Antiwork

Today I accepted a job offer with what I think will be fair compensation … but getting there was so stressful. With the fluctuation on gas groceries and housing prices recently, I felt lost on how much my skill and time should be worth. I had to do research in what inflation might look like this year for the basic things, talk to someone in my field to ask for their professional opinion and then kind of barter with my future employer. Fuck by the time we arrived to the agreement I was sweating cortisol. Shouldn’t be this stressful to go to work do good and be able to have a good life. I am not even excited for the new job at the moment just relived to not have think of this for a while

This is really unbelievable (or is it?) don’t know if maybe they saw me on indeed and counter acted. (Would be unlikely because the owner can’t even remember my name. ) I knew I wanted a different job but damn. This just confirms I have wasted five years of my life climbing an invisible ladder that once I reached the top of I was worse off than I began.

I feel like I work harder than most of my coworkers and I am getting burnt out. I finally got the balls to ask my boss for a raise and was told “if I give you a raise I’d have to give everyone a raise.” Do bosses not realize that we notice who does the majority of the work everyday? Since I’m gonna make the same as the people around me sitting on their phones, ignoring the phone when it rings, and doing the bare minimum regardless, I see no point in putting in the extra effort. Might I also add that I am the only one with a degree in this field, and I am currently training a new supervisor for a position that I apparently wasn’t qualified for. ETA: I was quite proud of the way I went about it and really thought it was gonna go in…

My boss has been asking my colleagues to forward her any screenshots on text/email they could find in their interaction with me. It got to the stage where one of my colleagues was taking photos of me (flashing light, camera sound) in front of our guests. She explained she has to follow the instruction from the boss. What should I do? I feel that my work performance recently has been declining due to all the activities my boss has been doing around me. I reported my boss to HR once; after that it has been like this everyday even on the weekend

So i work as a cashier/bagger at a grocery store And I will say that at work, i'm a pretty relaxed. But when i do show negative feelings like anger, i show them, like having me work till 11 pm (which is a no go if you take keppra, it makes you tired when you take it), but other than that i'm just relaxed, i'm not happy, not stressed, just neutral tbh But lately it seems most of my work's employees don't care The managers are all over the place, setting people to work 6 days in a row, hardly any baggers in busy times, putting employees health lastly, and want us to scan every produce instead of typing the code for some reason The actual baggers, are on their phones, don't know how to bag, not bouncing, etc etc The cleaners take their sweet time getting to mess and…

I posted on here a while ago about how great my new company is. Well, the honeymoon phase is over. I started just under 4 months ago. Within those 4 months, I had a medical emergency (while on a business trip), several medical procedures, COVID, and my grandmother passed away. I would say I have had about an entire month of real focus. At first they were very understanding. We have unlimited PTO so they didn’t really worry too much about the time. That was until they decided to put the new person, with NO real training, working at 50% capacity, in charge of creating departmental workflows. I did the best I could. I consulted with as many people as I could. It doesn’t help that 70% of the staff has been there less than 6 months. Basically, the company grew too fast and they were not prepared. We produce…

I work for a large network of urology clinics. There’s all together 8 doctors and 8 nurse practitioners who also run clinics, so in total 16 different providers who are spread out between 13 different locations. I recently went to go check my offer letter (per advice from this sub) and the link expired. In hindsight I should have downloaded it but I don’t know back than what a shit show this job would be. I went to our employee portal to look for the Human Resources Department, and the only one available under that tab was my direct manager. Apparently she handles the HR duties. I don’t want to ask HER for a copy of my offer letter and job description, she’s literally the reason I need HR. There’s another manager, but they’re BFFs and they gossip their heads off to each other about EVERYTHING. Who do I go…
