Antiwork

Right?

So today, I found out that we are having mandatory overtime….I’m pissed for several reasons. 1) we ran out of supplies for my specific area and they had us cross training. It took a long time to just get the supplies. (This is more of a frustration) 2) so many people got approved time off for long periods of time so it ended up short staffing us 3) I started studying courses on top of this full time job as I need a way out of this job. So I have very little time as it is on top of doctor appointments, personal time (not much tbh), etc 4) my boss asking me what I had going on when I said I can’t make it to the mandatory time. I truthfully don’t think I have to explain but I did out of courtesy. I’m really hoping I don’t have to…

I worked part-time at a fast food restaurant for the first time this past month. Did 36 hours and got paid around $150. I'm thankful I have a job right now, but man, seeing that paycheck really made me dread going back. It's alright, but the manager is awful. Knowing I get paid that much to tolerate him telling me I look stupid for smiling (at the counter??) and that he doesn't think I look smart enough for my university s u c k s. Always swearing and being rude. Apparently several newcomers quit within the first week because of him. I really bit my tongue for a month for the paycheck but got $150…

I worked here shortly after a lovely place called mallwart. August 2018 to November 2019. The hell that I endured for the near entire time I worked there is heinous and unfair. I hope to tell someone from gpm reads this, because you broke the law and got away with it Starting Pay Was: $8.50 Their main brag was, and still is I believe, is a high hiring rate, the high turnover rate keeps this true. My pay as of my firing was $8.65 Shortly after my hiring came training. Fortunately, I was training overnight with a young woman, as the septic tank was full and the bathrooms were out of order er, and we had to walk a half mile into the park to use the toilet all night, thank my stars it was fixed before I took over nights. Shortly after the septic tank was fixed, we became…

I'm not 100% sure how it works, but my mother (who still works at the same job) told me this yesterday. She heard it from one of the boss's brothers. I was told that it should be given straight to the employees, but the staff has only seen $100 each since the boss was given PPP. Not only that, but he took it twice. While I can't say if he spent it on restaurant costs instead, I know that his other brother used his PPP to buy a new car and vacation in Africa for 3 months instead of doing anything for his business or employees. Is there anywhere I can report him to for this, even if it's just to make sure he's using the funds correctly? It seems like just a rumor, but the source is fairly reliable. If I, as a former employee can't do anything, can…

I was watching some clips of OfficeSpace on YouTube tonight and thought to myself.” This move embodies this movement so much.” This was made in the 90s and people still struggle with issues like Peter did in the movie. Unmotivated because underpaid, bosses harassing you, being asked to do more without more pay. Everyday is the worst day of people's lives! Hopefully something positive happens to help people I don't really have a point besides that, DAMN IT FEELS GOOD TO BE A GANGSTA. Being up in here with my anti work gangstas, I won't jump to conclusions but there needs to be a serious labor/ working reform. That is all thank you.

Controversial title, I know, but hear me out: I just started a new job ~7 months ago that’s unionized. Nobody that works at this place likes the union. Management tells people to go to the union any time they have an issue and the union basically tells them there’s nothing they can do. The union has complete control over bargaining for wages and benefits and they make zero effort to include the actual opinions and needs of the hourly employees. It might as well be an even worse company doing business with the workplace and the wellbeing of the employees is the collateral. The old leader of this same union was caught embezzling union dues and was living a lavish lifestyle on funds intended to strengthen the union’s power. Not sure how they’re still our union, but it was probably because nobody was willing to strike to get rid of…
