Don’t put in the extra effort for the employer, do it to sharpen your skills and increase your value. Your value to the company is irrelevant, no one gets thanked for just doing their job. If they’re a crap company boy are they going to miss you and maybe catch the hint. If it’s a good company and you want to be there than all the better, if you finally hit the top, how skilled do you think you’ll be by then? Your company may not need that person, but someone does and so the next step up is with a different company, no? Change your thinking, your hard work on yourself and your skills is the point, the byproduct is that the company your at does a little better, so what?! It keeps you under the radar because you can always be counted on, in that same line, DON’T…
how i learned to relax at work
i remember one of the first conversations i had with some coworkers at the job i started working a year ago was how i felt about other staff members just standing around talking while i worked. at the time, i said that was their own problem and if they wanted to do a shitty job, that was on them. at this point, i'm one of the people standing around talking and you know what? it's great. the difference between then and now? i learned how to relax. i started last year at christmas time in the warehouse of the store where we'd get 12 skids of inventory every morning with a team of around seven people. it would take a very fast paced and stressful hour and a half to get everything in the shipment sorted and unloaded. the rest of the day in the warehouse was very simple and…
Called out today to my pretty shitty retail job that I just work a few days a week at. Called manager and left message that I’m not coming in (like 5 hrs before morning shift) because I don’t feel well. A couple hours later I get a text saying “If you get better come to work later because you knew we would be short staffed today” Mgr didn’t even wish me well or anything but seems to have tried to guilt me for calling out. Should this really be my concern or should I really be caring this much? I’m amazed I’ve always been on time and a good employee, yet on this one occasion that I rarely call out im just told to try to come in later when I clearly said im not feeling good. I feel like there was no respect in his message. Lol. Do I…

Welp. Screw that sociopathic robot. Liked the rest of the crew. But I had to deal with this empathic less robot 8 hours a day.
Lets move!
In the light of recent informations we need to get more active! Lets get to the street! The FBI is watching us here. We need to decentralize this subreddit taking the risks of splitting but we wont be taken down by conservative forces! Spread the movement in your lives dont keep it online. Get the movement out of their controls.
It’s also really sad because to me, due to the pandemic Antiwork pre-Fox-interview and Black Lives Matter could have together become the single biggest anti capitalist movement. Some of you may not identify as anti-capitalists but this subreddit DID start as an anti-capitalist place. Any anti-capitalist movement or forum with 2+ million users is going to get attention from news media, governing bodies, etc. It is in their best interest to make everyone in support of things like Black Lives Matter, or antiwork, or the people at late stage capitalism seem stupid, lazy, entitled, and dangerous. Anyways, what a tragic waste of opportunity.
