Antiwork

I work in a small restaurant. I cannot STAND Uber eats and doordash, plus all the other delivery services. Once I started working in the food industry, I stopped using third-party delivery services altogether. I have nothing against the delivery drivers. Honestly, I feel bad for them, I’m sure they put up with a lot of shit, and I don’t know how profitable it is with the cost of gas. The sound the delivery tablets make haunt my dreams. Imagine already struggling with in-person orders, and you have 3 tablets going off at once, all with multiple items. Those third party delivery services aren’t great for customers either. If you didn’t know, they up charge the shit out of you. As if that wasn’t enough, they also throw extra fees in there for good measure. Also tax. Don’t forget about tipping your driver! All of a sudden, a $20 order…

I submit my time sheets on Monday for the week prior, all filled out, for my supervisor to sign and submit. Today she accused me of leaving early one day last week and writing in that I stayed until the end of the day. What’s weird is that I hadn’t even gotten the chance to bring her my time sheet yet – regardless of the fact that I didn’t do what she accused me of. In fact, I had proof in the form of an email. To her. Sent two minutes prior to the very end of the day, and I don’t have access to my email from anywhere else aside from the office, not even my phone. Now, this isn’t totally relevant information, but I figured I’d share – I have PTSD from a very abusive situation I was in many years ago that left me terrified to be…

anyone else who was – initially – ashamed of not being useful/valuable? anyone else who reached anticapitalist conclusions before others around you & felt extra ostracized as a result?

In response to an earlier post about a similar thread from Europe lets post our job title, region and wage and see what others get 🙂 Add a bit context if you want.

I work in NC, I started a job a few weeks ago. My second pay check was significantly less than the first. After reviewing the pay stub I noticed a deduction for a few hundred dollars. The itemized paystub said 401k contribution. The thing is I didn’t opt into any 401k plan. I gave the company that handles my company’s payroll a call, and they told me when I was being onboarded I was automatically signed up for this and I should have opted out then. They told me they couldn’t do anything without the owner of my company getting involved. I sent an email to him last week and haven’t heard anything back.

I’ve been working for the same company for over 3 years now and I’m on my third department within the company. I’ve hated each one, but after coming back from vacation out of country, I’ve found my job more unbearable than ever before. I’ve had a mental breakdown both days since coming back and found myself paralyzed on my day off, unable to do anything, even things I enjoy, all because I know I have to come back to this shit for another 40 hours. I don’t want to quit because I need the income and insurance, but I can’t take this anymore. Nothing at my company ever works. I don’t like the work in this particular department. Even if I wanted to switch to a different department again, I can’t because the company has a hiring freeze now. Quitting is scary, but maybe it’s time for me to quit.…
