Antiwork

I'm going to use this place for advice or just for diary /planner posts since I think most people on here are reasonable and/or smarter individuals. I am in my early 20s. You are welcome to share thoughts. I work 15 hrs a week and I'm living with family, get paid 550 every two weeks. I don't want to go to college or really work that many hours. Is this acceptable? If my cost of living was basically paid for, how much money should I be making or saving? I know it's up to me based on what I want to spend/my lifestyle, but roughly, for an average life, if I wanted to afford just a couple things like subscriptions or whatever, what's the absolute minimum I could make yearly? I heard 300$ a month was pretty good which makes that 3,600 yrly. I don't expect to own a house,…

America’s about to possibly default on loans for the economy this week. We’re gonna hit our debt limit again. Resulting in negative impacts on the economy resulting with increases in interest rates & inflation. The stock market will fall. The U.S. is a hostile work environment to begin with. Furthermore, Investments will considered bad & unsafe. U.S. credit rating will be downgraded in the events of defaults. What needs to change?

Long story, but I need some advice. I work for an independent Hotel. Last night around 2am this lady came down, under the influence of something. Her breathing was slowed, glasses falling off her face, looking like she was in a daze. She came up to the front desk and put a prescription bottle on the desk, slowly trying to explain that someone came into her room and went through her luggage and stole her meds, because they were all missing. I told her I would make a report for my managers, and they can try to help her in the morning. She then said, that it was life threatening, and she would die. I instantly offered to call an ambulance to get her the help she needs. She says “oh no, no i cannot go to the hospital, thats what they want me to do.” I asked “who are…

TLDR: Uncles boss refuses to pay his crew for any driving time and has been doing this for over a year. My uncle works for an electrical company. I found out today his boss refuses to pay him and his crew for driving time. They have been doing this over a year, driving at least an hour and a half and sometimes three hours daily to job sights. He bought my uncle a gift for Xmas (around 1k) and said “You’ve made me so much money this year, I wanted to give back to you.” I did the math and at minimum he has taken at least $5000 worth in driving time over the course of the year from just my Uncle, not including the rest of the crew. I suggested notifying the DOL and my family said “well it’s best to leave it alone since it’s been going on…

There are many reasons I want to leave. But I'll tell you about the one I just found out today. Essentially, when people come in to euthanise their pet we have memorial items they can purchase. These are provided from another company, but we provide this option as a service so they don't have to track it down on their own if they want it. The other day the prices just went up on these items, and honestly they were already outrageously priced. But now everything is even more expensive (think $120 for a clay paw print). And that's not even the worst price. I just found out today that our hospital sets the prices. I'm disgusted. I'm pissed. I'm so done with this place. I'm going to start looking for new jobs on my next day off. Because that is disgusting practice.

Sooo I'm 21M just moved to Belgium, and I started working at this company they have a bunch of CNC maschines and a bunch of old hydraulic presses. I am supposed to start low and then become one of the main people for the CNC department (to make programs on the computer and make their technical drawings) When I went to sign the contract story, it went like this. “You seem to be a quick learner and you already know a lot so we will send you on 3 courses and then slowly, you will progress upwards. They did send me on those courses and gave me some time to practice by myself, but they don't even want to try it out and now they keep sending me to presses because there is not enough work for CNC and they keep trying to leave me at home because there is…
