Antiwork

A previous employer of mine let go over 500 people a couple of weeks ago. Most of my connections are from that job, and the number of posts I have seen essentially thanking that company for having employed them is disgusting. Imagine being fired with no warning, not being able to say goodbye to your clients, coworkers or boss and then having to go online and display a good attitude by being the bigger person and saying thank you for everything? The company then had the nerve to make a post about how much they do for their employees. Fuck off, Noom.

Ok so still in high school and I'm preparing to apply to university in about a year. I'm not sure what I was to be yet and I was mostly leaning toward business, engineering, law, and maybe even Biomed. I just wanna get some co-op pay which they said was like 50k a year (which is insane considering it's literally the average salary). I just don't wanna get messed up by student loans and be able to pay for rent and food and stuff. Maybe after that, I can get a job that pays like 100k a year and possibly 300k later on. Is it realistic or am I tripping?

My mom told me the other day “If you don’t work, you don’t eat” .. shit is so sad but true.. Regardless of how tired you are you got to work. Wtf.

So I (20F) basically work as a store shopper for groceries and stuff and lately things have been rough. (Bars.) On a serious note, other employees keep approaching me asking about my age and when I say that I’m 20, they just act surprised and say that I look 15. But that’s only because I’m frickin 4’11. And whenever I ask for help, I keep getting laughed at. There’s also this passive aggressiveness I’m starting to see from my managers. They expect me to work quicker and quicker but it’s so hard to find certain items especially when they’re out of stock. It takes a long time. It doesn’t help being compared to other peers because of this. Like gosh I’m sorry that I’m not rich enough to experience that amount of grocery shopping. It’s expensive over there. I just don’t know what to do so I sent a resignation…
