Antiwork

There is nothing more unappealing to me than seeing an invite or email to a group interview. At one point in my life I could understand why some companies prefer them over individual interviews, but now I just think they're unnecessary. You don't get to speak to your candidates one on one and you're basing it mostly off of how they interact with one another. Works out if you're incredibly friendly and good at socializing, or just faking it. But if you have no skills to back up your words they won't know that. It just feels lazy when companies would rather shove 20 people in a room to talk to them all “at once” rather than talk to someone one on one and just see how they interact with you at that time. Anyways, small rant over.

This is going nuts, the amount of capitalist bigotry and bourgeois bootlicking in the comments is incredible for an anti-capitalist sub. If the goal is to encourage people in becoming self-conscious that work is fundamental component of capitalism and that to get rid of work we have to get rid of capitalism, the fact that there is an army of confusionist propaganda trolls relentlessly tone-policing any redditor that wants to criticize capitalism overtly has to be considered as an obstacle to this goal. I won't answer to trolling and skepticism this is not a debatable post, it is a sore statement.

Just heard the news about Elon Musk laying off thousands of people at Twitter. I just want to rant about how I am hoping Twitter loses so much money that Elon can regret his decision. Twitter was in a good standing, there was no need to purchase it, it was just to boost his ego! Now thousands of people lose their job because of this billionaire who is a POS.

this sub is cringe af. 99% of you all are just entitled whites who grew in a good spoiling house

A few days ago we had a department meeting telling us (for the second time this year) our hours would be cut. When I started the job we were promised 48 hours and it's now been cut down to 24 hours. They are making us come in a third day for a significantly lower rate of pay, to avoid calling it a lay off. The department manager tried to spin this as a positive thing, saying a nearby company was doing full lay offs. I made a comment under my breath that at least they would be able to claim unemployment. Two days later I was giving a coaching for my comment. Part of the reprimand said ” (company name) is a good company that takes care of its employees and this comment is unbecoming of a (company name) employee” It just hit me hard because I have several opportunities…

Was hired on at this company mid 2022 and things overall were going pretty well. My coworkers were nice, the workload was more reasonable and I thought I found a nice place to stay. But my boss, she was toxic and dismissive from nearly the beginning. Based on previous experiences with bosses like this, I documented things here and there. I keep my documentation to facts from email conversations and try to avoid speculation or feelings. I didnt think much of it at the time but if nothing else I could have it if the time came, plus it relieved stress writing it down. I also have a coworker who was hired on shortly after me who I soon found out was going through this exact experience as me, but I would say worse. She also documented interactions with my boss where she was being toxic, making false accusations etc.…
