Antiwork

I get it. I was hired as an associate attorney and expected to bill 1850 hours per year. I started the last week of August, and in late November, I was told I was being moved to hourly because I was not meeting my billable hours requirements. It was sold to me as a good idea because I could have a flexible schedule. Wasn’t thrilled, but I got it. I had to miss a lot of time due to my SO’s Health issues and a closing on the sale of our house that kept getting moved. Thing is, I’ve literally billed more than half of what the other full time associate has for the whole year in just 4 months. I’m still below the quota, but comparatively speaking, I’m kicking ass. And the whole flexible schedule thing? Yeah, that’s not happening. I’m constantly getting grilled about when I’m gonna be…

Question for all of you: I'm in favor of better benefits, better pay, more employees to distribute work, ect, but find myself lost about how to approach these beliefs in a way that feels ethical. I work at an immigration law firm. If I slack off, or don't show up, or if all the paralegals and assistants went on strike, our clients, who are part of an extremely vulnerable population, would be completely screwed. Like a lot of these people are fleeing extreme violence, and get killed when they're deported. Obviously it's complicated because though I spend my day helping people, in an ideal world my job wouldn't exist. We would just give people visas who needed them. The attorneys are making hundreds of thousands of dollars off of this corrupt system. I'm making a much more meager wage, in spite of doing a huge bulk of very difficult work.…

Most (59%) Americans are a small financial emergency away from finding themselves on the streets. We need better resources for people to be able to make ends meet and to get back on to their feet. https://invisiblepeople.tv/59-of-americans-are-just-one-paycheck-away-from-homelessness/

Around September I got a job at this little coffee shop in my small town. My boss originally hired me for special evening occasions that were held on the other side of the building like yoga/meditation classes, creative writing, etc,… But she realized she didn’t need me to be around for those as she could cover it herself and so I got moved to the weekend closing shifts. I was fine with it, even though it was only 10 hours a week (9-2 each day) because It’s my first job and I have huge problems with adhd and maintaining a healthy work life. I just need the money and this one seems to be a good fit. I got my schedule for January the other day and my shifts got pushed from 9-2 to 10-2. So even though I might be 15-30 minutes late here and there with dishes, shutting…

Have you ever lost your breath? I feel weak and drained dry. Who cares if it’s the weekend or a New Year? My job sucked all the joy out of me and I will spend “my time” trying to recover. I won’t do anything crazy, but I fantasize about it all the time. You?

I’m looking for the management and leadership one and I’m willing to award a gold badge if anyone can find me the answers. Thanks

I was late by about 12 minutes to work today. I walk to work and the roads were very busy so it took longer to wait to cross the roads. I was then told that for my 8 hour shift that I would not be getting a break. I fucking hate everyone.
