Antiwork

Why not strike and make them fire you? Keep your EI benefits intact and it's the same function essentially. I see people in squalor asking if they should give the company 2 weeks notice while forfeiting their EI voluntarily. Don't @ me about people's fears. I understand what holds people back, it's to get people to think about their situation.

This might be long but I will try my best to shorten it. So long story short I was taken off the schedule for a week and I’m not sure where to go from there. So last week on Friday I did contact my manager and let him know that I can’t come into work because I wasn’t feeling good. Well he seemed upset and demanded that he needs a doctor’s note or otherwise it might not work out for me. Now before I visited my job, I have a friend of mine who works at the same store informed me that an employee snitched on me for calling off cause I was “high”. I kept that in mind and decided to also let my manager know about that. So anyways I couldn’t provide a doctor’s note so the next day I stopped at my job to talk to my…

Currently on two, one is 4 and half hrs a day and the other is 2. Could quite easily give the 2 hr one up if I'm honest but the extra income isn't bad. Its nice to have a “fuck you” job, one that I can quit at a moment's notice and not look back, hopefully it doesn't come to that though

I started at my job in August as part time. For months I've asked about moving to full time (because my parents cant stop badgering me) and I've been getting the runaround. I've talked to other part time staff and they've all said the same thing. “Good luck with that!” The most they've given a long time PT employee is 38 hours. She's there constantly and works her ass off. It really put things into perspective and made me understand to just stop asking. Truthfully I don't even want full time hours here. (I don't want full time hours anywhere but I definitely cant make livable wages part time where im at now.) “No one wants to work” is the biggest crock of shit I've ever heard. I used to feel bad about not contributing to the full time work grind but now im just like “it is what it…

You know what really bothers me? The fact that on top of not increasing salaries, white collar jobs are asking for longer hours. Not only are you demanding more labor for less money but yr demanding more of my finite hours on earth. I just got an interview where the director said shes often on the floor until 10PM stuffing thank you notes (that could definitely be picked up the next day). I have a big interview with a law firm thats 9-5:30 but Ive been told repeatedly i dont get to ask for more than the salary being listed (im not going to say what it is in case they find this) ​ If yr asking for 42.5 hours (or more), then I expect that to be reflected. The job is non exempt but i doubt over time treats those 2.5 hours as overtime and again, for what. That…

I am 16F, almost 17, and I have applied to almost every business in town. I've never gotten a call back or any response other than “sorry, we won't hire you”. One time I submitted an application for Dollar General and as soon as I hit “submit”, I got an email saying they wouldn't hire me. Even McDonald's won't hire me as a cashier, and McDonald's hires everyone! It's not that I don't have a resumé or anything, I submit resumés and cover letters, I have references related to my experience, but I've never gotten a call back. I'm not sure what to do at this point. My mom has been super frustrated over me not having a job, but I've been applying to jobs and none of them have shown interest in my application. She half-jokingly said she would support me if I sold feet pics online, so I'm…

This is the second time I've had an interview scheduled where the people interviewing me haven't even showed up at all. Both were for reputable companies and 1 of them, I have already been employed with for about a year and a half. It's starting to get old. It's very disappointing.

I work in an office of 14 employees and I’m the only one who did not get sick. Because we were down so many people, he opted to come in 2 days after testing positive and inviting three others to do the same. The first day, I called out, declining to work in that environment. The second day, I had to come back. I was lucky enough to remain healthy, but I just have lost all respect for my employer and several coworkers after this. Currently planning my exit.

My 25yo son was recruited by a hiring specialist to work in a furniture store. He was made to drive two hours for a drug screening even though the city has many local places that do this. Then he was made to do a mountain of intake documents and finally training. He was paid $100 and told he didn't have a job. He was promised a $20 per hour job and was left upset and jobless. His GF, also 25, has worked at a southern owned grocery store for three years. She was hired as part time but allowed to work up to 40 hours without benefits. Because she's listed as part time any vacation time she takes is unpaid. She ask for a week off, she was given seven days off but scheduled to work a four hour shift in the middle. She asked her manager to fix it…
