Antiwork

my supervisor (50f native american/mexican) was sitting next to me (27f white) at a meeting and i looked over and accidentally saw her typing “n*r”. the phrase i saw was “being a n*r”. the text on her phone is massive, couldn’t miss it really…i don’t have context outside of that but i don’t know how to proceed. i’m in shock that she would be writing that kind of thing… how should i move forward? ask her about it? report it to my manager? and if i do report it, what would i say bc i don’t have context or proof…..

I see posts stating 20-30 isn’t enough. I mean that’s $60k /year at the high end. I would imagine a TON of folks would kill to make $60k a year. What wage are folks after? I’m a bit older. Have a good career and make good money. I’ve recently been diagnosed with ALS and only have 2-3 years left to live. My priorities have changed in life drastically. I’m very “lucky” to be in my position in regards to my job. But it got me thinking. This diagnosis and having a low-paying low-benefit job would be horrible. What’s a good live-able wage. If we could set a yearly minimum, what would that be? Me, I’d say nobody should make less than $50k a year.

I'm a mid-20's college dropout with very limited work experience. The little experience that I do have is mostly retail, and I just scored a retail leader position this summer. I'm not in love with the place, but I know the products they sell and knew the job would look good on paper, so I decided I'll stick with it for a year and go from there. It's only been two months. I've been cross-trained in all departments and expected to know everything even though every dept has their own leaders who are probably paid more than me. Low payroll leaving the bare minimum number of people on the floor and making it hard to meet our goals and help customers at the same time. Keep getting scheduled closing shifts and opening the next morning feeling like I've never even left the store. The schedule is only made a few…

I work for an event company and i was written up based on a lie. But i have no proof other than my word. I have been with this event company for several years and i have gotten nothing but positive feedback from literally all of the clients. We recently got new management and it feels like i have to start from scratch to prove myself. I recently just worked an event for a client who was incredibly rude to me but i was being professional and being nice to her. I can tell 100% she was being jealous and a hater. She asked me if i can take off my uniform and give it to her because she liked it. I said this is my uniform i cant just give it to you ( what is wrong with people) and thats when she started talking about me to her…

I just quit my toxic job and before I left I wanted to leave some flyers reminding people of their rights, the value of WLB and qr code links to review the company on places like glassdoor. I wanted to do this before my last day. If i were to do this, are there any legal repercussions I should be aware of? My employer is located in Seattle,WA.

I am in a somewhat niche field which requires specialized experience using certain software. I have been unemployed for about 3 months now and have applied to probably 100 or so jobs, and have had about a dozen interviews. I don't have a problem with employers being picky. I get that they want “the best candidate”, but please stop interviewing 8-10 people for one position. I'd seriously rather not waste my time with an interview where I just reiterate what's on my resume and describe a few projects. You should be able to narrow down your choices more before asking people to travel to your office. Most of these jobs are with local governments, which means I have to drive all over to do these interviews. I don't get paid for any of that. Gas in California is over $6 a gallon now in most places. I'm quickly depleting my…

I recently left a work from home position, a job that was unchallenging, mundane, and too easy. While working from home was great, I quickly became isolated, and the work itself quickly caused my ADHD to plummet. I grew so bored of the job that I honestly hated clocking in. But, boy do I miss it now. I had paid PTO, immediate benefits, and a great work/life balance. I thought maybe a change would help me, and I wanted to make more money. I took an opportunity locally, in an office. The work itself is what I did (digital marketing) about two years ago, managing social media. I really enjoyed myself. I didn’t make much money, but the team was great and I excelled. I was excited to get back into a similar role, one that paid me much more than my previous positions. The job itself is engaging, fun,…

I'll come in extra early sometimes to work but if I'm late one time she goes totally ballistic on me and gives me death stare. We usually get two free meals if we're on time but she'll refuse me dinner if I'm late but my female coworker gets to have both regardless how late she is and she's been working longer than me. I just feel it's a very eggshell sexist environment she harrases me like crazy whenever she's in a bad mood I get paid combined with the tips $17 an hour. Thinking about going back to warehouse for that sweet +20 an hour if I get lucky. Don't have to deal with rude customers and a very harassing boss that's passive aggressive and insults. Tl:dr Feels like my boss is very sexist and bias only hard on me. Need more money

So I am working locally in an cafeteria. I love the hours. Hate the pay. I wanted this job to work out because of the fact that I wouldn’t have to drive far. However, today I decided that I might already have to move on. Between the crappy training and unpaid 20 hours of off the clock training I’m supposed to partake, it’s only the bottom layer. The top layer was the meeting we had right before lunch. Was told that we needed to be better time managers. Kinda hard to be a good time manager when we are moved around constantly, not trained and new to the job (two of us are new). I’ve begun applying for other jobs out of town since where I live jobs are scarce, or you have to have a certain name to get a job. I hate it but this job is just…
