Antiwork

Hi, I work for place that makes the things that hold two pieces of metal together. I had started there at the beginning of last October. I did the training, got certified for the things I need to be certified in. The best part, I was never late and never missed a day. Each batch I am responsible for gets checked by the quality department to make sure it's up to snuff, I have yet to get a batch rejected by the quality department. When I finished training I was told I would get a 50 cent raise (huge raise right there). I completed training at the beginning of January, tomorrow is March and I still have yet to receive that raise. The company also gives everyone a raise at the beginning of the new year. Those raises just came out today, my coworker B (bless this man) showed me…

This one in particular was destroyed and looted numerous times by the residents there – he once told me he had already file over a dozen insurance claims against the property totaling over 250K according to him, normally we didn't deal with these homes, his right hand guy did personally for obvious reasons. He bragged that he was making more on insurance claims than rent. Later when his wife died he bragged to us that he stole it back by convincing one of his friends to testify that there was a contract for the return…

Or are the processes confuse? Do you know who is responsible for what ?

Our employer called us all for a meeting except the person being fired (classic I guess). He told us that our colleague will be getting fired in a few days and to prepare his work to be outsourced. I have a very good relationship with the imminently dismissed. The employer's decision to tell us before telling our colleague had me (foolishly?) thinking of three possible outcomes: I forewarn my coworker and the cunning employer understands that I told him by the possible lack of genuine response of the dismissed, I tell nothing and the cunning employer points out that he has already told me, so no need to tell us (I am 90% sure he will say that), and my coworker will feel betrayed for not being warned by me, I say to my boss something along the lines “you shouldn't tell us first, now I will be saying my…

Hey guys. Im writing this bc i guess i just need to get it off my chest (thats very sick with some kind of upper respiratory illness) and to get support from my people on here that im doing the right thing. Sorry I'm trying to use humor to deal with things right now. Im sick, ive been staying home and Im scheduled to go back to work at my restaurant tomorrow. I thought id see how im feeling but since im still sick, ive decided i have to go ahead and call off my shift. I'm bummed because not only does working help my mental health but also as a single mom, even missing a couple days of work will affect me financially, as I don't get paid sick days. I do plan on going to get tested for Covid in the morning..I know the right thing to do…

Why are annual bonuses paid out months after the year they are for? For example, I’ve worked at multiple companies and you get a bonus for 2022 paid out in March or April. Why do companies do this? Is it to motivate people to stay longer at a company? Like, well it’s April and I got my bonus. Might as well stay till next April since I’ve already worked 1/4 of the year. Don’t want to lose my bonus.

Lets say, hypothetically, that someone hated their shitty job and faked an illness, and after 6 weeks, the job has continued paying them and has even stopped reaching out to see when they'll be back because they are incompetent and has seemingly forgot. Lets also say that this person is in New York state. Are they entitled to keep every dollar that the company continues to pay them, even though they haven't worked a single minute in almost two months?

Just started working at a cafe that has extremely high turnover. Bad owners/managers who nitpick, expect a ton, and don't hesitate to demean or belittle in front of customers. As such, a lot of people quit without notice- they just walk. When a person does this, whatever hours the person is owed are paid at minimum wage rather than their standard hourly rate. In some cases, this can be $7-10 dollars difference per hour. Management assures me this is legal. Feels deeply shitty and suspicious at the least, but curious to hear what you all have to say.

I'll never understand why people say 'be greatful you have a job' I mean, why would I be greatful for a job that doesn't pay me a living wage, a job that makes me dead inside to the point where I would rather be dead than work another day more and overall a job that treats me like nothing more than a number in their statistics. Yeah, soooooo greatful. There's nothing better than slowly killing yourself for a company that doesn't give a fuck if you fell down and died.
