Antiwork

Pretty short story, just pretty wtf. I work at a diesel mechanic shop that provides roadside service to semi truck drivers(as well as in shop services ofc). On Thursday my coworker went out to replace a trailer tire about an hour away in another city, and while he was jacking the trailer up, the trailer slipped off the jack and tore the tip of his finger off and crushed the bone up to the middle knuckled. He was rushed to the local emergency room and they had to remove the finger up to the middle knuckle(2/3 of his finger) due to the damage done to the bone and nerves. He spent the weekend in pain and on some pretty serious pain medications ie percocet. I came in to work today and was extremely shocked when I saw him here, in uniform. He informed me that our boss told him he…

I asked for a pay raise for months and she fucking strung me along ‘im working on it’ and now i have a new job offer and she just wont offer any increase instead of just saying no she dissapears like a fucking evil little troll. So now im just totally resentful that she doesnt give a shit about keeping me and stringing me along. Im gonna start calling in sick and just totally fuck her scheduling up. And twice today these men i jjust met had the gall to ask me if i liked my job or say ‘u dont seem to be having a good day’. I feel emotionally fucked over by the boss and im just calling in sick cuz fuck this. I cant believe ive allowed fear and guilt to just control me and keep me in line when i have a choice to not show…

I don't think you should be treated this way even if you're the worst at doing there what you do. Because at the end of the day, no matter how bad I was at doing things, I was actually trying. It wasn't like I was purposely messing things up. I actually was enthusiastic about it all. much I love it. Hell, twice now when I've gotten jobs I specifically went after BK to try to work there. Long story short, I finally quit and this is how it went down. I was on drive-thru, which is something I've done before many times. But on this particular day something was a bit off about the cash register. Normally you press a button and that gives you the next order, but this time whenever I pressed it it just brought me back to the first order, no matter what. But fortunately there's…

There’s the owner and then another woman (let’s call her Annie) who seems to actually do a lot of the work that he doesn’t. She actually makes sure that people who are scheduled for shifts not within their time are actually okay with doing them. Sometimes I just want to quit cold turkey because of this shit. It’s so frustrating seeing him schedule me and then I text him within the hour to let him know I’m not available and then he tells me to ask Annie to fix it on the schedule AFTER HE WAS THE ONE WHO JUST SCHEDULED ME. And then they have the nerve to tell me to ask if someone else is available to do the shift they assigned for me when they didn’t even ask if I was available in the first place. Now you put it back on me to find someone else…

This story is from several years ago when the rules behind what type of employees could be salary exempt. I was working in a fast food place at the time and the assistant manager fell into this bucket. Basically he worked more than 40 hours every week and now the new laws stated he had to paid overtime. The companies solution to this? they recalculated his pay so he would make the exact same amount of money. He was rightfully pissed and complained about for all of a week until he sucked it up and just kept at the grind. It sucks that companies are legally allowed to do this type of thing.
