Antiwork

Me and my co-worker have a monthly schedule to complete which in reality takes anywhere between 1-2 weeks to get done. The rest of the time we are just sitting around at work with nothing to do so we have been wondering if there is anything productive we can do on the side to make extra cash on our downtime. Any suggestions?

Long story short I work in the medical field and I work PRN for a staffing service. We are required to work two 12 hour shifts per month. I work Monday through Friday at another job and I am in school earning my Masters degree. My manager doesn’t like me for whatever reason but I have never met her in person. I have worked one shift this month, but my wife has been really sick. I have requested a meeting with my manager over a month ago to address my concerns so as not to lose my job but she has repeatedly ignored my requests. I enjoy what I do and I am good at it but I loathe my manager. I would say she is the worst manager I have ever had but she doesn’t even really do anything for me other then look for stuff to discipline me…

Why!?

I have been chronically overworked, talked over, looked over and brushed off my entire first year at this job. I got my 90 eval six months in. No raise. Year anniversary came and went. No eval. A friend referred me to a job at her company that would pay me so much more, like $10k more. I interview in an hour. This morning as if by fate my boss messages me that she finally has my year eval. I got outstanding on everything and told I would get the max raise. My raise was 77 cents. I could tell my boss expected me to be excited but I thought of how all the back breaking work and all that overtime and extra effort amounted to 77 cents. i dont mean to sound ungrateful but I was told raises here were very substantial so not to worry about the starting pay…

Anyone work at Wells Fargo and got laid off? I heard they did layoffs by an automated voicemail.. please tell me this isn’t true? What a shitty corporation!

A friend of mine – as a manager – had to go through some disciplinary action with one of his team members because they'd breached the “Bradford Factor”. I looked this up, as I'd never heard of it as an employee, and found this previous post: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/sflkhm/how_sickness_can_get_you_fired_the_bradford_factor/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3 This is pretty mental, especially for anyone with children during a pandemic etc. It feels like this should be pinned so people know how much a sick day might cost them at work.
