Antiwork

There are a lot of labor problems in the US, yeah. But you're not going to get anywhere fighting half the country and the billionaires. The more you try to call conservatives nazis and fascists, the farther away you'll be from a solution that's good for all workers. You're trying to have your cake and eat it too, and it's not going to work. I want to be part of a serious labor reform movement, not part of a Twitter gang that tries to cancel people for using unapproved speech. Anyway, this post isn't going anywhere, but I wanted to get that off my chest. I'm out.

I’ve recently completed 3 applications and an onboarding packet. All 4 of these a required info line was who was my cell phone service carrier. Why do they want to know this information?

So I am a business owner. I employ 5 people currently. The current status of work, workers, work culture, employee and employer relations, antiwork, etc has me concerned. Not concerned that I am going to immediately lose any employees, however I don't want to perpetuate negative employment culture. I'm in a unique position for the first time in my life. Ive always been an employee. I am trying to be the boss ive always wanted, but feel like i am getting caught up in the “business side” and am losing touch with being a worker. I took over a business 1 year ago and am doing my annual reflection/review/planning and would love to hear some feedback. I've raised wages of the entire staff by 9%. I rolled out an unlimited PTO policy, and give each employee 2 hours of my time, uninterrupted each week to focus on goals, struggles, training,…

I’ve been stuck at the store for about 45 min now after the closing staff called me for help because they couldn’t lock up the front doors. This f***** lock has been busted for years, I even broke a key in it a couple years ago) but the owners refuse to acknowledge the problem/say it’s too expensive. I complain about it to them all the time! Now instead of eating my delicious steak dinner and watching Always Sunny, I’m possibly here for another 2 hours waiting for a locksmith. And I’m in my PJs because I rushed over. I will not be paid for this time because I’m on a salary. They should have listened to me, I wouldn’t have brought it up if it wasn’t a real problem! Sorry, I’ll end my rant here.
