Antiwork

New welding job, review is to take place after your 90 days, it’s now day 159. I was told on my 90 days to “give it 2 weeks” fast forward I’m in a new position, double the work for the same pay (the review would bump my pay up based on skills in both areas). Running my own bay in the new department, training new people, & obligated to stay 9 hours minimum when every other department in the plant gets out after 8 hours. Given my final notice on January 3rd by my old supervisor(?) for taking too many days off last year (even though time doesn’t roll over so it’s use it or lose it). Was never given a verbal / written / or even talked to about it before that. The money is good & it’s close to home, plus I love the people I work with.…

I work(ed) in the billing dept of one the the largest retail chains in the United States and they amass a workforce of 2.2 million people. Today, I came to a new realization and it is the title of the post. After getting paid and giving my own employers money back to them via groceries, I have simply had enough. After almost a year, I am done billing people for my companies screw ups. Done with a system “mysteriously” charging people with ghost orders from both peoples debit cards and Foodstamps. My company may as well be subsidized by the US govt through public benefits alone. They fuck the poor over with their “always low prices” It's sick. And I'm done. 15$/hr isn't worth it. The wfh is nice but I can barley pay my bills as is. Much less move ahead in life. I don't know what is ahead…
