Antiwork

I work in a food truck and the air quality in my area will be really bad. Do I call in? My boss said I could take yesterday off if the smoke bothered me. I knew it would, so I took him up. Blegh. I want to go back to working indoors.

So a little bit of background info. At my current job I've had a habit of showing up 5 minutes late to work. Apparently that's too much time or something. Usually I show up on time but sometimes it's just not possible. Anyways I've been looking for a new job that pays more. Currently make $17/hr which pays the bills but not for much else. Well just found out I have an interview on Monday for it. So I put in requests for time off so I could go. Well my manager comes and asks why I put in the request. I tell him I'm currently looking for a new job and was going to let him know so he can find a replacement for me and I can help train them. Apparently that's not an ok thing to do because he tells me that they no longer want me…

I’m sick of this corporate BS. Now I have to make up a bad thing about my coworker who I really like.

I don’t care if this message gets acknowledged or not but it’s time to stop basing attendance on a bullshit point system. We need a workers uprising, drastically, and getting rid of points based anything needs to go.

My manager told me to start with only keeping girls who are between the age of 20 – 24 and discard the rest. His reason for female: because females are less likely to jump to a better job opportunity. His reason for age: because they have more job stability and won't leave in a year. I told him that I don't agree with that. On one hand, you can find people in their 20s jumping from one job to the other in less than a year, and you can find someone in their 40s or even 60s who are happy enough staying in the same position for years to come. I told him that…
