Antiwork

I think my husband will be laid off tomorrow. What can I say to him? How can I make it better without being overbearing? Such a sad time. Feel free to guide to an alternate community on Reddit. Thanks!

I work at a Dominos, and a manager has claimed they're going to start charging people for the drinks we take from the cooler. For sodas I guess I understand, but for bottled water, how does that work? We DO have sinks but we do not have disposable cups. Are they allowed to enforce this?

It should be pretty sweet to talk about Dem victories like Fetterman's to these types of coworkers.

I work for a non-profit, state regulated agency. Every 2 years, we are required to get a physical and a PPD test. They pay for the services but it generally takes a good chunk of time. We can only go to the urgent care facility that they choose. At the very least it takes 2 hours but generally it will take longer than that. We also have to go back 2 days later to get the PPD test read but that usually doesn't take long if a nurse is available. Should I put that time on my timesheet?

Not my first job overall. But I am used to freelancing and also working at a garden center, which paid like shit but nourished my soul.

Wish me luck, or preferably, shoot me.

whenever I see someone that doesn't know what they want to do in life, people in the replies are always telling him/her to look into skill trades. I get it, they make good money. I've sometimes been considering them myself as well. But there's so many reasons I wouldn't want to work in skill trades. here's just a few. 1: It's very hard on your body. I would rather work a job where I put minimal stress on my body, rather than a job where my body would be fucked up before I even reach 45. you'll feel too tired and exhausted to do anything after work. cant exercise outside of work or go to the gym at all. 2: People talk as if it's a simpler alternative than attending college, but that isn't true. For the majority of skilled trades, you must study and learn a lot. It's probably…

I live in the US. It seems like all the policies and benefits of being in the EU are tailored towards having less time at work, whereas the US is designed to suck every ounce of strength out of you for profit. Can any Europeans testify to this?
