Antiwork

Hey I hope this doesn't violate rule 7, but here we go. I'm a low level manager at a fortune 500 company. I'm relatively new to the position and the program, about a year now. I lead a small team of about 15 employees and they are all great. Most are new to the industry and about a third are new to the work force in general. Like my most senior person has been in the role for 3 years, turnover was a big problem when I first arrived. Like I said the team is awesome, eager to learn, and generally communicates very well. My issue is that when these people take PTO they are answering fucking emails, attending virtual meetings, and just in general working! Blows my mind that I have to threaten to withhold my signature on their “time card” until they clock the time they worked on…

Our floor super announced mandatory 12 hr shifts twice a week. Problem is when no one else did the OT, I was doing only my straight 40. Birds of a feather you know. Well I HEARD about it. So the last 2 weeks I did my due like a good little minion yet everyone else has been going about their normal 40 and never heard the word BOO from the supervisor. I feel like knowing I feel threatened he can push my buttons and get his way. Where as everyone else on my shift has a FAR more dismissive attitude towards him and couldn't care less about getting in trouble. Should I adopt a more fk it attitude and take my chances. I don't want to be the only guy pulling ALL the extra weight but I'm not throwing Jon or Janet under the bus for not doing theirs

So I quit tonight. Had a propane leak I don’t know about and was heading towards people welding. Someone stopped me thankfully and when I called my boss and told him I don’t wanna drive this machine anymore until I’m properly trained for a week he threatened to fire me. So in 2 weeks I almost got set on fire from a machine catching on fire and blown up.

My coworker (who I knew held some far right, potentially fascist politics) gave a full-on Pizzagate rant today in the backroom to me and my other coworker. I’ll call the Pizzagate coworker P and the other coworker N. Coworker P had already made me feel uncomfortable on multiple occasions, talking up anti-social justice and borderline eugenicist arguments to me and Coworker N as though they were normal, acceptable positions to hold. I hate the work environment as a result of him. Every time he opens his mouth I feel like he’s going to call me a slur (which, to be clear, he has done on multiple occasions). My boss is complacent with this. I don’t know if he doesn’t know the full scope of what’s happening or he doesn’t care, but either way, Coworker P has his trust, so trying to explain my concerns would go unheard. It doesn’t hurt…

Last week I posted about a terrible interview at a restaurant that I had… In this interview, my interviewer was 10 minutes late, left after 5 minutes, and then ignored me and avoided me while I was sitting at the table we were at while walking around the restaurant looking at his phone until I left … anyway they just sent me another email right now asking to schedule an interview with me because they literally forgot that they had “interviewed” me (if you can even call it that) already even though it’s been one week? Lol. Just wow I don’t know how to even feel about this

Here's the backstory! I work in a group home company that owns 12+ group homes, there has always been a large rift between in-home and management. I've dealt with it and worked my ass off to get a “specialist” roll in house which entitled me to: 30 hours guaranteed, and benefits. Over the last nine months I've really put myself out there to guarantee first priority scheduling under my former house lead. I had 39 hours a week, all at my single preferred house, and generally all evening shifts with some variation when I was critically needed at another shift slot. Now recently my house lead was let go and our next-step-up manager has taken over. She has no idea how the house is actually run day to day but it's her way or the highway. With this change I'm looking at a schedule 3 months out of just insanity.…
