Antiwork

While my employer is inclusive in their public image and want to look good, on the inside they are smelly and rotten. My father had developed alcoholic liver disease and my mother couldn’t handle taking care of him, I took intermittent FMLA and my employer and manager completely turned their attitude around on me when I’m in the office. They started to have a cold demeanor and talk to me like I’m a child. I’ll say this one last time type talk They want to push someone out of the door just because they need time with their family. I know what they’re doing, and it’s mentally draining.

The headline pretty much says it all but basically a team leader at another branch strangled another staff member up against a door for “not doing as he's told” (his words) and got a suspension, demoted to staff and has to come work with us in a smaller laid back branch until Christmas. I'm absolutely baffled he didn't get fired first off, secondly I can't believe they've sent him here to calm down like we're therapists or something? I come to work for money not as training wheels. He still acts like a team leader as well but I'm adament about not following any passive aggressive order or I'll have absolute hell for the next month. The real icing on the cake is the man he attacked is the current managers son in law… and as a wannabe team leader he's constantly in the managers office with absolutely no sense…

I work at a print shop. The guy who prints all the signs is on vacation (which they should have prepared for) all week this week. My boss is his backup, but he was out sick today. My boss then decides it is my duty to learn/crosstrain on his poisition over the phone while he coaches me through it. Suddenly, I am the one who has to put out the dumpster fire he created. I told them no over and over and he gave me the “you're not a team player” speech. Give me a break, or you know, PAY ME MORE and be better prepared next time. Skeleton crews don't work if you're a multimillion dollar company.

I've posted here before asking advice on if i should quit — shitty management , no accomodations for people who need it, can't call out without repercussions, long shifts (retail), manager pressuring me to work more when i physically can't — so i know i need to get out. but i was still a bit on the fence until today. this morning i cracked my wrists, and one of my hands must have not cracked correctly. the area under my thumb hurts when i put more than a pound of pressure on it or i move my hand certain ways. i told my manager that i need to come in late tomorrow, possibly even call out because i need to go to the doctors. he tells me he'd rather me come in, and not to be too late, because he barely has anyone working tomorrow to close. even though we…

“Obviously if there is an emergency and you have documentation, you’re fine. But otherwise calling off in the first 3 months results in a write-up.” I am writing this post from work, sick. I do not feel good at all… I am sitting at my desk with 2 blankets on. I hate living in America. 🙁

Rising Fed rates have done little about inflation or increasing unemployment. If the goal is to increase unemployment, raising the federal minimum wage would bring more people into the workforce. When people stop looking for work, the unemployment rate calculation goes down because they stop being counted. When people re-enter the workforce, unemployment rises. Raising the minimum wage would encourage people to look for jobs that would pay a higher wage. This would allow businesses to grow and make more money. And that's what capitalism is all about, I think. The best part is if you think this idea is B.S. it's still better than the Fed trying to cause unemployment and a recession to lower inflation. Plus, people get paid more.
