Antiwork

I can’t stand office martyrs who gladly sacrifice their own health or happiness for the good of the company. Couple of years ago I worked for a boss who would put off surgery for a month because someone rescheduled a meeting that was later canceled. She would expect us to do the same. I was told of a meeting that I should attend the following morning (the meeting was scheduled for weeks but I was invited a few working hours before)and when I declined, because I had a doctors appointment that I would be charged for and that I needed to go to for my health I offended her. We kept working together after but I was never the first asked to meetings with executives.

I don't work for CVS, but I was there trying to get some comfort food and I was talking to the cashier when a non-service dog walks in and starts barking. I made a comment about how they're allowed to ask two questions to determine if that is a service dog and the employee tells me that there's an internal policy that keeps them from asking that. she also brought up that she had to fight for her wages and raises bc she was the lowest paid manager on the team. I know this country sucks (USA baby ) but this the first time I've had a conversation about it with someone about it. as I get more and more into the inequalities between the working class and corporations, it still gets me every time. it really makes me remember just how privileged I was growing up, but also how…

I work at a Burger King and our GM took away our calendar because he “was tired of people requesting days off.” Is this legal?

Apparently I was scheduled to work these past 2 Saturdays but I didn't show up because I didnt notice. I've had a set schedule for awhile now so lately I've just glazed over my upcoming schedule to see if it's changed. APPARENTLY I didn't notice they added Saturdays to the mix. Except no one has said anything to me. I've missed 2 Saturday CLOSING shifts and have received 0 calls asking why or if I'm coming in that day (like I'd expect) I've worked multiple days since, one WITH the store manager. Nothing. Today (after missing yesterday) I spoke with the assistant manager. We'd had a meeting and quotas were going up. I only work 3days a week so went over and told her I could take on a 4th to help out so long as I could do something new. This happened before I discovered my truancy) EXCEPT THEY…

Basically the title, starting a wfh job, not the greatest pay but it’s also not the worst. They asked me to go in to sign HR paperwork and pick up material, figured it’d be around three to four hours tops. The guy informed me its 8:30am to 5:00pm so basically a work day. I’ve been a sahm for a few years and before whenever I had to sign HR paperwork it was always considered a work day but I’ve never worked a wfh job before so not sure how it works tbh.

Kiwi here suffering in fast food. Became a part-timer because of university. I let my manager know that the contract about this schedule should switch to full time upon finishing this semester, specifying the date. Since last week she won't text me back about this, despite me asking for specific changes 5 months ago. I am finished with uni with nothing going on except the bills piling up, frantically applying to everything I have experience doing or would be physically able to do. Lucky me is over 18 though, and that means the company with the vacancy should pay me a living wage upon employment, and of course, they find that very yucky! It's much-more-importanter to pay a teenager their summer pocket money (I'm just joking). Because, they are cheaper. So, you see grocery stores suddenly bullying out whoever they can before the summer makes all shifts go to shit,…
