Antiwork

I'm not 100% sure how it works, but my mother (who still works at the same job) told me this yesterday. She heard it from one of the boss's brothers. I was told that it should be given straight to the employees, but the staff has only seen $100 each since the boss was given PPP. Not only that, but he took it twice. While I can't say if he spent it on restaurant costs instead, I know that his other brother used his PPP to buy a new car and vacation in Africa for 3 months instead of doing anything for his business or employees. Is there anywhere I can report him to for this, even if it's just to make sure he's using the funds correctly? It seems like just a rumor, but the source is fairly reliable. If I, as a former employee can't do anything, can…

I was watching some clips of OfficeSpace on YouTube tonight and thought to myself.” This move embodies this movement so much.” This was made in the 90s and people still struggle with issues like Peter did in the movie. Unmotivated because underpaid, bosses harassing you, being asked to do more without more pay. Everyday is the worst day of people's lives! Hopefully something positive happens to help people I don't really have a point besides that, DAMN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A GANGSTA. Being up in here with my anti work gangstas, I won't jump to conclusions but there needs to be a serious labor/ working reform. That is all thank you.

Controversial title, I know, but hear me out: I just started a new job ~7 months ago that’s unionized. Nobody that works at this place likes the union. Management tells people to go to the union any time they have an issue and the union basically tells them there’s nothing they can do. The union has complete control over bargaining for wages and benefits and they make zero effort to include the actual opinions and needs of the hourly employees. It might as well be an even worse company doing business with the workplace and the wellbeing of the employees is the collateral. The old leader of this same union was caught embezzling union dues and was living a lavish lifestyle on funds intended to strengthen the union’s power. Not sure how they’re still our union, but it was probably because nobody was willing to strike to get rid of…

I was hired at a gas station as a cashier for $10/hr to work one morning, one evening, and two overnight shifts per week. Apparently did a good enough job to get promoted to assistant manager (with more responsibilities and a whole $1/hr raise) about a month after starting. A coworker, who works the other 5 overnight shifts, got covid and had to take two weeks off. Was told we'd have to close overnight if I didn't pick up his shifts because they're having trouble finding new people, so I worked 14 overnight shifts in a row, missing two holidays with my family and putting my own health at risk from exhaustion. I pointed out some payroll discrepancies in my overtime pay to HR, which were never really resolved, following those two weeks. The time for the raise I was promised is coming up, and they've cut my hours to…

Mod bots taunting people about “Naming and Blaming,” despite there being 11,238 other ways to get sued by employers for defamation through discussion on here that are 100% allowed per the rules. People with little to no experience dealing with the day-to-day abuse of the service sector singing the praises of xyz new service job with better pay & benefits without reading the fine print. Posters basically advocating that folks in the service field don't deserve housing that isn't shared with strangers or family. In the past two weeks, I have literally seen sentences written in genuine context here that almost word-for-word echo employer Facebook group sentiments. Am I the only one that's seen this? I'm not trying to pick a fight or do anything in particular about this, I just want to hear other folks' observations on changes in the community in recent months. What the hell is going…
