Antiwork

This type of call center consists of cold calling random numbers and getting them to complete a survey over the phone. Our goal is to get as many completed surveys as we could. It contains various questions regarding their child’s medical information and vaccine history. If the person refused, we would have to try and persuade them to stay on the phone. I felt so miserable trying to get their personal information. I can see why people over the phone told me to fuck off. I felt like I was a scammer, even though we sorta work for the government. My first real day of work starts in a few day and I’m contemplating not showing up. The shifts consists of 6 hours of continous cold calling and i’m not sure I’d be sane at the end of it. Also, our first day of training class had about 25 new…

This is my first time as a server. The offer was that the tips are pooled and I would only get 25% of my share until I could prove myself, then I get 50%. After that I’d need to open and close the shop and do bookkeeping to get 75% and a written exam is 100% after 5 months. How fucked is this?

all around the world, every day, people live filler lives and one day they go to sleep for the last time and maybe they even get to wake up and lie to themselves that their life had some meaning, some use, some purpose and it wasn’t some horrible, pathetic, sick & cruel joke. working your ass off with coworkers* who don’t care about you, (* = “people”) working for bosses* and managers* who also don’t care about you, working for clients who (surprise) also don’t care about you, working for money so you can pay for health insurance that’s inextricably tied to your job so you might have a chance at surviving an illness or injury that might even stem from constant unrelenting stress or unsafe working conditions, working for money so you can afford that car that works just enough to get you to and from your job that’s…

My dad got fired on Monday after 35 years . My grandmother has been battling covid so he’s been by her side. They let him go for a no call no show. He had been using vacation days this whole time. Fuck loyalty it doesn’t mean shit! 35 years and 27 in the Army.

Hello all. I (20F) quit my job at JoAnn Fabrics about two weeks ago because I got a better paying job for a lower position at a grocery store. The TL;DR of it all is that COVID was not taken seriously at my workplace and the general manager was on a bit of a power trip. With that out of the way, let me get started. This might be a lot. I was hired at JoAnn Fabrics in October of 2020 to the tune of $10/hr, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic being in full-swing at the time, or rather, what we thought was full swing at the time, I got an extra $2 of premium pay, so I was making $12 an hour as a part-time cashier. The premium pay went away in January of 2021. I stayed in this position for six months until they mentioned that one…

Our town centre KFC has recently had its opening hours extended into the night, without the staffing being increased. Orders are stacking up, staff are stressed, and it’s leading to mistakes. I’ve been stuck here an hour whilst the 4 staff members handle the 40+ orders being submitted hourly. How do I help these people? I’ve tweeted to them, but it’s tough to specify details without risking the workers’ getting fired etc. What do I do to raise my voice in support of the people who suffer dealing with this mess?

I work at a fast food restaurant, and we are always swamped on Super Bowl day. We have orders placed days in advance. We had about 100 orders that were made in advance that Sunday. And because we have new cashiers that don’t know how to do their job, they ended up giving some people their food for free. (call-in orders get paid for when you get to the restaurant, and these cashiers didn’t know this) So I ordered my free employee meal today, one of the VERY FEW benefits of working in fast food, and I’m told I have to pay for it. That nobody is getting their employee meal for the rest of the week because so many orders got handed out for free. One, this is not my problem and, two, this is definitely not legal. So I’m pissed. Nobody is ordering their employee meals so some…

The IRS, US Government, and State have taken out a total of $5000 out of my paychecks last year for taxes. I work full time and get paid $17/hr at a job where if something goes wrong, you can really hurt yourself (ex. getting sucked into an engine if you’re not careful) I’m trying to make ends meet. What do they pay me back in taxes? Barely $700. I only get 14% of the money, I gave away, back from these leaches in Washington. This country is fucking ridiculous.
