Antiwork

So this is kind of a part two to my last post but I was fired today for clocking in outside of the building rather than inside, I was told that unlocking the doors is an unpaid practice and that it was considered wage theft. This place had the most roaches I’ve ever seen, the boss called me slurs, made people work off the clock, sold alcohol to minors, stole our tips, and threw things at us… The best part is I was actually going to turn my two weeks in today cause I start a new job tomorrow 🙂 and for anyone wondering the name of this toxic ass place is Java Surf Cafe and Espresso Bar in Virginia Beach Virginia! I was too scared to share the name last time cause I still actively worked there… I finally get to breath

Good morning, i have a situation at work going on and I’m not sure what to do, or if there’s anything i can do. I recently moved to Texas and got hired on at this company about a month ago. The way it works here is everyone is given a work phone to keep track of how much work they produce and proof that the work was done. I work in a rail yard and when the containers come off the trains, they get put on trailers and before the trailers deliver the containers they come to me if anything is wrong with the trailers.

So I’ve been working at a small family food retail business for 10 months now. Honestly I was really excited to get this job, because my previous retail job at a bakery chain ghosted me for three months (casual employee). This job is honestly really intense, mostly because of the massive number of different tasks to do and products they sell. Some products are sold by weight, some by fixed price, some barcodes scan and some don’t. Some items have price tags and some don’t, and if neither boss is available you basically have to just guess how much it’s worth and pray. The bosses are a married couple with young adult children who, when I started, also worked for them. Now two of them have other jobs during the week and come in to work weekends. Their youngest gets called in basically whenever, even though they’re trying to study.…
