Antiwork

So I've been in IT for like two decades almost now. I've interviewed a lot of people and been interviewed by a lot of people. I've been in business for a long time, ranging from healthcare to loan servicing to rental to banking and lots of stuff in between. I don't want to know what your “best” is – I want to know what your average is I've been thinking about starting a business and what that would look like. What am I looking for from my employees? Average. Why? Because I can never expect you to give me your best long term. I want to know who has the best average over time. I don't know how to conclude that from interviews, but what I do know FOR SURE is that the current practice only highlights your best, not your average over time. And that's a fallacy of business,…

I've had multiple issues with this manager in the past. Mostly this takes the form of him constantly hassling me and bothering me while I'm in the middle of work. Last night it took this form: He asked me to take a thing of tea up while I was in the middle of rolling burritos. I was a little pissed already and doing that added to it.

There's plenty of horror stories I can tell in the long year I've worked here, but yesterday felt like the last straw, if I didn't need the money I would've quit. I get into work and as soon as I walk into my shipping station, all the supplies are moved around and or missing, boxes are mislabeled and not organized properly, and most orders are very sloppily boxed and labeled in the outgoing bag. I start to fix these issues, and get a text saying that I've been too slow at shipping and…

Healthcare is known for having little to no unions, terrible working conditions, and at best, average pay for knowledge and practice. I do not want to be know that it is me spreading union information as I dont want to lose my job. How can I start a wave of information where I won't be at the center of it all?
