Antiwork

Happy holidays everyone my boss has been making everyone who is sick come in to work anyways. Even people who had covid. My Assistant manager had covid like a week ago and still comes into work without a mask. He got two or more people sick. Then everyone got a cold and it was probably the worst cold variation so far. How are we expected to get better if we’re coming into work sick? And how are we supposed to prevent spreading stuff if we are coming in sick anyways? Why do only certain people get to call out? I tried leaving early this past monday because i have bronchitis, but i still came into work cuz i knew my boss would throw me under the bus or demote me from my new promotion. She came up to me after i had told one our coworkers/bookkeeper that I would like…

So I have to use my car for work(reimbursed at the recommended level) but it seems like a cop out for companies to get their own vehicle for it. Am I the only one of the mindset that comparatively a barista doesn’t bring their coffee maker to work so why would someone bring/use their own car? Luckily I pushed back and I have been able to get a company one for most jobs I’m on now. Just curious what other people think I guess.

Billionaires have such a god-like ego that they literally believe that people solely exist to serve them. They push so hard to make sure everyone’s waking moment dedicated to them. They demand everyone be on call to suck as much work as they possibly can out of their employees. All the money they make off of our backs, they use to build shrines and monuments to their own vanity. I’m convinced the only true reason we work anymore is to fund space programs for billionaires. The cost of labor has gotten so cheap, that there is no incentive for a billionaire to pay us fair wages. We have become slaves to their system. I truly believe this is the mindset of ALL billionaires. Their disconnect of the average working person and themselves is so great, that they no longer view us as humans, but as profit generators. Working tirelessly, destroying…

I started working a seasonal job earlier this month, and it’s been fine. It’s just mind numbing retail and it brings in extra money. But the problem now is the management contstantly pressures me to work more hours than what I am scheduled for. Whenever I am closing, they say I can’t leave until all my work is done. The workload is a ridiculous amount, and I always come up with the lie “I have a ride waiting for me.” Then, whenever I leave they asked me to come in 2-3 hours earlier than when my next shift is supposed to start. They do this every fucking shift and they make it hella awkward and pressuring and push it fucking hard. I just want to make some extra money and make it til the end of the seasonal period, but I’m starting to get really annoyed

So I’ve been at my job for 6 months, Last week I asked for an sds because there are frequently damaged products that come through and I want to know what I’m handling and processing with my bare hands. They have never once supplied ppe for me. This was met with “well are there any concerns?” by two of my superiors on separate occasions. I simply replied both times that I would like to know what I’m handling. By the end of the day there was an sds in my email. Reading through this particular sds I saw the chemical makeup and there are two elemental metals that “under normal operation” I shouldn’t be exposed to. In the event of a broken seal handle accordingly; followed by suggestions for handling and protective precautions. The email also ensured to say “under normal operation you shouldn’t be exposed” We keep our damages…
