Antiwork

You guys are fighting for a 'decent' wage that would allow you to get to the end of the month without overtime etc., while you should ask for way MORE. You're a person, you deserve to have those extra cash to do what you want in your free time, to be happy, to remove the stress in the weekend. You're not a machine made to eat, sleep, work, repeat. What kind of life is that? You're all worth more than you think, and for sure more than a shitty min wage

Just gave the paper notice to her yesterday. Conversation went like this with my boss. “Wait you're leaving?” Yup. “But we need your position. The sales girls can't cross work between their jobs and yours even if you trained them. Did you ever finish that new guide?” Yes you do need my position, and no I didn't. I wasn't being paid to make it, and given the amount of work I was given after Covid with no pay increase after multiple discussions I haver had time to do it. “How much is the next place paying you? We can match it.” Really? If I tell you and you could match it why did you only pay me my current rate, and me coming to you about the lack of pay for the work I do?

There was a post from yesterday about “Do you have a bullshit job” and it was an editorial comic saying if you can't describe your job in 3 words, you have a bullshit job. In the comic, there were 3 people describing their complicated jobs in IT and then the last one saying “I catch fish.” I'm sorry, but this just seems like a shitty excuse an uneducated person would tell themselves to compensate for their insecurities in what they do for a living. If you catch fish for a living, and you love it – great for you! We should all be happy for those doing something that they enjoy doing and being able to survive while doing it. But just because there are people out there who solve complex technology problems that are far out of your scope of comprehension does not mean what they do is “bullshit,”…

Summary: my job docks 15 minutes of pay even if we’re one minute late clocking in. UPDATE: I contacted our local labor law office and they’re going to take my case and make it a class action lawsuit . It took them ONE day to make that decision so I feel like this is pretty straightforward. Dumb fucks have all of our time stamps electronically saved so we can access it anytime we want as far back as a year. I sent the screenshots to the lawyer and he called me back pretty immediately. This is the funniest thing in the world to me right now, I can’t wait to rock their shit.

I have no idea what it means because this subreddit gives mixed signals

Only problem, my manager is not approving it for me because I use public transport and I need to be at the office 2 days and the next week 3 days. They worried I'm going to get robbed
