Antiwork

If you aren’t at the table, you’re on the menu.

They try to squash any talk of how their practices and policies affect our bottom line. I'm tired of it. Dear (Owner of company), It is with a heavy heart that I write to you today. I have been a member of the sales team with (the company) for just under two and a half years. In my time with the company I have been very vocal about several sticking points relating to my position here. Unfortunately, I do not feel the severity of the impact these situations have on us has been fully recognized. I would like to lay this out for you as clearly as I possibly can to ensure there is absolutely no misunderstanding here. I know that last year (the company) did over two billion dollars in profits. I know that my position saw a raise that equated to 0.000000000345% of that. I also know that…

I've had Tuesdays and Wednesdays off for awhile now, and was pleased to be getting a 3 day weekend since my job will be closed on Thanksgiving Thursday. Today, I get these from two managers within a minutes of each other. Thoughts? https://preview.redd.it/iaekz8g8yk1a1.jpg?width=2438&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=19e970c66eab70ab9a3e8f6a23eee84f968f6159

Hi everyone. As I'm writing this, I'm so overwhelmed and emotional about my job. I left my previous job for this current one and I was promised career growth, training, etc. but instead I'm left with none of those things and have since spiraled into a depressive state. I've attempted to leave to another company but have no such luck. It seems that I cannot escape my current job. I feel trapped. My current role is very technical involving reactors and reactor systems. I was not properly trained for this because the person who previously worked in this role claimed to also not be very knowledgeable and was not trained by anyone qualified either. So as you can imagine, the knowledge is diluted with every turnover. The current turnover rate for my role is 50% within the last year. It seems no one has stuck around long enough. The supervisors…

You can’t make a billion dollars without lying, cheating, mistreating, and/or stealing.

I work for one of the richest corporations, but my company doesn't do bonuses or yearly merit raises. Instead they throw a chili cookoff lunch the day before Thanksgiving, when most folks are on holiday. I received an email today that the cookoff is cancelled because they didn't receive enough entries…. essentially, we get to throw ourselves a “pizza party”. I've worked here for two years, way longer than most people, and asked (unsuccessfully) for a raise four times. People keep quitting due to the pay inequity and burnout, which has been piling more and more onto my plate, for the same pay. I've been promised since August that I would be retroactively compensated for the extra jobs I've been handling, meanwhile they keep pushing back the date that that's supposed to start (now it's mid-December). The man in charge makes over half a million. One of my coworkers who…

my dad is a worker for a big company for 16-17 years and the last 3 years were all overtime even the holidays like 6 am to 8 pm kinda hell with the lowest pay for those hours in us dollars it would be 3 dollars per hour and still, he can't take one day off why cuz the sales are high and the asshole boss want more raise so the workers should have near death job time for the lowest pay he got covid and “for the good of the company” they lowered he's a paycheck for medical care that he paid for and this is 100% legal nice work, people this is the thing that we are living in

so this is my first post here sorry for lack of understanding about anything. I live in Alberta, Canada and was hired on through a government adjacent career counseling program for context. So I work at a chain restaurant and ive been having consistent issues with a particular manager, its an issue of being asked to stay late like 2-5 mins before the end of my shift, and more accurately it's being ordered to stay not asked, I have tried to be reasonable and simply requested a bit more notice as I have things I need to attend to outside of work and almost always have a ride waiting who also has things to do. I have so far been completely stone-walled with any request ive made for accommodation and am really unsure if I have any recourse should something happen, I have been told directly by both the front…
