Antiwork

I currently work retail but one of my regulars works at home depot and told me I should apply because they’re offering more hours/pay. TL;DR I have never gone through a more unprofessional onboarding process to the point where I’m no longer interested in working for this company in the slightest. If you want more details keep reading: After my first interview I was told I would be contacted within 1-2 business days but instead they took over 2 weeks to schedule the 2nd interview. Then the 2nd interviewer didn’t show up to the webx call and when he eventually reached out to reschedule he missed the rescheduled one too, then said he was having tech issues and just offered me the job over the phone. After I did some online training I got an email telling me to come to the store for a 5hr training shift. When I…

It's about the amount of work we do as a society and as working-class people compared to the return that we receive back from it, both directly and through infrastructure and social programs. We can talk about how certain jobs deserve higher compensation for the amount of work they do or how much value they contribute to society as a whole – but that's an argument that could be made and is made endlessly. The true focus of antiwork should be to eliminate as much compulsory work as is reasonably possible; this would mean that all the products, services, and infrastructure that are required for modern life should be the primary focus of our labour outputs. But even that would not be enough given our current consumption and production habits; we need to build things to last longer, standardize hardware and software as much as possible, utilize automation to the…

From construction to warehouse work the toxic dust is everywhere. Anybody with understanding knows its inn the air and knows it doesnt leave the body. I read 9/11 victims, almost 10,000 who breath inn dust got cancer. The coworkers and bosses tell me im being paranoid and it isnt bad. I really cant be the only one out there with a smart brain?. Its unbelievable. Of course we will breath in toxic dust at times but im not trying to get extra doses daily at work. Thats all.

There was a post on here saying “I don’t hire conservatives” and surprisingly many people agreed with it. The problem is conservatives who read that post will think “l won’t hire liberals then”. There are so many conservatives/liberals that work at top companies in the world. Imagine not getting your dream job because the person interviewing you saw you posted a picture of you doing something they deemed too liberal or too conservative. Many of us don’t already have comfortable jobs like some of you. Many of us don’t want to be discriminated against when it comes to earning our livelihood. I follow AOC and Ilhan on insta. I don’t want to get job opportunities taken away for something as trivial as that. We’re already divided. Stop adding fuel to the fire. I know I’m going to get responses saying the post I’m referring to was talking about extremists but…

I've been working at taco bell for the past couple weeks and recently called out because I was sick. I got a doctor's note to excuse me, and was instructed to stay home until my covid test results came back. I was told by my manager that I would receive a documentation if I didn't show up. 3 documentations is automatic termination. I had already given them the note and was supposed to be out for 3 days. Today is day 3 and I was being told I would be fired for not showing up, but I said I would listen to my doctor and stay out. Then, over text I was told I “no longer work there” and “good luck at your next job” along with many previous, borderline harassing texts and calls. I received many calls in a row at times and after the first time I actually…

Currently interviewing for a role with a new company, which is charges less, makes less, and pays less. (They also work fewer hours and are far less toxic). I have been asked to indicate my salary expectations. I have responded asking what the salary range is. They have come back saying “it would be useful to know what your minimum expectations are, as our salary range is unlikely to align with your current salary at your current company. This would help us to manage expectations on both sides. “ Does anyone have a good strategy for playing this game of cat and mouse? Thanks in advance

sorry if this is the wrong subreddit for this!! but it seems like most people here know their stuff. so im 17, first job ever, ive been bussing (hired on the spot- the old busser quit) for at this family owned restaurant in FL. ive worked maybe 10 hours there already. pay is under the table cash. the first problem is that they havent paid me yet and are entrusting me to write down my hours on a piece of paper. i don't know if its an issue or not but it just seems weird to me. problem two is they havent shared any tips with me, i dont really mind but the owner told me i should work there because i'll get good tips. are they supposed to split them with me or are they not because i'm a new hire? problem three is they kept interrupting my break…
