Antiwork

Management sucks. Most of the employees kiss ass so bad it makes me sick.

Does anyone else feel like it's just a wee bit unnatural and bad for you to force yourself out of bed each morning with an obnoxious alarm, drive halfway across town loaded with stimulants so you don't fall asleep and fucking die, work more than half of your natural waking hours (Cause the 8 hour workday doesn't account for driving and getting ready!), and repeat the fucking cycle every day for most of your life until you're so old you can't enjoy anything more exciting than a bran muffin…. all for people that give you literally less than 0.01% of the profit you make them. Fuck new laws trying to patch the problem with a minimum wage hike, I want corporations to guarantee they'll share 60% of profits with all employees equally.

I work for a big box store one you need a membership to shop at. ( Y'all can guess from the two ) at the beginning of the pandemic the company gave us 2.50 an hr extra for for essential worker pay. They took that away at the beginning of last year even with covid still raging on mind you. All while increasing starting pay by more than 2 dollars for new employees (17hr). Top out employees have been expecting a large bump and rightfully so ( rumor was a 3 dollar raise. Top out is 27$ currently) New handbook came out to our more than justified Surpised anger. A .75 raise for us. Nothing but a slap in the face while the company rakes in record profits. With turnover so high they do this?! I no longer feel like this company cares about their employees.

You owe your company nothing, they owe you everything! Family and friends before work! Limit your overtime, you'll never be equally compensated enough for time lost with loved ones and yourself. Your mental health is more important than the wealth of the company you generate it for.

I keep hearing from peers about how they don't just want to quit their jobs they hate, because doing it without a 2 week notice will go on their “record”. What record? Their resumé that they can add only whatever they want on it? I'm pretty sure a previous employer might be able to say they quit without notice when referred (Maine) but a “record”? Is this elementary? Any info on that?

Hi there, Long time fan, first time poster. It seems a lot of the scuzzy things I read are from small employers that put in policies all willy-nilly.might be wrong; but that's how I take them. Just wondering what the group thinks – is it better to work for a small company, mid size (regional or national) company, or a large (multinational) company? I've only worked for large companies in my career, so i have limited experience. We absolutely get dicked over; but it's at least a straightforward dicking.
