Antiwork

Hello everyone, I am writing this as an opportunity to vent. I can't express enough how upset I am by this whole situation. I am sorry this is long I just need an outlet to let this out. I am a recent graduate with an Associates Degree and got the opportunity of a life time. I was offered a job as an operations manager, $70K a year. I thought it was a little odd they offered me the job when I have barley any experience but pushed that aside to be excited for my future which would be able to start sooner. The job started and they never really trained me. My boss used to be an operations manager 4 years ago and he would half teach me things as he would go along. He was also a new hire and stated that he only took the job because he…

I am not sure if this is the right place to put this. I just got the most high paying job I've ever had. The last almost 3 years have been an incredible struggle trying to maintain financial security. For that reason I have no money to drive into work the required 3 days in office, or to pay for parking, as my employer only pays $80 a month for parking and the building is in the center of a busy metropolis. I took a very big risk and pretended that I sprained my ankle last night. It seems that HR and my boss are okay with me working from home. I am only planning to work from home until I can afford to drive again, which will be on the 15th when I get paid. However, they are wanting a doctor's note. Obviously I didn't go to the doctor.…

Hello everyone, I am writing this as an opportunity to vent. I can't express enough how upset I am by this whole situation. I am sorry this is long I just need an outlet to let this out. I am a recent graduate with an Associates Degree and got the opportunity of a life time. I was offered a job at an event company in a huge hotel in Boston to be the AV Operations Manager, $70K a year. I got my degree in communications with a focus in film/production. Besides that I was the Assistant Director and Cast Manager at my colleges theatre for 4 years. I thought it was a little odd they offered me the job when I have barley any experience but pushed that aside to be excited for my future which would be able to start sooner thanks to the more than generous pay.

Some prior info: I am certified in several coding languages and software programs, and I studied at a state technical school for a 4-year IT diploma (not a degree, but most of the work that a degree would require and is considered by many employers as an equivalency) because I can't afford to go to college. I'm currently employed as a coding teacher for a school system. The hours are minimal, but the pay is great, so I was looking for a similar job to do to make some extra money. I applied to teach at a coding-specific meant for kids and teens for an extracurricular activity, because I am knowledgable with the material and teaching is my passion, and I have experience doing the exact same thing. Listing said $20/hr which I wasn't thrilled about, especially with my experience and credentials, but beats the alternative of being broke. Hiring…

I am an engineer that gets screwed by managers and bosses because I actually do real work. And doing real work translates into sucking at office politics. The more you work, the more problems you confront. The more problems you face, the more you get associated with problems. Your bosses don’t know shit. Your manager are dumb as a rock. But if you are the one working, then you provide them with something to work on – You. They get free content for future meetings to pose questions to you, place deadlines on your own work, and hold you accountable for not reaching that deadline. You become a subject of their internal cliquish gossip of how you don’t work because you missed on a deadline, effectively placing a target on your back. Others take credit for your work but blame you if shit goes down. Eventually you are fodder that…
