Antiwork

I want to quit my job but i feel like i’m being ungrateful/dramatic. this is mostly a vent long story short, i nanny 2 toddler boys for 15/hour, 8am to 5pm M-F, for remote working parents. biggest mistake. they constantly hover and undermined me making my job harder because it makes building a trusting relationship between me and the kids difficult. They have little respect for my time and have made it a habit to relieve me late, i get 1-2 mins, but lately it’s been 7-9 mins and it’s getting annoying. is it a lot? no, but traffic gets very bad very quickly and i live 30 mins away. yesterday the mom wasn’t even working and still relieved me late. the mom had initially implied i’d only be responsible of child related chores. upon my first week she decided i’d be doing their dishes too as well as putting…

Hi everyone, I work at my current company as a software developer/team lead but I have decided to quit and start my own.(a big reason is my boss) I was a key person in this company. I have a very good relationship with many of the clients and colleagues that I have worked with. Now my boss was saying to this other person that if I were to take any of his clients(they have already reached out to me and are happy to continue work with me but i said no because my boss thinks its not ethical) or any of the employees(many employees would be ready to join if i were to open my own business tomorrow) with me, that a lot of accidents happen on the roads daily. I don’t know how to process this. I am just keeping calm at the moment and not let my emotions…

I've been working part-time retail for a total of 5 months. When I started, I was told by my manager to call in every friday as that's the day they print the new weeks schedule. As told, I call in the front desk to ask. Every single time, I get the same bitch that either tells me to go into work, go upstairs, and either wait around or bother upper management to print it OR if she has it, gives me one day of my schedule and then I'm supposed to find out the rest of my schedule that day. I'm beyond over this bullshit. I shouldn't have to be so inconvenienced like this just to find out what times and days I am working on the day and times I was told to do so. My schedule is so varied it's really hard to plan my week out ahead…

How bad is your Council? How fucked up is your council? Does bullying, mismanagement, maladministration, corruption, nepotism, sexist and a horrible toxic work culture sound familiar! Incompetent, psychotic & pure evil managers, this festers a toxic work culture. Got a large turn over of staff. People don't leave bad jobs, they leave bad managers! Upper management won't take action on middle management when there is a clear and demonstrated history of severe bullying going back years. Incompetence staff actively buck the system and work totally against the system and their other co-workers. Staff resigning without jobs to go to as they just have to get out for the sake of their mental health. Sexist leering to women and wandering eyes and …. Bullying subordinates into accepting blame for the higher ups mistakes and threatening their career Managers leering over a desk and using foul language to subordinates Nepotism, poor performing…

So I was working my usual shift at Walmart when an obese customer rolled up to my register in one of those mobility scooter for heavy people. She had several items in her basket and I could see that she was struggling to move around and reach for them. I felt bad for her, so I offered to help her with her items and put them on the conveyor belt. She snapped at me and told me that she didn't need my help, and that I was just being patronizing. I was taken aback by her response and couldn't believe how rude she was being. I decided to stand up for myself and tell her that her behavior was unacceptable. I politely explained that I was just trying to be helpful, but she continued to berate me and even started yelling. She accused me of judging her and treating her…

Some of y’all might say that I’m a bit paranoid, but I drive all day to peoples houses to repair their phones, and I might know a bit more then the average person on verbal cues out of customers. I’m driving to this guy he insisted on me Comming out there at a certain time even when I asked since it’s far from our original store location can I come a bit earlier. He kept saying no, and how he was at work, to come a specific time, I didn’t pay no mind, I came out there and it’s like he was waiting for me. This interaction was very creepy, I’ve never had a customer wait for me, smh and the way he blocked his long ass driveway, didn’t let me pass was beyond me. Guys like I didn’t text this guy until morning about when I’ll be heading there,…

i(20M) currently work retail. as of late, they`ve been giving me fewer hours. i used to work a whole bunch of hours. now, i only work 3 days a week. this pisses me off to no end and i`ve brought it up to everyone but nothing has been done. as such, i have decided that i will not accept anything from them except for more hours. on occasions, my managers have offered me a free snack or a free drink for really good work but i`ve always turned it down. a few days ago, i received my company christmas card. i promptly threw it in the recycling bin. hopefully, it can be recycled into something more worthwhile.

Never let anyone (especially yourself) victim-blame me to the point where you think I've committed suicide. If you ever think I have, then I've actually been murdered by capitalism because the greed of the billionaires cannot be satisfied. Perhaps I've used the last bit of my agency left to choose a faster and less painful method of death. But, even if I have, that doesn't change the fact that I did not commit suicide – that it murdered me. We need a UBI (Universal Basic Income) that's enough to support a thriving family and is tied to inflation. And that's possible because we were born into the age of automation.

In the UK with a company about to make £1 billion in 2022 UK inflation is about 11% Pay offer for 2023 is 6.75% and one off payment of £3750 So company are saying equivalent to 20% raise and I say it covers us for 2023 but then come 2024 it’s equivalent to 4+% pay cut. Thoughts?

On a side note does anyone know how to shrink a bright multi coloured “polyfabric” shirt without destroying the colours?
