Antiwork

I work at dollar general and our managers can give “announcements” through an app called legion. Looked on there just a while ago to see him ranting about how “not everyone can be off on Thanksgiving. So everyone needs to stop requesting off” So can someone please tell me why every manager except for one gets to be off that day? What's worse is that they don't even do anything. They get paid more to sit in a comfy office all day and bark orders at everyone. Then on top of that they get go spend time with their families; but for some reason we don't? Sounds fair to me.

I am so tired of working in general. I hate being abused and overworked by people who never apologize for nearly driving me insane. Is there a way to escape it? It's better to go homeless nomad and live off scraps for the rest of my life? Why the f*** work has gotten so much worse and just straigh up unbearable with wages that is getting ever closer to being unjustifiable? Where is the f***ing rage, why aren't we protesting like mad dogs demanding better than this bs?!?!

So here's a bit of a rant but Tl;Dr : Wife had a hernia, doctors didn't fix it, went to work with it at a grocery store, told her bosses she couldn't be picking up heavy shit because it will make her hernia worse, bosses didn't care, now wife is in the emergency room and I think this won't be covered by workman's comp and her insurance doesn't cover a lot for emergencies. My wife works at a grocery store chain that has a lot of problems. She's an assistant manager at a deli that most of the workers have seen the writing on the wall and left. So now they're understaffed and underpaid because America. Now my wife got a hernia a few years ago that the doctors would not fix because they were afraid that if she continued to work it would open up again anyway and all…

I have two job offers. One is 5k more than the other and has 14 days paid off than the one that’s 5k less (the one that’s 5k less offers 10 paid days). The thing is, I didn’t get great vibes from the job offering more money. I work in a very emotionally taxing industry and have been very unhappy at my current job. The job offering less money I gravitated to right away. I really could see myself at that job. The other job I left feeling confused and unsure, but I have a family to support and I need the money. Please, I need some advice/opinions. This has really been stressing me out.

Background: I live in Nevada. About a month ago, I got a new job with an agreed upon take-home wage of $1,000 per week (net). I just wrapped up four weeks and thought things were going well. But just yesterday, I got called in for a meeting where my supervisor handed me the document I posted. I was shocked, because they want me to sign this thing agreeing to practically halve my salary, and prior to this, they had given me absolutely no indication (verbal or written) that I wasn’t performing to their standards. I’ve worked some crappy jobs in the past, but I’ve NEVER been presented with something like this. Has anyone dealt with something similar, and if so, what did you do?

So I put in a UNPAID time off request two months in advance for a surgery I had scheduled. My job has a point system, and I have 0 points and have not called off in over a year o I strategically saved my points for this moment. I talked to my manager before I made the request and told him about it and that I will work gladly holidays after that. He denies the request and it was only for a week (definitely won’t be healed by then) so I put in another request for 6 days, Deny. Then put in another one for 4 days, DENY. I found out tonight that another coworker who got the same surgery was approved 3 weeks off! Im furious as to why hers was approved and not mine when I talked to him about it. Now I have sacrifice my points for…

“We aspires to a higher vision of prosperity. It still operates within its own community or organisation, but it knows that the secret of real growth and expansion (the 53rd Gift) lies in mutually cooperative models between different groups or organisations. Aspiration allows you a much broader vision of how to create prosperity for everyone. Here we see ambition moving beyond the personal and into the communal. These people want their entire community to thrive in order that they can draw more and more people up the hierarchy away from the self-destructive patterns of the lower frequencies” Excerpt From Gene Keys Richard Rudd https://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewBook?id=0 This material may be protected by copyright.
