Antiwork

TW: suicide and self harm Last week I was overdue with tasks, and couldn't catch up. My boss called me out on it, and said if this was a regular thing corrective action would have to be taken. I was staying late, and skipping breaks, but it still didn't feel like enough. Over the weekend I had a fight with my boyfriend about something stupid, and it was the straw that broke the camels back. I completely broke down. I relapsed into self harming after being clean for 3 years. I couldn't get thoughts out of my head telling me to kill myself. It hasn't really gotten better after a few days. I want to hurt myself, and I keep thinking of different ways I could kill myself. I want to reach out for help, but I work for the biggest mental health provider in my city. If I go…

So our company (corporate and insurance) now is requiring us to have rear and forward facing cameras in our work vehicles now. We were told that “these cameras aren't meant to snoop or track you or to micromanage. We aren't watching unless you're involved in an accident.” Which I called BS on right away. We already have management disputing job hours because they use the cameras tracking device. It wasn't a week before I was threatened with disciplinary action via text from my supervisor. I asked what the infraction was. He said I was texting and driving and that immediate disciplinary actions would take place. I wasn't texting. I asked for the camera footage along with the dates and times that I was doing this. I received no further response. Now today we are forced to sign a compliance letter saying we will not eat or drink anything, we consent…

It seems when the high earners at a company are limited in some way, they get more upset than the low earners. Why do you think this is?

Like so many of you here- I am desperate. I feel like I can't handle another minute. I know others feel the same and I know certain people will think I'm a huge baby, but I truly cannot handle working full time. My shifts are nine hours. It's a fairly new job, but already I can feel the same feelings creeping up. The existential dread. Thr anxiety. The grief of lost time. I am in my early thirties and I've been feeling so dark and depressed thinking scary things. Is this all there is to life? Maybe have a kid or two? I find myself hoping I get sick (not sure why, they just make you work from home) Has anyone here had any success finding a job they are happy at, particularly remote or hybrid? I know I need to try to do something but I feel like giving…

I work as a to-go server. I know some people disagree with the practice of tipping on takeout orders, which I don’t even agree should be necessary myself, but I only make $5 an hour so I basically completely rely on tips to be able to try and survive. Anyway, we typically have three to-go servers on per night as I work at a very busy chain restaurant. My other two coworkers did not show up on Sunday night, which is our busiest night for takeout. I was working HARD and customers noticed and i ended up making about $165 in tips. I usually make only about $50-60 per night. So I was thrilled! About half of this was in cash. My manager made me give him my cash tips because he helped. Which yes, he did help. But he makes so much more money than I do. My hourly…

I got hired for a job at a factory 3 weeks ago making 17/hr. It was hard work but I was excited to actually make some money and not have to worry about only being scheduled part time. They rushed to get me in on my last day of 3 days of orientation so I could start right away. I worked a week without getting reprimanded once, was laid off for a week, came back for one day, and find out after work today I'm being let go for poor attendance somehow even though I was at my job on time every shift and everyone seemed to like me, yet I was let go without notice

I literally meet all my deliverables and turn in my work. But there’s no possible way I can be working 7-8 hour straight without doing anything else. The only thing I’m worried about is that Time Doctor tracks what is running I believe and what I click. Which auto click thing should I use? And what can I do to ensure whatever is used to auto click doesn’t get picked up either and they don’t find out? Thank you I’m stressed out about this and have been applying to new jobs already.
