Antiwork

Working for a popular pizza chain since August and I’ve been promoted to store manager on account of my previous years of management experience in another restaurant chain and there being zero other candidates. Base pay is not nearly what I thought it would be for being responsible for an entire store ($485 a week net), and I have the opportunity to get a monthly bonus of around $1000. Here’s the thing though. The bonus is based on a few different factors, some of which aren’t entirely in my control, so it feels kind of…cheap? Unfair? One of the factors is making labor, which we haven’t made labor for the entire month of October because our sales are in the toilet due to competitor pizza places (3 in our small town), and even with cutting back to the bare minimum required crew, I’m still just barely above water. I’m doing…

My boss’s boss (BB) scheduled a 1:1 with me this morning. BB and a HR representative (not really a 1:1 but I digress) let me know I was being laid off. My boss (C) was not on the call and not informed of my lay-off prior to it happening. Even during this meeting, C was messaging asking me to help her with something. I guess she didn’t know I was being laid off? Fast forward to the end of the meeting – I try to call C. She doesn’t answer. I send her a Teams message letting her know I won’t in fact be helping her with the task she was asking about since I was just laid off. C doesn’t respond. Instead, she cancels our 1:1 meeting for the afternoon. Doesn’t answer my call after the lay-off. I was laid off at 10:30am this morning and it’s now 7:00pm.…

Cashier: “The kitchen is closed until further notice due to a staffing shortage. If you know anyone looking for a job, send them our way!” Me: “How much is your starting pay?” Cashier: “We are a co-op so it is based on experience. You would have to call and talk to management to work that out ” Me: “Yeah, best of luck with that…” I know its not the cashier's fault, but these employers will never learn

We just got a company-wide email saying as of January 1, 2023 we must all be in the office Tues-Thurs. The rule right now is two days a week. I'm simply going to refuse to comply and see what they do about it. If it's an issue, they can fire me. I'm highly employable and will have a new job within a few months. I'll enjoy some vacation time in between. My commute is 1.5hrs one way, assuming no delays on my commute. Not adding another 3hrs to my work week when I'm doing my job just fine as is. Fuck my employer. If they want to try and force this on me, I'll take my talents elsewhere.

I have been a nurse for ten years. I work at a large regional hospital doing direct patient care. I like to get to know my patients and often do small talk. I often broke the ice by asking “so what type of work do you do” and use that for conversation. I've recently caught myself feeling different towards patients depending on their profession or type of work. If someone said they are an attorney or professor etc I would subconsciously be a bit more professional and respectful. Fock that Two weeks ago I decided not to ask that anymore. Treat everyone the same no matter what.

I started my new job on “the quiet quitting foot” I've been doing this for the past 4 months and I realize compared to my old jobs, I have 20% more energy. I am still tired but I can get by doing housework without forcing myself too much and everything I do at home comes more naturally.. I don't crash immediately and hide in bed like I did before. I also spend less time talking to coworkers than ever before.. usually by now I'd know more about them but I know next to nothing. I sit alone at lunch.. I do have just one work friend and the others I just talk/joke in passing (if I feel like it) ​ Not putting 100% at work means you have energy and fucks for other places in life!

TLDR: Head of dept I want to be hired into has discriminatory tendencies and is actually a massive bitch behind closed doors. For context: I work in a small hospital. Not a giant, but mostly for rehab purposes. I work in billing and insurance. But you know, billing is so boring. I dont make enough money to compensate for the work that I do and pick up from others (big surprise) and I was feeling very underwhelmed and bored with my position. I am very good friends with a lot of the ladies that work in the physical therapy department. They are very short staffed over there and are looking for assistants to aid in physical therapy and other activities to help get people back on their feet. I was always into the idea of joining their team and a few weeks ago I spoke to our hiring manager and…
