today's world what with the Cold War and Space Race, but…

Hi. As the title suggests, I applied for a job at the end of December. The job was the same title as my current position, but they are looking for 5 years of specific experience, and I have one year in this title. I have extremely relevant unpaid internship/college experience though. I received requests from the company/ indeed for skills and aptitude tests but I didn't get around to them because of the holiday. I received another notification that the position was filled/company no longer interested. Today, I received an email for an interview with apologies for the delay. Is this a red flag? It has been over a month and I thought I was already denied. In my head it sounds like they took someone and they backed out because they hated it, and I am the second option, but I could also be catastrophizing because this is close…
