Antiwork

experimenting to find issues that will motivate both the disengaged and supporters to take action, thus potentially transforming them into activists. This sub, for instance?

This was after I laid out my accomplishments and pointed out the fact that many senior people had been given raises. And that HR gave a speech earlier in the week about how our company loves its people. Needless to say, I declined to meet with HR. Do you think that was the right move? (I figured that HR has no budget to give raises and would just use the meeting to make up faults.)

Does anyone have a link for the recent video that went viral of men at a sales conference chanting/screaming? It feels like this is the community who would know what I am talking about.

So, not totally sure if this is the right place to ask, but if this is off topic or violates rules, mods feel free to delete. Anyway, I’ve been working a job that has fewer than 25 employees in California for a while, so until then I was pretty up to date as far as wage law. It wasn’t until February of this year that my original company got absorbed by a larger company. Knowing that now there would be more than 25 employees, I knew pay had to jump at some point. I guess my question is, am I / my coworkers from the original employer entitled to back pay? If so, is there a deadline to have given us a raise that they met?

I currently work at a thrift store. My sole responsibility is to keep a section of the store stocked. One department sorts and prices the donations, I put the items on the sales floor. It's a pretty easy job, despite the customers. The other day my supervisor told me something that has boggled my brain ever since they said it. “Sales in this area are around 90%. Management wants it to be closer to 60%.” We already throw away a lot of product, more than I expected for a store that markets itself as green. I asked why they would wants sales to go down, and he said he didn't know, but that that's the recent feedback he's received from management. Any clue why a store would want their sales to go down?? I'd like to think he was just making shit up, or maybe this is some sort of…

I am behind on my orders because management over-schedules me without communicating with departments. Two managers come to my office suggesting that they pull someone from an unrelated department to operate my equipment so I can “play catch-up”. I outlined that not only is it unwise to have someone untrained working the machinery, but is dangerous as an accident can cause a fire or break the machinery and leave me without work and them without profit, on top of ruining product on orders this person have not been trained to do. Management told me I “don't know how to run a business” and “we need these orders completed so we can keep giving out paychecks.” I feel fucking insane. Is what they were trying to ask an OSHA violation? My equipment presents an extreme fire hazard if not handled properly, and they were suggesting this idea without management present (having…

I told them that I'm studying and I have to learn much, despite it I have my private life, gf and family, Taekwondo training etc. as I can see they do not give a single fuck about that and I'm about to drop this shit before my NIGHT SHIFT (they told me that I would not be forced to work at night) will begin in this Friday, nevertheless I have two weeks of notice period about what I won't give a shit and I simply finish my night shifts these week and then I'll not come there anymore.
