Antiwork

I was offered an entry level position for a well established company that I am only taking for the money. They scheduled me for an orientation last minute (1 day notice) and I went but wasn’t able to complete my tasks because my log in didn’t work so they just sent me home. Because the log in doesn’t work I have nobody to email, no way to check a schedule, etc. A week goes by and I get a text asking when I am able to start working, I reply, and then they don’t reply. I text 2 days later asking if there is any update on when I will start and they tell me “probably Saturday” (2 days from then) but they’ll let me know tomorrow. Next day comes and I have heard nothing. Is it generally my responsibility to ask again when I’m supposed to go in? It…

I'm absolutely lost right now. I don't know what else to do and amazon itself has told me I can't do anything else. I've spent tens of hours on the phone with the ERC. 3 weeks ago today I had a hip surgery done after not being able to walk for 5 months due to a bone spur and loose hip joint and started a medical leave in early november. Between an ugly combination of my doctors office not filling out my leave paperwork correctly on 6 separate occasions and my case manager being completely absent, I may loose my job. I am completely desperately right now because of this. I found out that my doctors office faxed amazon a copy of my leave papers as well as emailing me them and myself uploading them though a to z after calling the ERC for the umpteenth time tonight and finding…

Not sure if this belongs here exactly but it’s work related so here it goes. I work for a Medical Marijuana dispo and the other day this guy came in and I had to cash him out. At first I didn’t recognize him but after he said several times “it’s nice to see you again” I recognized him as a guy I met once randomly and chatted with for litterally 15 minutes before leaving because he made me feel super uncomfortable. I was single at the time and gave him my number when he asked without really thinking about it. However, when he asked me to sleep with him within the first few minutes of our convo and got really weird whenever I asked him questions about himself I decided I didnt want to have anything to do with him and left. That incident was nearly a year ago and…

I have a job right now that pays decently but I'm looking for something with less hours so I have been interviewing around and had a few people possibly willing to send offers. The only problem was that a good chunk of companies I talked to felt I was “too expensive” because some animal is willing to sell themselves short. They all talk about their margins and blah blah blah but that's honestly bullshit. I'm not going to sink margins at 20 percent above your supposed highest wage you can offer. This just drives me nuts. We sell ourselves short by taking these crap offers! Stop it you crazy people!!

Well, you have it you guys have about as much information as I got. I have a little coming to me in this next paycheck and on the hunt again

Stop with the “Voting X is what is killing the working class”. Biden has a demo majority and what has he done with those promises to free us from the shackles of school debt? Nothing. What is he doing with minimum wage? Nothing. There is NO party wanting to fight for your rights, because their pockets are being lined by the same exact people. Stop enforcing the culture war THEY want us fighting and direct the attention at the politicians and fat cats that are sitting at the top eating pretty while YOUR children starve. EAT THE RICH, regardless if they use red or blue food coloring. Edit: I’m making my stance very clear. This isn’t x does better than y. Trump doesn’t care about you. Biden doesnt care about you. Rebublicans don’t care about you, Democrats sure as hell are in that same boat. You are defending politicians that…

Honestly I'm relieved. That place is fucking toxic and I should have left long ago.

I'll save everyone some time here, this is a pointless self serving rant just to blow off some steam. So…topic. My position, as my last few have been, is a middle management position in charge of a team of people reporting directly to actual management. I hate it. I'm not a leader, I'm just a particularly good worker, but unfortunately the only place for a good worker to be promoted to is a leadership position. I can't stand being “the bad guy” when management feels like somebody needs to or taking the blame for bullshit that's not my fault. I can't stand being the wasteful middleman that gets paid to gatekeep management doing 30 seconds of actual work per day. Most of all I can't stand that I've lost any meaningful relationships built up with my team because I'm their boss. I just want to go back to being a…
