Antiwork

First off, please be kind. I am not well versed in employment/labor law, I am just going off of gut feeling and what I have seen posted here before. Background: VERY small (

I don’t want to work. I don’t want to go into an office for 9 hrs a day every single day working for someone else until I’m 70 to maybe get a chance to retire. All the while being terrified of being late, being sick, making mistakes and having the threat of being fired over my head. I want to stay at home and work in my garden and work on my house and do work that I will actually benefit from and do work that will actually make me feel happier. I want to work on my own improvements not helping someone else get more money. Everyday that I get up and have to do this stupid routine over and over again is just really sucking the life out of me. How do people cope with this? I’m just resentful and angry at my job, everyone I have to…

And do you think this is fair? Do you think you've ever done something like that? Have you seen cases like this?

I'm currently on medical leave, I have a lot of fear about returning and the fallout from being gone for just over a month but it was unavoidable. I'm not going to risk death so a couple of PowerPoints can go out on time. Anyway I was pretty upset at the way things were handled leading up to me taking leave, I don't want to get into the whole thing but the gist is everyone was bent out of shape over having to do my work while I took a fun extended vacation sitting around trying to prevent sepsis while in excruciating pain as abscesses grew all over my body due to an extremely rare lupus like autoimmune condition. I figured in my happy fun relaxing paid time off I'd finally overhaul my garbage linkedin and low and behold I had 35 profile views from my company. Zero messages of…

I hope this is the correct sub for this. Few weeks ago, I asked my boss to raise my salary because it's not covering me anymore and that I come all the way (I live 40 mins away) because I like it here. They agreed to raise my salary and pay my gas costs. Couple of days ago, my boss asked me if I would like to move in to an apartment that is 5 mins walk from workplace because it's empty and they are paying the rent anyway and that “to save you time and I don't have to pay for gas”. So I got a click, that I will take salary minus gas costs which is about 800 a month for me and then I will have to pay all utilities and house bills (water, electricity, food from salt to bread) and that will eat up my paychecks…

Not sure if this is the right subreddit or not. I work as a roaster where my job role is to operate a large drum roaster that takes in a ton of product at a time to roast, think of a coffee roaster but scaled up in size. The roaster is about 2 stories high and 25 square meters. We were roasting a product in their today and going by our company SOPs for the product. We had just started the last step in the process, where it is a cooling step. We had started to cool it down and all was well until our power went out due to the weather affecting powerlines in the area. Our boss doesn't have a generator incase of a power outage issue, so we were out of power with a product that was very hot and close to it's combustion point, in a…
