Antiwork

I started working at my current job back in September, where I was hired into a severely behind administrative department – behind because there was no one working in the administrative (needs at least 2). It's now been nearly 2 months, and every time I remind my boss, hey, I was hired to do one job, not two, she says she's “still looking”. I'm behind on a lot of work because the work I'm given needs to be done by 2 people. I was hired a month after the last person was fired from being the only person working in administrative (which I actually agree with, because a huge majority of my work is correcting all of the previous' mistakes 😐 so that's been fun truly). So it's been total 3 months where they've had the opportunity to hire the second person. So I'd like to hear your bets. How…

Hi, r/antiwork. This is my first ever reddit post, so, apologies if I don’t meet any formalities or rules that are a commonality here. I just needed somewhere to set my thoughts. Currently, I work 72 hours a week at 12 dollars an hour. Im fortunate, my parents care enough to let me live with them, but I feel a cloud of guilt.

Growing up, I admired the beauty of what was around me. Now, I only live in fear, not knowing if my future is certain, or is riddled with debt and misfortune. I try…

TLDR: I used to enjoy my job, but being understaffed and overworked has me ready to quit, the only thing keeping me there is the people I work with I absolutely adore most of the people I work with (boss isn’t alone on my DWTS list, there’s a couple coworkers on it). I get along with everyone, even the ones I’m not a fan of (that’s a story for another day). Today, though, I was ready to flip the table and duck when I took my lunch. We had 2 new guys join the crew, Monday, and we were insanely busy all day, but we had the manpower to handle training the new kids, running the registers and taking care of a crowd, today we didn’t. Today was just as insane as yesterday (we’re talking close to $1M in sales, each day), but we did not have the needed manpower…
