Antiwork

I’m a 6th year English teacher who’s tutored students for the ACT and SAT. I also spent 3.5 years working as an editor at my university’s writing center, plus I interned as an editor for a publishing company for 9 months part time. Despite this, I cannot get a part time/freelance copywriter job. Can someone say that I worked as a remote copywriter for 6 months at their company? I have all the necessary skills but can’t get jobs because I don’t technically have the “copywriter” experience on my resume. I’m losing money every month with my teacher’s salary and really need this second gig. (I know it’s shady).

After working (being exploited by the worst pow i’ve ever known) for 2 and a half years for 800€ a month, I applied to a well paying job that is really interesting after learning the opening from a good friend as her teammate ! Wish me luck, it could literally turn my life around !

I'm scheduled to come in at 3:45pm Friday-Monday and I'm part time and go about 29 hours. I work both host and busser at a restaurant chain. We close at 4pm today because of the super bowl so I slept in. Go on about my day and I receive a text from my manager saying I'm scheduled to come in. Why? I either have to uber 4 miles which is around $15 from work to home or home to work, or walk 4 miles. I have 1 vehicle and that my Step-dad uses for work and he works all day Friday-Sunday. Why should I have to come in for 15 minutes when I don't even get paid enough to work 15 minutes. I'm not coming in when I won't make that much in 15 minutes. Prior to us closing Saturday night the bussers asked if they needed to come in…

I literally never want to go to work anymore. I've worked only 3 days this month so far because I just can't force myself to go. Even just a few hours is torture for me. During my shifts I literally feel myself losing my sanity as the hours go by. I start having weird mannerisms and feel like I'm holding myself together from exploding. I constantly have to recompose myself. Does anyone else feel this way? Is it possible that I have some undiagnosed disorder and that could be the cause? I feel like if I had a job that I actually enjoyed, I would not feel this way anymore. I've worked a handful of jobs where I got treated very poorly, and felt awful working them as well, but in this current job I get treated perfectly fine. I just don't feel like it's worth the mental and physical…

I've been working in retail on minimum wage most of my life, never had a pay increase, worked most weekends on similar rate. Etc. Never felt properly valued. Yesterday I finally got a remote part time job and they asked what I expected hourly. I went for a 35% increase from my current job, nervous they would decline it. They said “I'm happy to pay you that, but I think you're far more valuable, so hopefully that can be much more in the future”. So don't forget, you are valuable, don't let your shitty minimum wage job make you think anything else!

I am a lawyer. I see people asking legal questions all the time. The law is complicated and can be confusing even for practitioners. If you have some legal question please put your Country or State (if US). No legal question can even begin to be answered without some basic jurisdictional information. Thank you.

I just accepted a job offer for a position that pays quite a bit more than my current job. I am also in school and the new position is in the field that I’m studying. I really like my current job, though, so it was tough to put in my notice. I really like my coworkers and my boss, and I was very touched when my supervisor told me how hard it was going to be to replace me. I still have a week left before I leave, and they just reposted my position. I make $28,500. Job postings where I work include the pay rate, and the new posting has a range from $28,500 to $42,500. There wasn’t a range on the pay rate when I applied, and even though I had actually worked in this position for my employer a few years prior, I wasn’t offered a higher…

I recently came to know a lot of people don't get annual pay raise. This is wage theft. Everyone deserves a pay raise that at the very least matches with inflation. If I was not getting one, I would immediately start looking for a new job. I know a lot of companies do at the very least 2% to 4% raise every year on base pay.
