Antiwork

Would anyone else agree COVID benefited corporations and now small businesses are diminishing?

So my boyfriend is quite popular on tiktok, he posts two or three times a day. He's not allowed to use his phone at work unless it's for an emergency, or it's his lunch break. So he can keep up with the algorithm he makes videos in advance and schedules them to post at certain times of the day. His boss actively checks to see when he posts the videos and tells him he shouldn't be using tiktok during work hours. Although my boyfriend has already explain once that he posted these videos via a schedule on his work break the boss keeps emailing him to tell him to stop using it. He doesn't know his boss's username and can't find them to block them which I suggested. Is this normal, what can he do about this? Sorry if this is a stupid post, my partner's autistic and it's making…

I don't actually know what the American work environment is like or exactly what social services operate there, so I thought it would be interesting to see others' thoughts on this. I'm studying fulltime as an undergrad, taking interest-free government loans to pay for my degree (which costs A$5000 per semester or $30,000 for the full run). That degree should lead into an occupation which a google search tells me could pays average of A110,000 p.a., though entry level jobs seem to typically pay about A$60-70,000. Anecdotally I've heard that getting a first job in the industry is hard, but jobs are easier to get with job experience. I have some relevant volunteering and internships under my belt, so I'm not too worried about getting a job with enough effort, especially if I'm willing to move to some random country town. As I was starting Uni, I didn't really try…

Why make me go to the effort of writing the same thing over and over just to ask me exactly the same questions yet again in the interview. Read. The. Form. Or don't ask for one in the first place. Not even a paid job for crying out loud. Smh

So I work in a mentally draining industry/department of industry. We've seen at least 5 people resign in the past year and a half that I've been working for this company. We've gone from 8 full time employees down to 5. They keep piling on the clients to their current employees because they can't find replacement employees. I was one of these full time employees. But the stress of the job got to me so I went down to 3 days a week working as a “fill in” where needed. A person recently resigned. They've been trying to find a replacement. They interviewed someone who was qualified, but they chose not to hire them because this person had contingencies. They wanted to work from home for part of the day due to having an autistic son. Working from home is entirely possible in this industry, but they don't like it…

Hi all, I work supporting victims of domestic violence and abuse. I advise them, emotionally support them, make safety plans, educate them on how to spot signs in the future and how it affects children, write letters to legal professionals and housing services to help them get moved and get legal aid entitlement, liaise with other professionals… lots of other things fall into the role. Lately I've been finding my cases are becoming more complex and needing so many more actions. I manage my own caseload so if I don't do it then it doesn't get done. Each case is taking longer, and taking more supervision conversations with my manager. I was finding myself in the overtime trap of 'doing myself a favour for tomorrow' because there just seems to be too much to do within our paid hours (overtime accrues TOIL but isn't paid, as such) It's absolutely mental…
