Antiwork

Local BBQ place near me has been having staffing problems for months. They post to Facebook about fast paced, friendly environment, flexible hours, with benefits. Starting at $18-22 an hour. Friend interviewed they offer you $14 an hour, which is just above our local minimum wage with “opportunity to quickly get raises” uh huh. The hours? Morning shift 4am to 230pm. Or day shift 10am to 9pm. The benefits? A free meal with every 6hr+ shift, but just the cheaper meals with 1 side. Now they are crying about only being able to open for 3 hours a day. Mind you this place charges $25 for a brisket sandwhich and 1 side. It's good BBQ I admit but you can't lie to people about pay, then cry when they won't take the bait.

I'm talking myself into quitting my job – welcoming others to join in, as well. The job I currently have is at a college. I work on what's essentially internships for NP students (over 110 each term). The workload is unmanageable. I'd been doing pretty well for about 1 annual cycle, but for a lot of reasons, the whole thing is falling apart. The healthcare industry is collapsing here, so student placements have dried up, which requires more of my time to try to hunt down opportunities and pushes more and more other tasks to the wayside. After nearly 2 years of this, the whole thing has fallen into disrepair. On top of that, I keep track of each students' immunizations including COVID and annual flu, student licensure, certificates, and make sure they keep up with them. When a student does actually get a spot, each of our sites has…

So I’m an accountant in Canada and work mainly only public companies, I’m in my third year, just wrapping up my CPA and this busy season really had me and my coworkers wondering what busy season is like in Europe. Really looking for any European with experience in big 4- as in what are your hours, do they change much for us January to end of march all my weeks are minimum 60 hours of charged time to my clients or I get dinged (I know it’s not as bad as a lot of people here and the wages) we don’t get paid overtime, and we also don’t get to bank the OT – In Canada at least only 1 firm lets you bank overtime all the others you basically just have to work those hours for nothing. Really curious if it’s much different as I have the opportunity to…

Hi everyone, I’m currently on the tail end of my plumbing apprenticeship in Indiana. My original plan after receiving my journeyman/plumbing contractors is to leave my current job and go out on my own and work for myself. However over the last 6+ months my girlfriend and I have been considering moving out to Northern California. We have vacationed there multiple times and prefer it out there in pretty much every way. She finished college last May and is currently working outside of her degree so changing job fields wouldn’t be an issue for her. I don’t have a college degree and don’t want to change job fields either. My question is what difficulties might I face joining a union with my background? We’re on different codes and the license would not carry over from what I understand. Would I have to completely restart an apprenticeship? Does anyone have any…

I personally did I quit 2 jobs because of this (the first was a woman and the second was more like the toxic environment) and Im afraid to take another job; by the way Im 23 yo male.

Curious as i want one for my WFH job but of course I’m hella scared about getting caught. Anybody know of any good, reliable ones that won’t break the bank?
