I look online for remote or work from home jobs and they all look like scams, or someone will say they have a remote job but never tell what it is or how to find one. Is it possible to find a work from home/remote job? I need this to save up money to get my car fixed because it needs over $500 worth of work and I can’t really drive it to a work place every single day because that makes it worse. And no, public transportation isn’t an option, we don’t have that we’re I’m at.

I work for a chain restaurant in Florida. The chain only has locations in Florida. The restaurant uses Paylocity for payroll, benefits, etc. I received a one dollar raise from $11 to $12 on the third of July, 2023. I received a check direct deposit on 9/29. I looked on Paylocity to see how much I made in tips. I noticed the rate posting in the earning section is $11, but another section stated that my hourly rate $12. I received $539.11 in regular pay, excluding tips. I should have received $588.12 at the $12 rate. That $49 dollar difference is equivalent to my monthly pet insurance bill! That’s grocery money!! That’s pay off my student loans money!!! I investigated further: all my checks since my raise was approved in the system were paid at a $11 rate. In the Paylocity rates tab, there’s two sections: “rates” and “additional rates.”…

The company I was working for was struggling, got bought out in an effort to save it, and I signed a contract with the new company. 2 weeks prior to the new contract/company purchase I finally reached my wits end with the toxic workplace. Issues I had included over $8,000 in over time not getting paid to me, sexist behaviour, gossiping, unfair treatment, lack of support to succeed, boundary crossing, unexplained expectations, disorganisation, etc. The place has done an absolute number to me mentally over the past couple years and prior to the sell I began to learn that even though I was made to feel that I was being sensitive every time I spoke up, everyone below upper management had the same issues. I finally felt validated and it angered me. I told my boss off and walked out mid project. I haven’t spoken to anyone at the company…

For those who haven’t read the first post: https://reddit.com/r/antiwork/s/1xXGIlADYy Thank you for all of the support I received on my first post. To follow up- I have absolutely no regrets quitting my previous job. Comparing my new job to my old job, the treatment is night and day. My new boss is extremely kind, cares about a healthy work culture, and doesn’t care when I work remotely as opposed to in office. Speaking of the office, they gave me MY OWN office with two big windows that bring in sunlight. This is the first time I’ve worked outside of a cubicle! I now look forward to going into work. My coworkers also greet me warmly and check in on how I am doing. As for my old job- I still have connections who work there. The staff is unrecognizable since so many people have quit. My toxic ex-manager continues being…

Why company fire as soon as you give your two week. I kept wanted to give anyone and every one my pices of mind when they yelled at me or my coworkers at my first job and say what are you going to do fire me!!! At my 2nd job I'm just a body here, I still have one more weekend with them . I can't even bring my self to care about how the store looks or if I'm doing things on time because she has not even started looking to hire someone to replace me. I can't wait to start my new job where I'm not dealing with people. It going to be a nice break after 16 years of being in customer service.

[RANT] I'm so tired of hearing this mentality in support of artificial scarcity and capitalism. Just because you would be a selfish, lazy ass, that produces nothing for society if you were not forced to, does not mean that is the same for everyone else. I want to create. I want to spend my days using my creativity and education to design efficient homes, plan urban footprints that would promote community, local business, and agriculture. But I can't, because I have to get a job working for some corporation and deal with the bureaucracy therein. No matter my aptitude or work ethic my ability is graded by the economic status of my parents and the schooling they couldn't afford for me. I can't be my best, most productive self. I can't pull myself up by my bootstraps. The weight of these fucking bills are too damn high and I'm tired.…

I (18M) had been working as an electrical trainee for almost 6 months. Everyone loved me and I was immensely popular in the company. I almost got laid off (or fired) in August, because of a few things: 1: I used my phone “too much” (IE: pulling it out to check the time occasionally, answering texts from my family once in a while, and replying to work emails). 2: Taking “too many bathroom breaks,”. I have IBS and IBD, so I had to use the bathroom once every hour, and I even explained to my journeymen the issue. 3: I was making some mistakes. Since everyone liked me, nobody told me I was making them, and they fixed my mistakes without notifying me at all. 4: I ate a handful of Skittles from the candy jar in the shop office. The boss accused me of eating all the Skittles, and…

I just had a hiring manager basically admit that the reason they make it so difficult is because they want to cover their asses when they choose a candidate. As in, they can choose a candidate based on semi-illegal means. For example, not hiring someone because she is pregnant, or has a strong accent, etc. “Well, that candidate didn't have the 5 years experience we needed in a coding language that came out 3 years ago.” I'll be looking for a new job ASAP.
