Antiwork

So its been 7 months and I thought I would update. Of course my company would say something. However it took like 3 months for my boss to say “So.. HR sent me a letter and I need to ask you to go into the office.” My boss, who works remotely full time, proceeds to tell me how they knew… badges in and out of the building, and the metric was at least 50% of core days, core days being Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. However, every other person in my group was doing the same thing and got told to go in also. So okay, fine, for the next 2 months, I took the advice of one of my commentors and showed up for the one meeting I had every week, that was on a call with the whole team. and then one other day a week I would drive…

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…
