Antiwork

I've notice a lot more capitalist apologists lately. I don't know where these people are coming from. There also seems to be a stark “wE jUsT nEeD rEguLaTiOnS” sentiment. Fuck that, until workers completely own the means of production for the profits they produce, it's exploitation. We need a militant labor force to fight the owner class and the fascists they support. Stop shilling for corporations, executives and capitalism in general. A friendly reminder that this is a hard leftist subreddit. Conservatives, while you may hate your job, your viewpoints in general are abhorrent and you support fascism. You should live the rest of your life in shame. If you don't like that, go to r/workreform where the mods who peddle crypto can agree that we just need a few regulations while they screw you over.

As title says, in June I got screwed on my bonus. Got told when I joined it was 10-15% of annual salary. June rolls around and the bonus is at 6%. Was told our whole team took a hit on bonuses this year, despite the company doing 40% more revenue than projected, and while celebrating 2 x multi-million £ contracts I was instrumental to us winning. I asked if there was anything I personally could have done to get my full bonus? The answer was “no”. When I asked around, everyone else in the team had gotten a full bonus – except for me. So it wasn’t just the lack of bonus but the deception surrounding it. (Maybe relevant or not: I’m the only woman on my team, all the men got a full bonus). Having been with the company for a year, demonstrated my value, with the cost of…

First of all, note that I work in France, where unions are mandatory over a certain company size. I work for a big media group as a tech support, my job can be done 99% remotely. The 1% left is if someone ever gets to our office unprompted, which they are not supposed to do, but do anyway sometimes (force of habit). Also, if shit goes down at night, someone is there to intervene. This is rare, but it happens. Until September, we had 3 shifts to cover : morning (6am – 1:30pm), afternoon (11:15am – 6:45pm) and night (6:30pm – 2am). Every shift was covered by at least 2 people in case of emergency, or to make time for paid leave, and, since CoViD, to be able to have people remote and in office. Now, shifts goes as follow : 1 technician at 6:30 to 2pm 2 dispatchers at…

Serious question. If everyone that felt they Had to work to survive, just up and quit. Stopped paying for bills and rent/mortgage. Didnt leave when asked to vacate the domicile. The working class Far out numbers the people that are in “control” of everything. The working class has the power.

I had an interview today. The job consists of answering the phone when clients have doubts or problems. I want an income until I finish my degree. They don't pay much, but it's something. The company looks good, and so does the office. But the recruiter was intimidating. She kept repeating she would check my references in a threatening way, for some reason. I have nothing to hide, so fine. She then wanted to know if I was pursuing another career, as I'm in college. Of course I want to do better than working 5 hours a day in a call center. Doesn't everyone? Yet I remained polite – Reassuring her that I had a real interest in working for the company. What bothered me is what came next. The recruiter wanted to make sure I would be 100℅ invested in the role and wouldn't have any obstacles messing up…

I’m having major surgery at the end of the year which will require me to take about a week of PTO. December is usually a slow time for us so I don’t foresee it being busy aside from professors needing laptop carts. But I still feel guilty about taking time off. Has anyone figured out how to get rid of that guilt. I feel like it’s so deeply ingrained in our society that we have to give our heart and soul to our jobs and that taking time off is a huge no-no.

I've been with my company for six years now, I'm a healthcare employee. The last two weeks my supervisor has been asking me to clock out early because it's been slow. I clocked out early and ended up using my PTO to cover the hours I missed that week. I have never been asked to clock out early in the six years with this company, and we go through a slow time every year during the summer. My question is, is this legal? Can they make me clock out early last minute without notice? I need to have 40 hours week and using my PTO is just a temporary solution for me.

I designed a product for a high end client in a week while juggling a million other projects. Guess how much my company received for that project? $1,80,000 Guess what my monthly salary is? Barely $315
