Antiwork

If you thought Covid 19 shut NYC down, just wait until the Realty Advisory Board on Labor doesn’t offer the Engineers Union a fair contract forcing Union workers to go on strike. For those of you who don’t know what the IUOE provides the city allow me to explain. IUOE Local 94 represents more than 5,000 men and women responsible for the operation, maintenance, renovation and repair of the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning and all other mechanical systems in public, private, residential and commercial buildings throughout NYC. Most of these buildings are 24/7 365 operations. These men and women sacrifice holidays, birthdays, weekends and time with friends and family to serve the city. •September 11th, 2001 – September 11th 2001 -The engineers are the 1st line of defense in a building fire before the FDNY shows up. • Covid 19 – The engineers despite the majority of the world…

Im finally quitting my job with my narcissistic, shitty, rude ass boss that literally treats everyone around him like shit. For reference the only reason I didn’t quiet earlier is because I was waiting to get hired at another job first before quitting this one. My boss is an all time ass. I wrote him my two week notice letter and Monday morning came and he screamed at me in front of patients. They were shook. So basically his wife and him are saying I’m in charge of finding someone else to take my place so I can have time to train them before I leave in a week. I’m almost telling every single candidate to run for the hills and not look back. He has someone coming in today and she doesn’t want to hire her because she’s a mom. (Says she’ll call out too much for her kids)…

Every time an article breaks about Powell raising the interest rate, I inevitably hear something about it from my parents…something along the lines of “this is for the greater good” or “it won't last very long” as if they suddenly became economists overnight. Now, my parents are admittedly fairly liberal, but that doesn't mean they don't succumb to neoliberal “logic” (logical fallacies morelike). When I say that it doesn't have to be this way and that Powell is looking out for his corporate buddies, I get a lecture about how I'm not working hard enough and that I need to get over it. You know, bootstrap shit. Sometimes it feels like I can't be around my parents. I know not everyone here has the greatest relationship to theirs, but for those that do, on top of the economic fallout, do you notice this trend?? Like I feel like I cannot…

So for context, I am working for a big company as an Account payables clerk. We have flexible hours so I can start anywhere between 7 am and 10 am as long as I do my hours. I do 37.5 h a week and I am not paid for overtime unless it has been approved beforehand. Because of this I do exactly my 7.5 a day not a minute more not a minute less. If I take a longer lunch I stay later and if I need to do overtime a day I finish earlier the next day. My boss is new to her role and she is allegedly only repeating what the director said. The other day she asked me to come into her office because they feel like I am too “micro managing”. She said that if I am not willing to be flexible on my hours then…
