Antiwork

For context, I'm a temporary employee for a government institution, working on a 3 year contract. My industry has a lot of temporary employees in this kind of position – as a profession we're notorious for poorly paid, temporary work. I've been at my job for about a year and a half, so I'm halfway through my contract. Like a lot of government work, my job has been poorly organized and minimally supervised – I've really only had one consistent project in spite of trying to get a few others off the ground. After about 8 months, I realized I was better off using this time to more or less coast rather than trying to start new projects. I work with one coworker, Lewis, on this primary project. We have a big final presentation coming up in June. We had another coworker, Emma, who was coordinating several of the technical…

My work created an employee survey using google forms and I would like to really give it to them (anonymously). Is there any way for an organization to track who submitted the form when it doesn’t ask for your email or name? Just want to make sure before I submit honestly.

I do believe the topic of anti work is well discussed, with clear problems and solutions being identified. But what about us, the workers? Are there any habits that some have taken on that, in a form of protest to work, negatively impact our fellow workers? Therefore adding to a hostile environment?

I applied for a Job. Today l got an email saying they reviewed my application and asked if l was still interested so that l we could talk about the next steps. I responded and told the company that l was interested. I asked when they would be available for a virtual meeting/interview to discuss the next steps. Instead of sending me a couple of dates to choose from, they sent me a long application to complete and told me l should complete it; then we would talk about the next steps. When l applied for this Job, my resume was pretty detailed and l answered all the questions they had on their indeed application. I feel turned off by their response considering they won’t give me an interview but want me to give them an application with the same information they just reviewed. I’m wondering if lm being unreasonable?…

As with a lot of companies, my employer is struggling to get new hires, and keep full trained staff in the door. Last weekend we had our company xmas party, which included an end of the year update. Everyone in the company has been pensive the last 2 months since the president said 'it's been a tough year, but we've stuck through it and made it through the roughest of covid'. The company produces food stuffs for grocery stores so we had to work through the lockdowns and variant spikes. Manually feeding bulk product to be shredded down into finished goods (store brand cheese). Averaging 40-120lbs at a time, around 25000lbs of cheese on the slower lines, and upwards of 60000lbs of cheese per shift (the lines I'm lucky enough to work on 99% of the time). All put on the infeeds by hand. As of now, we are at…
