Antiwork

At the moment the only job I can get within walking distance is at a fast food restaurant, I have a decent amount of experience in food service and the pay is “decent” so I took it to avoid dying. So far this week we have not gotten our schedule and have been told via text the day of whether we'll need to work or not, with maybe about an hour's notice I was told to come in at 6 PM today so I got dressed and headed out, then when I arrived I was told to “wait around for a bit” because they aren't busy right now. Am I wrong in thinking this is nonsense? I was told to show up at work not even two hours before the shift and now they're disregarding my time further by requiring that I stay without pay while they decide whether I'm…

I'll try to summarize as best as possible, but it's a long story. Worked in a factory for 6.5 years on nights, through the entirety of Covid, and I'd like to think I was more than useful. I'm married, my spouse works on dayshift at the same factory, and we have a two year old. We decided that it was time for me to try and get on days. I agreed completely, I never saw my family so it was a no brainer. Transfers were open at the time based on seniority, and at one point I was in the top five or so. Every month, number one goes to days. And every month I was getting moved down the list. It came down to, “Give me a set date or I'll find work elsewhere.” I found work elsewhere. Now I wanted to go back to the same location, I…

Hi /antiwork, I'm looking to get feedback for the next steps on these two situations. For some background, I work for a small-medium-sized business. ​ On the night of 10/31/22, I got an e-mail (after 9pm) for a calendar invite three days in advance titled “Check In”. HR had scheduled 8 back-to-back meetings for that day and hid them as “busy” on google calendars to several folks at the company, which usually his meetings are not private. I am going into the meeting tomorrow and want to see how I should prepare or think/act during this meeting. For my second situation, I have “some” evidence (call it screenshots) of the last two months going through what we call in legal terms “constructive dismissal”. I have chat logs and examples from each meeting showing that my work and priorities began to be shifted to different folks in order to get a…

On my break as I'm writing this, my job is seriously annoying the hell out of me. They sent home my coworker who I was working with because we were having a conversation while we worked. Don't get me wrong, I'd get it if we were both being completely inefficient and not doing anything, but we were doing more than the whole damn kitchen staff was doing other than us.

I work at and live at an apartment complex as one of two maintenance techs, plus the manager. My current issue is I am the only one of 3 employees who pays any portion of rent now, part of the job is to live on site for emergencies and rent is compensated 100%. And this only started recently when I transferred from a 1 bedroom to a 2 bedroom because my fiancée was moving in with me. The only way the owner of the property would approve the transfer was if I paid the difference between the two apartments. Now it really isnt a bad deal, especially for how much rent is, I know there are soooo many others struggling to pay the bullshit rent prices. But what fucking gets me is their logic= because I am not married and dont have a family (kids) I should not need a…
