Antiwork

This is my first real job out of college and it’s with a small family business. I’ve been there a few years now and not until last month did I realize that I’m allotted sick and vacation days. Last month the owner told me this, so I’ve been trying to figure out what to do from here. I was very sick a few times this and last year and did miss a lot of work (this is easily documented with hospital visits). He told me that my unused vacation days can’t be rolled over but I’m hoping I can at least recover my sick days. Any help is greatly appreciated.

After months of incompetence from both GM and AGM my coworkers and I wrote a letter to the owner of the company. After less than a month of investigating the GM was terminated and I even got an apology from the owner of the company. We were incredibly understaffed and I was so burnt out and dealing with mental health issues that I left to take care of myself. Since then I’ve been told that things have gotten a lot better and all my old managers were begging me to come back. I had made good progress and therapy so I decided to give it another shot. In my original meeting with my new GM I asked about the AGM and she told me that they would not be overseeing my work and there would be minimal contact with them as they do not work in my department and they…

I've worked at this place for 7 years. I had quit once before, but they asked me back and I went back against my best judgment. For the last 11 months I killed myself for that job, destroying both my mental and physical health in the process. I've gone well beyond the scope of my job to ensure the success of the branch. And today I got fired for trying ro calm myself down. The worst part to me is that I just started the process of getting help for my depression. I was literally just diagnosed yesterday. I was so happy to finally be getting treatment. I had it all planned out. Things were looking up. But this asshole had to have a meeting in the middle of a busy work day. He keep asking questions about a survey we took months ago and, no matter what we said,…

I’ve been with my company for over 4 years. First time in 3 years I didn’t get a raise. I spent most of this year covering someone else’s job after they quit. Just found out the person I trained this year got a $10k raise and is making more money than me now. Suggestions on how to approach this with my bosses?

It was an NDA because they found out, and I’m trying to leave out as much identifying detail as possible lol because I did sign that shit, that their herd of goats they bred and sold to various local farms small and large (even to breeding herds) all carried an ultimately fatal genetic illness. And they did not disclose this known diagnosis to any of the farms they sold the goats to because “it’s on them to quarantine and do the genetic testing”. It was so screwed up, literally whenever our boss would leave us alone with customers we’d do our best to warn them in a way that wouldn’t get us fired (cause we were the only ones who really made sure the animals stayed healthy and alive, so we were afraid to leave the situation at the time). Am I wrong in thinking that was pretty fucked? I’m…

So the manager of the fast food corporation I work at goes to seminars and stuff where the company teaches them how to retain workers and boost productivity. Basically, it's the plantation owner teaching the overseers how to pretend to care about their wage slaves so they work better. Anyway, I overheard my manager say “people aren't loyal to companies but to the people they work for.” I'm quitting my fast food job cuz the manager who I spend most of my time with doesn't like me and I don't like her. I'm a good worker and dependable but she gives “no matter how hard you work, you're still not meeting my standards” vibes. Everything I do is too slow or wrong in her eyes and when she's on the floor, my stress and anxiety levels spike and when problems arise, I don't think “I should tell the manager” I…
