Antiwork

I work in a catering company that has a contract with a mine camp, I'm here for two weeks and I'm off for two weeks. I work 12 hour days and I'm allowed one hour of a break, when I started they said I can split my break anyway I want just as long as I use the whole hour. Yesterday the chef confronted me about me being on my phone (it was an emergency) I accepted what I did was wrong but explained it was an emergency, he didn't care then he told me I'm not allowed to use the rest of my break, I told him I had 20 minutes left and that our 1 hour break is mandatory. He told me that I used my whole break but we have our break times signed in and out by us on a break sheet. He walked me to…

During open enrollment I signed up for a flex plan. It takes an amount I agreed to out of my pay each month tax free and puts it into an account that I use for health care expenses. Thing is, my work didn’t set up any of the employee flex plans correctly, so the system didn’t take money out the first month from the paycheck, but money was deposited in the flex accounts. They are now saying I have to pay that back in my next check, double in February. I said no, reduce the total by one month. I can technically afford it in my next paycheck, but that’s ridiculous that I have to deal with this. Since the contract says that the company will take a set amount each month, do they have any right to shift the month? I did say I would reduce the whole value…

Trapped in a cubicle, day in and day out, Feeling like a caged bird, with nowhere to scout. The humdrum of the office, a tedious grind, Where creativity and passion, are left far behind. The ticking of the clock, a constant drone, Counting down the minutes, till we're alone. The fluorescent lights, a constant glare, Making our eyes weary, and our moods, impair. The endless meetings, and the pointless tasks, A never-ending cycle, that forever lasts. The politics and bureaucracy, a constant fray, Making our jobs, a constant dismay. We sit for hours, staring at a screen, Our backs and necks, in constant spleen. The sedentary lifestyle, takes its toll, Leaving us feeling, exhausted and old. The office, a place where dreams go to die, Where ambition is stifled, and creativity, a lie. A place where we're trapped, day in and day out, Wishing for freedom, and a way to…

We are brought into this world, with no say, Used for the benefit, of those who sway. Born into a life, of toil and strife, A tool for others, to use in their life. We are raised, to serve a purpose, A means to an end, a mere surface. Our talents and dreams, often ignored, As we're pushed to conform, and to be adored. We are used for labor, to fuel the economy, Our bodies and minds, a means to a destiny. We are used for our youth, and for our health, A resource to be exploited, for the wealth. We are used for our taxes, to fund the state, Our freedoms and rights, often sealed by fate. We are used for our votes, to sway the polls, Our opinions, a means to control the roles. But in this cycle of use and abuse, We must refuse to be just…

I work at goodwill and they have this thing on their website to report problems, I don’t trust it tho. Don’t want just an “eh” response on my managers bs. I know I have a good amount of things to point out but don’t want it disregarded. About most of the employees wanna quit, we just try getting through our day

I seem to be a latchkey person for last resort promotional opportunities. I've been burned recently with a promotional opportunity that I otherwise would of liked and would of been good at. My manager has made it clear they will no longer allow me to do anything but the job task I'm assigned to and that's it! (Mostly due to lack of staff and my position is difficult to fill.) I now have no more empathy left towards my job. I call out now twice a month because our union contract allows it. (So long as attendance is in good standing.) The income is nice but I bore of it. Minimum state wage is quickly catching up to our jrnyman pay and the union is too slowly increasing our pay. Moral at my store is also very low. Corporate doesn't seem to care. Current management isn't holding staff responsible for…
