Antiwork

This was back a few years ago, but I worked as a server/bartender at a small Greek restaurant. Very small, casual place. The owner, Angelo, however, was a nightmare. You never knew if you'd get him in a nice mood, or a foul mood when you walked in. I was initially hired as a bartender, but because I was/am very young, and look even younger, the men who would come in were 30s-40s, and while they were happy with me, Angelo wanted to have someone more…enticing behind the bar, so he hired a 30-something lady Lea (very obviously had a lot of plastic surgery done, but she was the nicest, and we got along well), and gradually I was reduced to just serving and was thus 'forbidden' behind the bar. After that, Angelo hired another girl even younger than me, named Chelsea to work as a server as well. Since…

Well, I never thought I would post anything on Reddit, let alone 'antiwork' as I am the opposite of this! But here goes….. I've been working at a restaurant in France for over 6 years, extremely busy summers (500 covers a day) and during the winter I just help out when needed. The restaurant is fully booked almost everyday in the colder months, around 60 people due to the seating arrangement indoors (too cold outside) and it is set in a large, old family home which the owner of the home, is also the Boss of the restaurant.

I work lunch and dinner services. Roughly about 13hrs a day. 6 days a…

Years ago, before the whole pandemic, I looked for a job with my brother. we found a place to work that was looking for people with no experience.

How much was the company willing to pay? Less than half the minimum wage, and we are not talking about a “small” company or just starting out, it was a company with branches in many countries, and in its best economic moment , when we got numbers it gave us negative numbers at the end of the month, literally it was not enough to reach half a month. We were able to message the interviewer and tell them that we appreciate…

I'm 18 and my brother is 21. He is an EMT a literal first responder and we both wanna pursue nursing but this mf gets paid 15 an hour to literally save lives… I work at a supplement store and sometimes I make more on commissions. So sad

Isn’t that why you’re having me do this two weeks in advance in the first place? So YOU can do the schedule?
