Antiwork

TLDR: I quit after 20 years. On October 3rd I went in on my day off and gave a 30 day notice. Context. I am a lead imaging technologist for a large company. I am the only nuclear medicine technologist. I gave them 30 days is hoe that they could find another tech to come in and get some sort of training before I left. I hit send on the email and got an immediate call from my bosses boss. He asked me what was wrong. I told him it was simple. You did not invest in to my career development. I found a job that was willing to invest in me. As a human. He asked what he could do. I told him that he needed to get the wheels in motion to get a replacement. Do not waste your time getting a counter offer together because November 4th…

They want highly technical worker to work weekends, and non-normal work hours, non-remote in WASHINGTON DC ( a very expensive area) for ***drum roll***** 70k. Ummm no. They said they have. good benefits. I emailed them back stating I expected pay and benefits to exceed 175k before I even looked at the offer. Oh and they want someone to start ASAP. Pssshhhh.

Am trying to get myself a better job and yeah like the title says I don’t really have anyone. If anyone is interested we can DM and I can send you a script/we could work out details there. Thank you so much in advance!!

I'm blessed to even have a job that is able to pay employees “Covid relief pay” if we are able to submit a positive test. They will pay 5-10 days worth of pay for this for any employee. Yesterday I took a Covid test with a positive result and submitted it to our HR department who assured me in writing that I would receive this pay and to not come into the office. I feel like absolute garbage and was so relieved by this. This morning, however, my manager reached out to me to ask if I'll work from home to make phone calls all week and essentially work on my coworkers problem files for them all week for the same exact pay that I'd be receiving for just recovering and doing no work. There's no possible way that I can be on the phones all week because even speaking…

I’ve received a few over the years. Personally I can’t think of a more desperate way to get people to be employed. I just delete the emails right as soon as I get them.

I work for a help desk that is severely understaffed right now. Turn over rate isn't the worst in the world but it's not great. We are overworked every day. I currently don't have the numbers for how many people we have on staff, but I do know this: as of right now, we currently have: 1 director who oversees all of us 3 managers 3 leads …and the rest are help desk analysts. Today, our director announced the hire of a 4th manager. To make matters worse, this manager is an outside hire, i.e. someone who has never worked here before, and is going to be trained to be in charge of some of us that have been here for years. Instead of elevating someone internally. I already know this is not going well within our team, and it's causing a major morale issue, as if it wasn't bad…
