Antiwork

So I gave my 2 week notice today. I just got a job offer 20k above the salary at my current company. So my direct supervisor was sad to hear me go and but said he had to ask if the company matched the offer would I consider staying. Now keep in mind I like my direct supervisor he’s had my back on more than one instance, he’s a good guy. His boss on the other hand had denied my raise/bonus for the 2022 year. Despite the fact that i was doing work as a Junior that formerly a Senior had done. It requires a steep learning curve, took me 2 months. But I figured it out and improved the process and have since been at it for the rest of the 2022 year. And continued on in the 2023 year. As of now the total of a year and…

It's been nearly a decade since I graduated from college and I've yet to find a job I can tolerate long term. Most of my job experiences have been very negative, as I imagine most of you can relate. I'd like to find a way to be self employed, if anything for the preservation of what's left of my mental health. Currently between all bills and expenses I need to earn about $3,000 a month to get by, which I realize is not a large sum of money compared to what most folks are working with. I've held garage sales in the past, bought/sold things from thrift stores, worked multiple jobs and of course done Doordash etc., but I'm searching for more ideas. What are some things you all have done to earn money outside of traditional employment? Looking for practical ideas. Thanks!

I read a lot of the posts in here even tho some of them are fake. However as a European I’m saddened to see how bad the work environment is in the US. It looks like there is just no system in the US compared to Europe. I see sick people that has to go to work to look after themselves. I see newly graduated people not being able to find a job in what they graduated in and therefore has to work in places like restaurants. I see people being forced to go to work on days off. What is all this? Why doesn’t the US have some kind of system to help the people? In my country: are you sick? You will get fully payed for the whole day(s). Having a day off? They can’t force you to come in. If they fire you because of this they…

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.
