Antiwork

I have worked at this garbage restaurant for about a month 1/2 now. I was barely trained, making $10/hr with no tips because we don't accept card tips due to “tax reasons”, we take cash tips but barely anybody tips us. We are so understaffed that I can't get a day off to have my leg checked out by a doctor because they schedule me outside my initial availability. I'm 27 and the fact I only make enough to pay my half of the rent and hardly anything more as a full time worker depressed me to no end. I am going to put in my two weeks today, but I don't even want to do that. There are only two people on shift at a time and it is so stressful as we get really busy. The motto of the company is “powered by love” more like powered by…

Hi guys, After months of trying, this week I got two job offers. The first one is paying 30% more than the second one, but I like the second place more, for so many reasons What's the best technique to let the second place increase their offer? Should I send them the first one? I live in Dubai if that would make any difference, Thanks

Hello! I work at a daycare and recently have been living in a shelter with my 9 month old son after leaving a bad situation. I told my employer that i can work all 5 days now (the shelter has a childcare center) and i gave her my new availability. I was only working 2 days before (my son was coming to work with me and they only had room for him for 2 days) and I thought she would be happy about my new availability. Instead she started prying about how this happened so quickly, is it reliable, etc. I understand that she doesn’t want to be screwed over if things don’t work out but i’m scared to be open about my living situation. Could anything bad happen if i told her where i was living? How open should i be? Do i need to tell her what daycare…

This is the second time in less then two months I haven’t received my paycheck on time. I am debating on weather to put right quit or just not come in tomorrow y of this z. Thoughts?

Got my masters and a certificate in a coding language new to our team. Have since automated many core business functions and parts of our workflow. I also began cleaning up and rewriting parts of our legacy code base and was made the lead engineer (not in title only in responsibility) of my group's product. Was told they'd be moving me around to other teams to implement the same types of improvements. they hired a junior who I trained up on our legacy and my automated workflow to ” free up my time”. That was a year ago with no new work assigned to me yet and due to my process improvements and the junior my work has slowed to like 12-18hrs a week max. I'm 34 and talented and creative and a good worker, I don't want to be coasting. I want to be working and earning more and…

Long time lurker, first time posting here. So about two years ago I was given a temporary promotion, dressed up as a development opportunity (I know, right) and like a sucker I went for it. It was decent pay and a decent job, bit stressful at times but overall ok. So last week the temporary promotion came to an end, which is fine, I had been expecting it after all. Normally in our organisation (civil service) you'd expect to be slotted back into your previous role, or another available role at the same grade in the organisation. I had a conversation with a senior manager yesterday about my situation. I learnt that as the role I was doing was too important to be left vacant, they would expect me to still perform the same duties, but on less pay. It was explained to me that the temporary promotion couldn't be…

It's so fucking boring, soul-crushing, monotonous. I sincerely don't understand how the suicide rate isn't 20 times higher than it currently is. How do people put up with 40 hours a week for 40 years? At a certain point life is just not worth living anymore. How is slaving half of my waking time making money for someone else supposed to make me happy again?
