Antiwork

Hello, I recently graduated with a bachelors in physics and astronomy and now I work as a physics research assistant. I make $19 an hour. I want to know how exactly do you find and join a union for my field, and what the next step would be? I just want to make sure I’m making the amount of money I deserve. I feel like I don’t have any leverage when it comes to asking for raises because if my professor says no, I’m just gonna say damnnn ok and keep working for her, because I don’t have any other job offers that pay more, so it’s not like I can say no and stop working for her.

I have lived in some version of domestic violence my whole life. I think I am too disabled to hold a job (ADHD, with probably some undiagnosed autism and learning disability). I have started a freelancing business, and I have one client, with one or two pending clients (in the process of showing them what I can do). But, I am scared I will never be able to support myself to live on my own. Unless I can make this freelancing thing work. Which I am trying to do. But, why is life so always fucking hard? I feel like, whenever I tell people about my life experiences. They can’t relate. I feel like, why did I have to end up this way? I know feeling sorry for yourself doesn’t help anyone. But, I am running out of hope. I keep being told, therapy can help. But, therapy doesn’t give…

no source, but i swear to the almighty goddess that is true as truth can be on the internet nowadays. ​ when they invaded brazil and bf using slaved ppl from africa, the portuguese tried using the locals as slaved, but soon realized it wouldnt work as well as in other colonized regions. the natives just dont had the same perception about “work” than the portuguese. they said the natives were lazy, didnt like to work, had no ambitions. they did the bare minimum to survive and enjoy life the rest of the time. so, if the day work was done in 2hrs, they didnt go looking for more work. they just go to their hangmats, had sex, play, make war, talk etc. ​ when putted in forced labor, many just got in deep depression and stopped caring for life. they stooped moving, eating and just wasted away till dead.…

So Monday I'm going in to my new job to confirm employment with my ID and all that. Should I keep going to my current job that I dread? I'm calling in this next shift to go do some fun stuff with my partner, they think I need to get out due to being overworked and burnt out. I hate my boss, I feel like he has something against me. He's constantly making me anxious with how he breathes down everyone's neck. It makes me sick, and I know his views on lgbtq individuals..he singles me out. Is it worth calling in if he's going to cut my hours anyways. I'm not putting in a two weeks notice.

Sorry if this is the wrong sub to ask.

Title pretty much sums it up. The owner stated that she “couldn’t shut down”. The kitchen staff was forced to work in literal shit water and breathe it in. She had the dishwasher use a bucket and his bare hands to scoop it out of the back. One of the cooks ran out back to throw up outside from how bad the smell was. This happened last night btw. We sat people all night and fed them food that was cooked in sewage fumes. Our local health department is closed on weekends so idk what to do. I have to go back tonight and I doubt she’s fixed anything. It’s a small town and the cops aren’t much help considering everybody with any sort of money is automatically protected. I’m absolutely disgusted and don’t know where to go from here. Any input is appreciated.
