Antiwork

I like to snoop this sub from time to time and remind myself that I’m out of my “shitty jobs” era, that is until I started with my current company. I work in tech. The Industry is competitive as hell and companies go above and beyond for employees. I recently switched positions to a new company where they pride themselves for all the mental health support they provide employees. While this might not seem like your average horror story, it completely changed the way I view this company and I am ready to leave my employer. I discussed with my manager that I have been taking sick days due to PTSD that is related to Sexual assault. Things have been difficult and my performance is showing that. I asked what the options were for potentially taking a week off to work on myself and recharge. My manager showed no empathy…

I've bounced around my workplace for the last 2 and 1/2 years but it's been a complete fucking shit show. I haven't had a permanent manager since my third week, so have had 7 managers since I've been there. There's constantly been various reasons why permanent employees can't be hired, restructure, team reshuffle, new GMs, budget constraints, so there's been SO many contractors and fixed termers. Endless churn of staff all earning megabucks. I'm the longest serving employee in the team by over a year. Anyway – new manager has been a completely and utter c-u-next-tuesday and when I took a very rare sick day a while ago, she absolutely came for my neck and accused me of having a poor work ethic, not being a team player. Then later when trying to somewhat reconcile said they'd worked so hard they'd had to take steroids to get through the work…

Hi all, just wondered if anyones able to help talk some sense to me I’m in the UK, worked for a service for over the last three years. Went to private agency work for this service (the equivalent of lo I’m/bank work) for better pay about a year ago. However around 6 weeks ago the government cut the contracts for this agency. I’m now in a limbo of a new agency wanting to recontract me but I am burned out of this job. I honestly don’t want to go back, after 3 and a half years I’m tired of it, and no longer wish to be there. The issue is I’ve spent two months applying to other places, with no luck. This job pays well at £510 a week, and with the current living costs crisis rising I feel trapped and that I’d be stupid not to go back working…

I remember working in a well thought of hotel/bar, in Ireland. No names but Michael Collins may have stayed there the night before he died… ​ City centre bar with young(ish) clientele so the music was given set volumes throughout the day into Sat evening. One older (talking 40ish) customer calls one of the bar staff over and starts yelling at her, then me, that the music is “Too damn loud”. I check the volume presets on the sound system and all is fine. He they accuses me of turning it up and I say I did not and that there are preset levels that we are not allowed interfere with. He gets irate and lobs his pint of beer over the counter, just missing colleagues head. I told him to get the hell out and come around the bar and (without touching him, towered over him) escort him to…
