Antiwork

i’m literally just typing this because i’ve been thinking about it all day and i just need to rant about it. my boss only comes in once a week, Tuesday mornings and he’s usually only there for a couple hours. i always bring a big coffee with me, and i drink a gallon of water a day so i pee a lot… like honestly i pee probably once an hour. so this morning i use the restroom, walk outside, and get immediately back to work. my boss approaches me and goes “hey, are you okay?” i looked at him confused and said “yeah.. why?” and he says “we just noticed you go to the bathroom, like, a LOT. and we just wanted to make sure you were okay” ?????? what????? first of all who is we?? is this a thing? have all my coworkers been talking about my frequent bathroom…

What are potlucks for, can you get in trouble for not participating in pot luck. Can they try to fire you secretly for not participating in that. Where does the rest of the money go to? Why should I join the potluck group and give money away every week. Job is requiring 10 bucks every week or two for pot luck. Every month I have to pay , multiply that by all the employees and when I see the receipt for food. Sometimes the food that was bought is less than the total amount of what everyone payed in total. Then they continue to do the pot luck every week or so, and the math is not adding up , where is the rest of the money going to.??? For sure perhaps some money is being pocketed. Mash potatoes, and chicken wings , rice, mac and cheese and some soda…

I remember when my company had to go work from home for about 4-6 months during 2020 as was mandated by the government. I remember how tough it was for me. This was a new concept, we were locked in our homes (we were literally mandated by the government to not get out of home at all for some time). What did that meant? The key employees were no longer working 8 hours a day…. we were now working 24/7. Literally. At midnight, we would get calls and had to handle it. And of course we were too scared to say anything because pandemic and loss of income was keeping all of us awake at night. During this time, the government allowed the companies to reduce the salary by upto 50% (but on the condition that the work load will be 50% of the usual also, along with 50% of…

Hey antiworkers, ​ Need some advice from your side. I'm a middle manager in a listed company, working and living in a country where it's very difficult to fire anyone without a massive severance package. I busted my ass for years only to discover recently (the magic of shared files on google drive) that my predecessor was paid 20% higher than me while being at a “lower” hierarchic level (ie less responsibility). Most of the managers at the level below are also paid 15-20% above me from what I gathered. People at the level above are paid double. I don't have any data on any employee at the same level as me. I have been trying to get a raise for months and even threatened to resign if I don't get it but my manager doesn't seem to care / be able to grant this raise. I don't have any…

Hey there- so you've read the title and you get the gist. We just don't know what to do now. He's texted his boss a few times (there's a few people in charge there). At first he told this particular boss to just send a check to our home address because his direct deposit had not gone through for some reason. We asked our bank about this, and they told us that the problem is not on their side, it's something to do with the company he works for btw. And also by the way, this boss never answers his phone. Doesn't answer calls or texts, and my partner sends this guy texts all the time (it was always about having not gotten paid). He sent the text about sending the check to our home address 1-2 weeks ago. What steps do we take? This company was a car rental…
