Antiwork

I used to work full time at a prop house but after 6 months I had to leave because my boss was becoming increasingly impossible to work with. She would angrily text me hours after the shop closed if she wasn't happy about something to complain and then demand answers even when I was at home and had to work off memory of the day. And the days when she'd wait until I was in the shop to address an issue, she'd talk down to me like an idiot. She'd ask me last minute to stay late to help her pack her own rentals which she always left to the last day because, as she put it, she worked better under pressure. If she was upset with me she'd give me the silent treatment and be extra friendly to other stylists and staff. She was supposed to review a raise…

My boyfriends boss just denied his time off. A week ago he said it was because someone else was also taking that time off. The two coordinated together so that he would be there the days my boyfriend would be out (two days). Now today his boss says he’s a “key team member” and cannot take any time off until their no longer understaffed. They have never NOT been understaffed since he started working.

I put my 2 weeks notice in yesterday. I’m a systems engineer at a small company (about 600 employees). My company is known well for under paying staff badly, it is the main reason I am leaving. Fast forward to today… I was helping one of the Office Managers and had to copy a bunch of files from their personal network folder. When I was back at my desk I opened a few all at once by mistake and one was an excel export of all salaries company wide. It’s so much worse than I thought. Everyone except the few at the top (maybe 30 people) are getting ripped off. Those few at the top? They’re getting it MADE. I’m talking $550k/year for executives when a supervisor that works twice as many hours makes $60k/year. I want to share this info what don’t know how to do so. I don’t…

Nothing else lined up. Pay was shit. Mentally exhausting. Dickhead POS executives and dumbass management. Some people were aii tho. Perfect recipe for a shit company.

I'm a teenager, and overheard my parents talking about how you shouldn't discuss your salary or you get fired / bosses get mad. Which, of course, didn't make sense. Since I'm still a minor, and am learning about the world, I asked why.. and they explained. It still doesn't make sense. So, someone negotiates $55k/yr, and their supervisor negotiates $53k/yr, and that's fair? No! Give the f*cking supervisor a raise! Hard work plus good job should equal increase in pay. Am I missing something..?

It's nice to know it's not just me who thinks our capitalist overlords can go to hell. Thank you for being so awesome.
