Antiwork

along with other benefits and such. They train you on the job too (paid). HR has hired about ten new people in the last six months and they're all still here as far as I know. Crazy that my job is one of the few in the area that can find people who want to work!/s

Seriously, the bullshit is so so strong.

Just got a promotion on the corporate side of a staffing agency and was lowballed on my initial offer for a very in-demand role as data analyst. They were taking advantage of my inexperience, however, I’ve already been working the role for the past month and have full access to the reports/systems that are available within their database I used my new found skills to scrape their database and pull together a list of hundreds of comparable roles, all with listed pay rates. Turns out the average pay for that role was 25% higher than my offer. Using their own data against them, I was able to secure my raise with confidence. What kind of data analyst would I be if I didn’t do this?

I’m so done with working from the office. I’m in there for 8.5 hours a day and get about 3 hours work done. Sometimes I’m only given enough work to last me half the day, but I have to stay there the whole day anyway and just sit there doing absolutely nothing. My commute is an hour each way, so that takes my work day to 10.5 hours total, for ~3 hours work I could do entirely from the comfort of my own home. I am sick of this. I’m so sick of losing so much of my time. I want a WFH job so I can be as independent as possible and claw back as much personal time as I can, but I don’t have any specialised skills. What types of WFH job would anyone recommend?

This is not financial advise nor can I claim everyone is in the same position to make the sacrifices that I did. It's a long read, but I hope it inspires someone. I worked minimum wage most of my work career. I slowly maxed out my credit cards with expenses that were unavoidable and made bad car decisions so I was drowning. Just COL and transportation alone cost over 80% of my income. I had accumulated a lot of debt and I was screwed. I had to make the very difficult decision of going back to school as an adult and take on even more debt. Between work and school I was out of the house 80+ hours a week for 9 months in an expedited program. I was a zombie and I was also supporting my then-girlfriend while she was going to school full time. I got a job…

Hey, I posted a few months ago about quitting a donut shop and how they tried to skip my last paycheck. Well, guess who called me the other day (while I was at my new and MUCH better job)? The manager from the donut shop. Trying to act all casual, but I know that a lot of the teenagers there quit (after they started texting me, asking how I quit and how they should go about it as well- I told them to walk tf out). This dumbass was really trying to get me to come back and work for her. What the fuck. She ALSO called my new job (like an hour before I got there) earlier that same day. I don’t know HOW she knows where I work, but this is actually fucking creepy.

I guess I can't prove that the policy is a result of the complaints, but it feels a little suspicious. I work in an office and he's never really cared about phones or listening to music in the office as long as we're getting our work done. Recently he saw some reviews of the office and he kept mentioning them being related to off-colored comments that he's made (i.e. you're either a Democrat or an American). Within a couple days of these complaints being brought up he was suddenly real anal about phone usage and that if he sees someone using their phone hell punch them out for 10 minutes, and he's letting one of the office workers have a supervisor role so she can be a phone police. It feels like a stupid way to flex power and it's really pushing me to work elsewhere.
