Antiwork

A few years back my car broke but I was still driving it. The wheel bearing was BAD and needed replaced ASAP but I drove it to the autoparts store to get a new bearing and then I drove it into work the next day. My workplace has all kinds of tools and a shop building with an air compressor, where I could park my car inside. I explained to my boss that my car was broken and he suggested I call out a mobile mechanic. I gave a few places a call and each quote I got was around $400 dollars. I finally told my boss I was going to clock out and try to fix it myself by following a YouTube video I found online. I clocked out and set to working on my car. Like 3 hours in he said why don't you just hire a mechanic…

Friday night, upper management released a major workflow change that is very confusing and new. They did this by email with no chance to train off shift employees. One person pushed this work along to the wrong places rather than doing the work, who ironically has been here foreve; at one point, he worked for the team from where the work was coming. My company is horrible, even at management's admission, for communication of any type especially training. There is a notorious history of redundant coaches, especially for things that they did not train or explain well. If this guy didn't understand something from a team he used to work, management screwed up. I worked with the other team this weekend to help the misled employee and correct the workflow to the correct places, probably at the expense of my numbers. Now my dread builds, as I return to work…

So we just got a new temp manager after the first one got fired and the assistant quit. He has been hounding to run this location like his other location, and cut everyone's hours to nothing, and of course absolutely no overtime. For over a year I have never taken a break, instead just snacking throughout the day, keeping busy qith work. I also do try and avoid overtime by going home early. It is a small perk for me eating at my desk while working. He writes the schedule, scheduling me an hour and a half of overtime, but no breaks on the schedule. I inform him that I will just leave early certain days because of how I don't take breaks. This is the lovely email response. I am in the great stat of florida btw. “Team, It has come to my attention that we are often not…

I’ve been lurking/ocassionally commenting in this sub for a while now. I have seen many of you who are so quick to jump on the hate and blame wagon as soon as someone mentions they make over 100k a year. In a way I get it, I came from nothing at all and to know someone is making 100k and you are struggling to survive with 40k sucks, I get it. But there is one big fact some of you fail to understand in this whole “antiwork” fight. Even if I make 200k a year, we are still in the same class, the working class. You’re either born an elite or you’re f***ed is the bottom line. How about you all point those negative feelings towards the actual problem? Stop hating on your brothers and sisters and start eating the actually rich who built your cage.
