Antiwork

I was recently reprimanded for not doing enough on a work project and I can’t find the capacity to care. Anybody else? Not sure if this subreddit is the right place to post this. Some background: I graduated college during the pandemic and moved out of state to work for a startup in a pretty niche industry. Once I got there, the job was nothing like what I imagined with completely different responsibilities. The culture was awful, with a lot of drinking, long hours, poor leadership, just a classic toxic work environment. I found myself learning a lot here, but I was losing hours of sleep every night and was so anxious that I eventually started anxiety meds. I quit that job and moved back home to work for a nonprofit whose mission, theoretically, I believed. I thought the mission driven work would be a way for me to take…

Apologies if this is the wrong subreddit. Yesterday I was contacted by a recruiter to discuss a job opportunity. We set up a phone call for this morning, and when the time came, I received no phone call. I looked back in my email because his name must have pinged something in the back of my mind. This person had previously reached out to me to set up a phone call last year and similarly never ended up reaching out. My question would be, what exactly is the deal? Why set up a phone call only to not follow through? Is part of their job just showing their superiors they made Linked In reach outs but have no incentive to do the follow through on them?

Just posted about whether or not to give notice to a job that was extremely toxic. Sorry to post so much! The business owner of my current job is a narcissist who has continuously picked on me the past 7 months I've been here and threw 2 peoples' jobs on me when they quit. She picks on young women, mainly, and is always screaming. It has my fight or flight response constantly going off. Also, extreme micromanager with fucked up work from home/sick day policies and she doesn't trust her very kind, competent employees to do their jobs. So I need to quit because I think I'm getting an offer today. My plan is to give a fake two weeks notice to make sure that I get paid Friday, and then outright quit before Monday (after she inevitably tortures me for doing this). But anyway…. what to say, what to…

My mom just got laid off from her job at BNY Mellon. They are as anti-worker as you can get. Every time workers tried to unionize over the years BNY fired every single supporter. This has happened several times. They also hire thousands of people only to use and abuse them and then lay them all off after they've provided their usefulness. They just laid off thousands to get bigger profits. “Make the books look nicer,” My mom asked for accommodations a little while before she got laid off because she has a disability. They denied it and now that she was laid off, she was thinking about suing for disability discrimination, but her last words on the matter is: “You can't fight a big company like that. You just can't.” Do not work for BNY Mellon. Period.

I know companies do background checks on Facebook, Twitter, and other social media accounts. But what about Reddit accounts? I mainly use this account to vent about work and working as well as post life related issues.

A lot of companies market DE&I – they post MLK quotes and pics on MLK day and so on. Then the next day they post their team and the diversity is only displayed by haircuts and clothes. They look like: 🧑‍🦱‍🦱‍️

I’m sure this is probably one of many rants on this subreddit, but I feel the need to get it off my chest. I am currently 24 years old, working a job that does not pay enough for me to live on my own, but is quite demanding. I have gone through all of grade school, 4 years of college for a Bachelor’s degree in Business, and spent a year and a half after graduation looking for my first career job, working manual labor jobs in the in between and only landing a job with my degree after roughly 400 applications. I never had interest in my degree, but I gave up passion for comfort and decided to choose it so that I would not have to worry about being broke. I went to community college, and then to a 4 year university close to home so I wouldn’t be…

So from November i have -58 minutes that i have to work extra inside of the next 3 months. I got this news 2 weeks ago so i dont know when those 3 months started. Last week i asked my boss to stay longer and he said no because there was nothing to do. Next day same stuff but i didnt ask because there was even less to do. Today wasnt possible because there was nobody anymore to let me out of the building Tomorrow ill try to ask again and on thursday too but what do i tell the HR Departement (?) when they come running to complain why i didnt balance my hours? Obviously i'll try to ask next week again but at what point do i say “fu*k it”?
