Antiwork

Took a retail position out of desperation recently. All the reminders of why I hate retail presented themselves to me within the first couple of days. I’ve explained to the manager several times I need accommodations regarding standing, as I have chronic pain and struggle with fatigue from previously having covid. My position wasn’t described as a cashier role at all, I as under the impression I would be doing more admin and office work. Not only do I feel lied to, my physical health is starting to deteriorate. When I had roles such as a large pile of returns I needed to create new price stickers for, I stepped out of the way of the cashiers and took a knee while working. I was kneeling for maybe 3-5 minutes while using the device and I finished pretty quickly since I wasn’t in pain during it. That task also didn’t…

Recently my supervisor came to me and told me “congratulations you got a raise” and I was happy even if it was .89¢ because I thought it was given because of how much work I do. The next week I found out that I wasn’t the only one to get a “raise” but instead every person that has the same position got a “raise”. We have pay charts showing the range and when I looked at it I realized it was a slight bump up while people who got hired after me who don’t have the same training as me are getting paid the same amount. I’ve been covering for a woman for almost 2 years now that only left me a training document to figure out how to do her job as well as work in my regular area and I have yet to see a proper raise or…

Hey group,Unsure if there's anything I can do here, or if by doing this I risk losing severance, so wanted to ask y'all. A company has terminated my department's roles, and stated on a zoom call I'd receive severance. Since my employment day 1 was within 90 days, but I signed my contract more than 90 days ago, they made a mix up. I was emailed 2 termination documents – one with several weeks of severance, then a follow up with 2 weeks and a message saying to disregard the first document. It's a lot more if I sign the several week severance notice, but if I sign it, is that binding? Or could they just not sign it? Or does that stance jeopardize me getting ANY severance? I live in an at-will employment state, so they don't have anything keeping them from doing it. Any advice here? TL;DR was…

First start by working less, cut your work rate by half. Then sell the original work back to your company as a premium service at 2x the price. Step 3 win capitalism

Is this Malice? We work in MN and our workplace is showing down and today my buddy was threatened to be fired if he keeps talking to me and while I know and he knows that we shouldn't be talking we spend very little time doing so and others in the workplace do it day more. Furthermore there are coworkers I have who do far less one of them has missed a week of work and takes days off frequently, another takes enough smoke breaks in a day for the whole week and the dude who threatened him actively stands around talking while not working whereas my buddy and I will do something while talking. I don't get why people are expected to go to work mindlessly and not communicate to each other in any sense other than work like seriously why do managers care about the little people increasing…
