Antiwork

I’ve been working for the same company for just over 15 years. Corporate/executive salary position with decent pay, but it’s draining. I have been completely miserable. And also learned that (without giving away identifying details) they’re not the company & people I thought they were and have no emotional connection there anymore. Some recent changes have made it so I could get by without this job. And any future reentry into the work force would be in a drastically different capacity / field. I have to be in the office in an hour and I’m panicking. Not because of anything in particular, I just don’t want to be f*cking be there – with every fiber of my being. Assuming I have no contract and am in an at will US state, what are the real repercussions if I just say, I’m not coming anymore? No notice, just I’m done. Can…

Ok so I install farm fencing. I have worked there since 2006. I use to run the company, two workers and myself an boss was on job sight, until my boss got cancer an passed away. His brother took over the company an now it's just me an him an I'm now just a laborer again even though I know more about fencing than he does. He has been running the company for 6yrs now. A year after he took over he tried to hire another helper an hired somebody who knew nothing an started them off making what I was making. This went through me an I let him know but he didn't care. I get paid cash daily as self employed. I just recently got a raise of $25 a day. I use to get bonuses if we got the job done quicker than expected but that quit.…

I'm doing the same thing that other guy is doing. Basically I was treated poorly by restaurants because I was desperate for money and didn't have space to advocate for myself. Now I have security. And so now I get jobs (and a little money) and then ghost them or ask for more out of them at the last second that they're desperate.( In certain situations I've gotten cash.) Big chain restaurants. Why shouldn't I encourage my friends to do it too. (1. I'm a religious person and believe in justice. 2. I'm not a professor of Karl Marx or whatever btw. I'm not super genius academic so dumb it down please. )

Mine does, but I just don’t do it. No one has said anything either so I guess it’s not that big a deal. I don’t understand this. I’m don’t need to have my camera on in a meeting, it’s stupid. Is it a boomer thing? Also zoom links should be mandatory for all meetings. I don’t need to be cozied up next to my co-workers at the height of flu season.

For context, I work at a popular US chain restaurant that some people use for catering orders. We always get busy around the holidays, so from open to close we are slammed with $500+ orders going out just for the catering food. This doesn’t include regular orders both in house and to-go. This week, the upper levels called our store to reprimand us for tell customers they can’t pick up their food before we open (11am). They said all customers are allowed to pick up their food as early as 10am, an hour before we open up the restaurant. Never mind the concept that staff only shows up at 9am, where they have to complete all of their opening work before being able to make any orders. The extra kicker is that we also must do deliveries that early, and we don’t have delivery drivers, they just make someone on…

So my one supervisor was talking shit about me as I was doing my presentation. I have social anxiety so I was bit triggered since I was public speaking I had to overcome my nerves. Anyway my supervisor was the one was doing the presenting so it was on their screens, still working from home, so they were still sharing their screen as I was presenting. Anyway I didn’t realize they were typing about me until they sent their message to another supervisor, basically saying my presentation was awful n brutal and it was killing them. I didn’t see it until they sent it with the whole lmao so other people could see it being typed out live, sent n what not. So I see my name and comments about my presentation skills which weren’t nice. So I saw hey you might not what to share you screen, we can…
