Antiwork

Ugh. I hate interviewing. I had a phone interview with a local company. It’s for a low-level admin job. The woman I spoke to was nice, but literally blasted how horrible the other people are in the office. Not just a comment here or there….she destroyed them. It sounds like a shit environment. I withdrew my application and they asked why. So I told them. It’s seems like there is an internal problem and it reeks of unprofessional to rip apart employees to possible future employees. I have had enough of these jobs. Do employers thinks everyone is stupid and we can’t distinguish an abusive office environment?

Just want to vent out that this logic is pure BS. Just got a verbal warning that I had three instances of being late. And when I checked the dates all of them, they were tagged because I punched in exactly on my time of shift. IMO more than a minute is late but within the minute and late by seconds is a joke. I will not be acknowledging any warnings they give me. Is this policy even logical or even legal? The company policy just says that there is no grace period but no specifications of you are late by seconds.

So I'm an assistant general manager for a large fast food chain. I have roughly 40 employees that work under me, and I work 10 hours a day 5 days a week and do not get paid for over time due to being a salary employee. So I've been getting in multiple arguments from a shift lead that is below me due to being just extremely disrespectful due to my age. They cause so much drama with me every day for no reason, and it's extremely stressful due to the fact that I hate drama and just try to have a peaceful day and come home. So today I did a ton of things alone that normally other people do as well as doing all the dishes, taking orders for drive threw and counter plus making food sometimes alone with kinda large orders. I kept the dishes caught up all…

LONG READ: So I saw the tiktok of the Amazon driver basically going off about how his job is excruciating to deal with and how it sucks. I’m here to shed more perspective. I worked as an Amazon delivery driver for 3 months and I can say after working nights in a ihop, nights in a ups and Amazon warehouse, working every single holiday besides Christmas at a country club, 5am start time shifts at FedEx airport facility, Amazon delivery was the worst job I’ve ever had. I’d average 250 stops per day with like 300 packages. Equates to about 10 hours. BUT I’d get a different route every day, sometimes I’d travel 15 miles then start delivering. Wherever you deliver is where you eat lunch. Sometimes I’d drop off in rural areas with little options for restaurants so I’d end up getting gas station food. If you had to…

COVID began, my life changed. Laid off from a job I had for 7 years. Went thru an apprenticeship there. Ever since then I’ve had no problem getting a job, it’s keeping one. Had about 15 jobs since COVID started, holy shit. Fired from about 10 of them….. walked out of the rest. They all say that they thought I would be more. What does that mean? Wtf

I work in a catering company that has a contract with a mine camp, I'm here for two weeks and I'm off for two weeks. I work 12 hour days and I'm allowed one hour of a break, when I started they said I can split my break anyway I want just as long as I use the whole hour. Yesterday the chef confronted me about me being on my phone (it was an emergency) I accepted what I did was wrong but explained it was an emergency, he didn't care then he told me I'm not allowed to use the rest of my break, I told him I had 20 minutes left and that our 1 hour break is mandatory. He told me that I used my whole break but we have our break times signed in and out by us on a break sheet. He walked me to…

During open enrollment I signed up for a flex plan. It takes an amount I agreed to out of my pay each month tax free and puts it into an account that I use for health care expenses. Thing is, my work didn’t set up any of the employee flex plans correctly, so the system didn’t take money out the first month from the paycheck, but money was deposited in the flex accounts. They are now saying I have to pay that back in my next check, double in February. I said no, reduce the total by one month. I can technically afford it in my next paycheck, but that’s ridiculous that I have to deal with this. Since the contract says that the company will take a set amount each month, do they have any right to shift the month? I did say I would reduce the whole value…
