Antiwork

So for context, I am working for a big company as an Account payables clerk. We have flexible hours so I can start anywhere between 7 am and 10 am as long as I do my hours. I do 37.5 h a week and I am not paid for overtime unless it has been approved beforehand. Because of this I do exactly my 7.5 a day not a minute more not a minute less. If I take a longer lunch I stay later and if I need to do overtime a day I finish earlier the next day. My boss is new to her role and she is allegedly only repeating what the director said. The other day she asked me to come into her office because they feel like I am too “micro managing”. She said that if I am not willing to be flexible on my hours then…

How true is this? In the sense that, would a top performer really receive more money? I hear this as a common argument when people say don’t put in more than 80% or you’ll just be given more work with no raise (which has happened to me a lot so I make a point to work slower so I don’t die from stress) But the argument to me doesn’t make sense because the point is (in my opinion) that even if you do put in over 100% all that happens is you receive the same raise (or no raise) as everyone else but now you’re doing more work. To me, it seems the notion is that no longer are you guaranteed a raise, promotion if you work hard. Seems like the majority of the time it only happens if you’re the office pet….but maybe I am wrong? It seems like…

Hi all, thank you for taking the time to read this. I am an RN at a clinic. Recently, my manager has been asking me/demanding me to do marketing activities such as cold calling patients and going door to door handing out fliers for the clinic. I feel a ton of pressure to just put my head down and do it and don’t really know what to say back as being a nurse and doing door to door advertising are very different than one another. In my job duties, there are a bunch of vague duties like “will contribute to the companies needs” and stuff like that so my concern is that I wouldn’t be doing my job if I decline. Especially since it is raining out and cold today, do I have the right to say no I won’t be doing that?

Here is a hypothetical. By some transpiration of events, everyone in America is gifted 40 acres of arable land, a reasonable home, the equipment necessary for self sustenance gardening, and all of the seeds necessary. Do we work then ?

i have been working retail in a fish store for few months over a year, i joined under a manager who was kind to me and helped make sure we weren't burned out and always made sure we had a manageable work load. in January we got new manager. he was the song of the owner and from the start i didn't like him. he would talk to customers and always see them for there wallets (still does) he would make conversation but wouldnt stop about pushing as a much as possible, now i understand money is important but it got worse. within the months he would turn to double our work load and our staff (a lot of students) so he never has actual full time workers aside from himself and therefore doesn't need need to pay anyone more, i have been making 16$ an hour in vancouver where…

I’m really sick and tired of being overwhelmed. I’m sick and tired of dealing with people and their bullshit. I’m so tired of hearing “why do I have insurance “ well it’s so you don’t have to pay $18000+ because whoever installed your dishwasher is a dumbass and didn’t do it right. I’m sick of dealing with impatient people that don’t even give me a full 24 hours to do something, when I’m also trying to balance every fucking thing else I have to do. From answering the phone to answer a simple question because the unlicensed intern can’t and the new person that is licensed is too new and it’s too easy for them to transfer them to do so then I’m too busy handling everything that I don’t have time to do what I need to do in the time provided to me. I’m getting burnt out and…
