Antiwork

Thank you to this sub for helping me to make this decision. I only had the free account, so no big deal. The realization finally hit me that it was not helping me in any way and was only another stalking opportunity for anyone with an account. The 'private' views are what finally tipped me over on this.

It was hard being minimum wage, especially as I was the only person in the company being paid that little. When my review came along, my boss told me they were looking to keep me on minimum and reduce my hours. She wouldn't even concede to giving me a title only promotion. I was frustrated, but I said nothing and worked till the end of my contract and didn't renew. I legally, didnt even have to quit. My ex boss was mad, told me I…
