Antiwork

I just saw a YouTube ad for this. In one of the adsz their car even transforms into a domino's car on the way home, employee uniform and all. This company will now 'Tip' you $3 for getting carryout online because its like you work there. They must be short on drivers right now, and instead of using this money to give drivers a better wage, they would rather insult their customers by 'paying' them a measly 3 dollars to 'work' for them. Now that I type it out that's probably par for the course if you actually work for them. Its basically just a discount for carry-out orders. But the fact that its framed as doing cheap labor for the company is just laughing in the face of their real drivers who already make dirt wages.

I have been definitely downplaying the severity of how burnt out I have been at this job. It should be a perfect situation: a job I went to college for and in my field. I should be happy. This job has been a severely underpaid hell for the last six years. I gained 40 lbs, worsening my anxiety, depression, and plus I have ADHD. I sit behind a computer for 8 hours. I can't eat at work because I am so sick to my stomach and developed a binge eating disorder as a coping mechanism for the stress. I cry in the bathrooms. I am micromanaged. I am so friendly and polite to everyone but I feel that just waning by the hostility I get from some managers. I feel like I am treated like an idiot. Some managers talk about how COVID is “no worse than the flu” and…

I started working for a pizza delivery joint near my college campus about a week ago. Today I got a text from my manager saying that had to let me go because on my second shift I was talking about wages with a fellow employee who said that if we didnt get any tips for our deliveries then we didn't get any compensation for money we missed. In response to this i said very politely something to the effect of ” I'm going to keep an eye on my pay stubs then and make sure that I'm getting what I supposed to get and if I find a decrepancy I'll bring it up with management.” Two days pass and I am woken up from a post test nap in me and my girlfriends dorm saying that I was being fired because of my opions on labor and payment laws. Am…

Posted this on here and the other related sub. However for some reason it got removed. I want everyone to see just how much money these companies have so that when we hear them say “we cant afford it” we know they are lying. Lets spread this so that everyone knows just how much they are robbing from the working class. Sorry if youve seen it before. Lets first look at Apple Apple has 154,000 workers, so we take that number and multiply it by the $100 per hour raise, then multiply that by 2080 which is hours per work year if you work 40 hours a week for the 52 weeks. 154,000 x $100 x 2080 = $32,032,000,000. This is how much it would cost for them to pay their employees the $100 on top of current wages. Again this includes ALL employees and assumes they all work full…

I didn't get benefits, so I wasn't planning to seek professional medical care to treat it. I was in my early 20s, and thought I could sleep off anything. My barback(former EMT) saw it, ditched his shift, and dragged me to the hospital. I coughed up enough blood to fill a tall Starbucks cup in the 15 minute drive. It turned out to be pneumonitis, which is very similar to pneumonia. If it hadn't been for that saint of a man, I probably would have either lived with serious lung damage for the rest of my life, or *fucking died*. We would have both been fired if that manager hadn't run out of friends to hire. ​ That manager was also, in my opinion, the reason that the establishment shut down. Bars have a high failure rate, it's true. This bar was lucky enough to start in a high-traffic area.…
