Antiwork

I’ve heard of retail and service workers passing out from exhaustion on their feet, but a corporate desk job? I have never felt so weak. Months of working evenings, weekends, and late nights. Haven’t hung out with friends, barely see boyfriend, family has basically forgotten I exist. One of my devs put in her 2 weeks notice and I’m so proud of her. I need to put mine in too, but I want to do thorough research and find a much better company atmosphere moving forward. I also don’t want to abandon my two teams. I do so much to protect them from the shit I get as is. They deserve better. I want to encourage all of us to leave this godforsaken place.

Left isn't left any more if they don't even touch on problems of working people.

I'm so sorry for grammar and spelling. I am still coming down off an anxiety attack and just really need advice here for myself and other women in our group. I recently became pregnant after suffering a miscarriage of two twins less than 2 months ago. Upon hiring to this company I was told my appointments would be respected and whatever accomodations I need would be protected. However, we just spent an hour today being literally berated by two female managers saying otherwise and much more. We were told within 90 days absolutely NO time off would be approved. They would “work” with the pregnante women on scheduling their doctors appointments closer to their in time and out time. However any requests would be denied and more than 2 missed days was automatic firing. They stated this was policy and we could not fight it as it's what's expected and…

At FedEx we are worked like dogs. Union talk has happened in the past but is quickly shut down by executives. I believe that majority of my coworkers are on the bandwagon but fear getting fired. We are so short staffed it is ridiculous. Each night we all do the workload of what should be done by several people. Management is always pushing us to limits just so we don’t get a break as to cost cut. Managers get incentive to get the workload done fast and to get us off the clock. People are bitter and angry. The atmosphere is depressing. How do I go about getting people together safely? How does one form a union? I’m so ignorant on this whole process. I don’t want anyone to lose their job as well as I lose mine. I have considered flyer distribution in the parking lot by a third…

Speech therapist here, is there extra burnout in schools and health care? Or is it the same across all fields/jobs and it’s just the modern day stress of feeling like we are having to work to survive? I hope this makes sense.

I get 8-10 hours of sleep every night, i’m always well rested but also always absolutely exhausted. it’s having an impact on my job where i’m falling asleep at work i work as a cleaner mostly on my own so i work at my own pace within the time constraints (2-3 hours) i’m often so exhausted in the early mornings that once i’ve cleaned the single stall staff bathrooms i’ll sit there and rest my head on the counter (it’s small enough so you can sit on the toilet and put your head on the counter) and close my eyes for 10-15 minutes. pls help,, one of my biggest fears is getting told off and i desperately need to have the energy to do this job as i’d probably never find one as easy as this for this salary ever again.

I have a job that I love. I work with special ed kids from kindergarten to 3rd grade, and it’s exhausting, but I am not a teacher, so I get paid even less than the disgusting low wages of teachers. I don’t want to deal with all the bullshit teachers deal with, but I don’t wanna do anything else. I cannot support myself on my salary and I don’t wanna live at home forever. I’m so fucking tired of having to think about going back to school or getting a new job so I can make more money. The stress is making me sick.

Okay so I am usually all for worrying hard and doing my part even at the cost of my free time however today was the straw that broke the camel's back. I had an interview lined up with a solar company today, simple job but it seemed to pay well. I received specific instructions to meet the hiring manager at an office location. The email was very clear that if I couldn't make it to call hours in advance and reschedule as to not waste the hiring managers time. Well I get on the road start heading to the interview about an hour early(30 minute drive there) its literally 100 degrees today. so I get to the location and its a freaking construction lot. I walk up to one dude and ask him if ***** solar is here or nearby. Guy says no its one of the building over there…
