Antiwork

So I just switched to the insurance my employer offers, sounded great and whatever. I have been waiting for an insurance card for “15 days” AKA a month or more. I am running out of/ already ran out of some medications that I NEED to sleep/ function. I literally can’t pick them up because I have no insurance info. HR just says it’s on the way, check in the stupid portal and it should be there. I see nothing there. In fact it still says I’m in open enrollment and I should contact HR, who isn’t helpful at all. It is literally Feb, why would I still be in open enrollment. Really frustrated. I’m ready to just stop all my medications and just not go to any doctors because I don’t know what else to do. All from a shit job that I need the medications for so I can…

My (23F) boyfriend (24M) is a truck driver for a small trucking business. This is a family-owned business, meaning his boss is his father. I have been filing my own taxes for the past five years, boyfriend's dad has been “taking care of” his taxes for the past five. We are looking to move and hopefully beginning to plan for big things, like buying a home and maybe starting our own business. With that being said, my boyfriend asked me to help handle his taxes and finances this year. Now that I am working to file his taxes (1099-NEC), it really sounds from the outside that he should be on a W-2… A lot of exemptions that I am aware of aren't applicable because he doesn't pay for repair, fuel, or other truck expenses, nor does he own the truck… He receives no benefits and is paid from one source,…

Applying to jobs all over, finally got one that took an interest in me. Before the last round of interviews they wanted to do a full background check (no mention of any offer at all up to this point). Looking at every piece of info they wanted, I spotted some interesting stuff in the employment form they sent. What if I ask you for references from past employees? https://preview.redd.it/ojs3oqs4doh81.png?width=706&format=png&auto=webp&s=da72eda5caaccc1981d69158243a887e2752a21a

I’m a 6th year English teacher who’s tutored students for the ACT and SAT. I also spent 3.5 years working as an editor at my university’s writing center, plus I interned as an editor for a publishing company for 9 months part time. Despite this, I cannot get a part time/freelance copywriter job. Can someone say that I worked as a remote copywriter for 6 months at their company? I have all the necessary skills but can’t get jobs because I don’t technically have the “copywriter” experience on my resume. I’m losing money every month with my teacher’s salary and really need this second gig. (I know it’s shady).

After working (being exploited by the worst pow i’ve ever known) for 2 and a half years for 800€ a month, I applied to a well paying job that is really interesting after learning the opening from a good friend as her teammate ! Wish me luck, it could literally turn my life around !

I'm scheduled to come in at 3:45pm Friday-Monday and I'm part time and go about 29 hours. I work both host and busser at a restaurant chain. We close at 4pm today because of the super bowl so I slept in. Go on about my day and I receive a text from my manager saying I'm scheduled to come in. Why? I either have to uber 4 miles which is around $15 from work to home or home to work, or walk 4 miles. I have 1 vehicle and that my Step-dad uses for work and he works all day Friday-Sunday. Why should I have to come in for 15 minutes when I don't even get paid enough to work 15 minutes. I'm not coming in when I won't make that much in 15 minutes. Prior to us closing Saturday night the bussers asked if they needed to come in…

I literally never want to go to work anymore. I've worked only 3 days this month so far because I just can't force myself to go. Even just a few hours is torture for me. During my shifts I literally feel myself losing my sanity as the hours go by. I start having weird mannerisms and feel like I'm holding myself together from exploding. I constantly have to recompose myself. Does anyone else feel this way? Is it possible that I have some undiagnosed disorder and that could be the cause? I feel like if I had a job that I actually enjoyed, I would not feel this way anymore. I've worked a handful of jobs where I got treated very poorly, and felt awful working them as well, but in this current job I get treated perfectly fine. I just don't feel like it's worth the mental and physical…

I've been working in retail on minimum wage most of my life, never had a pay increase, worked most weekends on similar rate. Etc. Never felt properly valued. Yesterday I finally got a remote part time job and they asked what I expected hourly. I went for a 35% increase from my current job, nervous they would decline it. They said “I'm happy to pay you that, but I think you're far more valuable, so hopefully that can be much more in the future”. So don't forget, you are valuable, don't let your shitty minimum wage job make you think anything else!
