Antiwork

I live in England and the property that my mum rents is really nice and I've met the landlord on many occasions and he is one of the most helping and nicest people there are. I've heard alot of things about bad landlords and how everyone hates them but I just want people to know that even tho there are some assholes out there, some are actually really nice people like my landlord. I hope everyone can get a landlord like mine cause no one deserves to be taken advantage of. Stay safe.

I work at a dog daycare and I make 15 an hour. My boss agreed to give some overtime and I asked for as much as I could get since I've been struggling with money lately. She scheduled me for 45 hours this week. She will automatically deduct 30 mins from my hours a day for mandatory breaks so it brought that number down to 42 and a half hours.

So now I'm at an even 40 and no OT pay :/ It just sucks because Iv been trying to let her know Iv been struggling and I have also been working really hard so she would consider me from raise I'm currently looking…

Are they just so used to a labor surplus that they don't know how to deal with a labor shortage? I dunno. But I do know that threats make me 1) want to polish up my resume and 2) make me lose respect for those that use them. What do you all think? Just bad managers, garden variety stupidity, or that the shortage caught them off guard?

Ever since I was first hired straight out of university, my boss kept promising permanent contracts, but then hiring me on temporary contracts, and whenever the contract would be close to expiring, he didn't make a new one. He would always be busy, and I would “just have to continue working without a contract while he eventually got around to making a new contract”, often with the benefits removed or renegotiated. It happened several times. I kept feeling sick to my stomach, had trouble sleeping, kept being unsure if I would have a job tomorrow or not, and in general my salary was very low for my qualifications. So as you can imagine, I lost all respect for him and the company. When in the office, I would be on Reddit all day. When at home, I would sleep until 11, cook lunch, watch YouTube videos and maybe work an…
