Antiwork

I often see many people on here defending celebrities including athletes, actors, and musicians who have 9/10 figure net worths because they have earned it through their labour; essentially that they haven't stolen the fruits of others labour. News flash, they do! You really think these people keep their money tied in their primary residence and a bank account? No, they invest in businesses just as much as any other wealthy person. Seriously, stop licking the boots of billionaire celebs, their priority is how well their portfolio is doing.

Throwaway account. For more information, I work as a server and I was scheduled last week to work Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday morning. I worked Monday and after my shift, my throat started to feel sore. The next morning, I felt feverish so I told my manager that I texted some coworkers to see if they would come in, but no one responded. She said it was okay and to not come in. Tuesday night, I took a COVID test, it was positive. I told her and said it wasn’t a good idea for me to come in, she said to text her at 7:30am Wednesday before my shift to let her know if I was coming. I texted her immediately stating again that I wasn’t coming. She says to me ” That’s okay, I hope you get better quickly. Please keep me posted” Then, my friend told me to…

The employer did not explicitly state this requirement at the time of hiring. Anyone have experience or expertise in this area?

My coworker and I put up small pride flags behind our computer on our office desks as we are both members of the LGBTQ+ community. When I came in this morning management had taken them down. I work for an insurance company in the UK and they emailed last month about how they support pride but obviously the middle management in my office building have a different perspective. What should I do? Put them back up and see if they take them down again?

I'm starting saying that i'm not from USA, so they can't really fire me or anything and English isn't my first language. Yesterday i got messages from my manager through a coworker saying that i must resign when there are 10 days left to the end of my contract. I know that i don't have to resign but still i wanted to share with you, probably i'll get calls from him trying to convince me idk. My contract is close to the one of a freelancer but it isn't the same.

Hi all, sadly, I was recently harrassed at my work place by upper management. I won't bore you with the details here, happy to provide via DM if that's helpful to anyone. Let's just say though I was invigilated, micromanged, and assurances were not honored by the employer. I am looking into legal action on the above, but in the meantime I find myself extremely stressed by this whole situation. I am stressed, anxious, depressed; developed stomach pains and lost weight. I would like to take stress leave before I go crazy. This would provide me time off that is paid and a shield from further employer harrassment. In my country (I'm not American) I do that with the government work employment program. I have to see a doctor and fill in a bunch of forms where I describe my condition. My concern is that the gov body comes back…

I worked for a breakdown company in the UK, one of the biggest ones. The yellow one. This was my first month I didn’t like the work but I was deciding to see it through for my wife who is in another country, to get her visa done. This company had rostered me to work 9 days in a row Tuesday to the next Wednesday after. It seemed weird but because I just wanted to work and get the visa and everything out the way, I was ready to work the 9 days. They then turned around to me and said that working 9 days in a row isn’t legal… I said okay what’s going to happen then, they said sorry it’s our mistake we will give you a break in this 9 days. Within the 9 days they gave me 2 off. It seemed fair at first until I…
