When is society going to step up?

I am not sure if anybody else is thinking this but what happens as a society when most people across the country aren't able to keep up with the costs of living? Or is it just me? Well, in that case then okay. 🤷‍️

Bad employer asking for my password?

I left a job recently and handed over all equipment. He was a bad boss and unqualified to have his role and people in our department because of him. He has mental issues as well. Now he has been pestering me on email to give him my password for laptop and cellphone or else I won't get my pay. I never had to do this before and I feel he just wants to snoop. IT should be able to reset my laptop password but normall it should be wiped. The phone part I don't understand can't they reset it themselves? I find what he is doing is illegal and if they don't pay me then I'll report them.

r/Antiwork : r/Wallstreetbets relationship

Alright, I know the title is catchy but here is what I think Wallstreetbets consists of very few great traders, and the rest are very bad traders and lurkers. Most of them with small capital that can ranger from few hudreds to few millions. It's our right to be part of the financial system and inverse or trade in equities, etc. But when we realize that the biggest market maker is also the biggest hedge fund manager, we know it is nonsense. I feel that subs like that are propagating the same ideas of self made billionaire and that working hard and smart investments would get you anywhere. Ideas that are harmful to our collective mind. While I enjoyed the GameStop saga, I also realized that little success was more harmful than beneficial. Retail investors didn't serve the real purpose it should have served which is that we need some…

I got fired today for not smiling enough

For context I have been told that I need to smile more. The last two weeks I have been trying, consciously aware of smiling more often and whenever I see a customer. I work as a waitress/all rounder. I put in my all at work, smiling chatting greeting. But I can understand what they have an issue with. I am a deep thinker and I think it can be at the forefront of my personality. However after watching how my colleagues act I thought I was acting the same. I have a suspicion that it is when we get busy and I have to concentrate, then my resting blank face kicks in. Customers have complained about my face being blank. Other than the things mentioned I am a very extroverted and happy person. Always singing to the music and throwing jokes around, joking with my coworkers. And I have a…

accidentally opened p0rn website on work laptop

Hello guys, I am an idiot. Maybe also cause this is not really anti work. I have a private Tower Pc at home. When I work from home I connect the monitor, mouse and keyboard to my work laptop so I can work on the big screen. Anyway, yesterday morning I started working as usual, then went for food at lunch and afterwards was in the mood to watch dirty movies. I did not turn off the computer during lunch break, went back to the desk and my idiotic brain just thought it is my private Pc cause it was on the big screen. I watched porn for maybe 5 minutes till I realized. First time I ever went on a website I shouldn't. Did I fuck up big time?

After working long shifts I have come to a startling conclusion.

After 8hrs people become unproductive and generally fuck up everything they touch. I advise employers to stop the barbaric practice of 8+ hr shifts in physical or monotonous jobs. Anyone who wants to continue longer shifts needs to ask these questions. 1) Are constant fuck ups worth the shift extension? 2) is higher staff absenteeism worth it in order to run longer shifts? 3) Is higher staff injury worth it in order to run longer shifts? All in all longer shifts are not worth the supposed benefit they seemly have. I did a long shift today. I fucked up two pieces of equipment. I do not find this an acceptable cost in order to run a longer shift pattern
