Antiwork

TLDR; get hired, boss ghosted me for a month, start with zero training and quit same day Title explains it all, was contacted by an auto parts store to come back to work, (full time Uber driver) and thought itd be nice to get back to a 9-5. Boy was I wrong. 1st red flag was the fact that I went in for an interview and the manager wasn't there. He just started vacation and neglected to let me know. Ok. So I have the district manager reach out to me afterwards and apologize for it, and decided to to a phone interview. It's not my first rodeo in this field so I can throw my weight around with boundaries, the dos and donts. No contacting outside of work, hourly wages, days off, want to be full time, etc. He agrees and straight up tells me that they are desperate…

I regularly read all of the atrocities committed by management from y’all which has helped me as a manager/business owner learn what not to do. At my company we have permanent work from home, have 15 mandatory vacation days per year, salaries above the average market rate, and flexible work hours, in addition to unlimited vacation. 20% of revenue on any given project is distributed amongst the collaborators that made it possible in the form of salaries/bonuses, while the rest is reinvested back into the company. Wanting to learn more, I have searched “good boss” in this subreddit but have found relatively little. What are some things you desire from your managers and bosses? What policies are most important to you that management enact? What do you believe is an ideal company culture?

I quit my job today There is much to this. It’s not like I decided to not go. I worked at a warehouse Saturday, Sunday and Monday for three 12 hour shifts (never worked 12 hours) and was there for almost six months. The work was ok if it was steady. But the work was never steady. It’s always dead or swamped. My boss would send some of our crew home and/or into other areas in the building to work. Never failed that happened we were so swamped that we couldn’t keep up. Also we have to stay busy and keep our production rate up or we are in danger of being fired. This has begun stressing me out. I had a bully at work to boot. She was nice at first. However once she found out that she had started a month before me, she started bossing me around,…

Employers have nothing to lose when hiring educated workers because educated workers are the ones who have to pay their own money and time to get their degree(s). In addition, employers are still paying exploiting wages no matter what degree a worker has. Most employers are reaping all the benefits and saving lots of money by not investing in a worker's education and not paying higher wages. We have a system that is exploitative to the future educated workforce. There's no reason for a worker to go into debt after graduating AND working for an exploitative wage. Colleges should be free. Let's make all employers cover the cost of college because they are the ones to benefit from an educated workforce. Employers will still be making money. By investing in free public colleges, we can have a situation that benefits future educated workers and their future employers.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, all of these office buildings and leased properties are costing all of these companies tons of money without any benefit to the companies. Leases on buildings are generally ten year leases, meaning that these companies are legally locked in via contract to pay money over ten years. Now I'm not shilling, to be clear. This is the corporation's fault. Historically, there are pandemics with lockdowns and such once or twice every hundred years. Not to mention, social unrest, warfare, and any number of other things that could cause nationwide disturbances in business property. If someone had actually sat down and like, thought about ten year leases, they would have thought of some way to lessen the financial burden on landlords and companies if something were to happen. Some insurance thing probably. I'm vaugely guessing that there's a ten percent chance of a distubance in any ten…
