Antiwork

My work wanted a doctors note for a period of time I was out for 3 days, but I had a scheduled vacation in between then and the next week when I took FMLA. After I took FMLA my manager asked for a doctors note. Then I got another email from HR asking for FMLA recertification. At this point I don’t know what they want from me. My manager is off this week on vacation but she’s still super adamant about the doctors note even though HR hasn’t said anything to me about it, only the recertification. Should I just ignore the emails and just get the recertification only? They can’t possibly expect me to get both right? I feel like this is harassment.

I'm in the process of finding a new job right now. Just started digging into what kind of information a background check actually pulls up. I was originally under the impression that it was a criminal record that was the primary focus and maybe a check on driving history for applicable jobs. But I see now that on top of that a background check can also show employment and credit history too! This seems like a ridiculous amount of information that a potential employer gets access to. So I'm wondering if any hiring managers can answer what does this look like on your end? Do you see a month by month history of my previous employment history? Do you see all of my debts and open accounts?

I make about $17/hr cutting carpets in a reasonably small warehouse currently I’m the senior employee though I’ve only been working about 10 months. Everyone else has been fired or quit. Currently we have a staff of 4-5 working warehouse including a new manager that was hired 3 months ago. I just feel stuck and defeated, my natural personality is a creator. I also see myself as boss so why would they hire a guy to micro manage me whom I know more about the job than he does. It kills my inner hero seeing them funnel all Information into him then in turn he rudely asks me to do the most mundane task the way he wants it. I don’t think I have an ego but at what point can I let my nuts hang as a man? Am I forced to just take peoples shit for a paycheck?…

I've been employed at my current job for 2 years i left and came back around 6 months in and they gave me a raise when I came back. I've been a good worker up until the past few months. I have stopped giving a shit because I had been given new responsibilities with a small raise. I then learned I was being paid the same as new labor assistants after being here nearly two years. I am “quiet quitting” but worth having a talk with about what they can do to make me happy. Lots of beating around the bush of giving me more money because then you'll be disappointed in a year when they don't give me anymore. Idk what to do now

Hi I just joined to vent and get advice if I can. I work at a place where people stop by my small building for tickets and then go inside and do there thing. I also sell memberships but that’s about all I do. Recently we have been down a custodian(1/2 total). We have had people apply but my job always turns them down since they aren’t the exact fit for the job. I just got an email that says me and my coworker are being temp custodians and need to help clean the bathrooms and take trash out one day a week. This is not at all what job we signed up for and I just feel like it’s so stupid. They’ve had people apply and the turn them down??? Why does this fall on me and my coworker? Am I wrong for thinking this way?

Hi there, looking for some help. I have never quit a job before, but I’m burnt out and ready to move on. For context, I work with adults with special needs and they’re great. I like my coworkers. Management is fine at best. But I’ve worked here for a year and a half, am overqualified for my job, and never got the title they promised me. I’ve been working as a program lead rather than an assistant to the Program Manager which they hired me as in 2021. I have a masters degree and am overqualified for my position – I only took it because it was the sole offer I had after a year of job searching after graduating in 2020 during the pandemic. I have taken new roles whenever they asked and bent over backwards to help in every way I could. I have made my case several…

And I’m in such a fucking mood about it. I shouldn’t hate my job. It should be a pretty nice job. I went to college and got a degree to do my job. I work inside, it’s ten minutes from home and for the most part the people I work with are wonderful. But I don’t care. I’m tired, I’m unfulfilled, I feel like I’m working paycheck to paycheck when I shouldn’t be and I’m not going anywhere. I made a bad decision as a choice of career and now I feel stuck. Here’s to hopefully getting my foot on the first rung of the WFH ladder in the new year.
