Antiwork

I see a lot of people on the front page here just talking about how shitty everything is instead of actually discussing methods to make things easier. I'm a broke 22 year old who wants to live comfortably with the least amount of work lol. Where should I start?

My job decided to maliciously screw up my last week of pay because I decided to switch companies for a $4 an hour increase in pay and offered me 40hrs a week but 16 overtime hours. I go to look on my Kronos app and guess what? Instead of getting my regular $630 every week my last check will be a measly $77.12🤣 wtf am i gonna do with that honestly that won’t even last me until Monday morning. I’m so pissed off. It doesn’t it well with me every other week was smooth sailing but as soon as I tell them it’s my last week there’s a fuck up. Yeah right screw them.

I posted a funny comment reply to someone else’s comment on the Crying CEO meme. And then some really good/kind people I know liked some posts about how disappointing it is that people have made fun of the CEO. I feel like they saw my comment and think I’m some demon.

I was negotiating with my company regarding my pay and increase. I make more than 20% less for my position, and didn’t agree with their “raise” which I found, honestly insulting. They keep asking me to sign off on my contract change (just pay that is changing), but I don’t want to “agree” with what they presented. However, people are telling me I will just be stuck with what I’m currently making, and should sign off on the raise and look for other work – which I’ve been looking for months now to no avail. What should I do?

so, never thought I'd post here but I'm going to give you some back round here. I've been working at this retail job for about a year now and I've loved every minute of it! our store is slow and we are actually allowed to bring laptops, play on our phones etc as long as work is done and that's mighty fair. yesterday I come to my 8 hour shift seeing there is a note where our chair usually is saying chair stays in the back employees stay in front stocking and cleaning. I've got a bad back and the owner knows that so I really appreciate the fact that we even have a option for a chair. So.. his son comes in who has been a part time employee turns out he's the one who put the sign there, and he came up to me and says man didn't…

My manager hasn’t taken PTO time in two years. Not even one day. Recently, they started scheduling a day or two of PTO here and there. And yet, even when they are “off”, they are constantly online, responding to non-urgent things and overall just still working as if they weren’t on PTO… Not only is this unhealthy for them, it’s unhealthy for me because I never get a break from them, LOL. I don’t get it. What’s wrong with you? Take time off. None of this shit is urgent.

The stories of things that happened to me at a certain coffee chain…btw I only worked there a year I had a woman ask if I had a disease because I had acne she asked if I was contagious I had another woman say that I needed to cut down on the sugary coffee because I was “getting big” (I’m 5’6 and weighed at the time around 150) after the woman told me I was fat she proceeded to complain to my coworker who had heard the interaction and he gave her 20 dollars in gift cards for “the poor service” (I told my manager about this and she sided with him and said that customers would not be asked to leave unless they were bothering other customers it didn’t matter how they talked to us) we had a man threaten to kill us because we closed the same time…

So this is something that has been bothering me about antiwork for awhile. Its not just this sub but other antiwork places on the internet. I keep seeing post, ideas and memes that are actually bad for the antiwork movement when you think about it. One example is a cartoon I saw on Instagram. It was of a manager asking why her boss gave the cashier unlimited bathroom breaks. The manager is upset and the cartoon seems antiwork until the last few panels. There someone is telling the employee there is a line and the employee is sitting on the toilet smiling reading a book or magazine while saying “occupied”. I could just say this cartoon is anti antiwork as it depicts what a lot of management thinks will happen if you don't micromanage. That workers will just slack off. Yet I've heard so many on this sub advocate for…
