Antiwork

Would be for front of house. Just curious what your experiences have been, good or bad. Anything I should know about working there if I get offered the job?

TLDR: At the bottom. This just happened, I went to get a haircut at one of the big chain haircut places. The girl was checking me in and kept yawning hard and seemed kind of out of it. At first, I thought this might be a heroin or pain pill situation even though this is a fairly nice area and haircut place. There was only one other girl in there, and she was finishing up a haircut, I honestly thought about requesting her, but my politeness gene kicked in so I didn't. This girl zombie walked me to her station, and we began chit chatting. She told me she had passed out earlier that morning while cutting someone else's hair. She said she recently found out she might have type 1 diabetes and her blood sugar was low. She had picked up a new medication for it that morning but…

I am a construction superintendent manange commercial construction sites. I was working for a company for 3 years, the pay got me by but there came a point where I felt it wasn’t balancing out with the time I put in (salary) especially considering inflation. So I started applying around (while still in my position) until I got hired with a new company that paid more, and gave me this whole a run around about how they are like a family etc. It seemed like it was going to be a great gig that I could work at long term. I was working there about 2 months, they didn’t really have me doing a whole lot kind of bouncing around to different projects. I figured there was a job in the pipeline that I would take over soon. The company was moving into a new office space which was a…

When I start as a new employee at food establishments, employees will tell you “oh we get 50% discounts on certain food items”. Cool. Love it. But then you watch these people turn around and make themselves food or get free food regardless. Like, why are you trying to get me to pay for food when you don't? I understand they've been there longer, but still this happens pretty much everywhere I work. It's ok though, I'll bring my own lunch.

Hello, My job just told us today that they are removing 4 holidays from the calendar leaving only 7 days off a year w/ 5 days pto. Among the holidays removed was MLK day. I already had plans to visit DC that day and literally just found out I have to work….

While I dont work for the specific department that just made this choice, I have been the next person to make the jump to that department after one of the boomers retire (~2 years). However, just today they announced that once they do retire the responsibilities would stay EXACTLY the same, but what they were willing to pay was going to drop… ready for this… 20-22k a year. I am now without a doubt leaving this company. I've been strung along for years, promised this high paying job because I was the exact candidate they needed… to now find out at best I'm getting a 4K raise. Oh and to boot, the educational requirements have gone way up. The boomers needed a college diploma in science to work here, I needed a fucking masters. But dont worry, I dont mind making less than my dumb fucking senior of an employee…
