Antiwork

I wanted to go, but I didn’t reschedule until days later after I missed orientation. My apartment became uninhabitable after I got hired and I feel like I was going through a breakdown. My unit is still not repaired or up to code. I stopped eating and talking to friends. When it came to orientation day I just couldn’t move my body to get ready. I do want the position and asked to reschedule orientation which my manager agreed to, but she also asked why I didn’t show up. Not sure if this is the right place for this post.

I'm looking to compile a list of companies that is giving their employees around a 7% COLA to back up my claims. The opposite of a name and shame if you will. Thank you in advance.

So there's this country in Africa where even today in 2022 people earn on average around 200-700 dollars a year. Now this sub has nearly two million members, that enough to change lives of two million people for a year nevermind ten years, if people would only give those living in Burundi 300 dollars, and let's be honest if your working 300 a year is nothing like your life wouldn't change if you donated that amount over the year, it's like that amount isn't small or anything and you'd prob need to work still 30hrs to earn it. But why would you not be willing to give some person that amount when you literally be like a billionaire to them allowing them chance to live like normal people, everything considered for a year, like there's plenty countries people around the globe that something as small as few hundred would see…

By “workerism” I mean what others sometimes call “producerism” or “populism” – a rhetorical glorification of the worker, of the nature of being a worker, often coupled to hostility towards the lumpenproletariat (the long-term, often criminal unemployed). The “Actually Existing Socialist” States were all workerist (without at all being socialist). The point of socialism and of Marxism is indeed to abolishes labor. Lenin can talk about how 'he who does not work, neither shall he eat' all he likes: Marx felt differently: The modern state, the rule of the bourgeoisie, is based on freedom of labour …. Freedom of Labour is free competition of the workers among themselves…. Labor is free in all civilized countries; it is not a matter of freeing labor but of abolishing it. (The German Ideology) Gilles Dauvé took this logic to its inevitable conclusion: All theories (bourgeois, fascist, Stalinist, Labourite, left-wing, or far-leftist) which somehow…

Stay with me, it gets messed up. I work in IT, and management claims that pay is determined by education, certifications, experience, time with the company etc. Which are all things that my coworkers and I discussed with each other prior to me approaching management. I started before the contract began at $16 and change. Expectations were high and everyone was excited to get started…. We got REKD. No one was prepared for the workload that got dropped on us. Management scrambled trying to bring in as many people as they could as quickly as possible. People from the company who previously held the contract (who were snubbed after being promised positions) were offered positions, keeping their pay (between $23 and $26). They brought in others who were completely new, with similar experience to me (no certs, no degree, a couple of years of experience) at $19 and change. Anyway,…

The title says it all. I'm so furious rn. I don't know how to cope. Obviously, some will say “leave”, but I can't. I have a family to support and I'm the breadwinner so they depend on me. This is killing me. She's just rude — whenever I can't respond to a text or call, she'll contact one of my emergency contacts right away. Can't she understand that I am fulfilling three roles? And she does not even paying me for that three roles. I'm stuck between leaving and staying. Just have to stay bec job market is bad bec of covid.

Long story short I work for basically a mom and pop pizza shop as a delivery driver. Been here for almost 1.5 years, and i’m going to school. Anyways, we had a massive influx of people quit and because of that we have new people coming in and help from other stores to help as well. Here’s the stupid part, they are changing how the store is organized, and ran. The new management are control freaks with micro managing and always having something additional to say. And today the straw that broke the camels back was they increased our workload as “others weren’t doing their job right, so now you have a longer list”. So everyone is pissed off, and the amount of disrespect given is not even ok. But long story short I got into a yelling match with one of said managers, and they told me to “get…

A few months back I have been asked by my manager to move to a different department without any company process or procedure just so he could get his buddy into my position. When I refused because I like my current position and like the guys I work with I was threatened with low performance reviews, Constant harassment for months on end, manager tarnished my reputation in the workplace when he went to the project director to talk about how insubordinate and a bad worker I am (For clarity I hold more qualifications than my manager). Couple of months ago I found out that the ten employees under my supervision have been moved under his buddy without any process and I was called into a meeting to be told again to move desk to a different department outside the scope of my current role. My question is what are my…
