Antiwork

So here's my success story that I wanted to share given the amount of joy this sub had brought me over the lay few years. Long thread alert if you want to fast forward. This started in 2020. Our department had just been through several shake ups and changes (my boss and our dept admin were both fired in a manner that were odd, to say the least). Our CIO came into town to announce the changes. He seems like a nice guy and gave the mid-level managers the heads up; he would be bringing in a new director over our groups. They also split our other support team off to a new director as well. That's when things started getting interesting. A few months in, the other support team's director let it be known they were working on outsourcing their team and my team as well. I asked my…

Story time, folks! It was a McDonalds, not bad at all considering some horror stories I've heard. I honestly kinda enjoyed the work and enjoyed the people I worked with. We never had any rude customers, none on my shift anyway, which is a bit shocking to me since it was a small town I opened for that store for a month straight, both service and kitchen, and even after I was given shifts when the store opened, was one of their most reliable crew members. I'd cover just about any shift they asked of me and was trained to work nearly everywhere in that store. It was honestly a good gig Aside from one manager. Theres ALWAYS that one manager. She would take me off stops I was good at because I somehow made her mad or with an excuse of I was running up our time. Which was…

Not sure why this sub lately seems to think it’s Gen Z that “sticks it to the man” or this is a new thing. If you’re not being treated well, you’re well within your right to leave/not show up. Especially if you’ve given a job ample chances to do better. I’ve always been under the impression that most people here are millennials +, those who have been working for a while and are fighting back against the way we are treated. idk I just hope it doesn’t turn into a “gen z does it better” scenario because we’re all in this together.

Finally quitting a job that a should’ve left months ago. Basically the only thing that made me stay was the insurance. What do I do? This is America btw. They tie the health of your life into your job so that you cant take a break to change anything…

If you take meds to deal with work, you're not the one with the disorder.

I work in a nursing home. In the 3 years I've been here they have pulled a lot of crap. For starters, if you call in they force you to “make it up” on your off days. And to top it off, if you're sick and they mandate you to be off for X amount of days, you're also forced to make up the days they told you that you can't come in because you were sick. So for the full timers, who are already working 40 hours a week, and have kids and lives outside of work, it's nearly impossible. You work 40 hours a week then you miss 5 days because of being sick so then they force you to make up those 5 days on top of your regular shifts. A lot of my coworkers are students. They can't manage their studies while following this policy. A…
