Antiwork

I posted a few days ago about some odd interview questions I got but I did get the job. My training days are supposed to be part time but I don't think anyone told my trainer. She said maybe a dozen words to me and instead of pointing out and correcting my mistakes she just went behind me and wiped up non existent dirt. She spent a good portion of the morning talking to a coworker about some drama and talking to her husband who works in maintenance (no clue what about I don't speak tagalog). I'm exhausted and my joins ach bat at least I'm making minimum wage (14.50). The worst part is it would be so easy to streamline the work. I can definitely see why so many people quit after only a few days of changing sheets and throwing away all the drugs people keep leaving in…

my coworker just tested positive for covid i believe around tuesday or monday. then yesterday, the day after texting positive, she comes into work and i'm surprised to see her. so i ask her how she's feeling and she tells me that she's not quite in great shape but that she's mostly healthy. mind you, we work in a salon so we have each a different customer coming in every 1-2 hours. to every customer she had, she told them that she “had” covid and that she's still experiencing leftover symptoms but that it's not contagious. meanwhile, during the whole treatment she is sneezing, coughing, clearing her throat and talking with a raspy voice. i found that so disgusting and unprofessional, but i didn't say anything because i'm new and i feel like it's the manager's job to say something or send her home. when i got home, i text…

So that just dropped because they think I am not hearing and probably I'm not important enough to know how the company runs. I made the internal management system of the company. Since I came here I actually made the company Friday chill snacks disappeared because the works are more streamlined now and they have less free time. What we want is a raise. Not pizza as a 'good boy/good girl'. Can't wait to check out off the company. Edit for clarification; I did not personally make the Friday chill snacks disappeared. My program made the company able to get more clients and thus more job. The management see this as they can push workers and they ended up losing their free time. What I wanted to do is make their job easier and cause less human errors, not to take their free time away

Name and shame time – A branch of SIEMENS in the UK have issued out a system called “Crew Hawk” to all the employees in our facility (~120 staff in a factory setting) for “safety purposes”. Their argument is its to tell you when you're near a crane field – Except the entire building is a crane field so everyone is already aware to keep clear when someone is lifting. The system creates a network to allow them to track the position of each employee and make sure they're in their allocated place on site, and to let them know how long people are spending in the smoking shelter. They've already announced they will also be fitting cameras onsite, and with around 60% of our staff being contractors (which is unusual for this area) they're under threat of being sacked if they kick up a fuss about it, so naturally…

This story happened probably about 4-5 years ago at a chase bank call center. I think I had been working at chase for about 3 years at this point when I got my got my 7th new manager. We will call him Dick. Everyone had told me Dick was a asshole person, and a stickler for metrics. I figured we would be fine with this though because I was a great employee and went the extra mile 99% of the time. I had low call times, good adherence (taking breaks and lunches when I should) and good call qualities. Well then shit happens. I got viral meningitis. It’s not deadly one (that’s bacterial meningitis, the one the shot does work for) but it still really sucks. If you haven’t heard of it go look it up. I ended up in the hospital for like a week and on bed rest…
