Antiwork

Nowdays I(31M) have an solid and good career and even work from home. But when i had 24, i got a friend to got me a job in a language school, to work as a receptionist. But the job was way more than that. I had to answer the fone, write contracts, open the door for people coming and going, watch the children, register payments to the bank, be the IT guy, i had to sell the courses with all the BS that entail, like subscription tax. I started with a girl that would cover the morning shift while i would cover the afternoon and night shift, because, acording to the owners, i was there to close the school, because i was a male and it was less dangerous. I guess my pp makes me bulletproof, but ok. As soon as i start, i had some difficult to get in…

Looking @ this page it brings me all the memories of work that I’ve gone thru and I’d though I’d share one w the people of Reddit. There was this one time when Covid was fresh off the boat. I was working for LAUSD @ the time in the janitorial department. I guess the district had janitors coming in once a week for specific schools & still get paid for the full week and the one I was at turned out to be one. Well we weren’t aware and the boss me & my crew had was. This motherfucker really looked us in the eye and told us we had to come the whole week still or we won’t get paid. So we ended up going in for the full week still until I came across another buddie of mine telling me the real info. As soon as we found…

I’ve been working at my job for around 5 months now. I’m a good employee and rarely call out. The only times I’ve called out were when I was extremely sick and one week when I had a family emergency. I used to call out a lot from my old job due to mental health issues, and have tried to do better this time around. Clearly It’s not worth it. I work at a pretty big named store, with a grocery side and a home, electronics, and apparel side. The grocery side has tons of employees, my side not so much. When I first started working here, there were several employees who could work the floor and cashier on this side. We are now down to what I believe to be literally under 10 employees. Only like 5 people including me consistently show up. Most everyone has quit by now…

Hello. Just the usual you know. A client who asks gor work, sees it, doesn't want to pay, and… threatens to call the police? Yes that last part is real. Apparently responding to an email insisting on being paid is harassment? Its their call if they dont want to work together anymore… fair. We've been working together for almost two months. But there were some things I thought presented some engineering issues that I couldn't ethically gloss over. For pointing it out I was let go, without the last two weeks hous paid out. I was working at reduced rate for equity, but apparently that is gone because the evaluation period extended to the first of next year. But his last email requested I only contact him via my lawyer, which I dont have. I am not eager to play into any harassment claims, so I am not sending any…

I’m a software engineer and I am getting pretty sick of working in the software industry. I’m curious what jobs I could apply for that would allow me to leverage my programming knowledge to automate part or most of my job. Have any of you done this before?

So I have clearly determined that I am grossly misclassified. I should absolutely be a w2 full time employee where I work, as should everyone else in my department. I already know the appropriate steps to take to report this. I am fed up with the micromanaging and numerous emails outlining how I must work 8 hour shifts Monday-Friday. Even after requesting less hours. I could go into so much detail about how I am blatantly misclassified but that’s not what this post is about. Instead I wish to leave, immediately. I don’t even want to bring this to their attention and request a status change at this point because they have become SO overbearing with the workload and expectations (FYI I was completely naive to being misclassified until recently). I have my contract and it simply states that the agreement will automatically terminate after 365 days, and in addition…
