Antiwork

Yesterday, I finally sent my notice. I've been working here as a developer for 1.5 years and I was always criticized, I was told that “I don't bring enough value to the team”, I was told that “I did not deserve a raise” (even though I normally work in one of the best paid areas in my country, here I was still paid like a retail worker and whenever I tried to object I was told that “I still had a lot to learn to get a raise”), I was forced to work with outdated technologies that I hated, my company did not provide me with any sort of learning materials and no one took their time to help me learn new things and develop professionally because I guess, to some extent, they didn't want me to learn new things so that they couldn't pay me more. Yesterday I had…

So essentially the title. I have a very abrupt manager that over sees about 24 employees. She’s extremely thankless, straight up a bitch when she talks to you, and never has time. The only time you hear from her is when she is inconvenienced and trust me she lets you know. She recently just pushed a bunch of work down to us entry level employees but with no reward. How do you respond professionally? What’s the best way to handle a bitch boss?

Mechanics are paid by the job and a lot of them in my shop had a guarantee of 30 or 40 hours. My foreman lost the sheet with everyone's pay rate and what they plan on doing with them. They're basically taking it all away, except for one guy that goes to church with the boss. The foreman lied to me, he said the boot licker was losing his too. Is there anything I can do with this information besides make everyone angrier? The bootlicker also has a guarantee of 50 hours instead of 40. I liked the shop foreman and thought he was an honest guy too. I knew everyone above him was trash, but this kinda hurt. I would quit but, I have a personal car with the engine out right now. It also says they were going to give the guarantee 90 days to expire, but they've…

I don't understand why people always say 'you'd be bored if you were unemployed, you'd be doing the same thing every day'. As if I'm not bored out of my mind now? as if I'm not doing the same thing every day now?

I work at a union grocery store with great benefits. Unfortunately the pay is crap and the job is both physically and mentally exhausting. I found another job that would be absolutely perfect for me. I could make good money working 3 12 hour shifts a week and I could bring my laptop and work on learning programming or something to get a better job down the road. But, I don’t want to be left high and dry if I ever hurt myself. Fuck. Why does this stupid system have to be this way?

I NEED money coming in. I'm so close to being homeless it's really worrying. I got a job with shit hours and shit pay to get me through. During training I was asked to do something unsafe and instead of saying no, I complied because I need the money. Well, I fell and hit my back off of a pipe. My fault, I should have said no. I asked three times to fill out an incident report but the response was always “we'll do that later”, it was never done. I'd rather be homeless than put my back out and be completely fucked. I'm supposed to go in today but I'm just not.
